Sledding!

The Best Christmas Ever!

Christmas traditions are so much fun with kids! We have had fabulous holidays. Parker was able to take this week off between Christmas and new years. Unfortunately I am not great at taking pictures, but here are a few from our past few fun weeks.

The first time meeting Santa for both of them:) They did well until Henry decided to pull on Santa's beard, then they got kicked off. Believe me he has a mean grip!

Parker's Birthday. He is excited about his new tool chest, but not as much as the giver because now his tools won't be scattered all over the house!



Showing off his new sweater from his parents and his cool treats from my parents.







Christmas morning...



Breitling trying to get Henry to sit still for the picture to show off their new sweaters. Unfortunately he wasn't successful, but maybe in a future picture you can actually see their cute sweaters.



A little more successful for thier sweaters from Aunt Joanie. Thanks Aunt Joanie for the amazing sweaters!





Grandpa and Grandma Corts sent him a cool sled for Christmas so here he is trying it out.












Breitling picked out this puzzle for Parker's Birthday. It took us 5 days to complete, but well worth it. Breitling was very excited to find it all done when he woke up one morning.

Something came with zip ties and of course dad thought it would be fun to tie up Breitling. Here he is being a good sport... again!



I thought they were so cute watching music videos all together so I wanted to get a picture. When I told Breitling and Henry to get their fingers out of their noses Parker thought he would join them:)

Thanksgiving Weekend!

Whenever Parker is home he always comes up with some ingenuitive fun thing to do with the family! Thanks to Great Grandma Audrey's package we had loads of fun. Parker cut the box up and put the packaging cushions on the bottom of it to make a sled. As you can see, it started out mild and got crazier. I guess Breitling is used to his Dad's crazy ideas because he is fearless. I have no idea how we have stayed out of the ER for the 3 years we've been married. Knock on wood! Breitling going down the stairs.
Then, Breitling decided to pretend this was his car and had to make sure he had on his jacket(his cute tuxedo jacket someone handed down to us I might add) and his backpack with his new wallet in it to take on his trip in his car.



And then, Dad decided to add Henry to the picture. I know, what was I thinking taking pictures instead of stopping this madness! Parker added a tape seatbelt so he insisted it was safe:)

You can tell Henry is nervous. He has that look alot with his Dad and brother around.




Then, Dad decided to pull them around the house.


Henry loved it! It's no wonder I have fearless kids. Parker starts them off when they are young!


And then, Breitling got a turn pulling Henry around!

Nope, thats not all! Then Parker put Breitling's couch on the package and pulled him around the house in his couch. Doesn't he look comfortable!

Grandma sent him this cool piano! I had to laugh at him holding it as he ran around the house dancing looking absolutely ridiculous! He insisted on wearing his jammies all day, with his cool tuxedo jacket and hat.


Our Thanksgiving was fabulous! We had three couples over and lots of delicious food of course. I am awful with pics so these last ones are the only I have from our thanksgiving day.

Watching Chitty Chitty bang bang with his best friend John! He LOVES John and Tracie! Tonight in his prayers we were saying our thankyous for the night and he added on his own "ThankYou John and Tracie." So sweet! We are so greatful for great friends who are such a great influence on Breiting since we don't have family close by!



Yes, more snow pictures!

I know, I know enough snow pictures, but Breitling has so much fun out there that I can't resist taking pics of the cutie!
His Dad buried him again, but this time he thought it was funny.

More Snow Fun

Parker and Breitling were playing in the snow when Parker hollered inside that I needed to bring them a camera. This is why...
Dusting himself off when he got out.





Cuties!

I know so cute huh!!! Thanks to Uncle Eric for sending us some super cute clothes!
We tried a pic with Breitling holding Henry and you can tell even happy boy Henry was nervous.
I guess this is why...

So we opted to just have them sit by each other instead.

And Breitling got to my camera and somehow did this to the picture. Looks pretty good. Guess I should learn how to do that too.

Family Pictures

Thanks to Tracie we had pics done in our backyard with all of the snow that has already come!



Isn't this pic cute. Tracie told me to tickle Henry to get him to smile so Breitling obeyed.

Two Years Old!!!

I know crazy that I have a two year old!!! We had as much fun as he did celebrating his birth! He is such a joy in our life and we think he is the coolest kid ever! If you can't tell from the following pics his favorite thing at age two is CARS! I have a hard time getting him to wear any clothes that don't have cars on them so thanks to his Grandparents for more car clothes so I don't have to do so much laundry. I think he even dreams about them because sometimes when I go to get him in the morning the first thing he says to me is "Cars!" Here is a little recap of his fabulous day!

He opened Grandpa and Grandma Barlows presents the night before so that Grandma could see him on oovoo since she was busy the next day. Here is his cute cars pillowcase she made. He is attached to it! As soon as he wakes up he brings it out to the livingroom with his car couch(pics to come) so he isn't separated from it.

Breitling also loves fish so Birthday morning he came out to this surprise! I was not surprised that Breitling was very excited about it and sat by the counter a good part of the day just watching the fish, however I was very surprised how excited his Dad was! I guess Parker had never had a fish before and he was like a little kid Chirstmas Eve as he was putting together the fish tank for Breitling. So cute!



As soon as he saw us bring this big package he yelled "car!" in hopes that it was his own car (he reads the Toys R Us Christmas toy book and just stares at the motor cars in dreams of one!). Well, he definitely won't be getting one of those, but he was just as excited about a car couch.



I am not proud of this, but I had to post it since it is so funny that as soon as he sat in his own couch he started looking for the remote so he could sit like Daddy at his couch.

Grandma and Grandpa Corts spoiled him with a cool Thomas train set! Once again Parker had just as much fun setting it up and playing with it with him. He plays with it so much that poor little Thoma's battery has been changed 5 times!



Sporting his new church outfit.

And, I made a cake again, this year it was much easier and faster and I learned something new; black food coloring tastes discusting!


His birthday dinner choice was Pizza, Parker didn't complain of course.





Not really part of his Birthday, but as part of the fun weekend Parker made sugar cookies with Breitling. He had a blast cutting them out with all his favorite shapes!

Other Random Pics

Not the first time Dad cut his hair, but the first time I took pics.
Just being dramatic when I told him to say cheese.


My friends and I got our kiddos together to do a tour at the firestation. Breitling was so good and very fascinated by it. He especially loved the firehat they gave him!
