Family Pictures, James turns 1 and other news

So on Saturday we finally got our Family Pictures done!!!! We had them taken at my mom's house and i think there actually pretty good.

My boys are just so cute that I always have to take pictures of them. They really enjoy being with each other and are now at an age where they can keep each other occupied for hours. It's so nice for me to be able to get cleaning and what not done without having to constantly stop.

James turned 1 year old yesterday sadly I was sick and in bed all day so PJ got to take the boys out for a Birthday party at PJ's parents house while I laid in bed. It was actually kind of boring I was not used to the quiet.
We took James in for his 1 year appointment today and he is healthy!!! He weighs 21 lbs and is 30 inches long. He walks alot and is even talking he says mommy, dada , nana, mama(which is what my boys call my mom) he also says peek a boo and here i am. plus others. He also is becoming very good at sign language he tells us when he's sad or even asks for a ball or other toys and food in sign. He likes to talk on phones even if no one is on the other end, and he is very good at mimicking his brother. He is very social with everyone and likes to make sure everyone knows he is here.

Braden is Braden I don't know any other way to put it. He is quite the comedian and loves to make everyone laugh . Lately he tries out a new laugh everyday it so fun to watch him. He is also quite the little tumbler he likes to do somersaults he has been able to do them straight since he was about 18 months he now runs and jumps into them almost making them look like front hand springs. He also likes to show us how he can do somersaults with his hands behind his back. Braden likes to be involved in the choices that we make whether it be on what we are having for dinner or where we are gonna spend the day. It so amazing to see what they learn and the thoughts that they have.
Our family has gone through a lot this year and it would be an understatement to say i am glad it is almost over. However throughout the year we have learned alot and have had many blessings come to us also. So for right now I am just happy that I have a happy and healthy family.
