Lucas is 3 months

Well our baby boy is 3 months now. He is starting to do lots of new things. He rolls over, giggles, and smiles like crazy (esp. if someone is looking). Last night while I was laying with him in my bed and the light was dimmed, he was wide awake and I was acting like I was asleep, he kept smiling at me to get a reaction, then he would do a raspberry and wait for a reaction, then he would coo. It was too cute. I couldn't stop laughing. He is definitely learning what gets attention. We love this little guy to pieces!

Sorry it has taken so long to post. Here are some pics of our fun day taking Enzo to the train museum in Sacramento. We had a lot of fun. We went while Kaelyn was at school to let Enzo have his own day. For his birthday presents we let him pick a few things from the gift shop. He picked James a train from the stories of Thomas, a Steamliner train that goes around his tracks by itself.. its pretty cool, and a train whistle. He had a great time and cried when we left. Im glad that we were able to share this special day with him!

Lucas blessed and Enzo's birthday

This is a pretty good picture with how many people we had. Almost everyone is looking at the camera





Sunday Lucas was given a name and a blessing by Mark. It started really nice and then Lucas started crying and would not stop. Mark couldn't think because Lucas was screaming SO LOUD. So it had to be short and sweet. We just figure he got the important stuff down and he can give him a fathers blessing another day :) We were so grateful to have our family come from all over to join us in this special day.




Since everyone was over and together we thought it would be nice to celebrate Enzo's b-day a few days early. I love this picture of him looking up at his cake! He's been waiting for the day to blow out his own candles on his cake. Every time I have a candle lit he sings "Happy Birthday to you" and blows out my candle. It can get pretty annoying!! For Enzos birthday we took him to the train museum in Sacramento so I will post pics of it soon

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year full of new traditions that we are hoping to keep. The night before Christmas Eve we went to our neighbors and Christmas caroled and took them some sweets. We sang songs that the kids had been singing the whole month so we wouldn't have to sing alone. We hope its something that we can continue for years to come. Sorry no pics.

The week of Christmas we got together with my sister and made sugar cookies and let the kids decorate them. It was funny how we had totally forgotten how sticky and messy it was. But it was a lot of fun. The kids loved it!

We had a great Christmas with the kids this year. Mark had Christmas Eve off so we were able to have him Christmas morning. The kids woke up and saw that Enzo had gotten a huge train table. Enzo almost had a heart attack from being so excited. He kept screaming "TRAINS"!. "TRAIN TRACKS"!!! "SOOO COOOL"!! Poor Kaelyn thought that Santa didnt bring her any presents because all you could see was Enzos train table. I showed her her presents and she was so happy and her response was "I was naughty and I still got presents" Yeah I had no idea what to say back.. hopefully she will forget and we can use it as bribery next year. Kaelyn got a pink leapster 2, a Hannah montana guitar and a few other things. Along with his train table Enzo got a buzz lightyear from santa. One of his favorite toys now also is his car hauler truck From Aunt Melanie and Uncle Joel. He loves it!



We had a great Christmas this year and are happy to start the new year with new resolutions and more memories.

Christmas Sunday

The kids looked so cute today for church so of course I had to take some pics of them!

Kaelyns Christmas Program

Kaelyn had her first Christmas program yesterday. They sang Jingle Bells and We wish you a Merry Christmas. I would of liked to take a picture of her singing, but for some reason she ended up in the very back and I couldnt see her at all. So afterwards I ran outside and this is what I got.

Whats been going on???

Well its been awhile since I posted. Its been really hard to get some time in to post when Lucas likes to be held all day :)I thought I would fill in what are family has been up to in the last month or so.
In November right before Thanksgiving Mark was asked by Kaelyns teacher to talk to all the kindergarten classes about his job, and being safe It was really neat to see 125 kids all excited to see him. It seemed like they all had their hands raised to say a comment or had a question to ask him. He had a blast and I hope he has the opportunity to do it again!





Well Lucas is a month old now and to me he doesn't really seem like a newborn anymore. Hes growing way to quick. At his 1 month appt he weighed 9lbs 10oz.(what Mark weighed when he was born)

Lucas has been an ok baby considering he has colic. It breaks my heart every time he cries in pain. Good thing the Dr is trying to get him better. Kaelyn and Enzo love him so much and give him hugs and kisses all day. Kaelyn yesterday said "I wish Lucas was my baby". Enzo is learning everyday how to be more gentle when he tries to help. He loves to shhh the baby while putting his lips to Lucas' face. When he gives the baby the binky and Lucas stops cryin hes proud of himself and yells "Yay I did it"

Last Saturday Marks work put on a Christmas party for all the kids of CHP officers and told us we could bring along any family members and their kids. It was really neat. They had all sorts of things like Fire trucks for the kids to play in, a school bus came, a CHP Motorcycle to sit on, and the CHP Helicopter came and landed right on the parking lot. After lunch they had Santa Claus arrive in the CHP Charger with the Sirens on.It was super cute!! Then he let each kid come and sit on his lap and gave them a gift (which we had given to the office before hand so it really looked like Santa had brought it.) Our kids had to wait awhile before their name was called but their face just lit up when they heard their name.









We have had a lot of fun so far this Christmas and we cant wait for more excitement!! I will try to keep up the posting!!
