Just wanted to share...

My Gage turnes 2!

Yesterday, the 17th, Gage turned 2 years old......Time goes by way too fast!

The little man on the day of his birth. So sweet!

Gage's 1st birthday.

My big 2 year old dunking the ball. Trav and I got him a basketball hoop.

Ky loved it too!

Oh boy he was a cranky one!

He threw presents back in the bag after I would pull them out.. Little stinker!

Buzz makes everything better!

New Years Eve

We spent New Years Eve with my sister Brittany and sis Katie and Brian. Becky and Lewis and their family got sick so they were not able to make it. We started out the night with some of Brian's delicious dinner. He made filet mignon, garlic potatoes and asparagus. Then for something to do we went to see the zoo lights. It was pretty cold but we spent most of our time in the buildings so it wasn't too bad. Then we went back to Katie's and played games.

I have never seen the tigers more active. There was a kid that was climbing up by the fence (not smart! His parents watched him do it too! ) and it looked like the tigers were trying to stalk him. Kind of creepy! It's scary knowing the only thing that stops it from attacking is a chain link fence.

Gage LOVED these cats! It wasn't until I looked at the pictures later on that I saw that he was kissing the glass.

Christmas Day 2010

First we went to Travis's parents house to open and exchange gifts and have breakfast.

Grammy and Papa gave the kids each a rocking chair. I couldn't get Gage to sit still long enough to take a picture. Go figure!

Jake opening our present to him.

We gave Chad and Ali a "dirty" gift. I love watching Ali get embarrassed!

Grandparents were there so it made it even better! Obviously Chad like it! :)

Ky was so happy to get her Jessie doll!

Gage and buzz hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Holder

The kiddos.


We went home for a little bit to let Gage sleep and Marlin and Tonya came over to see the presents.

Trav teaching Ky how to break.

In the afternoon we went to Trav's grandparents for a party and I of course didn't really take any pictures :(. That night we went to my sisters house to exchange gifts with my family.

Parker had to show us his 4 wheeler Santa brought him.

Gage and Buzz just hanging out!

My niece Brynlee got Just Dance for the Wii so we played that for a while. It was a blast!

Gage and my brother Jeff (can't forget about Buzz!)

My Mom and Brent gave Kylee an easy bake oven. She was so excited! Every Wednesday that she is there while I work her and Brent bake something. This present is very fitting!

Brynlee's cheesy smile. We gave her some makeup.

Cute little Dax. He started walking Christmas day behind that walker. So cute!!

There are a few posts from Christmas so keep scrolling down!

Christmas Morning 2010

I look forward to when my kids wake me up Christmas morning instead of me waking them up.

Santa brought Ky a bike. Santa covered their presents he brought with blankets and Ky was really hesitant to pull hers off. Once she did she told us that she thought Santa was hiding underneath!

Santa brought Gage a cozy coupe police car. He didn't get out of it for about a half hour. He had to open a few presents inside of it.

I had him open Buzz last because I knew he wouldn't put it down. He held on to buzz from 8 a.m. through most of the next day only putting him for a minute or two. He finally put buzz down to play with something else. He still sleeps with him and has him for the majority of the day.

Kylee really wanted a pillow pet. When she peeked at it while she was opening it she thought it was sand?! It was a big hit!

Her favorite. Furry frenzies.

Opening presents inside of his car.

We had so much fun watching the kids open their presents that we forgot we had our own. We only had 30 min to open our presents and get ready before we had to be to Trav's parents house.
Travis got me that chair for camping. They are my fav chairs! Now I don't have to steal other people's!

Kylee wearing Trav's muck boots I got him.


Christmas morning is always so magical and fun. We are so blessed every year to get so much!
