Lots going on!

Well, a lot has happened since my last post! We went to Colorado for Christmas and had tons of fun! Riley really enjoyed Christmas this year, she loved to open gifts! Of course, Aydia loved the tissue paper just as much as the gifts she got and ended up sleeping through half of the gift opening! Aydia crawled across a room while we were there, so it was neat for my family to get to see that! Now, she is just a little crawling machine and has even started pulling up! She will be walking soon I am sure and then my life will get a whole lot busier!
We came back to Dallas and had an awesome after Christmas Christmas with the Brocks! Andrew and Lenzie came in town from New Mexico and Amanda surprised everyone and came in from Peru! The girls loved getting to see all 3 of them, as did Josh and I!
My best friend Emily was able to come back to Dallas with us for a week! It was really fun having her here! She was here over New Years and we were able to go out for New Years Eve, which is also her bday! We went to this party downtown and got to dress up! It is such a rarity, so it was pretty awesome! She just left yesterday, and things are getting back to normal now for just a little bit.
The girls are actually both sick right now, so it could be a rough day. They are napping. On top of the sicknesses, Aydia gets her 9 month shots today, so she will be feeling really bad tonight and tomorrow. I can't believe she is 9 months old already. My babies are close to being 1 and 2...craziness!!!
I do not remember if I mentioned that Josh had been trying to get into the fire academy or not, but he did get in and is going to start in February. The school is from Feb to May, so we are really excited about that! We are so thankful to the Lord that he worked all of this out! Josh is so ready to have a career and firefighting is truly perfect for him! He is going to make such an awesome fireman! Anyways, unless he gets hired on at a fire station during school, it is unpaid, so we will be trying to figure out what we are going to do during the next couple of months! It will all work out though!
Anyway, here are a few pictures of the last couple of months!







Oh, and if anyone actually reads this, please make a comment so that I know I am not keeping up with this blog for no reason! That would be awesome! Thanks!
