Christmas 2009

Christmas was a wonderful experience this year. Josh has gotten to a age that is so much fun to watch him eagerly anticipate Santa's coming. We spent this year with Jason's family and had so much fun as we watched Eric and Dilyn celebrate their first Christmas together. a special thank you to family and friends who gave us beautiful gifts and hope you enjoyed your celebration of Christ's birth as much as we did. We love all of you and pray for a happy 2010 year.

Eric is Six months old today!

I'm not sure exactly how it happened but Eric is six months old today. He such a pleasure to our family he weighs about 20lbs and can fit into some twelve month outfits. He can sit up on his own and roll from his back to his tummy. When he wants something he squawks at us till we get what he needs. He loves!!! food. His favorites are sweat potatoes, Carrots and peas. He loves rice cereal with milk. He loves nursing. He dose not like green beans or bananas. He loves to play catch with his big brother. The ball they use is a stuffed base ball the size of a medium size ball.
Eric's personality is really starting to come out he is very calm and happy. He loves his brother who in return adores him back. I feel so blessed to have these two boys in my life.

Josh

So I try really hard to dress my boys so they look great. Josh today had other plans. He took off the out fit I put him in and dressed himself he felt he did not have enough protection so he put on three pairs of underwear all backwards, a pair of jeans, backwards and a sweater backwards. At least he wants to dress himself now I just need to help him learn to put everything on forwards.

Santa Clause

My boys were able to visit with Santa tonight. Josh has loved Santa since he was a small baby and Eric didn't seem to to mind either he even smiled at Santa. They both were able to sit on Santa's knee and smile at him. Josh told him how good he has been this year and in return Santa gave him a hug and a toy and a bag full of sweets. I love the symbolism of Santa. I just hope my children will continue to love Santa as much as I do. Merry Christmas everyone:)

Snow!!!!!!!

Well we have had amazing amounts of snow the last couple of days and being that today was perfect conditions for making a snow man my wonderful boys did just that. They built a snow man named Roy. I love snow but I kinda hope it is gone by the time we leave for CA.

Just having fun

I was going through all of Josh's old baby clothes because Eric has out grow all his 3-6 month stuff and I found all the old Christmas clothes. Now doesn't Eric make an adorable Santa's helper?

First snow day with lots of fun

Today was the first real day to have fun in the snow its still snowing by the way. I'm not a big fan of snow but Josh is and that's whats important watching my child run and play in the snow was fun. I even threw a couple of snow balls at him that nailed him in the face and what did my big boy do? He laughed and threw one back at me. We have a little friend over today and after falling face first in the snow he decided that he had had enough but not Josh he played in it till he was freezing. The older my boy gets the more fun he is. Eric stayed in the snuggle carrier with me the whole time snug and warm. He just stared at the snow, in a couple of years he'll be able to have a snow ball fight with his brother just like I did with my brothers when I was a kid.

Christmas

We were gone Thanksgiving like we always are so we didn't get our Christmas stuff up till last Saturday and the tree we did on Sunday as a family home evening activity. It was a good thing that we did the lights on Saturday because the first snow fall of the year came Sunday with heaps of snow. Now we are ready for the beautiful Christmas season. Hope everyone else is doing good.

Look what I can do!

Eric has really been trying to sit up for a few days now and today I was able to get a picture of him he sat that way for about a minute before falling to the side.

Thanksgiving

This year our family drove over to Fresno to spend Thanksgiving with my parents and brothers. It was a lot of fun and while there we braved black Friday and went to Sears to take family pictures. It was fun and we got a couple of cute pics. We also saw Mrs. Clause she came to sing and play with the little kids. Josh loved the musical instruments she let the kids play with after our visit with Mrs. Claus we found a Carousel for Josh to play on. We also spent some time at the Fresno Temple grounds, it looks a lot like the Reno temple they also have a park right next to it where we could play Frisbee and just spend some quality time together as a family. Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday of thanks giving.

Five months

Josh our comedian and Eric our gentle giant.


