Stock Show

We took Mikey to the ground at the stock show. He's really been into trains (choo choos) lately so we wanted to see if he'd try riding on a train without mom and dad.

It started out so well. I was impressed by how he sat with kids he didn't know.

Then it went down hill when the train operator put the seat belt on the kids. For some reason he didn't like that and started to freak out. I always wish I had pictures of these moments but my mom instincts kick in and I wanted to jump the fence and grab him. Oh well, maybe next year.

Snow Days

I had wished for just a little snow around Christmas. Careful what you wish for. We've had plenty of snow since.

Getting his first taste of being in the snow

Father and son picture. Always a must!

There's a picture of me and Adrian like this when we were kids and I always wanted to have one of my kids the same way. Sitting in the snow!

Mikey really is a great helper

Christmas 2010

And now for the all important Christmas post. Mikey was so fun this year. I got a secret Santa present that I let Mikey open early with me and I told him it was a surprise. It really stuck with him because now anything with a bow is a "prise".

Mikey and his fave buddy Carmen.

All the grandkids except for Shayla and our new lil addition coming soon!

Cheese!

This was the cutest present

Mikey woke up the next morning to find all the things Santa left.

Of course Mikey seemed more interested in Carmen's toys

Modeling his new underwear. Hopefully we will be using these very soon.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Visit with Santa!

We joined dozens of other families to wait in line with our beloved child in order to see Santa. The sign said 90 minute wait, I couldn't believe it. I was right, it wasn't 90 minutes. It was three hours! Santa had to work in a break. Mikey did great last year with Santa but I was sure he would scream this year. Mommy was right. Do I know my son or do I know my son?




Amazed with the falling snow





Last few moments before meeting the big guy. I didn't take a picture because I was prepared to be on stand by in case he wanted his mommy. That and I was laughing too hard. I can't take pictures with tears in my eyes.

No words!

I have no words for this picture. Yes, it's super cute but I'm very glad to soon be adding another girl to this all boys club. Then we'll take pics in our matching dresses!

Par-tay!

We were invited to a friends birthday party and excitedly got ready and went! Anything for a chance to let the kids blow off some steam!

Outfit by dad!

Father/son picture!

Nathan getting down!

Isaiah just wanted his daddy to hold him.

Mikey never wanted to stop dancing!

Disney on Ice

Mikey is a big fan of Disney (which makes this mommy very happy) so when I heard Disney on Ice was coming to town, I knew we had to take him.

We weren't sure how he'd sit being that he always has "ants in his pants"and doesn't do well with sitting for too long. Armed with a ton of snacks, we took our chances.

With just a few shifts between mommy and daddy, this is how he sat the entire time! Success!
