And then there were two

 

When we were in Arizona back in September my Sister in-law Tara gave us an extra sunggly in case something happened to Bostons. One night we got Boston out of the bath and he took of running naked like he does every night. He finaly slowed down after he took a little stop to pee all over snuggly. I took out the extra and he went to bed just fine. Well since then he knew there were two and has to have them both. Now we are really in trouble if we lose one.

The Lights

I have kinda a hard time getting getting in the Christmas mood here with no snow. (don't worry I still don't miss it) So I decided that we should go as a family down to see the Christmas tree lighting in Frisco. Well it worked. It was absolutely freezing and definately felt like Christmas time. Boston's favorite part was when we saw frosty. For some reason he has really taken a liking to frosty this year. We only stayed about 45 minutes because it was that cold.

 

Dear Boston

 

Do you remember these days? The days when you would eat whatever we put in front of you? The days that I felt like I never stopped feeding you? The days when the second you saw food your mouth was wide open? The days where meal time was fun?

That's what I thought you have completely forgotten about them and no longer want to eat at all. This has been going on for about 3 weeks and it is so not fun. I know you think that you can live on fishies, fruit, and juice, but believe me there are so many things our there that are so much better and I promise you would like them. If you would just open your mouth and try them you would see.

Lets make meal time fun again.
Love you lots, (even more if you would eat without me putting on a circus to get you to take a single bite)

Thanksgiving 2009

For Thanksgiving this year we headed out to to Trav's parents house in Santa Rosa. It was absolutely amazing!!! This is what we did...

Spent a very long day on the plane with a very tired little boy. The craziness of the day was all forgotten when we saw the incredible views of Northern California. Breath taking!

We went down to St. Helena's and enjoyed some incredible hamburgers!

Boston got absolutely spoiled by demanding 100% of Grandma and Grandpa's attention. Not kidding he wouldn't do ANYTHING without them. They had to be by his side at all times. We played choo choo, play dough, in the the tub, on the stairs, with all the fake food, in the leaves, and don't forget we played cars alot!

We ate some very delicious food. Crab, shrimp, steak, two different kinds of turkey, Kirin =), Mary's, and yummy salads just to name a few. While eating this we tried very hard to get Boston to eat which is quite the task these days.

We did some shopping.

We got to catch up with the Wiseman's. Livvy is the cutest little girl ever! Boston was pretty shy around her. Since seeing them Boston has taken a liking to Matt or Map as he calls them. He points him out in all the pictures.

We spent a day at the Bay area Discovery Museum. Boston was in heaven! They had so many fun things for kids to do and it was so fun to watch Boston. Definitely my favorite activity we did.

And best of all we spent time as a family. It was so fun to spend a whole week with Trav. Trav and I pretty much got a parenting break since Boston wouldn't let us do anything for him. Did I mention that we I mean Grandma and Grandpa read Boston Goodnight Gorilla about a hundred times and he never got sick of it. In fact he would die laughing every time they read it.

Thanks Mom and Dad Wilson for such a fun relaxing vacation we absolutely loved being there!!!

He Loves Him

My Brother was in town for about a week and Boston was absolutely CRAZY about him. He wanted Kyle to do everything for him it was so cute.

Happy Birthday to us

I guess I should say Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Valentines Day, Happy Mothers/Fathers Day, Happy Birthdays again. Do you get the idea? We are gifting ourselves a new house! We are beyond excited and if everything goes as planned the building should be finished we should be in the begining of Feruary.


So for our Birthday presents we decided that it had to do something to do with the house. Trav gave me some way cute decor from Anthro and I gave him a new Jig Saw to do some projects around the house. Boston took over opening our presents and did a very good job. If you ask him to say Happy Birthday he just says Birthday Presents. Christmas will be awesome!

Thanks to everyone that called, texted, or sent cards we really apreciate and love you all.

Trick or Treat

On Thursday our Ward had their Trunk or Treat. Once Boston figured out that all he had to say was trick or treat and he would get candy he was all about it. We LOVE our ward and will be so sad to leave. Andrea and I tried to get pictures of Boston and Julia, but as you can tell it didn't work out to well. Grandma D came with us and took Boston around to the different carnival games and he won some plastic bugs and cupcakes. He was in Heaven.

 

Yesterday we started the day out by hanging out with Grandma D for a little bit and then headed over to Ed and Xela's. Trav's parents dressed up as Frankenstein and his bride. Does that not make them the coolest Grandparents ever? We think so. We headed over to the outlets to let the kids Trick or Treat. Again Boston thought it was so great. After that we went to Ed's ward Trunk or Treat and made our rounds there. We ended the night with kids in bed and Pizza and Movie for the adults. We had such a fun day and absolutely love watching Boston get excited about the Holidays.

 

*Note on his costume. I was having a hard time trying to figure out what to have Boston be and was not about to spend lots of $$$ on getting him one especially when he doesn't have an opinion on what he is. I went to a consignment store and found his pirate costume for $8. I was so happy and am pretty sure Boston was the cutest pirate ever! He loved his costume and actually kept his hat on the entire day I was totally surprised by that.
