My Baby Shepards!!

Okay I posted out of order, so sorry, in this and the next post I will be repeating myself in some ways... SO we reinacted the christmas story and I just wanted to show off the costumes. Judd's mom has a suitcase full just for this once a year play. So here is the play, Jackson was dressed as a shepard, but demanded to be the star, and he did SO good holding the star up the whole time. He tried hard to get it over their heads...I know he was just holding a star, but I was just SO proud of him, it almost made me cry that he was taking his job so serious! It was extra cute becuase his head piece was hanging in his eyes so he could hardly see but he didn't even figet with it.

Oh and Porter just laid down in front of Juston and Nicole so he suddenly became baby Jesus in that instant, even though we had originally planned on a baby doll! Nicole made a GREAT Marry with her prego belly. And if you watch the video you could hear Titan and Jackson screaming back and forth at eachother off and on...so It wasn't perfect


Porter dress as a shepard, the back of him, He looks SOOOOO CUUUUUTE! Even from the back!

Another action shot of Jackson doing a great job!

Julie and Mom following the script, so they could tell us what song to sing, and when to pause, and Dad narrating from the scriptures!

And Judd getting dressed up as a shepard...So if we lived in the desert and had to wear these clothes, I would still think Judd was cute!

My Baby Shepards!!

This year doing the Christmas story play was SOOO much fun. The funnest I've had since I was 8! My little shepard boys were SOOOO cute!! We did this Christmas Eve, as is the traditions in a lot of homes. We did it in my home growing up, and Judd did it in his, and his Mom has been so good to continue the tradition, even when there were no grandbabies! (I also had fun the year I got to play Marry, because I was pregnant with Jackson...that was a fun year too (Judd was the donkey, Hee hee, no he really was!!))ANYHOO! check out the pics
Jackson held the star and he did SO GOOD. The second he saw it he said he wanted to be the star! I just thought that was SOOOOO cute! He stood there and stood there and tried to hold that star up the whole time. (I should give him a star to hold up in church)


This is Moo, Jackson's Cousin

Porter and Jackson, I LOVE THEM. I should dress them like shepards ALL the time!

Porter, with HIS baby Jesus, He kind of knew what was going on...

And Jackson the "Star" of the show... haha even though Im corny, I couldn't resist!

IRON MAN

Jackson loves Ironman. We rented Ironman 2 from Red Box and watched it when Jackson was still awake and we have never heard the end of Iron Man sense. Jackson knows he wants an Iron Man for his birthday (we already told him he wasn't getting it for Christmas)
cute things he says:
"I be Ironman and Porter be Spiderman"
"Ironman kills monsters like this!" and then he does this pose in the pic below.

He was all about that pose for about three weeks then Judd just recently printed this picture out for him and gave it to him tonight...

So this is his new Ironman pose!...I love it! It's so funny...He does jump off the table now and then and we have to tell him no. But this Ironman thing works really good when bribing! We say, Ironman eats ALL his dinner, that's how he gets strong! and then he'll eat his whole dinner! or lunch, or breakfast! Or we tell him, when he gets out of hand with it, that Ironman only hurts monsters (opposed to his little brother) yeah,


We love our little Ironman

Santa!!

Our Library did a "Christmas Extravaganza!" They had crafts, story telling, and Santa. Jackson had a BLAST! He got a BLUE candy cane from Santa clause which he thought was SO cool, b/c we only have the red ones at home. And he did a really good job making the crafts. All I did was apply the glue and he put everything together! I was so surprised...I was joking with my friend, that his hands were so steady when applying the buttons and eyes, etc...that he may be a surgeon some day, and follow in his Grandpa's shoes!!
We had a lot of fun. THank You Madison Library, I just wish I had told more of my friends about it, however, I did see alot of people there I knew =o)
These are what Jackson made, a Santa and a snowman, out of a toilet paper roll, everything was provided and already cut and ready, it was just so fun! And look how proud he is!!!


I don't know why this picture is so dark, sorry, but it was the only shot I got! Jackson was very excited to see Santa and was happy to sit on his lap...but he did not say ONE word to him and he didn't smile once...poor santa

And all I can say about Porter's shot with Santa is.....Classic!


MERRY CHRISTMAS

my boys at one year old

Okay so I just thought it was interresting to see the similarities and differences between the boys at one year of age. This is Jackson at his one year party.

This is Porter at his one year party

Jackson at one year with his birthday cake

This is Porter with his one year birthday cake

And the boys now....with their moose jammies on.

Jackson is just a bit fatter....and had more hair, but just on the back of his head...?

christmas crafts/decoration

Jackson posing as a super hero! He found Porters bright yellow fleece suit and thought that is had to be a superhero costume

My dad bought this christmas boot for his wife, Karie, and she thought it was kind of tacky, I said I LOVE IT! so she gave it to me and I used it as a pattern to make three other boots, they are christmas stockings. I have some pink and brown sparkly paisley fabric for a future little girl (no I'm not pregnant!) So we each have a stocking.

I thought they turned out SO CUTE! I just need to put some rhine stones on them...maybe save that for next christmas!!

I got three wreaths at a garage sale, and I had these pares...probably from Karie too! =o) I bought the bows last year after christmas sale, and then bought the flowers this year for 1 dollar for all of them. and hotglue gunned it all together, I made TWO!

And my snow village. Department 56 that is. I could only fit a few pieces, sorry mom.
