Bath time chattering

Micah just got out of the bath tub and while he's freezing trying to warm up he is just talking away chattering teeth and all. Earlier I was getting ready to head out to the store and Micah came up and said go with mama go with ... Can anyone turn down such a sweet little guy talking so well? not me at least not tonight so we had a mommy micah shopping date... he was a little angel just sucked his thumb and held onto blankey the whole time. He's also discovered that the light switch by his crib turns on the closet light so he gives himself a night light too cute. I know later I will regret thinking that was cute but right now it still is.

learning to snuggle

Micah has NEVER really been a cuddly little boy but ever since he got a new baby brother he's decided he likes to have attention too. So we are SLOWLY working on cuddling I know it sounds CRAZY but we seriously have to work with him a little bit at a time. The other day Daddy watched Baby Einstein with him and had to constantly keep him distracted just to sit in his lap. Last night he did a little better he watched our normal Monday night line up of shows with us in daddy's lap and did really well so there may be hope yet. We are working on smiles with Az. He's given a few but were not sure if they were on purpose yet.

We FINALLY got the boys pics done. We did a family pic and individual's of the boys for their 1 month and 1 year . That was def an experience both boys were screaming for MOST of the shoot yet we were able to get a FEW good pics. we were going to do the boys together YEA that was NOT happening that night. We'll try again in the Spring for Easter when Az can fend for himself a little better.

Recent Happenings

We have successfully survived the 1st month of 2 boys. My mom came and stayed with us for 2 weeks. I DID not want her to leave and we terrified but I think I've managed pretty well. It helps to have 2 GREAT little boys. We have survived going to the grocery store just the 3 of us and everything. Last night the 4 of us even went out to dinner and both boys did great.

A few weeks ago we went to Grand Junction to see my brother and sis in law and sweet niece Jolie the ONLY girl so far in the Trinklein gang. She is just a doll and likes her Aunt Carley so OF course I just ate her up. We also got to show Az to everyone in GJ all his Aunts and Uncle's and Great Grandparents. It was a GREAT trip. Micah did get sick and Tom came home before we did and got sick but that kind of thing happens. I was able to see a few friends and spend the whole week with my sis in law I don't get to see very often. We went and visited Aunt Helen and I got an old Japanese fan and geisha doll that mean a lot to me so I was VERY happy about that. Then at the end of our stay I drove both boys home BY MYSELF. We stopped and visited Gpa Tom and Gran in Montrose on the way and then had daddy meet us in Salida to finish the trip. Unfortunately i don't have any pics to share ...

My two monkey's

For Halloween this year we had not one but 2 monkey's they we SO cute. We went down town with a friend to the trunk or treat my first outing with the boys. It went pretty well Micah was a little fussy because of the sun in his eyes but I think he enjoyed himself. Az just slept in the snuggly. Later that night once daddy got home we took the boys around to the neighbors houses to show them off.

Arrival of Azariah Thomas

We are VERY proud to announce the birth of our 2nd son AZARIAH THOMAS KUGLER.

He was born Oct 12, 2009 at 9:22am weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 19 inches long. He actually looks like his mommy which I am VERY excited about. My mom was able to come this time and be in the room when he was born which I was VERY excited about and I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it as well. This time ALL the grand parents got to meet him the same day he was born, My dad kept Micah and then brought him up to meet him and Gloria and my mom were at the hospital when he was born and Paul came up after he got off of work. Az def knew he was loved the DAY he was born we had a few friends come visit us and family of course.
Micah wasn't too sure about him in the beginning all he wanted to do was steal his blanket cause it looked like his. He still thinks brother's blankey is best but quickly gives it back when asked. He's not too keen on holding brother but likes to check in on him from time to time. Tom and I couldn't be happier with our two sweet boys.

Micah's 1st birthday

Micah is now 1 year old... we had his party at a local park with a few of our friends and Gwah and Papa ( Tom's parents) Micah stood up in the middle of all of us while opening his presents but NO one got a picture of it because we all so SHOCKED. He had a blast he loved his monkey cake and had gwah clean his hands just about every bite. He does not like to be dirty.

July- Sept

We have had a very busy end of summer. Micah and I along with Bumpa and Bonnie went to AZ again to visit Jason and Linda and meet new baby Jolie. Micah wasn't so sure about her because she got a bottle a lot more than he did or so he thought. He loved chasing Toby all over the house tho and having Bumpa and Bonnie's attention.




In Aug we went back to Cheyenne for Tom's cousin Patrick's wedding. Micah was mauled by another baby girl that just wanted lots of kisses from him and since she walked and he didn't she won most of the time.


Micah loves to go to Gpa and Gwah's house to chase the kitties and rock out on his little key board. He is going to be quite the musician we have the feeling. If there's music playing Micah's hips are going too, it's very cute and he's even starting to sing with daddy in the car.

He also LOVES electronic's he was more than happy to help daddy figure out Gwah's new wireless keyboard and he thinks all phones and remotes are for his use to drive around like cars and push buttons.
Like all little boys Micah has had his fair share of bumps and bruises. He got his first fat lip the other day. ( crashed into the hardwood) and then not even a week later he crawled up under neather his high chair and flipped right over the bar giving him his first goose egg. He's normally quite the champ tho and he needs cuddles and some tylenol but then he's off and into everything again in no time.

Labor Day weekend we stuck around the Canon City area because the Doc advised not traveling away anymore until after the baby comes so we took a small day trip to CO Springs and caught the Balloon Glow that night with Autn Carolyn, Josh, Brittney and the boys. Micah LOVED the balloon's he would light up just as much as they did and clap happily everytime they were lit. We will most def be going back next year to see him light up again.





Micah almost made it a whole year without having to get a hair cut. He went from no hair to his hair growing like crazy so we decided it was time. Hopefully we don't have to do it very often tho he's not much for sitting still. He looks lots better now tho thanks to Aunt Carolyn. And of course daddy had to spike his hair when he was all done.






Micah will be 1 next week. I can't even hardly believe it. We went shopping for his presents a few weeks ago and have just about given him everything we got him already, we are such suckers when it comes to him. He also found out where the others are hiding and loves to sneak into mom and dad's room to take a quick preview. Well I figured I should prolly catch everyone up since I'm sure it will take me forever again once the new baby is here which is in 4 weeks.
