Big smiles!

Ready to go - to where we aren't sure, but they're ready:)



We got a bit decked out in green thanks to Great Grandma Huckaba ( maiden name McQueen) - the boys thought the hats were great!

Hop-A-Thon

Ethan's school fundraiser hop-a-thon on Monday went well and he raised $140 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He hopped 459 times and mommy was glad we didn't commit $1 a hop:). Thank you for all who donated to the event. Ethan worked very hard and was one of the top hoppers.

Babies and Bikes

Ethan showing off his snazzy church outfit and his Buzz Lightyear socks. Jim said the outfit looked like something a professor would wear, except maybe the socks.



Ethan and Jayden have been practicing for the new baby with their babies. They even got to swaddle them and feed them.



Ethan was showing Jayden his baby.



And of course had to take pictures of everyone holding his baby. Here he is imitating mom and making sure the pictures turned out ok. He told us they all turned out GREAT!





Jayden got to try out the tricycle while Ethan and daddy were gone. He thought it was pretty neat.

Snow Day!

We got about 20 inches of snow yesterday, 16 or so on Saturday, which all together just adds up to a LOT of snow! The boys had a blast, Jim got work off yesterday and something like a half day today and we got lucky by not losing electricity (even though we lost Internet and TV)and enjoyed the beautiful views from inside our house. The snow was heavy and bent the trees down in our back yard until they were touching the ground - I don't think we had many break though, unlike our neighbors.

Ethan with Daddy during the storm ....



Jayden catching snowflakes on his tongue.



The boys and their snowman. The snowman was built on the driveway after daddy shoveled so by the time we went out it was only 4 - 6 inches. It was pretty funny looking - Frosty behind the car with his hands out. I didn't get a pic before Jim relocated the snowman. He said he thought about driving over him as quickly as possible but didn't want to disappoint the boys;). Instead frosty now resides on top of one of the curbs of snow in our front yard.

Christmastime

We have been very busy around here. The boys went to Baby Jesus' birthday party ...



Ethan made Gingerbread houses at school.



We decorated (and ate) sugar cookies.





Jayden got his first official haircut and screamed the whole time (he started right after this pic) ...



... but a lollipop at the end made it all alright.



and the boys have been having fun cuddling up with their blankies and playing Hot Hoops - just practicing to take on all those Lozano uncles;P



Merry Christmas - see you all soon!

Santa Claus Is Coming

We got to visit Santa a bit early this year. We went to the Newtown tree lighting and the boys sat on Santa's lap. Ethan had been planning his speech for months. I couldn't get him to smile much because he was so intent on relaying his wish list to Santa. Jayden just screamed. Overall it was cute though:)

Ethan's Muscles

Ethan was showing us his muscles the other day - reminds me of another boy about 20+ years ago whose name rhymes with Abe...

Sleeping ...

I love how it looks like they were so busy and then were overcome with exhaustion and collapsed in the middle of doing something. Ethan's eyes are even still a little open - which is often how he sleeps.

Busy in July

We have all been having lots of fun throughout the month. We are extremely blessed that Jayden has been so well and it has been a nice break for our whole family and allowed us to relax a bit.



My boys after digging the rest of my garden:



The boys with some friends at the Trenton Thunder games:



They love reading in Ethan's bed and often disappear upstairs to read:

Music Time

Ethan is already "strumming" out some new songs on his guitar. Guess we'll see where this leads (just hopefully no "Stairway to Heaven" - I had enough of that during my teenage years courtesy of Dom and Adam;).

The boys brushing their teeth:

Ethan's 3rd Birthday

Ethan celebrated his birthday in Dallas with a Thomas cake that didn't quite make it to party time and fajitas. When Dad and Jim got home from the store with the cake, they set it on the table and Ethan, who could hardly contain his excitedment, accidently pulled it over. He asked us to piece it together, but it didn't quite work:) He was so excited all day couldn't wait to open his presents.
