Well Checks!!

So on Tuesday we took the boys in to the doctors for their well checks.... Dr. Alvey said that both the boys are super healthy. It was Skylers 2 year old check and he weighs in at 25 pounds FINALLY!!! This little boy does not gain weight very easily, which could be becuz he's kind of a picky eater!! He loves "nanas" and "toots" (bananas and tootsie rolls)!! He drinks tons of milk but just does not gain weight fast... as for Gaige it was his 6 month old check up and he weighs 15 pounds 10 ounces!! Yes he is a CHUNK!! He's mommas chunky monkey!! The doctor told us that he is actually 2 months ahead of his development milestones. He's already sitting up all by himself... he started doing it a couple weeks ago... he is also getting 4 teeth so he is kind of grumpy!! Both boys had to get shots Skyler got 1 shot and Gaige got 3 shots and 1 oral shot!! They both did awesome!! They cried just for a minute then was fine. Skyler called it his "owie".
I'm just super glad that they are both super healthy!! We are so blessed!!

David and I have are still walking every morning for an hour then working out after!! We've recruited work out buddies too!! Davids brother Mikey and his Gurlie friend Ashley!! It is so fun!! While Ashley and I are working out to Turbo Jam the boys are in our basement working out in the excercise room!! So far everything has been pretty pain less!! But we are all starting to see results already its so exciting!!

Everyone is healthy and happy here at the Joos house!!

Boys new pictures!!








Skyler and Gaige are going to be the best of buds I can already tell.







In order for us to get Skyler to smile we had squirt him with air, it was pretty entertaining.




















Skyler photographs so well... takes after his daddy!!


















Sweetest baby in the world!!












A picture is definatly worth a million words!! Gaige loves to smile!!











He kept trying to eat the teddy bear!!













This was one of the last pictures we took so he had had enough... he loves to snuggle and is a binky baby!!
My aunt Marianne is such a talented photographer... if you are looking for a good photographer let me know and I will give you her number... she did such an awesome job!! My boys are so photogenic!! I probably brag too much but I can't help it when I have such perfect kids and the best hubbie EVER!!










It's been UMMM..... a long time!!

So i'm not doing very good at keeping our blog updated.... oops!! So heres the update now.... We'll start from youngest to oldest... Gaige, is almost 6 months old already!! I can not believe how fast time flies!! I never believed people when they would say that kids grow too fast!! Well I do now!! Gaige is learning to sit up by himself, he does really good until he gets excited then he tips over. He doesn't like to roll very much (I think its cuz he's a CHUNK), he loves to talk and smile. He totally thinks he is carrying on a conversation with you its cute. He is a very smart baby as well he thinks he needs to do what big brother is doing... example... when Skyler is drinking out of his sippy cup Gaige thinks he needs to too so he trys to take it and some times is successful ;). He loves to explore anything and everything!! We think he is starting to teeth... he gnaws on everything!! We have started feeding him baby food and he LOVES it... He loves to take bathes and be in the water... he'll enjoy memorial day weekend... we are going to Lava. Gaige is a very good baby!!
Skyler just turned 2 at the begining of April, and believe me he is most definatly a 2 year old!! The terrible twos are oh SO much fun!! Some days when he's being really naughty I tell him that if he doesn't be nice that I am going to sell him on ebay... he looks at me like I'm crazy!! I wouldn't trade him for the world. Although some days it sounds like the easy way out!! Skyler is getting really good at talking, I love it!! We are starting to be able to understand him more which makes things so much easier on both ends... Skyler loves to play outside and to try and wrestle Gaige, he just doesn't understand that Gaige is still to litte... He loves to watch pretty much whatever comes on the disney channel, plus spongebob. He loves to try and help daddy fix things. He mimics his daddys every move its so sweet!! Even tho Skyler has is naughty days he for the most part is a very good toddler.
Me.... hmmm... not too much to say about myself.... I'm just watching kids in the morning and doing hair at night and on weekends... I just started making bows and doing stuff with beads... I'm trying to be more crafty.... I love doing crafts and making things so I'm trying to get good at them... I do laundry and clean my house every day of my life.... but the best part is I am able to stay home with my 2 boys!! I wouldn't trade that for the world!! I am still working towards my goal at loosing 50 pounds!! So far i've lost almost 10 pounds!! I drag my husband out of bed every morning to go for an hour walk with the boys and I!! I love being a mom its the greatest blessing!!
David, he is still working at life time taking apart machines and fixing them. He loves what he does!! He wishes that they would pay him a little more, but everything is on freeze right now!! He decided a couple days ago that he wants to go back to school to become a physical therapist assistant and then after getting that he wants to continue on and become a physical therapist!! We are super excited about that!! He is planning on starting this fall, it'll be really good for him. He loves to play with Skyler and Gaige in his free time... He is such a good daddy!!

Life has been super busy at the Joos house!! We just recently painted our kitchen and frontroom as well as the hall way!! It looks SO much better than it did a year ago when we bought it... i do need to make all new window valances tho... I am really going to try and get better at blogging!! Also we just got the boys pictures taken so I will post them.