I'm not really sure what happened to all the time but Eric turned five months old yesterday. My beautiful baby now weighs seventeen pounds and can almost sit up all by himself. We just love having Eric in our family he is so sweet and calm. We also love having Josh in our family, his easy going personality helps to rid our selves of life's everyday stress. Jason and I are some of the luckiest parents to have these two wonderful boys in our home.

Kjar Family Pics

Back in October we took some family pics due to the fact that there were two new additions back in June. I'm hoping to take some new pics of the Moore side this Thanksgiving. The joys of a growing family.

Jason's Birthday

Today is Jason's Birthday.
I decided to try and decorate
a cake for him I'm defiantly
not a professional but I think
it turned out okay.
I hope he likes it.
Happy Birthday Jason!

just having fun

Josh was being his usual goofy self yesterday when I was finishing up on the boys scrap books and I found a pose I just couldn't resist.

Weight loss Wednesday

what I did for exercise this week.
cardio, weight training, hiking, walking, not to mention carrying a sixteen pound four month old around. My pants are fitting better. Three weeks ago I had to squeeze my self into them now they fit perfect.
my long term goals loose 25 more ponds and fit back into my pre pregnancy size eight pants. watch what I'm eating I'm still nursing so I can't really diet but I can control how many calories I eat. For me loosing weight is doing some of the same things over and over again. I'm happy to see progress.
hope everyone else saw progress this week.

Hiking trip to Davis Lake

We finally had a free weekend so we decided to go hiking at Davis lake it was cold but a lot of fun. Josh had fun hiking up the hill all by himself. Eric spent the hole time sleeping. Here are some pictures from our trip

Smile

During Eric's Dr's visit the Dr. suggested that Eric was ready for veggies this is after Eric's first experience with green beans. His brother also tried it and reacted the same way he had when he was a baby spitting it out. He then looked at me and asked me why I was feeding nasty stuff to baby Eric.

Eric's four month check up

I just got back from the Dr.s and while I was at the Dr's office they did your regular check ups weight, height, head and just for a little recap from the last time Eric was at the Dr's for his two month check up he was at that time, for weight he was 11 lbs and 2 oz and 22 1/2 inches long his head was in the 10th percentile which at the time I thought was just funny that put him squarely in the 50th percentile for his age. today's visit changed that. Today Eric weighed 15lbs and 13oz just shy of 16lbs that put his weight in the 70th percentile he gained 2 inches which keeps him in the 50th percentile for height and this is the kicker his head is now in the 70th percentile. So now I have a chunky baby with a big head. Eric is doing very well and will now be starting veggies he mastered the spoon when he started rice cereal so Eric is a very healthy boy. Josh Started to drink the Ensure drinks to help him pick up a few pounds and get the essential nutrients that he is not getting so I hope at his next visit with the Dr. I can be pleased with his growth as well.

costumes

Did I ever mention that I love the month of October it is the start of monthly fun all the way till January for us. With birthdays, Halloween, more birthdays, Thanksgiving, more birthdays, Christmas and more birthdays. Granted the birthdays in our family never seem to stop we have a birthday in almost every month in the immediate family. Anyways I just thought I would post some of the pictures from Saturday's trick or treat fun. Josh was really excited and Eric was , well Eric was a four month old who could care less that his Mommy was putting him yet again in a funny costume, but both boys looked so cute and we did have a really fun time watching Josh trick or treat. He even was brave enough to go right up to the door of the Joker's house from Batman. He said "Trick or treat" waited for his candy then said "Thank you" and very cautiously walked away. Now that just makes a Mother proud. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did.

Josh's Prized pumpkin all lit up

My adorable pea in a pod

Josh and Eric just before we left for trick or treating.

Happy Halloween

We carved our pumpkin today and Josh loved it. I mean what boy wouldn't love to get dirty and gross on Mommy's permission? this is the out come from that fun. Eric slept the whole time and mommy took pictures and stayed away from the pumpkin guts and was is called a back seat carver to daddy. But it was a lot of fun and we look forward to trick or treating to night. I just love making memories with my boys.
I hope every one has a safe and fun Halloween to night!
