Handsome Boys!

This is Chad showing me the church clothes that Grandma Rawson got and made for him.

Brian got some to so they were a matching set today at church. Thank you so much Grandma Rawson, and I wish I only had a sliver of your talent. The boys loved their new church clothes.

This is just a funny thing Brian likes to do. When he hears that the heat is going to turn on he runs and sits down on the air vent and then just waits for it. Then when it's done he gets up and leaves like nothing happened.

Chad is joining him this time.

Grandma and Grandpa Rawson's House

This is our wonderful Chad boy, returning home from a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Rawson's house he was so happy and just said how fun it was and how he wanted to stay and do it again. He just went on and on about the great time he had.

See that happy little boy!

These are just some of the pictures of how much snow Grandma and Grandpa Rawson's house got.

LOTS OF SNOW!

Ok so this is our house I just want to show all the icicles we have and the big one almost touches the ground, they are very pretty.

Christmas 2008

This is how we started the day, we ate cute Christmas pancakes, well everyone but Chad did, he was to excited to open presents. The night before he was singing "Back rake, back rake, Santa's going to bring me a back rake"(to the spider man tune). Then Christmas morning we heard him singing Santa, Santa, Santa over and over again.


Opening presents, Chad really liked this gun he got but he has to pull really hard, but he does it, and loves it. He also loves a little house that he can carry his cars around in and takes them everywhere.

Grandpa is showing him how it's done...lol.

Brian loves the little piano in front of him that Santa brought. It was fun to watch Brian he loved all his presents, he would smile hug and love them and then we would try putting another in front of him and eventually coaxes him to open it.
Maybe grandpa got the gun more for himself...haha..no even Brian took turns with the gun.

This is now the new favorite TV watching center, the kids absolutely love to play in it and take turns very well it's amazing!

Well hope everyone had a Merry Christmas we did, and we are very blessed! We love you all!

Do Not Disturb

This is a regular occurrence I just think it's so funny Chad never fell asleep eating but Brian does it all the time. So funny.

This is just a picture of our icicles, well the biggest one, it has since gotten bigger and I need to take another picture, we have tons of icicles some of which we HAD to knock down because they were right over our door...very scary.

Snowmobile Time

Of course Chad loved rides on the snowmobile and would go with anyone that would take him. Tyler was the lucky one this time.

Brian loved it too, he would cry and throw a tantrum when you took him off, it was really quite funny.

All of us going for a ride.

Chad found his next victim, looks like lots of fun!

Anyway it was tons of fun and not to cold either. We thought we got a lot of snow but yesterday it dumped on us. We shoveled a lot, poor Trent shoveled here at work and shoveled himself and others out of the snow after getting stuck in the snow. When we woke up today and saw another 3 inches, after shoveling like 2 feet yesterday, we were not excited. Trent started singing.."I'm dreaming of a GREEN Christmas", haha. Really we like the white just not this much at a time.

Snow!

So we got some snow, quite a bit actually so when we went to visit Great Grandma Murray we decided to play in the snow. Brian's first snow experiences were good, he loved to sled. He did have to walk a little slower than usual because of so much padding, but it didn't keep him out of anything.

Happy kid with his daddy.

See very happy Brian with Heidi, bundled and ready.

This is actually Chad getting on Heidi's back to sled down the hill.

A Few Things

This is the day I went crazy. I put up the Christmas tree and wrapped presents, and my boys "tried" to be good helpers. I had one mess after another, not including my own. However it is harder keeping the cat out of the tree instead of the kids.

This is pirate Chad, with his telescope, water and tractor, silly guy.

Trent's aunt Jolene has been going through some of her stuff and gave us this wonderful toy box. This was right when we got it, however once they learned about it opening up, we can't keep their bodies out and the toys in...haha, they love it.

Santa Skates To

Well Santa came to the skating party and Chad asked for a "back rake" he said he wanted it so scratch his back because it was itching, so I do believe it's a back scratcher he wants.



This is all Brian did he just stared at Santa then gave him a smile and wanted down.

Brian showing me his great present he got from Santa, which he kindly shared all over his face, hands, coat, my coat, and anything else he could touch. What a happy boy.

Skating Party

Well Tuesday was Grandpa and Grandma's Rawson's ward skating party. Chad did really good skating, he was more like walking but you have to start somewhere.


This is Chad first fall, and after seeing his brother drive, Brian decided it was his turn, he would laugh and push buttons and try to honk the horn, he had a blast.

This is Chad again and this is his last and final crash, this one hurt his bum "really really bad". We tried to tell him he was ok but he was "not ok!!" So that ended the skating expedition this time. We would have put Brian in skates but they don't have them small enough, so maybe next year.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great! The cousin's came from Boise which Chad was really happy about and he had a blast everyday they were here. Brian really liked his cousin's around to, he would just follow and observe them the whole time. Francis came over too, it was nice to see him again. Dinner of course was the best can never get enough of mom's homemade rolls. We also had IncaCola!! See there is so much to be thankful for. We have such a great family that loves us and cares for us and is always there for us. For two great boys that love and care for each other and their family. A wonderful husband and daddy who provides and supports us in everything we do. We have been truly blessed and know we will continue to be blessed because we will endure to the end! =) Anyway, on a lighter note the day after thanksgiving we went "Downtown" to participate in all the fun activities. We went to the petting zoo. The kids loved it.

These goats were hungry and when the food came they would jump up on Luke and Sadie because they were bigger, but the goats were big to.

Brian ran around and didn't even care that the goats would push him over or not he was loving it.

Chad wanted to take them home and he was constantly picking up the smaller ones and we had to tell him to let them go.

Then we went to the train ride this is a deceiving little ride, all of us grown-ups went on it to. It was so bumpy wiggly that you felt you were going to be bucked out at any moment if you weren't holding on, but it was fun.

Then we went to get our faces painted but their fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate out of there so instead we saw the talking tree and went to the Railroad Historical Center and saw all the trains that Chad "just wanted one" of. It was a fun filled day.

Yum

These are just a couple pictures I thought were cute. Brian loves bananas however we found that three of them in a day does not do good on his digestive system, he has to work to hard later (if you get what I mean).

OK on this picture you have to zoom in to see all the yogurt on his face. He like to steal stuff that Chad leaves unattended on the table and this time it was yogurt, which he loved and this is what happens when you take food away. Poor sad boy like he's starving or something.

And this is Chad doing a "silly" face, he really wanted me to take his picture so his cousins could see. So here it is. He is very excited to see them for Thanksgiving, he has been checking to see if they are here everyday for about a week and a half. Two more days to go, I might survive!

Silly Boy

Well Brian is our blankey boy he drags his blanket everywhere. He has to even have it in the highchair with him, what a boy. Oh and no he doesn't need socks for Christmas they are just Chads old one and we have plenty. =)

What's better at playtime then to put your brothers back pack on your head for a hat? Good thing Chad was taking a nap or he would have ripped it of his head faster then fast.

Broken Window

So thanks to my sister Amy who decided to come and visit us we got our camera back before Thanksgiving! Hurray!! Here are the pictures I promised of the broken window and what the cat was doing to start the whole thing.
