Jaxson's big 8th!

For Jaxson's eighth birthday we told him he could have a "friends" party and he choose to go to Outer Limits fun zone. It was super fun and he had lots of boys from school come play! They all had tons of fun and we were so happy they could come share his big day.

This was all the kids after they played laser tag. (I scanned it in and it didn't turn out super good)

Birthday boy with the cake ( I probably needed to get the picture before laser tag, he was super hot!)

Here's a close up of the cake before it was completely finished. (the driftwood said "Happy Birthday Jaxson!" and the life preserver had his name and an 8 on it)

Cute Kiddos and More Teeth

Fun Great-Grandkids Christmas Party at Old-Papas house. My Grandpa is 90 years old and he is adorable. He called one night to invite us to this fun little great-cousins party at his house. He fed the kids pizza and soda and ice cream and played with them. It was super fun. THey love him soooo much! Vercein, Carter, Eva, Savanah, Alexus (up)
Benjamin, Jaxson, Jacob (down)

All the great-grand-cousins (that live in town)

Jax is so silly! He sleep walks and we found him on the floor in our room, sleeping with Audi (the dog) like this one night. (Must have been cold!)

I came upstairs from changing the laundry one day and found Evy watching a movie like this! these kids are sooo funny! They come up with the silliest things. I'm sure proud to be their mama. I love all their quirky thought and ideas!

Sweet Baby asleep in the swing. I love the color red on Elena ( in case you couldn't tell) it looks so good with her dark skin/ hair. Love it! She's so pretty :)

Sharkey the pirate. Arg! he got all this fun stuff at a buddy's birthday party. He wore it for like three days straight-- even slept in it, he only took it off to bathe (and kind of against his will).

Jax chillin out

Carter, Papa and Eva practising dance moves on a sunday afternoon.

Mommers playing with the baby

Cute kiddos cuddling with sissy.

Just over a week after Eva lost her first tooth she lost her second! Her teeth sure have gone fast. They've both gone from normal to super wiggly to out in like a day.

She was only a little excited!

Cute baby playing with papa

We just took off her dress and she cuddled up to him so sweetly. I love this picture!

Sweet Ellie-girl after church one day

January

For new years my family all got together and had fun! We were so happy it was the first time that we have all been together in over a year (maybe even 18+ months) Nathan came home from Ukraine, Chewy and Adina came from Seattle, Krista came home from CSI and Elena came from Heaven. It was great we talked and laughed and played and ate! The night before Bryan and Adina went back to Seattle we all went to Texas Roadhouse together but they don't have any conference type dining area so we all sat closeby in seperate booths. (Dad, Mom, Krista and Nathan)

The Wilsons and the Bart Call's

Pretty Elena started smiling :)

Eva and Lori in their matching outfits/earrings - so cute!

Jaxson cuddling with Millard (he is our good friends' cat and we are babysitting him until they close on their new home)

Eva lost her first tooth!Which is Crazy cuz she's only five (Dave, Jax and Mommy were all six+)

She came home from school and told me she had a loose tooth and I thought " oh okay. . . " then I wiggled it (just to appease her) and it WAS really loose! I took this picture because you can see how loose it was -- its the crookedy one in the center. It came out that very night and she was soooo proud.

More Texas Road House Pics. I think this must have been the crazy face pic (dad, nathan and I must have missed the memo lol)

Jax, Sharkey, Eva and Daddy eating peanuts while we waited for our table.

We went to Island Park and spent Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Wilson. We made sugar cookies with Grandma and laughed and played with Grandpa-- and of course played in all the snow! We had a great time and the kids were totally spoiled by Santa and everyone else:)
