Rose Bowl 2015- Happy New Year!

Matt and I traveled south to LA to cheer on the Ducks in the Rose Bowl! We landed at midnight, so we celebrated New Years on a plane. :) Other than my nasty cold/sinus infection, we had a great two days away. And the Ducks beat Florida State for the win! Yay! 

I didn't take my camera with me but managed to snap some pics with my phone. :)

We tailgated with Andrew and Yvonne… it was a lot of fun!



Here come the Ducks!






Matt was adamant on purchasing a bacon wrapped hotdog outside of the stadium… This prego didn't oblige. HA!


Go Ducks! 

Hudson had fun with his Grandparents while we were gone. :) 

Happy New Year!

Bowling with the Robisons

A few days after Christmas, we met the Robisons at the Bowling alley. Boy did Hudson LOVE it! He still talks about the dinosaur he pushed his ball off of. :) It's also really cute to watch him demonstrate how Matt and Bapa bowl and then how he does. 



Julian proud of his bowl

Matt and his dad bowling

Jamie and Josh too

His pose after each bowl… ha! 


This picture makes me laugh… Julian was quite the poser too. :)

Waiting his turn… hopefully this summer he'll be able to wear bowling shoes. He's a size to small right now. 


"Shaber"

Hudson loves watching Matt "shabe" (shave) his beard… and so I knew a shaving kit would be a hit with him. We put it to use the day after Christmas. I also love that he calls it a shaber. ;)


First the cream...

...then the "shaber"


…and you can't forget to watch yourself in the mirror ;)

Christmas!

Christmas day was spent with my family and such a special time! We woke up at my in-laws and headed over to my parents house to open presents with my sisters and their families. Then to breakfast across the street at the Staggs… a yearly tradition. :)   The little boys had fun playing with Lily's new puzzle and then watched a few toy fish swim in the pool with the big kids (adults). :)


Opening presents…. "tooties" (cookies)

A new shopping cart :)

Cousins… Lincoln and Hudson liked watching Sophia play on her new DS

Girls in our new leggings :)

Watching the fish in the pool… both kids and adults were entertained by this. 


Later Christmas day we headed to my sister, Shannon's house and celebrated with family from both my mom and dads side of the family.

Walker, Hudson and Lincoln

The Saturday after Christmas, Hudson came down to his stocking and present from Santa. A new red kitchen that he was very excited about.

New Thomas underwear in his stocking


His new kitchen with a goodbye letter from "Elf"… he looks unsure but was really excited :)

Calling "Elf" and Santa at the North Pole… he's done this many times and it's so cute!

Happy Birthday Jesus!


Christmas Eve 2014

Our Christmas was amazing this year… one that I will never forget. It's the last one for our little family of three and that is bittersweet. I'm thrilled and beyond blessed our family is growing, but life for everyone will change when little sister arrives. :)

We worshiped and celebrated Jesus' birth with our families at Beaverton Foursquare's candlelight service, always a favorite! I'm thankful to attend and be apart of such an amazing community of Jesus followers.



My family after the service… love them!

It's blurry but still captures our little family in this season of life.

Cousins… always as cute as can be!


After church we headed to my in-laws for the night. My mother in-law (with the help of her husband) made a fantastic dinner.

Hudson with his Doo Bapas and Doo Ramma… he's a lucky little man!

My sister in-law Jamie is apart of our church's worship team… she's amazing! While waiting for her and Josh, Hudson opened a few presents. After each present he would say "more, more"… I think he liked the idea of opening the presents even though he sounded a bit greedy. ;)


Tickles from Ramma Tim (Kim)

…and Bapa Jim

Happy Boy!

The table scape Kim set up was great! 

Praying :)

Trying out his new "dooder" (scooter)




One more attempt at a family picture. :)

It was a wonderful Christmas Eve, shared with all the people we love!
