I lied... :)

Okay, wouldn't you know it! As soon as I decide I am done blogging, we get pregnant :) I cannot possibly leave this little nugget out of the loop, so I have started a new blog. The address is below...please feel free to follow it and see what we are up to :)

The End

Well, it has been one heck of a blog ride ;) I have loved capturing all of my boys "firsts" up to this point, posting all these fun pictures and keeping a diary of sorts of our lives. I am so glad that those of you who read this have enjoyed it and got to see our somewhat everyday lives. Unfortunately, it has become too much for me to keep up regularly and I have decided to end our blog.

Thank you again for those of you who have read about us and adored the pictures of our cute kiddos like we do :)

Love,
The Bales

The Holiday's

We had a wonderful holiday season full of fun, new memories and lots of new toys :) The boys met Santa (hated it!), got their tree, decorated the house, checked out Zoo Lights...and then got sick :( One week before Christmas they both got a nasty cold and promptly passed it on to mommy. Although no one was feeling real well, we managed to have a great Christmas and enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

After Christmas we decided to head out of town and stay in Seaside for a long New Year's weekend. The weather was wonderful and we were all able to just lay low and get over our colds. It was awesome to ring in 2013 as a foursome :)

Looking forward to all that this new year brings!

Thanksgiving Weekend 2012

This year on Thanksgiving, we decided to have breakfast at our house as a family and lay low until we headed to Bebe's for dinner. I decided to take Wyatt on a run with me and since it was a nice day, we stopped to play in the park for a while. After naps, we headed down to Laurie's and enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with lots of family. It was so fun to watch the kids play together and trot around in their hats - they all looked soo cute :) We even had a kids table at the end of the adult table, and they actually did very well! Thank you to Bebe for hosting and for having a wonderful dinner :)

On Friday, we stayed at home and hung out (I actually worked my volunteer hours at Red Sled) and then we went to my parents for a second Thanksgiving dinner. My uncle came up from Salem to celebrate with us and it was great to see him. We had a great dinner and the kids enjoyed playing with all of Grandma's toys :)

We are so thankful for all that we have and all the wonderful family we are surrounded by each day. We hope everyone else had as wonderful of a holiday as we did and got to celebrate with all of their loved ones.

Turkey Trot

Wyatt's school put on a fun "Turkey Trot" for the kiddos and their parents this year. They each made their own shirts and Turkey headdresses - which were adorable :) I volunteered to help and brought Nolan along to join the fun. We walked around Progress Ridge and showed off our "turnkey's" - the kids thought it was so fun! It was great to see Wyatt interact with the kids and to have him show me all he has learned about the holiday Thanksgiving.

PS - When asked what he was thankful for (they wrote it on leaves and added it to the "Thankful Tree" at school) Wyatt said "Mommy and Cars" :)











Friendsgiving 2012

Our friends Genny and John always host a wonderful Friendsgiving dinner - and this year was the best one yet! The food, company and kiddos made the event a very fun and full evening, showing us all how thankful we should be and are for each other. As always, they were wonderful hosts and opened their home to all of us! I only snapped a few pictures of the kids, but next year we really will try to get a group shot ;)











Our 3rd Anniversary

Although our actual anniversary was spent at the hospital getting Wyatt's tongue surgery taken care of, we still managed to have a nice dinner at home and some champagne to celebrate :)

Our real celebration happened on Saturday when we dropped the boys off at Bebe's and stayed the night in Eugene. We were fortunate enough to get tickets to the Duck game up in the Paulson suite and got to tailgate with our friends before the game. We had a lot of fun (maybe a bit too much!) and enjoyed our evening as "big kids" :) Thank you to Laurie for taking the kiddos - we know it is a lot and appreciate the help!
