Doran's thoughts

Today Doran said the 3 funniest things and they were all right in a row. I loved them so much that I had to blog about them so I don't forget.

1: "Mommy, Daddy's here!"
"No Daddy isn't here Doran, that is Donald's car."
"No, its Daddy's car."
"Donald has Daddy's old car now Doran. It is Donald, not Daddy."
........."Oh." Sigh...

2. I was sitting on the rocking chair and he came up to me and said, "Mommy, I want to hold you!" I loved it!

3. He came walking up to me very slowly with a very sad face so I said, "Doran what is wrong?"
"I went poopoo."
"Ok."
"It smells."
I could not stop laughing!

before and after...

This post actually makes me a little sad. Brock has been due for a haircut for a while to get rid of his straggly hair in back, cute curly straggly hair! Doran's was so long it was hard to do anything with anymore! So take one last look at how long and cute there hair was...
We wanted Doran's to be a 2 on the sides and a 4 on the top but I accidently gave Seth the 2 I guess and well, now it is a 2 all over. He is proud of it, but I do miss it!
Brock's is sad for two reasons! 1 I miss the curls and 2 he looks like a little boy and not a baby! But they both look so handsome!

Birthday Party!

Here is the little stud at his Birthday party! You can't really tell in any of the pitures but his hair looked so cute! He had a faux hawk and his little back was so curly! Look out for this one year old ladies!!!

Doran loved Brock's presents! He road this toy around while it was in the box and Brock walked around holding onto it! They were both in cute little moods.

Here they are opening toys! You can see how curly both of their hair was in this picture! He got lots of really fun stuff!

Birthday cake! Atleast he liked looking at it! When we put it on his tray he didn't take a single bite and after a minute he picked it up and chucked it on the floor! Something is wrong with my boys because they won't eat birthday cake! Doran wouldn't on his first birthday either! This picture is right before he threw it!
So we gave him a sippy cup of chocolate milk instead which he had no problem with!

Here he is playing with Jaxy with his cool new car!

One year ago!

At about 12:35 a.m. on January 8th Seth and I welcomed (Dallan Rodney for about an hour!) Brock Rodney into the world! I remember he seemed so small to us and the first thing we both said was how tiny he was. The Doctor corrected me right away and told he was actually really big! One ounce shy of 10 lbs and 4 ounces less than his brother! I was three days late and was scheduled to be induced the next morning. I really wanted to have Brock on the 8th because his birthday would be 1/8 and Doran's is 8/1! Kind of silly but I love it!

Brock with his parents for the first time!

Doran wasn't very interested in him while we were in the hospital. He started liking him when we got home!

Doran was however interested in the wheelchairs that were all over in the hall!
Happy 1st Birthday Brock!

The Holidays

We had lots of visitors over the holiday season. We had Zach and Nikki, Sammi and Katie, Ry and Emily and the kids, and Dad and Coleen and the boys. It was pretty fun and kept us real busy from the week of Christmas until Friday after New Year. It is kind of sad now that everyone is gone.
The boys really like having company. Brock loved that there was a baby that had a binky. He would pull his binky out of his mouth and then put it back in like he was in charge. Doran loved Sacky. He would ask for him any time he wasn't around.

We also got to see a lot of Grandpa Cloward. He is so sweet, he always has a smile on his face even though I am sure he is pretty miserable.

I made a copycate recipe of Cafe Rio on New Years and Jake made HUGE burritos with tons of meat. It got a little messy so the guys made him wear a bag teasing him and he kept it on the whole time he was eating! He is a good sport.

My Dad and Ryan left for their drives home on the same morning so we met at Carl's Jr. to let the kids play and everyone say goodbye. It was pretty sad to see everyone go and it was sad how lonely the house felt for a little while. But we had really great Holiday season with lots of family from every side and we hope everyone else did too!
