The Nutcracker

Finally after along time (1998 or 1999) the San Jose Ballet's The Nutcracker came back to the State Theatre in Cleveland. This was awesome because every year my dad would take Terra and I to see it. We haven't been able to go because the Cleveland ballet went bankrupt. But it finally made its comeback so my dad took Katy, Xandi, Terra, and I to see the ballet last night. It was even more beautiful than I remembered it. It is so amazing to me how those ballerinas can do such things with their bodies. Being a dancer I know how difficult dancing is especially the talent and technique that ballet requires. Being there brought back such wonderful childhood memories. It was wonderful to be back... especially since it was a date with my dad.. it is so nice to spend time with him. Thank you Dad for a night on the town.
(It was so cute to see Xandi's and Katy's reaction.)

Starring some of the cutest

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!Sorry we couldn't cast all of the cousins in this film.. you all put forth a tremendous effort at try outs however these made the final cuts. Maybe next time. (we love all the same)

His gums are swollen from teething not eating... sorry about that misspelled word or any others.

Happy Thanksgiving!

WE just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Mason's first thanksgiving was an ok event... he didn't really eat because his poor gums are so swollen from eating. But it was an enjoyable experience with loved ones. It was cute when we asked Austin if he was grateful for his brother Mason... he truly sat and thought about it before he answered. Well hope you all had a fat and happy thanksgiving!

Just wasn't fair...

Reviewing my blog I realized that there were more pics of Mason than Austin and it just wasn't fair. It also wasn't fair that Mason's cowboy pic was displayed and Austin's wasn't. The history of this picture is one day when I was feeding Mason.. Austin came crawling down the steps with only his boots and diaper on. It was the cutest thing ever. It put a smile on my face!

Just Trying to Help

I love it when Austin does his best to be a big brother and help out. It is really quite cute, however, some days I just want to cry because it really isn't help. Today I put Mason in the highchair to make dinner and when I turned back around to my son saying "Here you go Mason" I saw him dumping the box of baby oatmeal onto the tray.:) Sweet that he was trying to help his brother get a snack, but sad because I had a huge mess to clean up.

catch up

Here are some pictures of the boys from last month and the beginning of this month. We played catch up from Halloween. One of my (tonya's) personal favorites is the cowboy picture. There is just something about little cowboys that is so cute!

YOU DID IT...

OK so thanks to Tiffany, Nikki, Natalie, and Terra I am starting this blog. Hopefully we will keep it current so those of you that are far can see pics of the boys and keep in touch better. Also, Austin loves to look at Weston on the Buchkovich's blog so maybe this will help him to know Austin and Mason a little better. Here it goes, we are going to give it a whirl.
