1st Christmas

Our first Christmas as a family of three! In a lot of ways it was Tony and I's first Christmas too! It was the first year that Tony and I were both off of work since we have been married. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with the Hay family in Abilene... we even had a White Christmas (eve). The candlelight service was cancelled at church due to weather, so we just enjoyed some time together at the house. It was so fun seeing our niece Callie really get into things this year! We had a blast! Tony, Logan, and I spent Christmas morning together which was really special. We then headed to Cove for Christmas with my family (the Camerons, Turners, and Williams). Logan's first road trip! (which went suprisingly well) That can be summed up with "fun on the farm". Logan and my nephew Cameron got a miniature pony from my parents for Christmas... yes, a real one. Everyone had fun riding horses, watching Cameron play on his new tractor, and snuggling with Logan. Tony ended up getting strep throat so Logan and I stayed a few extra days with my parents and rang in the New Year. We also got to spend some extra time with Jamie and Cameron! Overall, we just had a very blessed time. We are very thankful for our families and feel very fortunate to be able to spend the holidays with them. We just wish everyone lived closer and we could do this more often. 2009 was full of MANY blessings for us. We look forward to what God has planned for our family in 2010!

Happy New Year! (My Mom, Dad, and I toasted at 9:00!)

One Month!

This first month has flown by!!! I can't believe he is already a month old. Christmas Eve was his one month birthday :) We have had so much fun! I am still enjoying being home with him and wouldn't trade this time for anything. So far, he smiles, coos, loves his bouncer and gym, checks out lights and ceiling fans, snuggles, and even rolls over (from his tummy to his back). He sleeps pretty well at night and is getting better at naps during the day. Our friend Joseph took pictures of him and our family and will post those as soon as we get them. We have enjoyed spending time with family over the holidays and had many visits from friends to meet out little guy. Maverick is adjusting well, but sometimes just stares and him trying to figure things out. His Aunt Lacy has been documenting our niece growing up with monthly pictures, and for Christmas she made me signs to take Logan's picture with. I am very thankful for her artisitc abilities and great ideas. So here it goes...

Aunt Kylee (I uploaded this one by accident and couldn't delete it... that is why it is randomly with his one month pictures, but we love Aunt Kylee, so it works!)
Taking a pacifier break :) Pretty content...


I love the hat... Tony does not!


Sweet boy...


It only took me two weeks to post this even though I tried several times. I am still adjusting to getting things done with a boy who is always hungry. :) Thankfully I got it up before he was two months old!
