Life As A New^man

So just a few minutes ago in the noisy Newman house hold there was a crash heard. Running to investigate Cole soon discovered something disgustingly hilarious. As most of you know Law has been potty training but has not yet learned to put the seat back down or close the door. Grey had wandered into the bathroom found a hair brush and decided to go fishing with it -in the toilet! Oh but that's not all, being a little top-heavy he fell into the toilet with the lid crashing down and trapping him in! luckily his head was no where near the water but he was SOAKED! Needless to say the next step in potty training for Law will be to put the lid down and close the door!

Yesterday was my birthday and it was awesome! I had a great time hanging out with my chillens, I got A TON of loving phone calls, net msgs, voicemails, and txt msgs from family and friends -seriously I didn't know I was so loved! Cole came home with a big bunch of flowers and a bday cake! My friend Shannon stopped by and gave me an awesome (and much needed) hand moisturizing kit, and my friend Karen came over and gave me some SUPER cute earrings! Cole got take out Chinese food mmmmMMMM! We ate, had cake, then watched the Bourne Supremacy. All-in-all a great day! I was so happy because since Grey had been so sick my bday was kinda put on the back-burner but everyone made it a great day! Thanks so much to all of you for all your love and bday wishes! -Especially yours Rochelle Grey woke up this morning with no fever and is doing GREAT! Thanks for all those that have been keeping him in mind and in your prayers!

the picture is pretty much self-explanitory Law wants to be a baby -its funny most of the time but occasionally annoying, like when I'm feeding Grey his bottle and Law comes up with his sippy cup and wants me to feed it to him too. what do you think is this normal???

So the boys both enjoyed halloween and got plenty of candy -we took one for the team and ate Grey's ;) Law was a skunk and Grey was a scarecrow. Ray took some pics of them both as skunks it was SUPER CUTE! We were by ourselves for Thanksgiving and it was really nice. I made the dinner all by myself! and it actually turned out YUMMY! We didnt get any pics at Christmas or New Year's but we had a great time at Grandpa Mike & Grandma Jina's for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, then went to the Newman's for Christmas dinner and had fun there too! New year's was fun. Dave, Cole, and I stayed up, ate good food and just relaxed it was great!

Grey got his head shaved when he was just 4 months old, we usually wait for a year but he had tons of hair and it was getting very patchy. Not to worry he now has a full head of hair and will STILL need his head shaved at the traditional one-year mark :) So here's the boy's after their hair-cuts!

I was so surprised to get on here and see that 4 people commented -not that four is a ton- I just thought everyone would have stopped checking my blog since its been forever since I've updated. Having two kids is a RIOT! I just have to tell you how fun it has been. Its crazy to see that two children who come from the same parents, live in the same house, raised with the same rules, and are the same gender are SO completely DIFFERENT! Law likes to go to bed & get up early Grey likes to stay up & sleep in Law was a SUPER particular baby (and still is) who is very serious (and says so on a constant basis "Mom, I'm serious ") Grey is very laid back and playful and smiles and laughs almost constantly Law has always been good about eating food and generally doesn't complain Grey is ULTRA picky about eating its gotta be the right temperature, texture, taste and timing Law is very vocal and LOUD. You know exactly when he's getting into trouble because he gets ...

I KNOW ITS BEEN FOREVER SINCE I'VE POSTED ANYTHING SO I HAVE ALOT TO CATCH UP ON BUT FOR NOW LETS HAVE A LITTLE REVIEW OF SOME THINGS THAT WENT ON IN '09 sorry no pics :/ WITH HAVING A BABY AND GOING THROUGH 'THE FIRST YEAR' IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS YEAR HAS FLOWN BY! GREY- WAS BORN, GOT TEETH, A FIRST HAIRCUT, ROLLED OVER, SAT UP, ENJOYED SOLID FOODS, STARTED CRAWLING AND WALKING (in the same day), SAID HIS FIRST WORDS, AND NOW CAN WALK UN-ASSISTED ALL IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE A FEW DAYS. HE IS NOW ALMOST A YEAR AND I CANT BELIEVE HOW BIG HE HAS GOTTEN! LAW- HAS BECOME AN AMAZING BROTHER WHO LOVES TO HELP, PLAY, TALK, AND SING WITH HIS LITTLE GREY GOOSE. HE'S LEARNED SO MUCH THIS PAST YEAR; GOING TO BED WITHOUT A BINKI, DANCING, SINGING AND MEMORIZING A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SONGS (TONIGHT'S GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT & I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE ARE SOME OF HIS FAVORITES), TAKING NAPS W/O A BINKI, A WHOLE SLEW OF NEW WORDS (incl. some we're not so proud of :P lol),...
