1st Christmas and LOTS of family time

What is more fun than enjoying the 1st Christmas with your 1st child. We had a blast getting into the holiday spirit this year.

Picking out his first tree!







Checking out all the Christmas lights!


1st present to open. So fun!

Baby blessings, soccer games, naps oh my!

November was a pretty mellow month for us but special. We had the whole family over for Jovi's Baby blessing and it was so nice.



Jovi really does love watching Ashlynd play soccer. This one just cut into his nap time!



Like Father, like son. And Yes, they are both really sleeping!

1st month in our new place and Halloween!

October we moved in and slowly settled into our new place and new life in California. We had a blast watching Jovi grow and celebrating his 1st Halloween.



This little guy just LOVES taking baths.



He is so smart he already knows sign language


Jovi can stare at the ceiling for hours just like I can stare at him for hours



Here's our little lobster! He was the hit at our Trunk or treat!

1 month in California and Lindsay's birthday

This is our first month in California, our first month as a Mom and Dad and its the month of my birthday so Jovi was able to enjoy his first Angels game! Life couldn't get any better!




We LOVE this little guy!

We are in California!

Jovi gets to meet his cousins for the first time and the rest of our family and friends!

2010 So far......

Ok ok ok, we admit it! We have been major slacker blogger as of 2010. But yay for you now you get to read 12 new posts from The Holmstrom clan! We will try and catch you up by creating a post for each month. Happy reading! Good thing we have pictures for each month so that we can semi-remember what has happened over the past year.
Enjoy!

7lbs 4oz 19.7in and absolutely perfect!

More pictures to come. As you may or may not know we are moving back to California this week! Needless to say, with a new baby and packing up our life in Arizona, I am a little busy and going crazy. Haha!

33 Weeks!

Ok here is the latest picture of me and the growing belly! I just had a doctor's appointment on Friday and I am measuring more like 35 weeks. So she wants me to get a ultrasound done next week to see where we are at. Pray for me and my newly aquired stretch marks thanks to this little growth spurt! Haha!

4th of July!

Nothing beats the 4th of July in Huntington Beach! It is truly one of my favorite times of year. After sleeping in our cars a few nights before, we were able to secure some really great seats. We only had one small altercation during the parade, but what can you expect from a pregnant lady?! Haha! We all had a great time though!

Brian's sister Julie and her son Benjamin participated in one of kiddie runs before the parade started. Great job guys!


Here are a few of my favorite moments of the parade including the military honors.



What would the 4th of July be without out a creepy old Uncle Sam?!


Luke loved his little flag and was great at waving it at everyone that passed by.


Ashlynd is always the little performer and this day was no different.


Brian and I getting some much needed sun!

27ish Weeks!

Well here are the latest belly pictures. It is amazing how much the belly grows on a daily basis. All in all I feel pretty good and I am so excited for these last few months to be over! Haha
