Cute Photos of the Kids

Here are some cute photos from this summer. My favorite is of Sydney reorganizing the pantry and eating the peanut butter with a giant spoon. I am sure she learned it from Eric.

Back to Huntington Beach

We have had lots of fun playing at the beach this summer. Carson really surprised us as he literally charges the waves as they come in. Eric will usually take Sydney out in the water (holding her) and jump some of the larger waves. A few have gotten them quite well, but Sydney just holds on tight and keeps going. I keep waiting for the lifeguard to call them in...asking what kind of parents would allow that?

Eric's Big Day

So I sort of skipped a few months of very important Bischoff details, life just got crazy. Here are a few pictures of Eric's graduation...which really was awesome to witness. I know it is cheesy to say, but I really am so proud of him. Thanks to everyone who helped us along the way.

I had to throw out a few photos of Eric's classmates too. Good luck to you all!

Courtney's Wedding

Courtney just got married...it was beautiful and busy! Courtney looked gorgeous...and Sydney and Ethan were dancing maniacs. The food was great and the kids did awesome. Congratulations Courtney and RJ!

The Take Down

Sydney loves to hug Carson...and Carson loves this until she puts him in one of Eric's ju jit su holds. He is growing so fast though, I think the tables will turn soon.





We are loving the CA sun...and being outside everyday...and In-n-Out...I had forgotten how absolutely convenient and delicious that is! Watertown, however does have the best parks ever...we miss you.

spring break

we took a very fun trip to DC and Phili to visit family. the kids were absolutely fabulous considering the long drive...the worst part was that burger king and nathan's hot dogs seem to be the only restaurants along the New Jersey Turnpike...gross!!! here are some photos from our trip.

exciting news!

I am not pregnant...don't even think that please, but we are moving to CA:) Eric got a job in Pasadena. Assuming all goes well, we will not be changing this venue...and plan to head west toward the end of May. I am so excited about being closer to family and all of the fun things out west, but will miss my friends here...can't think about it.

Sydney is taking a dance class now with her friend Kendall. They are so cute. She does have more energy though than any of the other kidlets in the class.Sydney cannot get enough of playing with her friends. She and Daxton always fight over this car, but they figured out (or at least she thinks so) how to make it work.

We just got a new camera and so I wanted to show off our cute kids. Carson is such a happy, easy going kid during the day (but a terrible sleeper...I am sure I have aged 5 years because of him)...anyway, he has discovered his tongue and I had to show how he looks frequently.

airplane with Kylee

I was going through my pictures and saw this cute video of Christmas. Sydney had so much fun with her older cousins. I thought it was so funny that her 5 year cousin Kylee could play "airplane" with Sydney.

A Valentine Miracle

Yipee...after five months, Carson is taking a pacifier...which is so soothing for him. It has made the past few evenings so peaceful!


I was up early this morning and made cookies. Sydney saw them and of course wanted one. I said that if she ate her entire breakfast she could have one (she never eats her entire breakfast)...but this morning she did. After, she started singing happy birthday cake to you and put cups on top of her head like a party hat. She always adds "cake" to the end of happy birthday. Obviously, her favorite part of birthday's.

Bischoff Updates

Eric recently earned his Blue Belt in Ju Jitsu...a very big deal...CONGRATULATIONS!!! He has also recruited half of our ward to join the local club. I think he needs to consider being a marketer for a club if dentistry starts to turn south for us...or at least get a commission for all of his recruits! What a man!



So you probably think we know where we'll be living near year...but we don't. I can tell you that Carson is 5 months old, really a giant sweetheart who is still not sleeping well. He loves to be with his sister, and Sydney loves to be the big sister. She calls Carson: Little Brother or Tiny Boy...but rarely by his first name. It is still really cold in Boston...and we have had some very fun snow days.



Sydney loves to jump on the bed and stand on dad's hands...and although the photo taken is a little blury...she is going to be a great cheerleader.



Carson in his favorite toy again...he really loves it here!!!

I am getting old!

I went to lunch with my friend Katie this weekend (go T-bird's) who said she "twittered" a friend. I had no clue what that was...and then was mocked (in a fun friendly way) for not being on facebook by my other friend Shonna (go T-bird's). Well I feel like I can barely keep up with my blog as is, I usually read email only and respond twice a week to those emails that are important...and any spare time I have I usually try to spend sleeping. Our YW lesson today was about murmmering (however I only heard about 5 minutes before I had to take Carson out) so I don't mean for this as a complaint...but my life is about 90% focused on my children and 10% focused on other things (such as shopping and sleeping). I really do feel grateful to be a mom and love it, but it has limited my free technology time and therefore, I really am lacking in the realm of technology (it happened so fast). Overall, I don't mind. I love my time with my little ones. I love having playdates, going to the Science Museum, Library etc...it is like a constant party for me too and I know that in a few years they'll be the ones mocking me for not knowing technology stuff...but I will keep up with them so they can't pull a fast one on me. Sydney and Carson are growing so fast...it's funny how in just a few years life can change so quickly. Sydney said the cutest thing...we frequently have frosted mini-wheats for breakfast and I decided to switch it up...so we had cinnamon life. After Sydney's first bite she said, "these are the best mini-wheats ever". It was so funny.

Santa

So last year Sydney was fine with Santa...but this year she was like every other two year old in America, totally freaked out! She wouldn't get near Santa, without me holding her. She was screaming until Eric said smile. She loves to smile for the camera andI a like magic, she stopped yelling for this photo. She also was made her acting debut as a bunny in the nativity scene! I am sure they were part of the animals at the Inn. Where was Carson during all of this...in the baby Bjourn with Eric. He loves that little contraption (I wish he liked sleeping in his carrier more).

Hiding

So we would love for Sydney to be potty trained...we thought we were onto something too since she announces that she is "hiding", however she has no desire for that sort of thing yet. Check out one of her favorite hiding spots.

Thanksgiving at the Bischoff's

We had so much fun over Thanksgiving. Sherri, JR, Ethan, Courtney and RJ came to visit. Sydney and Ethan had so much fun together...they woke up every morning asking for each other.
