American Idol's Biggest (Or at Least Cutest) Fan

Nathan and I often watch American Idol together in the evenings. He sits and plays with his toys during talking and commercials, but when the singing starts, (good or terrible) he watches with extreme intent. Watch out Simon, Paula and Randy (and the new girl)! American Idol Season 24 here we come!!!

I LOOOOOVE Jammies!!!!

These are Anna's favorites pajamas. She wears them several times a week, and I often have to dig them out of the dirty clothes when she won't settle for another pair. Tonight she saw me get them out and said, "Mommy, I wanna go to bed. I LOOOOOOVE jammies!!!" It was seriously one of the cutest things ever.

Let Me Out!!!

Today me and Anna were playing in Nathan's room while he was drinking a bottle in his crib. After awhile I looked up and saw him peeking at us over the crib bumper. It was so cute! He didn't want to miss out on all the fun!

Nathan Loves to Jump

Yes, this is yet another video of Nathan doing something cute. What can I say? I'm a mom!!

Socks

Anna put on a pair of my socks the other day while I was folding laundry. I just thought it was cute. She was so proud of herself, as you can see in the top picture.

Please Daddy?

Tonight Nathan sat and stared at Blair while he ate ice cream. You could just see the longing in his eyes. Poor little guy. Maybe in a few months! (The second picture is the look of frustration and defeat he gave me when he realized Daddy wasn't giving in.)

Big Boy

Nathan is getting so big! He stands up all by himself at his music table.

Anna's Funny Faces

I told Anna to make funny faces for the camera, and this is what she came up with. I am going to tell her she is her father's daughter.

Dork Shots

My kids love it when I make them take self portraits with me. Especially Nathan.

Nathan On the Move

Ok, so it's not quite crawling, but he's getting there!

Cookies? What Cookies???

Laughter

Anna is the only person that can get Nathan to laugh like this. (If you pause the music player at the very bottom of the page you can hear him better.)

Will This Last?

Anna and Nathan are great friends and love playing together. How long will this last? Until Nathan gets old enough to get into Anna's stuff and make her mad? We will see, I guess!

Mommy, I Want an Apple!

Anna will no longer accept sliced apples. No, she wants to dig her teeth into the real thing. Even if it is roughly the size of her head. She chewed on this thing off and on all day long. What can I say? She has her own stubborn, determined mind. Good thing she's so darn cute!

Nathan's Newest, Coolest Trick!

Ok, this is just too darn cute. I might be a little biased though since the stars are my two favorite boys.

Nathan's New Toy

Nathan Loves Carrots

Notice the toothy grin!

Anna's Art Work

Anna wanted her face painted, so she did it herself. With a ballpoint pen.

Happy New Year!!!

\

We rang in the New Year last night with several of our friends from the ward. Anna went to bed early, but Nathan made it all the way to midnight! Thanks everyone for the great party!!!
