We love it....

KaNgArOo Zoo! The boys love it. I love it. They run around, play, jump and wear themselves out that they almost fall asleep on the way home. We went with some friends and Amando wanted to tag along, which is great, because little Bos was loving her. He was dragging her up and down slides and loving every minute of it!

On a Different note....im sending in a pic of Cohen (and Bos-still in the process for him) for a cutest baby contest. Though this pic is kinda crazy with his hair and all and finger is in the way, do you think its cute? I think it shows his personality and big blue eyes, but im his mom and pretty much thinks he's a little cutie most of the time. (It also cannot be a professional pic and has to be taken within the last month, so this is what i could get from him.) Dont be afraid to tell me what you really think!!

Walking with DINOSAURS

We went to "Walking with Dinosaurs" and it was awesome. The dino's were huge. Cohen is really into dinosaurs right now so he really enjoyed it. They looked so real and sounded real too (not like i would really know). They looked pretty big, but once you saw the narrator down next to them, you really got a sense of how big the dinos really were. I tried to take some pics, however, there was no flash photography and i am still learning how to use my camera and couldn't figure out how not to use the flash without the pictures being fuzzy. So, i did sneak some ones with the flash on:)

Cohen loved the T-Rex, but he was really loud. Cohen kept saying and keeps saying,"the t-rex is so much loud".

The Bronchosaurus (sp?) . See the little narrator guy down there? The daddy bronchosaurus came out later and he was even bigger.

They gave out a lot history and facts that were pretty interesting. So many different era's of Dinosaurs that I didn't know about. I thought they all lived together at the same time. Apparently thats not the case.?

Thanks Gma and Gpa for the tickets. We had a great time. I tried really hard to get everyone to look at the camera....

CHRISTMAS, christmas, ChRiStMaS...

*i know this is like 3wks late, but oh well. enjoy!

We had a great Christmas. We got RiDiCuLoUsLy spoiled. The boys have more toys then I know what to do with. My house is still a mess......too many toys and not enough space.

My sister and her family came into town and James sister also came into town and we try so hard to please both sides of the family (but its never enough:) It was technically my Mom's yr so we spent the majority of the time with my side of the family. Here is the run down of how Christmas went........

{CHRISTMAS EVE}

We went up to James' house for a little bit to see everyone. DeAnn had bought costumes to act out the Nativity. Cohen and Robbie loooved it. Gma DeAnn had everything from a baby Jesus to the camel and cow.

We then went to my mom's and had a nice dinner. She had also bought a few costumes to act out the Nativity. She had the sheep and the wise men. Again Cohen thought it was great and he and Collin had a ball. We opened our matching jammies and so did the little ones. They all looked so cute. We even found a pair for little Grayden.

{Christmas Day}

Santa made a stop our house Christmas morning and Cohen was thrilled. Bos didn't quite get, but did like all the new toys! Cohen only asked for 2 things..."a wreal camera and a lightning mcqueen baseball bat." I didn't think santa was going to be able to find a lightning mcqueen bball bat, but sure enough they make them. Still not sure where in the heck he came up with that?? Cohen kept saying Bosten would like a horse from costco. Really Cohen wanted the horse, but santa brought one for Bosten and he loves it almost as much as Cohen. :) Cohen took pictures all day. A lot of the pictures I took, Cohen was taking one of me with his camera. Between filming, helping the boys, and trying to take some pictures.....i realized i really didn't take a lot of pictures. So only a few will get posted! ( i know thank goodness, right?!)

We then headed off to Gma Katy's for a yummy breakfast and more gifts to open!

Everytime Cohen would get half way done ripping the paper off, he would start saying "oh, my goodness, oh my goodness" and it would get louder and louder. He was a lot of fun this yr. One of my big gifts this yr was a Canon SLR digital camera, that I have wanted for a while. I opened it early due to a lot of pressure and I am glad i did, because we took it to Disneyland. Bos gave Cohen a lightning mcqueen backpack and cohen tried to put all his little toys and his camera in it and wanted to carry it around. It was heavy, so it didn't last long, but he always tells people, "this the backpack my broder gave it to me".

We then made our way up to Gma DeAnn's. Since we were the last ones there, we missed everyone opening presents. The boys had a blast opening more gifts and playing with new toys. James and I recieved a much needed new Dyson Vaccum. We were so excited and vaccuming has never been so much fun:) I didn't take a lot of pics, but i was able to capture Ade (james sister) modeling our "uniforms" we got this yr.

*we had a great christmas. we are so greatful to have family to spend it with. a huge thanks to everyone for all the wonderful gifts and fun times we had and memories that were made. i am glad that we are able to remember the true meaning of christmas and why we celebrate this time of yr, even cohen would say that is is jesus birthday. the boys are in toy heaven and literally want to play with every toy, marker, playdough, puzzle......everyday!
