Toys are for eating too right Mom?

Christmas Eve pictures.......

Such an evil look.......Nicholas swears he only stole a couple of bites from Santa's cookies :)

The boys enjoying their new drum set......

Nicholas really enjoyed opening presents this year.....if it didn't look like a toy though, he tossed it to the side!

Mom......these M&M's rock!!!

Shopping for a Christmas tree......

This one is atleast shaped like a tree.....

What about this one Dad??

Such a tough choice..........

The boys enjoying a movie on the way home ......

A trip to Pro Bass Shop o kick off the holiday season....

Our new tradition since having kids is to head to Pro Bass Shop to kick off the holiday season. They set up all kinds of activities for the kids and even have free pictures with Santa! No sooner did we arrive home from Mexico than did we pack up the kids to enjoy the festivities.

Jason enjoying his first candy cane....... Yum!

Nicholas thought Santa looked great.....from a distance

Hanging out by the turtle pond......

Nicholas says all he wants for Christmas is a 4-wheeler....better talk to Uncle Jack :)

Videos from Mexico.....

These 'monkeys' were everywhere!!!




I was completely against this but Auntie convinced me this 'monkey' was very gentle.......



I call them Happy Feet Jason and Rock Star Nicholas.............

Jason's 1 Year checkup...

Jason did great at his one year check up - he barely even cried for his four shots AND finger prick! Such a trooper. Here are his stats from the checkup:


weight = 26 lbs 1 oz (85th percentile)
height = 32 1/2 " (99th percentile!!!)

Our trip to Mexico!

Our trip to Mexico was a great success! We had a great time and so did the kids. We stayed at the Iberostar Lindo and abslutely loved it. We will definitely be back!!

Here's Jason riding the bull..........

Nicholas posing..........

The view from our room.... we ended up with two adjoining rooms right on the first floor which was perfect for us! We could wheel the stroller right in and it was great for the person stuck in the room during nap times.... they could just yell over to the others sitting by the pool for another pina colada :)

Family photo.........

Daddy and Nicholas giving the big elbow.......

Nicholas and Jason dancing on stage at the kids show......

Nicholas at the waterpark............

Hard to tell that water was actually freezing!

Mommy finally gave in and let Nicholas actually feed the 'monkeys'........

Both kids on the beach............ Nicholas is so brave! Maybe he finally will enjoy the ocean soon too......

Here Mom, have some sand..........

Mommy....... can you believe I actually have my feet in the sand ???

Playing catch with Dad.... times 2 :)

We called them monkeys but they are actually kaotis..........everyone had a blast feeding them!
