Boys' Pictures
I got the boys school pictures back today..I just took pictures with my camera, so the quality isn't the best here...


The Boys Last Week
We headed to Disneyland yesterday, but it was a nightmare! There were a zillion people there, and in 3 hours, we only got to eat & go on one ride. We'll try again on a weeknight in December!
On It's a Small World, one of our Christmas favorites....
Jack waiting for It's a Small World
Super Daddy holding both boys...Let's see, between the two of them they weigh 69 pounds!

As we were leaving, it started "snowing" at Disneyland! Colby got a kick out of it!
Here are the boys putting up the lights & decorations at half time during the game....It has been so cold here lately!
I picked up these cute signs at a craft fair I went to last week...The football was up because it was our Troy Week last week (the week we play the Bruins)...We won the game & will be going to the Rose Bowl in January!! GO Trojans :)
Ka made us do a drumroll (picture the movie Christmas Vacation!) before he plugged in the lights! I didn't get any good shots of the house all done..I'll do that tonight!
Colby had his 15 month checkup last Tuesday. The doctor said he is all caught up, size wise and developmentally! Great news! He weighed in at 25 lbs, and 31 1/2 inches long..He is 50th percentile for both! That is huge improvement for him!! (Jack wanted to be weighed too, and he came in at 44 lbs, and 44 1/2 inches tall! He made it very clear to the doctor that HE did not need any shots!).
Here he is next to one of his preemie onesies I came across the other day :) I remember when even THAT was too big for him!
The Walker kids came over to play last week...we got a picture of all four of them..Cassie is 4 1/2, Jackson 3 3/4, Colby 15 months, Jonathan 3!! They played for 4 straight hours, and slept good that night :)
Jack loves "doing yetters" (letters)....He is really wanting to learn how to read, so we spend some time working on letters everyday during Colby's morning nap.
Jack & I do a Christmas Frame every year from good 'ol Oriental Trading Company...the frames come in about a thousand parts for us to glue together :) We have fun anyways!
Colby can still walk under the table & not bonk his head...he's so close though!
It poured rain all day on Friday....the boys were missing going outside at this point!

Trojan Spirit
Here are our family pictures that we had taken a few weeks ago...there are so many I love, but I can't put them all on the blog (I'm already running out of space on this blog too--I figured out it's because I'm using my nicer 10 megapixel camera now...so those pictures take up more space on the blog each time...bugger!). So I've put a link on the side of the blog to Shutterfly, so you can see them all, if you so desire!
I really, really love this picture of my hubby & I.. It was the first time though, that I thought--wow, we are really starting to look older!! Maybe I'll stop getting ID'ed soon....

O Christmas Tree...
We went and got our tree today, which has become a tradition for us to do Thanksgiving weekend. This is always a fun family day, and a great kick off to the Christmas season for us! We got a 7 1/2 foot, Grand tree this year...it is really nice & smells great!
Jackson was not in the mood for pictures during our tree hunting outing.....but that's pretty normal for him these days....This is one I caught of him though :)
Mommy & Colby looking at Christmas trees.....Here are the three boys decorating the tree...I love the height differences!
Colby doing some decorating...
Jack's ornament this year was Scooby Doo, one of his favorites!
Jackson loved decorating...all afternoon he was asking when he could start decorating! When did my boy get so tall??
Daddy putting on the angel....
Our handsome boys by the tree..Colbers was very excited!

Colbers playing with our Little People Christmas nativity set...I wonder how long I'll be able to keep track of all the parts to this set??!!

Thanksgiving
We went to Bakersfield to spend Thanksgiving with my family this year. Traveling with the two little ones is always a challenge, but we had a really nice time! It's always nice to be with family, the ones that always love us no matter what. Kaleb & I have so much to be thankful for this year..God has blessed us and watched over us so much, and our boys are the greatest gift we've received. Here is our family on Thanksgiving :)

Our sweet boy..it's his 2nd Thanksgiving, but the first that he is more active! I think he was about 7 or 8 lbs this time last year :)
Here is the Clark family all together on Thanksgiving Day! Colby was too mesmerized by the fish in the pond below our feet :)
Jackson, Grandpa, and Kenzie...
Jackson & Grandpa...
Jackson was playing his rocket game out back...I got this picture of them all laughing at him! So cute!
Classic Colby face....
My brother and I....
The boys were out front playing a game, so I got out my zoom lens. I love the pictures I get with that lens..
Charley playing...
Last night we went out to dinner with Charley & Karen, and my Dad & Zee watched the boys....Here are C&K with Jackson when we got home!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
The boys made turkeys today at Day care..so cute!! Then tonight, the boys were playing together in the hallway, and somehow, Colby "ruined" their "castle." I told Jack that he should have fun & play with his brother, and then he went off mumbling to himself...We heard him say, "This is a time of giving, not sharing." I just had to write that one down :)

Grandparent Day
Today was Grandparent Day at Jack's preschool. Nana flew down especially for this event, and we are so blessed that they had this special day together. Jackson has a special bond with his Nana, and I love to see how happy he is when he is around her! Thank you Nana for making the trip (we know it isn't easy)...it meant the world to Jackson!Here Nana & Jack are getting their materials for the project. They got to pick out the colors of their leaves & parts to the turkey...

Here they are having fun doing their project...
Very focused on their work...
Jack's finished turkey!
Their turkeys!
After snacks and the turkey project, the kids got to show their grandparents their classrooms. Here is Jack showing Nana around his room...
Jack showed Nana his seat! Kaleb said that the kids don't have assigned seating, but that Jack tries to sit next to a little girl named Kayla each day :) Maybe grils aren't so yucky anymore...
The turkeys are ready to head home...Note their crossed legs :)
FANTASTIC pictures taken by Daddy :) Thank you Ka!
