Evan sports Uncle Billy's coat from 1976

Evan wore Uncle Billy's coat that he wore when he was about 2 years old. The jacket is well over 40 years old and was from the Beetles era. Doesn't Evan look dapper in this stunning hand-me-down?

Alex turns 1 year old!

I can't believe my baby is already one. We had a Mickey Mouse themed party at the house with just some immediate family members. Alex had a fun time opening gifts, but was not too keen on the cake. Evan and Alex loved the balloons and all the family attention.

Alex can now walk with ease and tries to almost run. He says a few words like ball, baa (bottle), night night, no no, mama, dada, and E (Evan).

He received lots of great gifts including an ornament, clothes, batteries, bath towels, and toys.

We had a fun birthday celebration for Alex!

Happy New Year 2015

This year we had several people in town to celebrate Alex's first birthday so we were able to celebrate New Year's as well. We had dinner a local Mexican restaurant and Kim provided the hats for us. After our dinner, we went back to our house and did a few small sparklers and watched the big show on TV.

Christmas 2014

We spent Christmas in Florida this year. Most of the family was on a cruise, but we did not go as the babies were so young. In fact, this is Alex's first Christmas! Time is flying by quickly. We enjoyed a lot of family time in Florida. We took the boys to Busch Gardens to see the Christmas lights and ride a few rides. Evan and Alex liked meeting Elmo, too. The weather was a nice and sunny 80 degree day.

The family all arrived on Christmas Eve and we partook of our holiday traditional foods, as well as a Christmas feast made by Cracker Barrel. It was quite tasty. The boys had a fun time opening stocking gifts and being around all the noise and chaos. Santa came to visit on Christmas Eve.
