*Twas the Season*

Here is Jax after a Candy Cane massacre. This year he really got into eating every candy cane he could get his hands on.And we gave ONE to Creed. He ate less than half, but had fun licking and smearing. Luckily we still have our high chair out to confine him at times like this.****************
Christmas Eve we went up to my parents and had a little party with the Williamsen clan. Lots of yummy food and good company. Creed touching things he knows he shouldn't. There is always so much neat stuff at grandma's house.Grandma trying to get a little game of Candyland going. Here the boys are patiently waiting their turn to open a gift. I couldn't believe they sat and waited.********************

Christmas morning, the boys are all smiles while checking out their stockings.It took a few minutes for them to notice these. But they were a fun favorite of the day. Too bad the day before Jax hopped the gate and went down the stairs and found them. We had to tell him that they were mom and dad's surprise for Christmas, not Santa's. We took them over to the church gym to drive them around. I suppose we'll have to do this all winter? They loved it all!Creed showing off his favorite toys.

Well we didn't have any visitors on Christmas, the snow storm kept people at home. But the day after the boys played outside with daddy. Greg had lots of time off work over the holiday and we enjoyed time at home, we went sledding and took the boys to the pool. We loved all the time together. It was so nice.

*Some of my Loves*

Of course I love my boys. I love family. I love where I live. I love seasons. Right now I am really missing summer.Love Family! I don't have an easy access picture of my side of the fam with everyone. But here is my parents with some of their grand children. Here is Greg's side, minus Abe, when everyone gets together it gets loud, not by me though :). And we love them.

I love Kauai. My mom took this great photo. I love it even more when it's a snow storm here like it is today. Which brings me to my next love. If I could pick a great SUV for me to drive it might be an Escalade. I don't have one, but I am glad I have a 4 wheel drive to get me around on the bad snowy roads like today. I love just clicking the 4x4 high button that helps give great traction and I can make it up the UN-snowplowed hills in the neighborhood.

I love chocolate. I always have some on hand. And now I have my boys addicted too. Creed knows right where to go to get one. Can't go wrong with Hershey's.

I love cereal. I think I've said this before, but I could eat it any time, any day! My current new favorite is Cascadian Farm Granola... see below.
I've seen similar things on others blogs, kinda fun to do. But maybe I just wasted a half hour of my afternoon. Oh well. :)

Best Wishes

So it's been a crazy busy time. We had our Christmas season started nicely. Most of the shopping done. Greg and I went to my work party, we got to get dressed up for a nice time.Bubble bath for the boys. It was a spider man bottle. Why did it have a floral sent? Who knows.Play time - Jax being Batman, his friend Carden as Spider man, Creed the "bad guy" to chase around. I stole this photo from the Erickson's, they watched the boys, and organized all the transportation toys. Cute faces.Then everything got put on hold. Greg and I had to do our church ward Christmas party. I lost sleep, stressed a little, ran around trying to get everything ready. It was a Saturday morning breakfast. It turned out well. We had a special visitor. At the last minute my wonderful serving dad was able to be Santa Claus for us. Luckily Jax didn't recognize his grandpa. Thank you so so much dad and mom! I have the best parents ever!

Creed loved it. He wasn't scared or shy, he kept going back to try and get more candy. Here Jax is telling Santa the novel of presents he wants. Jax had no fear either. Loves Santa. Several of the kids were shy or scared. But not the Lorenzon boys.
Our countdown for Christmas begins!

*Lots about Jax*

Time for a little flash back in time. Here is my precious little guy on his first Christmas. He is about 3 weeks old. Sleeping away all cozy.

Here Jax is about 6 months old. It's kind of a blur, but I have this cute picture on a mug.

About the same time, babysitting aunts gave him a mow-hawk, his expression looks like a tough guy. Gosh, he is so cute!

Jax at 18 months. He loved playing with the hose. Still does. In fact, who doesn't?
This was Jan. of 2007. He was just over 2 years old. He got a hold of my mascara and ran and hid to apply it. After he did his eyes he then did our carpet. It cleaned up pretty good. I got to it when it was still a little moist. Phew!

*************************************

And now he is 4!! Time goes by so fast. Looking at all the older pictures of him to put on here, makes me miss when he was so little. He is such a big boy. He will tell you.

Here on Tuesday in the morning Jax is opening his favorite toy ever, the Transformer, Optimus Prime. By the end of the day he could transform him all by himself. I am a pro at it myself.

Preschool he was king for the day! He had such a great day, he kept telling me. I told him he'd have a little party after dinner when it's dark outside. So all day long, like 15 times, asking is it night time yet? He was so excited.

Here he is patiently waiting to blow out the candles. He could hardly hold back! Blowing them out. He wanted to put them on his own cake, we tried lighting it several times, he kept blowing them out too soon. Creed loved the cake! He turned into an animal and wanted more, even the plate!
Presents, balloons, party, and his Oreo cake. He loves Oreo's, but I hardly ever let him eat any. He just eats the cream and makes such a mess.

Jax is so much fun to have around. He is such a mini Greg. He loves talking, he always has something to tell me. He is always wanting to play and have us play with him. He is my life. We love him!
