January 2011

January was a busy and fast month for us. We returned home from an amazing trip to Disney over Christmas with Jason's family and jumped right back into our busy schedules. We had a first for both the boys in January as they were able to try skiing for the first time when we made a quick trip up to Crystal for Grandma Mary's Birthday. Jacob really loved skiing and did very well. Deacon wanted to try to but wasn't as big of a fan. Hopefully next winter I will be able to ski with my boys!! I have so many memories of skiing as a family when I was a child I hope to do the same with our kids in the years to come!!!

Also in January we had another little scare with the pregnancy as I was having preterm labor so the boys got to spend some extra time with Daddy as well as their grandparents while mommy spend a week or so on the couch. Grandpa Joel even took them sledding out by Like Michigan. They were gone for a really long time. Grandma Bouwens even went out looking for them afraid they fell in the lake. LOL

We also moved the boys together into Jacob's room and Jason moved the crib down for our baby girl. We thought we should get a few things ready just encase she made an early arrival.

Jason really didn't mind helping with this project but might not have enjoyed the picture taking part!!!
