Baby Robin

Jackson and I got to fly down to New Mexico with my parents to witness Robin's Baby Blessing. Ben and Stacy are doing awesome and are wonderful parents. We had a great time visiting and getting a better feel for what Albuquerque is like.
I know its a little hard to see in the picture, but Stacy's mom made Robin's blessing dress and it was beautiful. Not too frilly, but not too plain.
Carson and Nathan are beginning to think that nap time for Jackson means playtime for EVERYONE. Jackson loves these moments, I think he feels like one of the "big kids" when they hang out in his room.
Our cousin Luke came over to play for an afternoon and decided to test out the fresh snow in the backyard. They eventually went from sledding to "surfing" down the hill. I thought it was pretty talented myself :-)

Jackson has become the road runner in his walker and can book it across the house so fast now. He loves the refrigerator. Any time I open it, he's right there trying to pull things out. This picture actually depicts him very well, he loves to eat.

Christmas Cont.

We elfed ourselves this Christmas! You should see the dance moves that my boys have. I didn't know they had that much talent. I think every neighbor boy has seen this video of us dancing at least a hundred times :-)
Here's Mr. Scrooge .....aka...Kevin. Doesn't this picture just say it all.
Now this is some real "rockin" christmas music. My parents gave us a show on Christmas day and did a fantastic job. My dad's even started up a band with some of his buddies....I'm not sure if they've ever had a sold out concert, but I've heard they are pretty good.
Santa brought these for Carson and Nathan in their stockings. He sure knows what little boys want.
It snowed a good three inches Christmas Eve which provided some good entertainment Christmas day.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like the taste of a Christmas tree light.
Holy schnikies...how did Santa get this downstairs.
We love Christmas.
French toast anyone?
It's not too often that the kids get to hang out with both set of grandparents.

November 2007

Kevin is pretty depressed that the football season is almost over. Hopefully the cougars can win out and beat the Utes!
Nathan attacked Carson and Jackson with some of Mom's extra scrap booking stickers. Silly little boys!
Jackson loves cruising around in his walker. He discovered the wonderful taste of dirt the other day.
Poor little man. Nathan took a dive off of our neighbors couch and did a face place on something. However, even a fat lip doesn't slow Nathan down.Carson and Nathan with their cousin Sidney from Colorado. Thanksgiving rocks when you have a Grandma who teaches first grade and has an extensive knowledge of arts and crafts. The kids love their turkey hats.

Halloween

Marilyn Monroe had a sexy surfer dude husband and three "scary" spider man boys :-)
Everyone thought Kevin was Owen Wilson. Maybe we should have just gone along with that idea.
These costumes were very well used this year. I think they've worn them everyday for the past month. Usually all the boys in the neighborhood had their costumes on and all of them would be out riding their bikes. I've already had to do some sewing repairs, and as you can see in this picture, Nathan needs a little seam fixed in the middle section.
Jackson is so eager to be like his brothers. I know its only months away before he's wrestling on the floor with his brothers so I need to enjoy and soak up these baby stages as much as possible.
All ready for trick or treaters!!!

Happy Halloween

Disneyland cont.

Its a small world after all. How is it that this ride can be so annoying and so fun at the same time. I still have the theme song running in my mind constantly.
Carson practically hyperventilated when he saw all the suckers. It was like a dream come true licking a huge, sticky, very messy sucker.

This was the lady bug ride that spins you around in circles so fast, that one should not have a full belly before riding it.

Disneyland

It took us long enough, but we finally made it to Disneyland. We traveled with Kevin's parents and sister and her family and had a ball. The boys are at the perfect age where all the characters are pretty cool and Nathan barely made the height cut off of 40 inches. We spent three days at both Disneyland and California adventure and rode all the little kid rides you could possibly think of. Some of them more than once like Buzz light year and Monster's Inc. Since the boys did so well on those we thought we would try out Space Mountain....BIG mistake. Although they survived the ride, Carson and Nathan never want to ride it again. We'll see about that :-)
The whole time Carson has told me that he doesn't want to meet Mickey mouse and all the characters, just go to their house and play and ride the rides. But they warmed up pretty good to Mr. Incredible and even Mickey himself.
We got plenty of merry-go rides in!
Our favorite part at California adventure was the Bugs life park. It had so many fun things to do for little kids. We saw a 3-D movie about bugs life, and rode the Bugs bumper cars and then ofcourse they had to find the shooting water. The first day they got their clothes and shoes soaking wet so I thought I had it all figured out on day two when I brought along the pull-ups...that was until one of the workers told me they must have on shoes and a shirt....oh well.
