Here are a few pictures from Christmas night at my parents house. Jones and Jaimin both got Hulk masks and gloves. They loved them, every time they hit each other the gloves make noises. They ended up having a small boxing match. It was pretty funny. Here is Jaimin on his way down, he would pretend that he was dying and would slowly fall to the ground anytime Jones would hit him.

Here they are eating their cookies and getting excited to open presents.

Merry Christmas!

Tis The Season

Well as you can tell my boys are very excited for the Christmas Season. All day long they are singing Christmas songs and talking about Santa, it is so much more fun now that the boys are older and getting more into it. Christmas just doesn't come fast enough for them. This year hasn't quite been the same for us for both good and bad reasons. Mark has started a new position, so hopefully I will get to see him more which is good. In the past few years we hardly got to see Mark during the holidays due to him working in retail ( their busiest time of the year). So Mark will get to enjoy Christmas a whole lot more this year. Me on the other hand is a different story. Once again I have Mono (yes that will be the second time in the past 8 months) and my Pancreas has decided to flair up again. It has made it really hard for me to get into the spirit. Getting out Christmas decorations alone wore me out. I am hoping that since Mark will be home more I will be able to rest more and get over this quickly. The good news is I have almost all of my shopping done except for my neighbors and everything is wrapped. So hopefully it will be stress free from here on out, cross my fingers. Here is Jones wearing the Santa hat and some stockings. He thought he was pretty funny.

Here are the boys playing in the backyard in the little snow that we have gotten this year. This is actually the first year Jaimin was willing to put boots and snow pants on.

I am selling this toddler bed for $30.00 if anyone is interested.

Double Darth Trouble

So this year for Halloween both my boys decided to be Darth Vader. I was pretty surpised, I knew that Jones wanted to be that but was sure Jaimin would want to be a transformer. But as soon he saw what Jones was going to be he knew right away what he wanted to be and there was no changing his mind.

Here is a picture of the boys with their cousins right before we went trick or treating. Every year for Halloween we go to my parents house for dinner and then around my parents neighborhood for treats. The kids seemed to have more fun this year, I am assuming it is because they are all a bit older and the little ones actually wanted to keep up with the big ones. The funny thing was the more we trick or treated the more Jaimin's costume would come off. He has a tendency to get hot really quick and all the running from door to door made him hot very quick. Every few houses he would take something off and throw it to us as he was running by. It was pretty funny!

My Little T.V. Stars

Well we made it. I dragged the boys out of bed at 5:30 so we could go down to the Dinosaur Park and let the boys be on Channel 2 News. They had a lot of fun, other than having to get up way too early. They even got to invite some of their best friends to be on t.v. with them. Here is Jaimin and Casey Scott. Jaimin thought he was pretty cool holding the mic.

They were on a few different segments. Here is a picture of them on one of their last ones. As you can tell Jones is a little camera shy. Jaimin on the other hand is completely opposite he just goes with the flow and is happy to do it. Anyway they thought they were pretty cool.

Hey if anyone is awake around 6am tomorrow watch channel 2 news. My boys will be on between 6 and 8. I believe the first time will be at 6:15.

My sweet Jaimin!

As many of you know Jaimin goes to preschool everyday. Well one day when I was dropping him off I noticed him turn around when he got to the doors so I decided to stay and watch. He walked over to the back of one of the buses and waited for a minute. Then I noticed he was watching a little boy named T.J. get off the bus. T.J. is wheelchair bound and really can't do anything on his own except hold his head up. As soon as T.J. was off the bus Jaimin got behind him and very carefully pushed him into the classroom. I thought it was very cute and assumed that Jai was excited about pushing a wheelchair. Well a few days later one of the teachers came to me and told me that Jaimin had tried to play with T.J. and how cute he was. A week or two later when I went to pick up Jaimin two of Jaimin's teachers came to talk to me. They gave me these two pictures and told me that every day the this little boy is at preschool Jaimin is sure to set aside some of his play time to spend interacting with T.J.. They said it was the cutest thing they had seen and that Jaimin was always so sweet to T.J.. As you can see from the pictures they are both laughing and having fun. It almost brought me to tears to hear that my little Jaimin was playing with this little boy who really could use a friend. Every time Jaimin sees these pictures he gets giggly. I hope he will always be able to look past peoples differences and treat everyone with love.

Sunday after dinner we decided to head up to Snowbasin to see if the colors were changing. Well they have started to change but not as much as we were hoping. We were just able to go for a short hike before it got dark. We keep forgetting how early it starts to get dark. We attempted to get a few pictures but surprise, surprise the boys were not in the mood.

Here is Mark being a nice daddy. Both boys were not in the mood to walk, Jones' foot was hurting ( due to a football accident, and yes the one that he broke ) and Jaimin never likes to walk very far but after falling into a pile of cow manure he decided he was done.
