Merry Christmas!



















We hope that you all had a Wonderful Christmas with family and friends celebrating each other and the REAL reason for the Season! On Christmas Eve we went to Nana and Papa's for dinner. We had one of the traditional meals (hot beef sandwiches) that my grandma made when I was younger. The kids opened their first gifts of Christmas and then we all went to church. After we got home we opened gifts from our friends from WI. Patrick was determined to wear his Packer "uniform" to bed. I talked him into wearing it on Christmas Day instead. On Christmas Day everyone came to our house where we opened the rest of our gifts and had a prime rib dinner. The boys were able to open their stockings right away when they got up. Patrick also got a 3-in-1 table which wasn't wrapped so he knew about that when he walked out of his room. Needless to say he was just a little excited when he came downstairs. Patrick received the Diego Mobile Rescue Unit which pleased him immensely. This was the main thing he asked Santa for and Santa remembered! Aaron enjoyed his first Christmas. It was so neat to see him experience things for the first time. The Jumparoo was a big hit! Patrick enjoyed himself and really got into the spirit of Christmas. In fact, he went to bed better than he EVER has on Christmas Eve as he claimed to hear bells. After informing him that Santa wouldn't stop if he wasn't in bed asleep, he raced to his room and didn't even really want to be tucked in or anything. We are truly blessed with great friends and wonderful family!

Bathtime Fun!






Aaron received a tubside bathseat as a gift from our neighbors. We decided to give it a try as he was trying to roll out of his little tub. He is having a GREAT time in the seat. What fun to splash in the water!




Flag Football ~ Fall 2007







Patrick decided to try his hand at flag football this season. He was on the Chiefs. Coach Larry did an awesome job with the boys. There were ten of them on the team. They were all 3-4 years old. They actually WON first place in the division. They do not play in the tournament at this level and there isn't a team trophy, but they had the best record. It was a lot of fun. Patrick was starting to get the hang of it. Some of his biggest problems were not running through and playing with his mouth guard. The boys seemed to spend more time chewing on them than having them in their mouths protecting their teeth.


Patrick will be playing again in the winter season, but unfortunately will not get to play for Larry as Larry moved up. Maybe next time around.

Seven Months






Aaron has reached the 7 month mark. He seems SO much bigger than Patrick was at this age. He's pushing 18lbs. (Patrick was like 13-14 pounds) He's so much fun right now. I'd love to freeze him at this stage. He's very interested in his surroundings. He is sitting for small amounts of time before toppling over. He prefers to stand over sitting and will take a couple steps while holding onto someone else's hands. He reaches his hands out/up when he wants to be picked up. His smiles are awesome! We are truly blessed.

A few more Halloween Photos

They boys received stuffed ghosts from Build-a-Bear as their Halloween gift from us. The ghosts' eyes and hearts glow in the dark and the cape and boxers glow as well. They were too cute so they each got one. Patrick's is Casper and Aaron's is Boo. They both seemed to like them a lot and they had to ride in the car with us all afternoon and evening.

After all our fun trick~or~treating, Patrick was still determined that we needed to head to Nana and Papa's so he could show them his costume. We arrived a little after 9pm and the boys received cards and gifts from Nana, Papa, and Dobby. We ended up arriving home a little after 11pm. It was a LONG, but FUN day! Aaron's first Halloween was an adventure!



Happy First Halloween Baby Yoda!

Trick~or~Treat

We spent Halloween evening trick or treating with the Terwilliger family. (Dave, Erika, Evan, and Reagan) Patrick and Evan attend San Tan together. We met them about 5:40pm at Evan's Grandma and Papa's house. They go all out with decorating. Danny dresses up to hand out candy and plays spooky music. The kids were very intrigued with all the decorations. We went around their neighborhood for at least 1 1/2 hours. The kids sure seemed to have a good time. They received lots of candy and were rather tired toward the end. When we got back to the house they had to sample a few pieces of candy. Then the boys decided they should run around in their underwear, even outside! We finally were all buckled into the car by about 8:40. It sure was a fun time and I am thankful we were able to join them. It made the night better for us all! So thanks to the Terwilliger family and to Mary and Danny! We sure had a good time.
