Cam and Natalie came to see us...

Before the Ahos moved to Alabama, Cam and Natalie came to visit us. Cam and Isaac had a pajama party!

After bathtime, a giggle-fest in a box.

Nothing like a good book just before bed.

Whacha readin'?


Isaac misses Cam immensely - he often asks to "Go see Cam?" God bless and best wishes in Alabama, Ahos!

Isaac and Eli playing together - they're already becoming great friends!

Eli Rolls Over!!

Tonight after dinner, we turned around and Eli was on his tummy (we had laid him down on his back)! So, we re-created this milestone event for the camera...

(the sound may be messed up - sorry!)

Snowing and sledding in Shelby!

Getting ready for sledding - a breakfast of champions
(raisins, icing-covered biscuits, bananas, bacon, and hot chocolate!)

Gathering at the top of the hill

Peek-a-boo!

Eli, all bundled up!

Isaac is sandwiched between Dad and Jacob...

...this was to be his last sled run!

Father and son

Hot chocolate was definitely Isaac's favorite part!

Photo Session

Ah, our boys! Gotta love those facial expressions!

Some random pics of the boys lately...

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed


Making pancakes ("pamcapes") with Grammie

She's so patient (and brave)!

He looks like he's plotting an elaborate plan...

Our two little couch potatoes

Oops! Who's under there?
(Sidenote - Isaac was looking at this picture on our camera, and we said, "Isaac, who is in that picture?" and he said, "Umm, Eli." Maybe he recognized Eli's shoe!)

Bath time!

Christmas morning

Good morning, Isaac!

Good morning, Eli!

This year was a very "Cars" Christmas for Isaac - he loved it, and even took his nap with two Lightning McQueen cars...

Eli chewing on one of his Christmas presents...

Reading a "Cars" book from Aunt Julia, Uncle Trevor, Tirzah and Micah

Cookies for Santa

Decorating cookies for Santa

Icing-face!

Isaac was in charge of the sprinkles.

Picking out the cookies to leave for Santa before bed

Milk, cookies, stockings, and a note...wonder what he'll bring us!?

Grandpa and Eli fell asleep waiting for Santa to come!

Isaac having his morning cup o' joe (hot chocolate) while Grandpa reads Santa's note.

Eli got a blue and orange ball in his stocking

Isaac got lots of "Cars" stickers, candy, and a "Diego" camo-jacket (to match his hat!)

Santa pic, part 2!!

Here is a picture of a picture of Isaac and Eli with Santa, 2009!

The coolest Christmas present

Grandpa got his grandkids a ROLLERCOASTER for their house. Isaac is loving it - our house is going to seem really boring after this!

Santa SUCCESS!

On Monday, Isaac's Mother's Day Out class had their Christmas party and Santa visited - Dad coaxed him to stand with Santa so we got a photo this year!

Yay!
(Now if only we can get Eli with Santa - hopefully that will be an easier task!)

SNOW 2009!

We slid down the hill at the church with some friends - Isaac loved it, and even though Eli didn't seem to know what was going on, he enjoyed all the attention!

Riding the 4-wheeler may have been Isaac's favorite part!

Eli taking a ride

Mom's solo flight!

Merry Christmas from the Hills!
