Christmas photos part 1

 Here are a few of our Christmas vacation pictures.  We sure enjoyed visiting family and the warm weather!

This is at Oceanside Pier.  It was a bit cold and windy, but there were still people surfing!

 

Camden playing with a big Mr. Potato Head smile. 

 

 

 We really weren't planning on getting wet, but we wanted to touch the sand.  But, with each step, the sand becomes less sand and more water!  Soon, Camden was soaked to his waist.  Then he rolled in the sand.  We had to drag him out of the little waves.  (It was absolutely freezing water, too!) He loved the beach!  

 At the San Diego Safari Park, Camden got the most orange Dorito fingers I've ever seen!

 Nate liked the elephants.

 Our little "batmen"

 Camden enjoyed petting, brushing, and chasing the goats.  Nate wanted to try to touch one, but he kept giggling his high-pitched giggle, which scared them away.  Hehehe!

 Nate loved the sparkles in Aunt Rachel's chair. 

 Stay posted for more pictures.

7 months!

Nate's Favorite things (try singing it!)

Newspaper, best when it goes in my mouth,
Crawling where ever I want 'round the house,
Graham crackers are a wonderful treat
Rivaled perhaps only by my feet.

I love to kick and splash in the bath
Camden is good at making me laugh
Flying real high, way up in the air
Eating all sorts of new foods in my chair.

When the teeth come,
When I tumble,
When I feel so sad,
My fam'ly helps me remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad!

Dinosaurs, cars, trucks, and things that make noise
Most of Camden's toys bring me great joys
Computer or any other kind of cords
I know where they are and go back for more.

Book baskets, tickles, trash cans, and apples.
Talking quite loudly when we're in the chapel.
Starting to pull myself up where I can.
Trying to get whatever's in mom's hands.

When the teeth come,
When I tumble,
When I'm feeling sad,
My fam'ly helps me remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad!

Pictures will be added shortly.  Love you, Nate!

Christmas photo shoot

 When you have two children who won't sit still, when you have one who looks like he'll sneeze in pictures because of the flash, when one likes to wrestle and the other likes to crawl away, when you have about 3 minutes to take pictures, and when both of the children are boys, here's what you get:

Merry Christmas!
