Buddies

I love, love, love that my kids are growing up with my friend's kids!

Build-A-Bear

Luke had his class field trip to Build-A-Bear. Here he is with his new little friend. He named him Houdini.

I've been watching my nephew Garrett a couple days a week and he went with us on the field trip. He's such a happy little guy!

Tyler's Birthday Party

Our nephew Tyler had his 3rd birthday party at Peter Piper and we had a really good time playing games and visiting with family. The boys LOVE their cousins!

Father/Son bonding time!

Luke and Haley.

Singing Happy Birthday to Tyler.

I think Haley likes the boys as much as they like her!

Me and my pretty little girl!

Grandparent's Day

Noah and Caleb's school had Grandparent's Day and Erin's parents were able to get some time off work to come out for it. Luke and I were able to join them for some fun and lunch. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get pictures of them with Noah, but he wrote them a really nice poem. We really appreciated them making it out!

Caleb showing off his reading skills!

Luke wanted in on the picture time too.

Storytime

We've started going to storytime on Friday nights with some of my great friends. It's been some fabulous visiting time for the Mommies and the kids have a lot of fun playing together. As a bonus, I think we have two of our boys married off! :)

Won't they make the most beautiful blond hair, blue-eyed babies?

Luke likes his ladies a little bit older than him. ;)

Disneyland

We decided to go light on the Christmas presents this year and instead take a family trip to Disneyland. We loaded up and took off on the 26th and had a great 6 days in California. It was Caleb and Luke's first time and they loved it. We all had a blast!

I thought this picture was apropos since these 3 together can certainly be explosive!

Hamming it up as usual.

I don't think I've ever seen a child enjoy cotton candy as much as Caleb.

Christmas 2009

Better late than never! The past month flew by! Luke spending that week in the hospital really threw me off my game. So much was planned for that time, that got moved to the next week or cancelled altogether. The family Christmas photo shoot never happened so we ended up using the pic from our Colorado vacation that I at the time jokingly called our Christmas card shot. Oh well, at least I got something out. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Darian had some fun taking some shots of the tree after the boys went to bed. I like this one.

All dressed and ready to head to Grandma and Grandpa's house after a relaxing Christmas morning.
