December Memories

We had a great big storm during Thanksgiving and Josh built a igloo out back at Mark and Karen's. He actually slept in one night...crazy boy!
Nixon and Jon went inside and played in the snow. They had so much fun!
cute Nixon in the igloo.

"Cheese"

The opening is so small. I was laughing so hard and I had to take a picture of Jon trying to get out!

Nixon on top of the igloo.

Me and Nixon.

We went out back and cut down a tree for Christmas, a 'charlie brown tree' if you will:)

Nixon was so excited to see the tree fall.

My cute husband with his tree.

Nixon with his Papa.

Jon slicked Nixon's hair back and it was so cute...although it only stayed that way for a few minutes as usual.

Nixon and Sadie in their Christmas pja's.

Sadie wasn't too excited about the whole thing I don't think, I couldn't get her to smile once. Gotta love digital though right?!

Nana sent us a Christmas package, we were super excited.

This snowman sings every time you pass by it. .. it use to be at Nana's house but she sent it to us...LUCKY;)

It was like having Christmas early. Nixon loves to open the wrapping paper, it makes me excited for Christmas day this year:)

Sadie having some tummy time...so cute she looks so sleepy!

This is my favorite outfit, isn't she the cutest. She actually looks so much like Nixon when he was a baby.

There's that smile!

There's those baby legs...my favorite thing. LOVE THEM!!!

Me with my adorable girl.

Me and my handsome boy.

So back to the tree....it ended up being bigger and a little bit more 'challenging' than we thought outside than inside. We brought it downstairs and it smelled so good!

Jon put some lights on it!

And we decorated that huge weird tree....

We had to chop off some off the top to get the start to stick:)

Nixon and I decorating with ornaments.

We only put the fun ornaments on this year. Nixon thought it was fun to put them on AND off.

Sadie was watching us decorated.

What a cutie pie.

Nixon loves his table and chair in his room I always find him just like this, playing quietly in his room. I love it.

His attempt at "cheese"

I made Nixon a vest and Sadie a dress that have a matching pattern. I wanted to get pictures of them together before Sadie grew out of hers.

They really turned out cute!

These are my beautiful flowers that Katie gave me after our dance recital.

Nixon and Jon wrestling of course, their favorite time together.

Having fun with Cousins!

Josh had to go home soon after Thanksgiving but Jessy and Will were able to stay a little longer and we had some fun cousin time together. Will and Garret came over and played with Nixon, which went ok at first...until Nixon hit Will with a toy and gave him a bloody nose. Sorry Will, one day these boys will be best friends.
My trouble maker.

Garret, the one boy Nixon can NOT get along with... it is amazing how much they dislike each other right now. It is so strange.

Will loved playing with the dogs, Nixon found this to be his time to be extra protective of his dogs and held on tight to Gauge.

Cute Sadie!

Jon took this picture of me one morning while I was holding Sadie and returning emails...how motherly of me...lol

Nixon and Jon dancing in the kitchen. They are adorable. I love how Nixon follows Jon in all his moves!

My crazy boys!

They really do love each other, they are two big kids all the time!

My cute kids! Nixon wants to hold Sadie all the time and every time you place her in his arms he says "take a picture." Thus I get these random pictures of Nixon and Sadie.
Then of course he only lasts a few seconds after I put the camera down and he wants to let go of Sadie and take pic's of just him.

He loves the camera.

Nixon also loves the crib with Sadie. He is an adorable big brother.

Sadie's cute foot prints from the hospital hang in her room.

My sister and I did her hand print...made me respect those ladies at the hospital...how do they keep these babies so still for the good prints????

Me and my girl.

Mama with her two cute kids.

Nixon being silly.

The dogs like to lay on Nixon's bed when we are in there playing together. They find it nice and warm. Nixon thinks it's an invitation to "slam" them on his bed. Poor dogs!

Nixon and Gauge have a very special relationship. Pretty much Nixon runs the show and poor Gauge will take whatever he does to him.

Nixon and Gauge.

Gauge looks at us with those "what are you doing to me" look.

I laid down on Nixon's floor one night and the dogs of course think it's a time to snuggle, Nixon thought it looked like a good idea.

Silly, Silly moments at the Spear house!

Back over at Grammy's Jessy plays with the boys and makes them go on a bumpy ride.

They loved it.

Then the horse rides began.

Jessy and Will.

They took turns running down the hall too, they boys have unlimited energy.

Here they come, the stampede.

Later Nixon and Will watch a movie in Grammy's room, we were trying to settle them down, crazy monkey's.

Bad pic of Sadie, but still cute.
