Christmas Break

So we have been in oregon for about 2 weeks and have 5 days still before we have to get back to real life! We have had so much fun so far hanging ouy with all of Josh's friends and family! And we are very excited to announce that Cohen is officially walking now, he is all over the place!! Although we thought that we had escaped the cold, it seemed to have followed us here, it has done nothing but snow and sleet since we got here. Tomorrow we are heading out through the redwoods to the oregon coast to spend New Years Eve at a beachfront hotel that has fireworks and the whole shabang, it should be so much fun! We miss all of our family and friends and hope that you are having an awesome holiday season too!

Crew and Cohen playing great as usual

Cohen and his cousin Aiden

We got to spend some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa last week

Great-Grandpa Aug just loves Cohen!

It was so cute we sat outside and watched Daddy play catch and everytime he threw the ball Cohen just laughed he thought it was so funny!

Josh and the boys at the Monday night Bills game!

We went with the Kings to the Haunted Hayride in Ellicottville and had a blast!

Dang, that is one Stinky Horse!

While Cohen and I were home we went to an awesome orchard where Cohen got to pose as a turkey and ride his first pony

Happy Halloween! This awesome vintage costume was Josh's too.


Score! So much good stuff!


Cohen was all tuckered out from a hard days' work. Its not easy being a devil you know..

I am backk!!

(The end of our trip to IL)
So its been way too long since I have done any blogging.

Life has been totally crazy lately, second year of dental school is intense; not only for Josh but for Cohen and me as well. I am glad for last year breaking us in for Josh being gone, because this year is way worse!


(Crystal Beach)
Bj, Josh's mom moved out a few months ago and its been great to have her around. Cohen loves spending time with Grandma and I am enjoying getting to have a bit of freedom! He is getting so grown up, he is all over the place and such a joy to be around.


(Prunes...need I say more?)
I could go on forever but instead I will just get to the good stuff and post pictures of our life lately

Our stay in Illinois

Here we are at the Chicago Temple

We went to two state parks last week and went on a little hike. Josh being the dare devil he is, climbed out on a log that was six whole inches above the ground!!

Of course Cohen's favorite part of the trip was playing on a blanket near the river and drinking his bottle!

Cohen has been having a hard time sleeping through the night lately so we gave him a taste of rice cereal, and if you can't tell he wasn't sure about it at first.

We went to Brookfield Zoo last week and in honor of NY we posed in front of the Buffalo!!

Its been a good four weeks so far, and we have gotten to do some really cool stuff! Instead of writing an entire novel, Ill just say we are having a blast but we miss everyone in NY and are excited to come home!

Well, tomorrow we will be going on two weeks of six week trip to Illinois. Although we miss all of our friends back in NY we are having a blast! Cohen is getting so smart! I dont think that he has grown much as far as his size but he is rolling over all the time; he is also amazingly in control of his hands its really fun to watch. I am enjoying the relaxing time with nothing responsible to do but I am sure I will be ready to come home in a month! Well I am signing out for the night!

Riverwalk and the Falls

Yesterday Josh, Cohen and I went to the famous Crystal Beach but unfortunately as soon as we parked it started to rain! So then we saw that cool path thats out in the niagara river and tried to find it. After we took a wrong turn and went BACK through customs, we asked the US officers how to find the entrance to the path. They led us in the right direction and we finally found it! it was a great little 2 mile walk with beautiful views! And the day before we took Josh's brothers to the falls. They went on the Maid of the Mist while we took a nap. We are totally gonna miss them we had a blast while they were here!!

How CUTE!!

Yesterday I had about an hour with nothing to do but play with Cohen and he was laying on a tan blanket so i decided to do a little photoshoot and it turned out pretty good!!

RelaXatiON!!!

Tis the season for visiting! My mom and dad flew in today to work on their other house and are just staying through thursday evening. But then Josh's brothers are coming out on sunday and staying til wednesday! Its been over a year since we have seen them so we are very excited! AnywAy,is anyone else stoked that school is so close to being finished?! Oh man its gonna be great to have a few weeks to relax! Well I hope everyone had a great day!

Family in town

Well, the last couple of days my grandparents have been staying with us and its been so fun! After school today Josh and Cohen headed up to Niagara on the Lake to go on a walk with Grandma and Grandpa while I was at work. Then we all went to that great Mexican restaurant on Niagara Falls Blvd to grab a bite to eat. It has been so fun to have them here and we will miss them when they leave in the morning! I am excited to have everyone over in the morning for the shower it should be so much fun!
