Christmas in TX

Nathan loves to be a big boy and shave like his daddy.

Place mats that Nathan and I made for preschool with a calendar that Grammy (Meme) and Papa gave us.

My fireman Nathan.

We came back for CO to our nicely restained fence. Matt's company, CIMA, did it while we were gone. I guess hail damage can be a benefit.

My big brown-eyed boy.

I asked Nathan what he was painting, and he said two tigers. I went to change Jared's diaper and come back, and he looks like this. He said that he painted himself as a red tiger.

Christmas at Nana and Grandaddy's house.

This is Nana's bear, but Jared did get one of his own teddy bears. He loves to give them hugs. It is the cutest thing.

Jared and Colin. What cute and handsome boys.

Nathan going up in the attic with his daddy. What an awesome DAD!!!

Christmas Eve and Christmas 2011

This picture is priceless. Nathan is running in from church to see what Santa left him. He is so excited that he is sprinting to the kitchen set. Also, notice the apron that Nathan has on. That is my first sewing project all by myself. They turned out really cute! Nathan is also telling Jared NO in the picture on the right.

















Daddy loves his bubble gum.



































Santa left the boys suckers, which is probably one of their favorites. Jared was quite entertained with one.





































My sweetheart.

Jared right after he saw the kitchen set.

Christmas Eve with all of the family. We missed John and Chelsea so much.

Little David (not so little anymore) reading FIX IT DUCK to Nathan.

Papa got Jared to slept before we went to church. They were enjoying the nice sun.

Fun family traditions of Christmas Eve.

Nathan was so excited to get a fire truck. Nathan makes the whewwww sound and Jared does it right along with him.

Trip to Cedaredge December 2011

Matt and Jared having Daddy time.

Nathan shouting, "Score."

The boys loved their Papa time!!

Jared loved to play in the castle
and with the vacuum.

SNOW!!! We had one day of snow, which was perfect. The boys loved to play in it. As you can see, our Mr. Nathan only has a jacket on. He is impossible to get him to wear a coat.

Nathan about ready to grab some snow and throw it at me.

Fill that dump truck!!

Jared and Nathan loved to play in the playhouse that Great Granddad built for Tanya, David, Lisa, John, and Vernice. It use to be brown and white, and then he added the blue and white metal to the outside.

Ahhhh! Nathan signing, "I love you."

The loved their Grammy time!

Nathan loved to hold Chia. What a sweet puppy.

Sledding up at suicide hill. Well I guess the hill down from suicide. Matt and I did get a chance to go down suicide hill a couple of times. It was so much fun. I could do that all day if my kids allowed me and my body. Nathan staying in the van with Papa, until the very end. Then he decided to come out for the last 10 minutes, and then wanted to do it more. He still wouldn't wear his boots or snowpants, but at least we got a coat on him. Grammy stayed with the boys while Matt and I went on suicide. Thanks so much mom and dad! You're the best.

Horsing around with Papa and Grammy.
