Christmas Day 2010

After we get up and get going on Christmas Day, we usually go to Honey and Pappa's house for the day. We changed it up a little this year - we still went to Honey and Pappa's house but then went on to Gigi and Mike's house for dinner.

The boys got lots of great gifts and enjoyed hanging out with their cousins as well. I've included more pictures of the days events below. Enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We look forward to this next year and what all it has in store for our family. Thank you for reading our fun adventures! Until Next year....we'll keep you posted!

Christmas Morning 2010

We let Jax sleep in our bed Christmas Eve and Jake has never left our room so we started our morning around 7am. I woke Jax up....he still doesn't completely get it and is currently scared of everything "I scared" are the exact words we here very often. So Santa is still not his favorite. Once he realized there were toys involved, he was very excited "oh boy"

Jax got a train table, some toy story stuff, thomas the train stuff, clothes, big boy underwear and some candy in his stocking. He is still enjoying his toys....and occasionally as you will see in the picture, Jake's toys too.

Jake got a lot of v-tech stuff that he is truly enjoying. He's also in the middle of learning to crawl. He is doing great and is such a happy child!

Enjoy the pictures

Christmas Eve 2010

Every year, we go to Grandma Jackson's for Christmas Eve dinner and presents with Jeremy's dad's side of the family. I realized that I was a bit partial in my picture taking this year and I apologize to all our families.....it seems that I only took pictures of my boys....but darn they are cute - you can't blame me :) We are so thankful for all of our families and enjoy them all. We had a great time at Grandma Jackson's this year as always and the boys racked up with the gifts. Here are a few pictures! On a side note, this is the beginning of our terrible 2/3's. Jax doesn't like having his picture taken so you will see few smiles but I promise he is a happy child and loves his new toys! Thankfully, my other child likes the camera at the moment and also enjoyed the tissue paper and stuffed animals.

Christmas Trains 2010

Every year, Jeremy and I like to go to the Galleria before Christmas. This year we tried Northpark and then went to the Galleria when we were disappointed in the northpark santa. We did stay at Northpark long enough to go through the train exhibit. Jax is really into trains this year. We enjoyed the exhibit and got a few pictures at Northpark and the Galleria. The boys saw Santa at the Galleria and did ok. Jax isn't fond of Santa so we tried prepping him before he got to him. He walked right up to him and said "Santa - thomas the train stuff" as Santa reached down to pick him up he began crying but got his picture made with his brother anyways. It actually turned out pretty cute. Enjoy the pictures

Boys in the house

After I took this first pictures, I realized that I am truly outnumbered.....Its ok though because without me, none of them would be sleeping this peacefully :) I thought this was so cute so I had to show everyone.

Sorry I haven't been so great about posting lately. Its been very busy in my house. Jake has had 3 ear infections in a row, Jeremy's truck was messed with and we are also looking into whether or not Jake needs to wear a helmet for a few months because his head isn't as round as it should be. We are holding it together and getting through day by day with many doctor appointments. So here are a couple of pictures of the boys lately. Enjoy and keep us in your prayers.

I love bath pictures. They are so fun at this stage. I'm sure you will see plenty more

Getting ready for Christmas

As usual, Jeremy likes to get everything out for Christmas as soon as Thanksgiving is over. So here we are again....love this time of year! I think Jax has already watched Polar Express about a dozen times. Jake enjoys the music and lights and Jax is right in the middle of all the fun as well. We look forward to a fun Christmas with the boys. Enjoy the pictures

Stranded!

Thought I would let ya'll in on what's been going on with us this week. First week of December...usually people are getting ready for Christmas. We on the other hand are dealing wtih insurance and discount tire and having only one car....fun week.

Jeremy woke up Monday morning and discovered his truck on blocks in our driveway. Someone came up into our driveway in the middle of the night and took his tires and wheels and....well, everything. Thank Goodness our insurance covered it but its been a pain to deal with. One car for a family of 4 does not work. We should have our replacements by Monday but until then....fun for us.

Bubba

Here are a few random pictures from the last few weeks. Now that Jake is sitting up and playing more, Jax is really playing with him. Its so cute to see them together and being sweet....so far!

Jake is now taking baths with Jax....so much easier and fun. Another picture shows Jax with Jake in his bed. For some odd reason, Jax likes to get in the bed with Jake and play. I also put a picture of Jax in here on one of his dress up days at mother's day out - it was farmer day. The other picture is of Jake and me. He's a major mama's boy. He's already saying ma ma ma and he knows when to use it correctly. Gotta love it.

Enjoy our pictures!

Halloween 2010

We had a great halloween this year. As usual, we went over to my sister's house to trick or treat with her boys. Jax was Woody and Jake was Buz from Toy Story. This was Jax's first year to truly get halloween and the whole trick or treating thing. Jeremy even took the video camera along. Jax did great.....very soft spoken and said thank you to everyone.....so sweet! Here are the pictures I took. A few of them are also from Jax's dress up day at mother's day out. Enjoy!

Pumpkins at the Arboretum

For the last 3 years, we have gone to the Arboretum with Wanissa and Cooper in October. This year, we add Ryleigh and Jake. The boys had so much fun playing with the pumpkins, petting animals and running around the gardens. We got some great pictures of them before we had to leave early due to Jake getting an allergic reaction to amoxicillan....gotta love it. Everyone is healthy now and doing great. Enjoy the pictures!
