Happy 2010!

My Christmas fruit tray, yum!

We got a video camera for Christmas. Thanks Grandma and Papa!
At the Omaha Zoo celebrating New Years at noon. It was a good time. They had a big pinata type lion head they dropped at noon and a bunch of beach balls. Quite a celebration.
Bringing in the New Year at Zulu time(well we tried, but I think we just did it when we got the kids all together). The boys had a blast playing and making noise.

bath time with 2

We finally got all the wallpaper stripped and the room painted. P is no longer sleeping in a pack and play. yea!
This was their first time taking a bath together; what a laugh! S thought it was fun to splash P, and P seemed to like it just as much.

Does life get any better than this... pure joy!
Check out the snow drift out our back door. Does this count as snowed in?

Snow Day!

Shoveling the driveway. I'm pretty sure we won't be having as much fun with it after a few more times.
S helping daddy shovel.
Having a hike in the backyard.
Snow angel time!
smiling in the snow. :)

P is taking a nap. Maybe he'll make the next pictures.

What's Exciting at Our House

Cutie Pie Pac-Man posing for the camera.
Ringing the bell at the Durham Museum. Lots of neat trains to look at and play on. We went for the annual tree lighting ceremony.
Nap time at our house has gotten a little more exciting with S in his new big boy bed.... toys everywhere, lights on, and a sleeping "monster" on the floor. He's averaging about 2 naps a week; the rest of the days end up just being play in his room time.
It's snot-rocket time! Not sure how well this picture captures the moment. But every time he sneezes, the snot shoots down to at least his chin. Poor guy. Hopefully his cold clears up soon.

Toys for Tots Race Day

Here's the Pac-Man giving big smiles under a big pile of blankets... it was cold!
S running in his first race... He was the smallest one out there. It was a 100 yard dash. He ran the whole way though he was a little nervous about that big dog running behind him.
Checking out the big dog.
Our happy little baby.
Talking to grandma on the computer.

Redecorating the porch for me.

snow before pumpkin decorating!

We haven't had our computer the last week due to it being fixed. It's all better now!

You may have noticed on the news a few weeks ago that it snowed here in Omaha... the snow pictures are from Oct. 10. You can imagine our surprise to open the windows that Saturday morning and see a winter wonderland! I had no idea it could snow that early in the year.
S loved it. Here he is learning how to do snow angels.P loves to give the big smiles! And he loves his daddy!

Here is a video of S painting his first pumpkin...

And here he is eating some birthday cake leftover from the neighbors birthday party... and P has found his feet!


Also, these will be our last videos for awhile... we left our camera in a too convenient location, and S broke it... good thing it's almost time for Christmas presents!

Happy Fall

Our boys had their first trip to the pumpkin patch this past weekend. Sammy liked the really really big ones. I think we'll be painting the pumpkins this year instead of cutting... that just sounds a little too dangerous to do with a 2 year old.
One last picture before we loaded up into the car... I think the boys were done taking pictures.
Sammy's first picture, and the only one he wanted to smile for. I've been looking forward to fall ever since we moved to Guam. Buying a pumpkin in Guam just didn't seem normal since it was hot outside and all the trees were still green... we're going full out with the fall fun: pumpkins, apple cider, chili... it's great!
