Dinner at Nana's

We got together at Nana's house Monday for dinner. Here are a few pictures of the kids playing and Liam taking it all in!

Liam is 9 weeks old already! He is sleeping 6-7 hours between night feedings now!

Saturday at the Pool

We went with Charlotte, Liam, Griffin, and Piper to the indoor water park on Saturday. Emily and Piper were bathing beauties in their cute suits. Here are a few pictures our them in the tube for the lazy river. We found it was a good way to corral them into one spot. Look at Emily's hair.....it is really starting to come in curly!

Happy Birthday Tyler

We had cake and dinner for Tyler's birthday last week. I suprised him with a trip to Las Vegas in Febuary! Charlotte and Jack helped him make a wish and blow out his candles!

The gate is back!

Emily loves to climb up the stairs. We had put the gate away when Jackson mastered the stairs, but now it is back! She can make it all the way up on her own if we are following behind her! That's 15 stairs to get to her room!! Jackson came home from the sitter yesterday with a new outfit. He didn't want to take it off so we had dinner with Batman last night. We did manage to get him out of it for a bath. Jackson isn't such a fan of the gate since it limits his freedom as well!

Jackson loves sledding! Nana has some great hills in her backyard so we can watch from inside the house! He has been twice and the second time he wore out Uncle Tim and Daddy...they were ready to come inside and he wanted to stay outside!

Another "Rocky" pose!

Christmas at Nana's

The day after Christmas we went to Nana's house. Charlotte got a doll house from Santa so she got a lot of accessories to decorate the house. Jackson got a fire station (which Jamie calls the boy version of a doll house)!

Josh and Amanda sat back and took it all in....

Liam was such a good boy. He slept in his swing most of the afternoon.

These were two of the favorite toys the kids opened. Dan got Jack a fighter jet and Nana got Emily an elmo that talks.

Of course, Emily really liked the wrapping paper.

Nana and her two babies...

Nana and her two big kids....

Tyler bribed them with candy canes to sit on his lap!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's house

Santa came to visit at Grandma and Grandpa's house on christmas day. Emily would talk to him only if she was with mommy. Daddy told santa he has not been a very good boy this year.

Jackson cried last year...what a difference a year makes!

Look at these blue eyes!

The grandkids!

Santa brought Emily some drums that count and sing.

Jackson got another power drill!

Christmas morning!

Jackson was very excited about Santa coming to our house. Every time he would see a commercial for something he would like he would tell us that Santa was bringing him that for Christmas! He was very excited to be able to finish the cookie we laid out for Santa, too.

He got a fishing pole to use this summer at the campground.

He got a beanbag to read books on in his room. This is his "Rocky" pose.

The house looked like a toys r us by the time the wrapping paper was off!

Emily liked her little people bus and sesame street pop up toy.

Jackson's favorite toy santa brought him was a workbench with power tools so he can help daddy fix things.

Random pics

Here are some random pics of the kids Jackson loves anything dinosaur.....movies, figurines, books, or shirts!

Santa

So, many of you saw this pic on our Christmas card this year. Santa looks a little sleepy, but the kids look like they are enjoying their visit. That was until Emily got a good look at who was holding her......

Then the floodgates opened! Jackson was a big fan of santa, but Emily definitely didn't like him at all.

Emily's Likes and Dislikes

She loves her bath...even if it is in the kitchen sink!

She loves to laugh and smile!

She hates her winter coat. It is too big and bulky to move in, but it's been cold outside so she's learned to live with it.

She absolutely loves Cheerios!
