Gordon 18 months old

My parents came to visit during Christmas and we had th best time with them. My sweet dad played more soccer with Gordon than you can imagine. Our amazing next door neighbors bought this soccer goal and cones for Gordon for Christmas, super nice!

Action shot of my dad and Gordon playing just one of many games out on the street.

Gordon fell asleep on my lap the other day and I couldn't have been more happy. I just love this little guy more and more every day!

Eventhough Eric has high hopes that Gordon will be an Orthodontist someday, as of right now Gordon's heart is set on cleaning and plumbing.

Check out this cake my room mom made me for Christmas, she is so talented!

Eric playing games

In the 7 1/2 years Eric and I have been married I have rarely seen him surprised. However, this Christmas I got him an Xbox Kinect and saw Eric totally surprised. Now getting this for him is completely out of my character except that I got a screaming good deal on it (which is in line with my character). Eric, his family, and I have had lots of fun playing the last week.

Christmas Boo

It is just amazing to watch how fast our little boy is growing. It seems like just yesterday we were bring him home from the hospital. It was pretty funny, last Saturday we had our Christmas party at church. Santa made an appearance and well Gordon decided that he wasn't going to have anything to do with Santa. So, Eric being the amazing dad that he is hopped on Santa's lap to show Gordon how it was done. Eric thinks he injured Santa and Gordon still clung to Eric and didn't think this was very much fun.

We also headed to the temple a few weeks ago in hopes that all of the Christmas lights would be up, turns out we went a weekend to early, we still had a lovely time. We did end up making it back down to the temple to check out the lights last weekend and they were beautiful.

Soccer Boo

Over Thanksgiving, "Aunt Shannon" let Gordon come over to her soccer facility and play some soccer. Gordon was happy as a clam. Their soccer session even ended with some bubbles, what could be better?!? Thank you Aunt Shannon! Can't wait until next time!

Oma visits

Oma had a meeting in town about a month ago and Gordon got a hold of her pants... look out! Gordon had more fun running around and stretching those pants out! It was pretty funny! Oma was a great sport!

Gordon and Eli

Adam and Emily, 2 of our friends have and adorable son named Eli who Gordon just loves. A few weeks ago we were at to mall and ran into them. Gordon and Eli had a blast in the pet store and riding the cars together. Thank goodness for buddies!

Christmas a year ago

I was just looking back through our pictures tonight and came across these Christmas pictures from last year. I seriously can't believe Gordon is already 18 months old. Many of the cute old ladies at church approach me and tell me to just enjoy every second because it goes so fast. It really does, I feel guilty some nights when I'm just counting the seconds before Gordon goes to bed because I am just so exhausted. However, I look back on these pictures and it feels like this was just yesterday. How I love my little family more than anything!

Thanksgiving

We headed up to Northern California to visit our families for Thanksgiving. We had a lovely time with them all and went over to my amazing aunt and uncle's house the day of Thanksgiving. This adorable sweater is a creation my aunt Kristin knitted for Gordon, so cute! I had the best time enjoying all of the beautiful fall colors that surrounded up. Eric was constantly being ordered to pull the car over so that I could take pictures of the trees - I do love fall!

Gordon, Eric, Me, Mom, Dad, Crystal & Justin
