Christmas break!


My Mom, Dad, Andrew, Nathan, & I by the Christmas tree. Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I love spending time with family and remembering Christmases growing up. We have so many memories and tradition that we now get to share with Nathan. It makes my heart so happy.

I love taking pictures by the Christmas tree.

My mom and Dad got Guitar Hero World tour for Christmas! We spent many hours rockin' away. My mom and dad even loved playing the drums.

Andrew and Evan took Hannah and Ian sledding and they stopped to pose for this picture looking cool!

Nathan loved playing video games with uncle Ian and Evan. I think Nathan won a couple of times. J/K Nobody can beat Ian and Evan at Smash Brothers.

Such a sweet little face.

All the kiddos! Adrianne, Hannah, Allison, Andrew, Ian, & Evan.


Nathan wasn't sure about being held by Grandpa. It was so funny because Nathan would look at him and say "Papa, Papa" but when he tried to hold him Ah Oh!

We had family pictures taken over Thanksgiving because Andrew's whole family was there.

Happy Briggs Family! This is the first time everyone was together for a couple of years.

We are a happy smiley couple!

Welcome Evan! Evan and Andrew sound and look a little bit more alike than they used to. I had to do a double take a couple of times to make sure the person standing by me was my husband and not my brother in law! Handsome young devils.

Thanksgiving


Wheee!

Nathan and Papa on the swings.

Nathan and Richard modeling their new Christmas Jammies!

My family has a tradition for going Christmas tree hunting the day after Thanksgiving. This was Nathans first experience. He refused to wear gloves and loved to look at the snow but hated it when it touched his hands



Thanksgiving Dinner at my house!

Yummy spaghetti!

Nathan, Ruger, Mckay, & Gibson

These are Nathan's friends Mckay and Gibson. Their mom watches Nathan for me while I am at school. Nathan is right in the middle of the two. Mckay is 9 months older than Nathan and Gibson is 7 months younger than Nathan. He will be in school with Mckay, but primary with Gibson. They had so much fun at the pumpkin patch together.

Nathan loves to crawl under the stools and sit there. He thinks it is great! I love his little smile!
This is Nathan's friend Ruger. Ruger's mom is nice enough to watch Nathan for me while I am at school. That are great buddies though. They scream and get really excited when they see each other. They both love their cars PJ's.

The park is their favorite place to play. Ruger is a little bit braver than Nathan.
I know this picture looks a little funny. It makes me laugh everytime I look at it. He loves to put his toys in his mouth and he thinks he is so funny because we laugh at him when he does it.

Happy Halloween?







Happy Halloween! I am not sure why this took me so long, but life just kind of got crazy and now it is almost Thanksgiving. Nathan was the cutest Tigger ever! He hated the head. I had to bribe him with candy to leave it on so I could take some pictures. Andrew was Albert Einstein and I was...... well a secretary! Haha. I love craving pumpkins this is my favorite way to crave a pumpkin with the stary eyes. We went to a pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins Nathan love all of the pumpkins!

School Days





I can't believe how long it has been since I did a post. Life has been a little crazy. Andrew and I both started work on our Master's Degrees at ASU. I am excited, but it has taken a little getting used to especially leaving Nathan. I am only gone 3-4 hours a day, but it is still hard. He is doing well and loves playing with his friends. It is so weird to be back in student mode, I feel a little old, but I really like my classes and I am excited to get better at what I do.

Nathan's latest trick is opening the DVD cases he finally got one out and broke it, so we moved all of our DVD's into the closest where he can't get them anymore. He is so crazy. He loves to cross his feet when he sits down. It make me laugh and I think it is pretty cute.

Nathan's new best friend - 1 year later!

Nathan & Josh have both changed so much, but they are still pretty cute! They are both walking and getting into everything. They had so much fun playing with each other.
Cute Boys!
This is a picture right after they were born. They are both still so sweet. They are just six weeks apart.

Nathan's First Haircut!




Nathan was so good while Lisa cut his hair! He doesn't look like a baby anymore he looks like a little boy. He is so sweet.
