Wow, I am really bad about updating this! How do you other moms keep up?? I originally started writing this on the 19th...it is now the 25th...well...just like our Christmas cards, better late than never!!
Yesterday I took Mathis for his 2 month well check...can you believe it? Two months old already! I am having a hard time accepting that! He is such a great baby and the boys are still loving him! There is no doubt in my mind that Mathis is going to have to be one tough cookie! The appointment went really well, only 2 shots and an oral roto-virus vaccine. He weighs an amazing 13pounds 11 ounces and is 23 inches long. The nurse practitioner kept laughing about how cute and full of rolls he is...even where he doesn't bend he has rolls! However, much to the disbelief of Greg who thinks he is enormous,Tanner was even bigger at 2 months...hard to believe! He is hitting milestones right on time and has started smiling all the time and "talking" with boys, much to their delight! He rolled over back to belly twice one night last week, though he hasn't since, so it might have been a fluke! All in all, these things, as well as him sleeping for most of the night (around 8:30p-3:30a and then again from 4-8 or whenever I have to get him up to take the boys), we are really having a lot of fun!
Finally, I was able to get our Christmas cards out last week...nothing like Christmas in February, right? Now maybe I can get a little better about updating this blog...we'll see! We are counting down the days til we head to Siesta Key for a little beach and spring training. We will also be surprising the boys with a trip to Sea World. We are looking forward to seeing their reactions to the dolphin shows, and we are pretty excited about going too!
Hope you all are doing well...we'd love to hear from you!

We are doing "boot camp" at our house to try and re-establish the rules - Listening "right away, all the way, and with a happy heart". It has been tough, but I think it may be tougher on Greg and me then them!
We've had some exciting happenings around our house...My Gram came to visit and had a first meeting with Mathis...obviously, he found her quite amusing! :) Also, after trying unsuccessfully to keep Tanner in his crib at night, we finally put a "big boy bed" (aka - a mattress on the floor) in his room. And, after trying unsuccessfully to keep Tanner in his room at night, we put a gate in his doorway...which he promptly scaled. Yes, we are being stretched as parents with that one! :) He is so impish and charming, but is every bit of two right now. That being said, 
we can't help but have to hide our faces and giggles while we are trying to discipline - it truly is impossible to stay angry with that boy! Landon has started baseball again and is really enjoying it, and so are we! Greg is helping with the coaching and having a ball. I am so excited to finally be able to watch him in action and he is so amazing...as a 4 year old...with what he is able to do! I am so surprised by how well he hits and the fact that he is now willing to actually play the field in addition to hitting is exciting too! I, and we, are really looking forward to the season (well, except for Tanner who spends each practice asking why he can't play too).
