Happy New Year

We are still away at the Hunt cabin in Idaho some of us are enjoying the freezing weather and snow a little more than others.

Hope everyone has a good New Year!

the nativity

I told Logan to find baby Jesus and put him back in the nativity in his room. Maybe we need to spend less time at Disneyland

Christmas

Christmas came early this year. Santa decided that since we are flying to Idaho this week it probably wouldn't be a good idea to have to carry Logan and Nixon's presents back and forth. So today was Christmas. I love having children to celebrate Christmas with, it makes it so much fun. Logan played with his new train table and buzz and woody dolls all day. He refused to nap. All the excitement of Christmas caught up with him and he crashed around 5.
I've already begun taking down Christmas decorations. I want to have a clean house to come home to.

Somehow she did it

After about a month of trying to convince Kyle that we needed to get pictures taken for our Christmas card I gave up. But, I needed to get 9 month pictures of Nixon so I took the boys to Sarah Hull and she was able to get both Nixon's pictures done as well as some of the Logan and the two of them for cards. Amazing she was able to get great pictures with what she had to work with.

Nixon fell asleep on the way over, so he was one sleepy baby. My terrible two, gave her the cold shoulder and the evil eye, until he warmed up and became his crazy exploring self. Throwing rocks, climbing on fences above the water, tearing apart gates, etc. I love that she caught him in this jump. He loves looking at it too. Helping his brother up......oh no, just look at that little grin on his face, he's knocking him over.

Exploring? Nope he just pushed his brother off a rock

Breaking his finger? Actually he was trying to kiss his hand

But Nixon had enough

Sarah got some great pictures of the boys which I will share later after I figure out what I'm doing as far as Christmas......eh maybe new years cards.

Thanks Sarah I love them!

santa

Neither one of them enjoyed meeting santa. However, Logan asks to see this picture every day, numerous times.

I'm 100% sure that one of my boys deserves finding coal in his stocking on Christmas morning. Only he would enjoy throwing it at people too much, so I'm sure santa won't give him the pleasure.

Buzz

Logan simply adores Buzz and Woody. He talks about them daily. He shakes with excitement when he sees Buzz right before we get on the ride. He is serious about fighting the bad guy. He loves making gun sounds.

thanksgiving weekend

My brother and sister in law came to visit over thanksgiving. We went to the tidepools in laguna while they were here.

Nixon

Nixon loves to blink. If you blink at him he will do it back. I love to squeeze, kiss, maybe nibble on that cute face of his. He is the sweetest.

"I'm hiding"

Logan yells,"I'm hiding" several times throughout the day. He's always in the same spot. Isn't it cute?

california cousin

Yeah!! My older brother and his wife welcomed their first baby into this world last night at 11:35. Logan and Nixon are proud to say that they have a cousin in California, although they haven't met him yet, because Kaiser is strict and wouldn't let my darlings into the room. It may just be that Liam has angels watching out for him protecting him from Logan.

Shane Liam Holloway (they are going to call him Liam)
6 lbs 13 oz, 20.5 inch (he's just a little guy)
He has the darkest hair and lots of it
I'm pretty sure I will be his favorite aunt, but the poor little guy doesn't know what's in store for him with his cousin Logan. He'll have to be one tough kiddo!
