Hollis ready for his first day of school with brother

John Houston loves the swings at the track and thought he was so big.

Train ride at the track when we went to the beach with some friends. I don't think I got one picture at the beach. Needless to say we were busy but had a great time with good friends.

Curious George or Bruiser as we call him. Can we say into everything!

Just because

Arizona

We headed to the National Championship Game with Zach's Family. Luckily we got out before the big snow! We had a quick trip but enjoyed it very much. It was the first time we left both of the boys but I knew they were in good hands. Thanks to mom and dad for keeping them.

Christmas Time

Hollis at his school Christmas Party 

Hollis and all the kids were sitting on the rug and he was saying hey hey to his friends  that 's my mom. She brought the santa plates. It made my day to be there.

Fun opening presents

 Christmas Day was beautiful we  woke up to snow covering the ground. Hollis could not beleive Santa did not stay around to play that morning.

Hollis loved the scooter he got from Santa

JH's 1st Christmas. I did not take many pictures because this was his first bad cold and I was taking care of him lots.

Sister

No we are not having another baby now and I expect I will only have a house full of boys which is fine with me but........my sister is expecting come July. I am so excited for her and Branson and know they will be great parents because they are so good with my boys.

This is her holding John Houston at the hospital.

The Holiday Season

Christmas time is so fun but busy too. It is even more fun with kiddos. Hollis calls candy canes, " candy trees". The other day I told him I saw a deer outside while he was napping, he asked if hoho was there too?

John Houston is ready for Christmas too. He weighed 14lbs and 2 oz at his last check up. He is a really good boy. We are still waiting for him to surprise us and sleep all through the night.



Play date with his buddy Sam


Christmas cookie decorating party at Izzie s house.



The big kids, our gang keeps growing and growing.



Ladies night out: my sis, Kellye, mom, Lyla, and me
We all went to dinner and then to the symphony with Martina McBride. I think this needs to be a new tradition in the family.


And of course Christmas Pajamas! And some red eyes too.
