Christmas 2008

Okay, so I know I am a little behind on getting the pictures posted. Between a sore throat and head cold and the stomach flu I have had it and probably given it to everyone in my house. But, anyway we had a great christmas. The boys got way to many toys, imagine that. We are now trying to find room for everything.

Santa Clause came to see the boys on Christmas Eve and make sure that they were going to go to bed early. Beckett didn't want anything to do with him, but Brody once again told him everything that he wanted him to bring.
These were from Christmas morning. Brody informed me that he didn't get the right truck. Oops! He just said he wanted a lot of toys he never specified what he wanted so maybe "Santa" will have better luck next year.

These pictures were from Christmas Eve. We opened gifts with my parents and Toby's parents. We knew that the boys were going to get so many things we wanted to break it up a little bit so they were not opening everything all in one day.

Jump n Play

I took the boys to the Jump n Play in Avon Thursday with Tony, Meredith, Turner and Berkeley. The boys had so much fun. I highly recommend this place for any one that has young kids. Since we went during the week it wasn't busy at all and the kids really got to enjoy everything.Turner and Brody climbing up the big slide and then sliding down it together. I am so glad their is someone his age that he really enjoys to play with.

Beckett wasn't so sure about everything at first because he normally does not like these things but the first time I took him down the big slide then he couldn't stop going we eventually sent him down by himself and he thought that was so funny.

Here Comes Santa Clause

This first picture is one of many that I took trying to get a good picture for our christmas cards. This was Brody's smile for every picture.I took the boys to the clubhouse to see Santa with Jason, Kristin, Conner, Joni, Harrison, David and Madelyn. Toby had to work late so he wasn't able to go. Santa was brought in on a firetruck which Brody thought was really cool. It was so cold outside that luckily we got there at the right time to see Santa light the tree and see some fireworks. We all then went inside to see if the kids were going to sit on Santa's lap without crying. Like Beckett did the first time.

Beckett did much better this time around. You can tell how interested they were to see him, but once Santa started talking to them they got into it.

Here is my picture of all the kids, it might be a little better than Kristin's, but I don't think we will every get a good one. Those boys can't sit still long enough to get there picture taken.

I think we are now officially ready for Santa to come. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Catching Up!

I am trying to finally catch up on some pictures. For those that don't know we are having another baby. I am 14 weeks pregnant and finally starting to feel better. I didn't think it was ever going to go away, so everything has been a little (okay a lot) neglected so I am finally trying to catch up. We had a great Thanksgiving but forgot the camera so I have no pictures, I guess my head is not where it should be.

We took the boys to go see Santa Clause because Brody couldn't stop talking about it. I new he would do fine but was not sure about Beckett. As you can tell by the picture he didn't want to get to close. He was fine when we weren't trying to sit him on Santa's lap but we had to get a picture anyway. The picture above is Brody right before he told Santa EVERYTHING he wanted for Christmas and was asking were is reindeer were.

This is what Toby's evenings usually consist of. We still have a biter so we are trying to break that. Poor Brody gets most of them, but usually deserved.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a happy halloween. The boys had a lot of fun this year. I think they were more interested in eating the candy than going to peoples houses. We were glad to get all the kids together and try to get all their pictures. As you can see Beckett was Elvis and Brody was a elephant.

Playing at the Park & Pumpkin Patch

Here are a couple pictures playing at the park. They had so much fun playing with Conner and Harrison.
We went to the pumpkin patch in Danville Saturday afternoon and let the boys pick out their own pumpkins. As you can see Brody must be colored blind because he wanted the green pumpkin. Beckett got a little help from daddy picking just the right one.

NYC Trip

Toby and I went to New York City for our 5 year anniversary last weekend. It was the first time either one of us had been there so we really didn't know what to expect. At first all the people and the big buildings were quite intimidating but once we started walking we saw so many things.

Here is RockefellerCenter. They said they were going to be getting ready for the ice skating rink. Here is Toby drinking the best drink, frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity 3.
The World Trade Center site.

Katie Holmes coming out of her Broadway show!

The empire state building is the one with the blue lights. The one with us in the carriage was how we got around central park. I can't believe we payed someone to pull us in that with his bicycle. The last picture is the view of Manhatten from Brooklyn.
