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.
