CHRISTMAS IN FEBRUARY
*My mom's side of the family got together to Waterloo and stayed at a hotel. It was full of great food, cards, swimming, visiting, Graduation awards ceremony (one of those fun things my family plans), Christmas exchange, and coffee in the lounge 24 hours a day! Fun times!

SINK OR SWIM?!? (Song by Tyrone Wells too, look it up.... good stuff!)
* We would never let Zander sink.. but he did get dunked for the first time in the pool. Last summer he lounged in the pool on a raft, but now he's getting to splash. Oh, and it's really sweet how cuddly he is when your swimming with him!
GOOD-BYES:
* Joey (aka Cocomo) got his dream job in Oregon! Way to go cuz! This was at his going away party at Old Chicago. He is right behind Andy. He's a stud!
*Also, said good-bye to a VERY special friend, before she left for Cairo, Egypt! Chelsey, we will miss you! SO Thankful for you and skype! :) You will always be Zanders first girlfriend!
*Bye-Bye clothes! Spent a day, getting rid of stuff! Ahhhh, feels good!
*Study Area- Remember how pumped I was to have a little reading nuk on the landing... well that ended this month because Zander could crawl/fall right down the stairs. Bye bye study nuk. Hello cluttered kitchen table!
HILTON MAGIC* Although I've been going to quite a few Iowa Hawkeye's women's games this year, we also got the chance to get back on our stomping grounds, in Ames, with the Kampmans! Hilton was rock'n, Zander didn't cry but he jumped everytime ISU made a big play! AHhhh, no place like Hilton! I had butterflies the entire time!
* Met Jill and Jaida at the game during half-time. Jill led our chapels when I was a player at ISU, but also helped me grow in so many other ways as well! I love you Jill! Jamie and Jill were in the same bible study in college. Come on.. sing it with me"It's a small world after all...."

LOVE POTION #9:
*Zander giving his FAVORITE girl a kiss!
* Andy and I got to go on a HOT date for Valentine's Day :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this MAN!
* Zander loves him too! Made-this onesie for him! Well I made it, but Zander wears it!
*HA hilarious! Andy and I were going to make a big heart shaped cookie. I opened up the oven and this is what I found! :)
*We saved part of it and turned it into a "Love Monkey" cookie!
*Josiah giving Z a big hug! Talk about two sweet cuddle boys!
9 MONTHS!
*We saved part of it and turned it into a "Love Monkey" cookie!*Josiah giving Z a big hug! Talk about two sweet cuddle boys! 9 MONTHS!* He is crawling everywhere now! His favorite places to go are anywhere which he can find cords or the pantry to get a glass bottle! Oh yeah, I guess that means it's time to child-proof this place!
*He also learned how to pull himself up this week! Here's the first time he did it, look at the excitement on his face! Oh, how can you not love this boy!

Oh, how can you not love this boy!* I wasn't able to do the normal 9 month picture with the little "post-it note sign" because he has gotton smart and now he knows the sign is there so tries to grab it. Stinker buns! Maybe I'll see if he can grab it on his head? hmmmm....
