Merry Christmas!!

Christmas was very weird this year... It was just the three of us, so it didn't really feel like Christmas at all! However, it was fun to have Jeff around more during the Christmas break from school so that I could sleep more (from working night shifts) and him and Nixon got to bond even more!  Nixon didn't really catch onto the whole opening presents thing, but he enjoyed eating the wrapping paper, and playing with the boxes. Most of his presents he was scared of at first, but now he loves them!
We got to play lots of games which was really fun - Jeff got Ticket to Ride which he had been eyeing for MONTHS now, so we had a nice tournament of that and some good ol' Dominoes.
On Christmas Eve we went out for dinner - it was the first time that Nixon got a meal ordered for him.. and he ate NONE of it! What a little turkey he is!! We also all opened some new PJs, and watched some Christmas movies, it was a blast!
Here are a few pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve Jamba!!!

I had to put this up.. Nixon reminds me SO much of Nash

Nixon takes his first steps!

We got Nixon these shoes to help kids learn to walk properly since he kept standing up and trying to take a step but get too scared.  We put on the shoes and in a few minutes of course when we weren't paying any attention he just did it, he walked! We kept trying to get him to do it before and after his attempt, but the only thing that worked was cheese string.  We got a clip of him hes not the most stable, but at least he will have the confidence now!  I am so glad to see him walking.. he can get into everything, and can crawl SUPER fast, so i figure why not, at least this way i wont have to worry about him hitting his head on our tile floor until he starts climbing anyways!
Here is the video...

We went to Cardston for the week of American Thanksgiving after I got my wisdom teeth taken out.  We got super sick while we were there and that wasn't fun but it was good to see the family, and Jeff played in the Alumni tournament - and his team won!!

Well Christmas is coming and we are super excited.  We are staying in Rexburg for the season and will miss our family but we are super excited to try out just being with each other.  We put up a tree and I plan to get a family picture by it soon.  More to come for the season, so keep checking in!

Oh and Jeff only has one week left of classes so yay!!!

Happy Halloween!!

I was super excited about Halloween!! Even though I had to work the night shift the night before (and the night of), I wanted to make the best of it, and didn't want Nixon to miss out on anything!!
To start off Halloween night, we got Nixon all dressed up! He was a Lion!! I origionally planned on being Dorthy and Jeff Tin Man and of course Nixon the Lion, however, since we weren't going to be able to go to any Halloween parties since I work every weekend, I decided i would wait until next year since Nixon will actually know whats going on then!

We started off with some Trunk or Treat at the Cal-de-sac right by our house, with our friends and their 2 little boys. Nixon likes to crinkle the candy wrappers, so he liked to just grab the candy and hold it or shake it depending on the candy.

Nixon met MR and MRS Potato head....very fitting for Idaho haha

Gave home some fruit loops, closest to eating candy that he got!

Harrison, Everette and Nixon playing while we carved pumpkins.

Jeffs Pumpkin!

We got a pumpkin shaped pizza for supper, it was sweet but I forgot to get a picture of it until it was too late! but he had a face made from pepperonis and black olive eyes! When walked outside for like a second to check out our pumpkins, Nixon grabbed Harrison's piece of pizza, and got it all over himself as he started to devour it... Jeff wanted to take a picture of him messy, but this is me trying to hide it!

Yay! Happy Halloween!! We had fun, I hope you did too!!

Also, for the rest of the month of October - I started working the night shift at walmart so I work 10pm to 7am... its hard but its nice to be working again!

We also took some family pictures.. here are a few of my favorites!

September

Back in Rexburg!

So whats new in the past month is.... Nixon can stand and "walk" along furniture!!!! WHOOO!! He also crawls on his knees now...but only sometimes. He still prefers to go on his tummy, I think it is because he can move himself faster.  He also has 2 teeth now which has changed his smile and its too funny! Jeff thinks he looks like a hillbilly, and I think he looks A LOT like my baby pictures especially with that face!

Our charger to our camera had been misplaced in the move, and we just found it today, so here are some new and some old pics!

Today we gave Nixon a pickle. He totally LOVED it!

I LOVE these PJS thanks Aunt Kristin!! My most Favorite ones yet! ...and yes I know they are 18months ones and he is only 8months old.. but he is in mainly 12-18month + sleepers! Its those Long legs!!

 Yupp, thats Pizza in his mouth!

I took like 4 pictures, and this is the only on where at least one of them had their eyes open!

This is just some PROOF for all you out there! He can also get along the furniture...and trust me... our tv is taking a beating from this little man.

Life is going great, and Jeff is having fun with school and also started playing Baseball!! When he has a game you can bet me and Nixon will be there and we will get some pics!!
