Monster Jam
Saturday night Kaleb & I took Jackson to Monster Jam! It was nice to have a night out with just Jack. We went to dinner beforehand at Ruby's, where we used to go when he was just one :)

All the Monster Trucks lined up!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle was there & Blue Thunder (Jack's favorite truck)!

Blue Thunder flying!

Jack got a Gravedigger flag at the end :)

A Night Out!
After a LONG week back at work, Kaleb & I got to get out for a night without the kiddos! We went bowling with our friends Jessica & Craig, for his 31st birthday. We had a great time! Thanks for having us :)

Happy New Year 2009!
We spent New Year's Day & Eve at home...We hung out & watched Wall-e on New Year's Eve & let the boys stay up until midnight. On New Year's Day, the Herticas came over to watch the Rose Bowl (FIGHT ON!), scrapbook, play Rock Band, and eat!

Little Kaleb & Colby had some game going on here...not sure what :)

Jack & Kylie making us some dessert!

I might use this one for blackmail someday :) Colby with Kylie's pink headband on, holding his Handy Manny toolbox :)

Our family on New Year's Eve!

Jack was all into turning off all the lights & yelling "Happy New Year" when Daddy & Colby got home from the store...this was at about 6pm :)

Colby in the kitty tower :) Daddy tossing the kids around..

Colby made it all the way to 11:58!!

Jack made it to midnight!

USC Visit
A few days before Christmas we went up to USC to go to the bookstore to get Rose Bowl shirts. We hung out on campus for awhile with the boys & let them play some baseball & golf. We love being there with our boys, as the campus means so much to us. As we were leaving, the football team ran across the road & so we stopped to watch practice! It was very exciting!

The boys in front of Tommy Trojan..

Here are the boys last Christmas in front of Tommy T :)

Colby & Daddy
Colby loves to do whatever Daddy does. I posted before how he puts on his contacts with Daddy, and now he's into shaving with Daddy. Here he is a few weeks ago "shaving" with a comb :) Lucky for Colby, Daddy found this kid Thomas the Train shaving kit for a Christmas gift! It has a little fake electrice shaver & even some "shaving cream." He is having fun with it :)

Here is his new Thomas shaver with his shaving cream on his face!

"I Go Pee Pee like Jack-en!"
We had a very exciting night!!!! When we were about to put the boys in the shower, Colby went to the toilet & said, "I go pee like Jack-en!" I was all excited, since I have been dreading potty training & haven't mentioned it to him at all...So we put him up there & he went!!!! We all made a huge deal about it & he was SOOO excited!! He jumped up & down and kept shouting, "I gooo in the Toy-yet!!" (I had to crop this picture to be more blog-appropriate, but it is SO cute with his whole backside!!)
He called Nana & Poppy to give them the good news about the "toy-yet"!!!!

We had a popcorn party to celebrate! Here Jack is saying "Yeah Colby!!"

Christmas Morning
Christmas morning was so fun! We love watching the boys open their presents & get excited. Colby opened each one & wanted to play with it right away! This was the first year that Jack didn't do that; he tore through them all & was having a blast! We definitley had a blessed Christmas!

The boys waiting in Jack's room, ready to go open up their presents & see what Santa brought!

Jack got me the Jon & Kate Plus 8 book...we watch the show together each week :) I already read it--what a great book! It is a great testimony of faith & how God works in your life, when you least expect it! I recommend this book to all moms!

Their GeoTrax set! They had about 3 more sets that they added to it later in the day! GeoTrax has taken over our play room :)
