Iowa Game

Saturday Joe and I went to the Elks to watch the Iowa game.  Even though we ended up losing, we had a great time with our friends and doing a little tailgating :)  Cheers to the Hawks making it to the Rose Bowl this year!!!

My Mini-Me

Doing Planks :)

Taking a break with the iPad

Beau is definitely my mini-me.  Whenever I am in the living room working out, he likes to "esersizzze" with me by doing jumping jacks, sit ups, push ups and now planks :)  He totally melts my heart!  Whenever we are done working out, he says he needs to rest or take a break and play on the iPad.  I think he may have me wrapped around his finger :)

Thanksgiving 2015

 This year's Thanksgiving was very busy, especially with having one of the Thanksgivings at our house--which we love hosting by the way! :)  The Converse Thanksgiving was entertaining as usual, with all of the cousins together playing cards or just picking on each other, we had a great time.  Thanksgiving with Michelle's side of the family was so laid back and relaxing.  The weather was perfect and the kids were even to play outside for part of the day!

Nana's Boy :)

Baine is Walking

I am VERY behind on this, but Baine is a walker now!  And he is definitely into everything.  Over the past few weeks he has been walking, and slowing turning into running :)  We have no moments of peace or relaxation anymore in our house!

Snuggles With My Boys

Beau and Baine, especially Beau, are in a cuddle stage right now.  Baine only likes to cuddle if he has his favorite anchor blanket :).  Beau sat on my lap while we watched ELF, and it was the best feeling.  I love these moments with the boys and I just want time to slow down!

First Snow of Winter

A couple of weeks ago we had our first snow for winter. Beau was so excited! He loves to be outside, and definitely doesn't mind the cold (he does NOT get that from me!) Beau and I played outside all weekend having snowball fights, making snow angels, and attempting to make a snowman.

Baine's 1st Hair Cut

It was indeed that time that Baine needed a haircut.  He did great for it :)  It just shows me that he is most certainly still my "baby" because in order to cut his hair, I held him in my arms and rocked him gently while he drank a bottle so Amy could cut his hair.  He kept touching his head after his haircut.  It was almost like he was asking "Hey, where did all of my hair go?!"
