Best Friends

Here are some recent pictures of Jamie with his close buddies. Mia and Jacob are both 3 years old and Jamie and Katie are both 1 1/2 years old and they all play great together. It is so cute to see them play. They get so excited when they first see each other and while Mia and Jacob actually play with one another, Jamie and Katie follow each other around. Jamie has met some other little girls in the past few months but as you can tell from the pictures little Katie still has his heart!

"I love you!"

Hope has Arrived!

We have been very excited for this day to come and surprisingly Jamie was very interested in President Obama's Inaugural Address. He actually came running over to the TV when he first heard Aretha Franklin sing and then when President Obama began his speech!

Listening to President Obama's Speech!


Looking back at the TV when Obama was talking about bringing our country together and nations around the world together.

Jumping up and down when the crowd was clapping and saying, "Obama...Obama...Obama."

Finally, sitting down and listening to the last few min. of the speech.

20 Months Old!

Jamie is now 20 months old and having lots of fun! His daily schedule consists of eating (he LOVES strawberries), sleeping (still takes 2/12 - 3 hour naps!), playing outside with balls, Joey and his truck and taking daily walks in his car.....what a life! Here are a few of his favorite things to do......

So determined!


Watch me kick the ball daddy!

Living the good life. :)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We spent the New Year's at Palm Springs and Jamie's Uncle Jason, Aunt Katie and Aunt Melanie all drove over and joined us and my parents for 4 days. We had a great time! Jamie loved all of his new playmates, especially his uncle Jay, and Jeremy and I enjoyed getting a bit of a break since we had so much family around to entertain Jamie. :) New Year's Eve my parents stayed at the hotel with Jamie and Jeremy and I actually went out for the evening with my sisters and brother. We had such a great time and I really treasured the night since it's not that often that just us "kids" go out for the night. Thank you mom and dad for watching the little guy! We hope you had a great New Year's as well and here's to health and happiness in 2009!

the food he ate at dinner!

How cute....you can tell he thinks his uncle Jay is great!

Happy boy....

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year! We all slept in (thank you son!) and enjoyed a great breakfast that Jeremy cooked for us. We then stayed in our PJ's and opened gifts from Santa. Santa brought a few gifts for Jamie this year but once Jamie saw the wagon with blocks, he was done....he played with this all morning! Jeremy and I ended up opening the rest of his gifts and setting them all up for him. He would come back in the playroom throughout the morning to check out what we were doing now and then but for the most part he just pushed and pulled his wagon everywhere!

Later in the day we went over to my parent's house and opened some more gifts and had a very yummy dinner that Poppi made. We were so happy that my sister made the trip down here from LA for Christmas and enjoyed our time with her this past weekend. We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!


So tired after all the excitement of the day!

Jamie's favorite gift this year!

Playing with his aunt Melanie.

This is what he would do every time he opened a gift....he'd climb on it!

Sledding Video

Let is Snow...Let it Snow...Let it Snow

This past week the high country got snow so yesterday we loaded up the SUV and headed up north to Flagstaff to take Jamie to the snow for the first time. As you can see from the first picture he wasn't very fond of the actual snow but he LOVED sledding with Jeremy! He was a bit unsure as we were loading him up into the sled but as soon as they went down the hill he was smiling and laughing. We actually spent about 2 1/2 hours sledding! Next year we plan to take him skiing since he seemed to enjoy going down the hill so much....we can't wait!


I wasn't quick enough putting on his gloves so he ended up grabbing a big handful of snow and this was he thought about that!


Here he is trying to walk in the snow and I'm right beside him....I was afarid he was going to fall down again.



Look dad....snow!

Relaxing...being pulled by daddy at the sled park.
