The Big News...

It's a good thing we make such cute boys because...
we're going to have another one!

That's right...we had our ultrasound today and found out that baby #3 is another little boy! We are really excited about the news (as are Isaac and Trevor). We took them to the ultrasound and they loved it. They watched intently as we saw all the little parts of baby brother. Isaac was able to see everything we pointed out and even noticed some things before we told him what they were. He was especially excited about seeing the heart and the brain. Trevor just kept saying, "I don't see a baby!" :) It was such a fun outing for our family and we are getting so anxious to meet this little guy!

And here are a couple of my favorite shots...

His adorable profile!

His foot

This is just as he was putting his little hand under his chin.
So cute! :)

Build-a-Bear!

Grammy and Papa gave each family money to do something special for Christmas. We decided that instead of buying our boys a present, we would use their money to buy Build-a-Bear gift cards. They've been wanting to go for a long time and it seemed like the perfect gift from Grammy and Papa. We even recorded Grammy and Papa's voices to put inside their bears.

We carefully documented our day at Build-a-Bear so we could share it with Grammy and Papa.
Here are the pictures:

So excited!

They both knew what they wanted to choose right away.
Isaac chose a koala bear and Trev chose a puppy.

He's in heaven! :)

(They really are cute...even if they refuse to smile normally for pictures!)

Giving it a squeeze. :)

Warming up his little heart

Trevor couldn't get over how cool the stuffing machine was.

It was finally his turn!

Making sure it was just right. :)

Time to dress their new pets

Thanks, Grammy and Papa,
for helping us to have this wonderful experience together.
We love you!

Fireworks!

Getting caught up... :)

My brother and his family came into town after Christmas so we spent the week hanging out with them. We did some eating out, activities for the kids, shopping at Last Chance, and lots of just being together. We had a great time! Before they left town, we were able to celebrate New Year's Eve together with all of my siblings and their kids. Just before midnight, we took all of the kids outside and let them do some sparklers. Then the dads lit some bigger fireworks for the kids to see.

Here are some of the kids, lighting their sparklers.

Poor Isaac was very nervous...
we could barely get him to come outside.

Trevor-EXCITED

Isaac-TERRIFIED

The last one of the night was a doozey!
As you can see in this video, it surprised all of us...

Jameson Family Christmas

My brother and his awesome family came into town after Christmas, so we did our Christmas party/gift exchange when they got into town. There are SO many of us, but we have the best time together. Here are a few pictures from our night:

This is most of the crew. :)

Trevor got this sweet Wolverine mask.

And Isaac got Spiderman.
Aunt Linsey must know how much these boys LOVE to dress up!

I guess these goofy dads love dressing up, too. :)

With the help of a friend, Grammy and Papa were able to give these books to each family. It was neat to have them be a part of our night, even from the other side of the world.
(One more Christmas and they will be home!)

Guess What Everybody...

Best Reaction

Here's the best reaction from Christmas this year.

(Background Info: Isaac loves infomercials and is always telling me about these "amazing" things that we should buy. His most recent obsession is the Aluma Wallet. If you want to see the commercial, check it out on youtube.)

So...we decided to get him an Aluma Wallet for Christmas.
It's such a weird gift for a 5-year-old (or anyone!),
but check out his excitement...

Christmas Memories

I'm finally getting around to blogging about Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Every year is more and more fun with our boys. They both remembered Christmas last year, so they both felt that anticipation and excitement about what was coming. We spent Christmas Eve with the Allen family (at Grandma and Grandpa's empty house!). They just moved in and had no furniture, so we threw up some folding chairs and tables and had a great time! :) Then we went home for the night and had our first Christmas morning at our home with just our little family. The boys loved every second of it and were so much fun.

Here's the recap in pictures:

Isaac waiting for Christmas Eve dinner

Love his cheesy smile! :)

Grandma with all the grandkids
She started a fun tradition where she reads a Christmas story
to the kids and they pass around little gifts.
When the story is over,
they get to open the present they ended up with.

Here they are "in action"

Cute little cousin Kaleb loves Trevor...
he insisted on sitting in his lap! :)

Opening their gifts

As soon as we got home, the boys were rushing around to get to bed.
They barely had time to leave cookies for Santa!
(Best bedtime EVER...they went to bed without a peep!)

Here are the "piles" from Santa

Christmas morning!!!

Here they are showing what they had asked Santa for.
(Isaac-a baby penguin, Trev-a baby squirrel)

They were thrilled that Santa ate their cookies.
Funny story...
In this picture, Trev is holding the piece that Santa left.
When he did that,
Isaac said, "Eww, Trevor! I wouldn't hold that.
It has Santa's germs all over it!"
Ha ha. He may or may not get that from me. :)

My cute boys...so happy!

Opening their scooters from Mom and Dad

The boys gave Daddy a new ASU hat

And I got "The Help" and a sparkly pink bracelet.

After opening presents, we called Grammy and Papa
to share our Christmas morning with them.
We really missed them AGAIN this year, but were

grateful to have them be part of our Christmas.

After that, we rushed off to church,
where Isaac got to singwith the Primary kids.
He was so excited about it and did a great job!

Then we came home and re-grouped before heading out
to my sister's house for Christmas dinner.
It was an exhausting day, but we loved being with family
and celebrating the birth of our Savior.

Can you tell he had a great Christmas?!
(He fell asleep on the way to my sister's house.)
