Relaxing

Corny

Apparently she loves the Jimmy Dean's corn dogs.

TWO-OF-A-KIND

Clippers

We had a blast, even though we lost and they played horribly. The seats were great, there were so few people that you could actually hear the players talking to each other, haha.

My lil' bro-in-law, Tom came with me.

There was quite a bit of construction across the street.

My older brother, Ian, got to come and he brought his friend. That is Novak coming through the tunnel. He actually played very well I thought. Wish he'd gotten more play time though.

Here are some of our other friends in the tunnel as well.

PEA Standing Up

A friend of ours has a line of clothing, pretty cute stuff, check out their store some time.

DW Campus

A fun 4 minute video from CNN Money.

You may or may not recognize Matt and Ted from our Valencia Stake playing foosball.

Staying Busy

This kid has one good night, one bad night, one good night, etc. etc. etc.

Exhausting and fun.

Another Post for the Grandparents ;)

For those who can't visit as often as they'd like.

Our Little Home Part: One

Fake Apples and Green Storage Containers in the kitchen.

I'm No Genius

I just finished my first Rubik's cube with the help of this guy.

I guess it's cheating. I'll be the first to admit it would take me a life time to figure it out. Can't wait to teAch it and show it off though, mwahahaha!

Places

We helped Greg and jamie move this morning into some really NICE old apartments. Some photos around the neighborhood at 7 am. And so continues my obsession with power lines.

Three Faces

You wanna see him? He only has three expressions. Sleeping, eyes open, and crying. Enjoi.

Happy New Year

More of her just being goofy. She loves putting our shoes on.

Of course, as soon as she saw the camera she changed gears into Miss Model.

Silly Kid

Christmas Cards

Merry Christmas everyone!

We were very happy with the Christmas cards, we only made a limited amount because they took some effort. We were proud of the home made envelopes, until we recently found out that because they were a custom size and not a standard size they required more postage, so some of them were returned to us. We'll get them to you one way or another, even if they're late.

In any case, here are some of the pictures we took but didn't use.

Meeting Santa...again.

She got all serious, didn't want to smile. Maybe one day, when she can ask him for things, she'll change her attitude.

Reading Time

What a copy cat.

Welcome to the World!

Here are the pictures. We had a lot of others who visited, I know they took pictures, but we didn't get any. We'll have to steal them from you later.

Here is mom and the new one resting just after the battle.


The hospital gave him a cute little Santa beanie and bib because he was a Christmas baby!


The proud Grandmas!


My parents brought us a cool little Christmas tree.


Lizzy was looking great and was able to give some time to the other one.


And of course, me and my brothers after we had gotten home early from the hospital.


Thanks to everyone for visiting and helping out!

ITS A BOY!

ISSAC CHRISTOPHER, born Dec 20th 4:34, this morning. 6lbs 3oz.

We'll post pictures when we get home from the hospital.

Snow in Victorville

My parents sent me some pictures from the desert where I grew up. Amazing to see everything covered in white snow.



My mom playing in the snow.

Pancakes in a Bottle

Liz said she was putting her pancake into the bottle. Gross! We need to get this kid a blender!

Thanksgiving Two

We showed up a little early and decided to help out by vacuuming. Well she finally faced her fears and tried it out. Now all I have to do is get her to vacuum all of her cereal spills every day!


As soon as Ian and Shannon arrived we pulled out the Jenga, and after something like 15 years of not playing it, we soon became enthralled with it. This was Charlie's first and last game as it proved much too stressful keeping it from falling with a crash!


My mom made her incredible chicken enchiladas for dinner. My brother and I went through a bunch of old boxes, and we watched some USC football.

Before dinner though we took a group photo. At first we were facing the sun to get good light, but nobody could bare it even for a second!




Lizzy and I are grateful for our families. We are very blessed and fortunate to have our parents and siblings around and close by. We love you! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanksgiving One

We have two Thanksgivings again this year. We spent Thanksgiving day with Lizzy's family. Delicious food and good company, but unfortunately not enough photos to show the festivities. Tomorrow we will be with my family in Victorville. Pictures from that to come.
