Happy New Year!

We had a VERY low key New Year's this year. You can't really do much at 7 1/2 months pregnant on light bed rest-lol! Luckily last minute The Stillman's came over so that was nice especially for Trey to have someone to run around with! Presley and Trey broke in all the new toys.

Snuggling on the couch!
Of course Trey had to give Presley new babies! (I bet they were her 1st ones with a tan-lol)

Christmas Day!!!!

Well we had quite the day planned out for Christmas this year! It started out in the morning with "Just the 3 of Us" which was sooo fun! This year Santa brought you a JUNGLE GYM for the backyard so you can climb your little heart out! We couldn't wait to see your expression when we took you out to see it! Also this year once we showed you what to do with one gift you got the hang of it and went after EVERYTHING for awhile but after awhile you kind of were over the whole opening thing! After we had our breakfast we headed to MiMi & PaPa's house where the gifts just kept coming!! You are one lucky little boy--you even made out with your own Lazy Boy Chair! Then we headed over to GiGi & Poppy's house! Again I think you had more gifts under GiGi's tree than anyone else! (This only grandchild thing on both sides is a bit out of hand) She even wrapped all yours in ELMO paper! I dont think anyone believes in helping get your wardrobe for the next season because you got more toys than I know what to do with! We are so blessed and can't wait to explain to you the TRUE meaning of this day.

Zoo Lights!

So Kristin & I decided to take the kids to Zoo Lights tonight... The boys were working and we thought what the heck... It was probably the busiest night they have lol we soon found out as we got there, but besides that it was fun! Poor Kristin had to wear her baby in the carrier and pull Trey & Presley in the wagon just so I would not have contractions walking around the park. (I am starting to get them pretty much doing anything now) The kids did great never getting out of the wagon once--lets be honest I can't chase them around anymore and Kristin had a 6 week old in a sling so that wouldn't work either so I really don't know what we would have done if there was a tantrum to get out-lol...

My sweet boy!

Today we took GiGi and went to visit Uncle Arie & Aunt Shayla out at the farm! I knew you would love it out there its just a little far so we had to plan for it when Shayla was on winter break! Uncle Arie has soooooooo many cows--just under 10,000 to be exact. You got to play on his all his big boy toys! Then we drove around the dairy looking at the cows as they ate, but the best part was going in where all the baby calfs were!!! You LOVED this!!!!

This calf would not leave him alone--it was quite funny (same cow in video @ bottom)

All the Smith's!

Here are the pics from The Smith's 2009 Family photo session! They had tons of snow brought in to the front of their house to make it REALLY feel like winter!!!!!

Santa Baby!

Obviously he LOVED him...
So we visited Santa this year at the North Pole! It made quite the extra ambiance to have snow outside and to have just got off The Polar Express!

Polar Express!

This year we took you to up to Williams, AZ for The Polar Express! I have been looking forward to starting our own family's traditions and this for sure will be one of them! It was so nice getting away for 1 night and such a great way to start the Christmas Season! It was FREEZING--I am talking 25* and expecting 2 feet of snow, but very worth it! We listened to the story on the train, ate cookies that Mrs. Claus made, drank the sweetest hot cocoa, and sang Christmas carols which you loved! It was so cute to see you and all the kids in their Christmas Pajamas!

I'll take a QUEEN!

Well last night was the 1st night we put you in your big boy QUEEN size bed! You had been napping in it for about 2 months now, but we were holding off til the frame came in to start you on the night time routine. We have had the frame 1 week now but were out of town and you have been sick so I waited to see what you would do--You did GREAT! You slept the whole night in it and went down great. We were so proud of you this morning!

Trey's 15 Month/Family Photo Shoot

We had these pictures done at the end of October and I have been dying to put them on the blog because I LOVE them--but I waited til our Christmas cards went out first!!! I think the pictures capture Trey's personality PERFECTLY! Our AMAZING photographer Jackie Lindfors did these--her link is to the right of the blog... Sorry it is kind of long I couldn't decide what to share...
