Our family update FINALLY!!

I guess its time to update on our little family now!! Lets see.... David is still working full time and going to school.... he starts his PTA program this year and he is way excited!! He has been fixing a couple cars in his spare time and putting up with his wife wanting to repaint every room in the house ha ha!! He is the best hubbie EVER!!!
Skyler is getting bigger every day he is a 3 year old going on 12!!! He thinks he is a big kid!! He has recently learned how to play a few games on the xbox.... Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman and Lego Indiana Jones.... and surprisingly he's actually really good at it!! He loves his little brother and sister and is alwayz wanting to help out (okae not alwayz....) He LOVES to make Brexlyn laugh...
Gaige just turned two in November and believe me his is definiatly a 2 year old!!! He pretty much thinks he is invinsible (sp?) he climbs on anything and everything and if its high enough to jump off of you can bet he's doing jus that!!! He is ALL boy!! He also loves making his sissy laugh!!
Brexlyn is now 6 months old and she sits up by herself, rolls, babbles, laughs, gives kisses and loves to smile!! We recently started her on baby food... which she thinks she is a lizard and sticks her tongue out and licks the spoon... yes she is crazy!!! She loves sweet potatoes and bananas so far!! She is also teething and I think her bottom teeth will be here VERY SOON!!! She thinks her two crazy maniac big brothers are the funniest things in the world!! She  loves to laugh on her daddy and fall asleep!! She is such a blessing in our lives... she scared us at first but now she is a very happy healthy baby!!!
As far as I go.... I am still watching kids.... going on my fourth year!!! It has its happy moments and its very frustrating moments but for the most part i really enjoy it!! I recently started and online course to become a medical transcriptionist (Davids mom was one and loved it!!!) I am still doing hair in my basement and still making bows!!! In October I put in a application to sell my crafts at Quilted Bear  and in December I finally heard back from one of them so I now sell Bows, Toddler belts, headbands, tutus nursing covers and wind covers for carseats at the Quilted Bear in Provo as of January 1ST!!!!!!!! Its a new and exciting adventure!!!
Anyways... we are all happy and healthy here at the Joos house but I better go put my 3 greatest blessings in my life to BED!!!

2010 has come and gone SO FAST!!

Hey Everyone!!! ha ha yes we are still all alive and kicking!!! Wow where to begin.... ummm.... Thanksgiving was GREAT!! We all stuffed our faces and then wished we hadn't ha ha!! David and I have made it our tradition for the last couple years to go out with the rest of the crazies to do some shopping the day after thanksgiving!! Skyler is at the age now that he can tell us exactly what he wanted for christmas and this year he wanted "lego star wars" and batman and robin!!! So David and I were on a mission to find these toys!! We went to Wal mart at midnight and then to Kohls at 5!! We pretty much got all our gifts from kohls, oh how i love that store!! We went to a couple other stores that day too and by the time we were finished I was beyond EXHAUSTED!!! I'm so grateful i have such wonderful parents who watched my boys while we went on our hunt for the best toys for our kids!! (We took Brexlyn with us since she is still attached to mommie every 2-3 hours ha ha).
Christmas was a blast this year with a 3 and a half year old and a two year old things were kinda noisy and messy but i loved every minute of it!! Christmas was hard for my parents this year becuz all their kids were gone... Cody and Sue are in Washington with their two soon to be three beautiful children (Kaiden and Kyleigh and baby).... Rachelle and Scott were in Boise with his family this year.... and the baby of the family Austin is on a mission in California (and loving every minute of it).... so we invited them to our house to watch the kids open their gifts which i think they enjoyed very much!! At first it was calm and then once the boys realized how much fun it was to open presents they pretty much just tore right thru every present under the tree and the ones my parents brought over!! ha ha they didn't care if it was theirs or not they jus kept going til all the gifts were opened... and YES my kids are SPOILED ROTTEN!!! (i'll post pictures and you can see for yourself) David and I didn't buy too much for each other this year becuz we bought ourselves a new bed not too long before Christmas so we decided that our brand new KING size bed was our christmas!! Although I totally found the cutest bed set for our room!!! and i got it for such a good deal!!! Its black and white Zebra print with giraffe print also!!! I totally love it!! it fits our bed perfectly!! Christmas time is alwayz a busy time for us.... Christmas eve this year we spent at my grandmas and then davids grandparents and then we went home to finish a few things and then off to bed.... Christmas we woke up and spent the morning with my mom and dad and then we went to their house to talk to Austin on Skype (which the kids really enjoyed.... Skyler misses his uncle Austin very much... Gaige was only 13 months old when he left so he doesn't know him to well) it was really good to see him... although it makes us miss him even more... after we went to the church house with davids extended family and then to his dads house for that get together and then we went to David's grammies for dinner and socializing!!! By the time we got home Christmas night we were ALL ready for bed!!! But all in all Christmas is alwayz an enjoyable time!!
