Second Grade

Jake had his first day of school on August 22nd. It is hard to believe he is already in second grade. He is liking school so far and I think this is going to be a great year!

Austin was feeling left out and wanted to be in the pictures too.

January 2011

For the month of January we enjoyed:

Playing (pounding on) the piano.

Playing with Little People- Emma loves these toys.

Taking naps - Although I wish more of the naps could have been for mom.

Playing trains - Austin's favorite thing to do.

Riding bikes when the ground wasn't covered in snow.

Having movie nights.

And the best part of January was going to Spain. We took over 1800 pictures. So I will have to post some.

Austin's Birthday

Austin turned 4 way back on December 28! I can't believe that my little guy is already four. He is such a cute kid and keeps me busy. We sure love our Austin!!!

Christmas came to our house!

Christmas morning the kids got up just before 7. I realized later that I didn't take very many pictures. But here is what I got. The lighting was bad and I didn't take the time to do an editing, but they are on the blog!

They are so excited! All three kids got sunglasses in their stockings. Jake and Emma were thrilled with the sunglasses, Austin wasn't so much. He was hoping Santa brought him some trains!

Austin didn't want to open the present that was clearly a book. I finally talked him into in and he was so excited! Santa brought him a Polar Express book. Austin loves trains and love the Polar Express movie!

Santa brought Jake a scooter.

I gave Aaron a picture of the kids for his office.

Emma loves baby dolls. I thought this doll looked a lot like her- blue eyes and blond hair.



Around 2 we went over to Caldwell to be with Aaron's family. We had prime rib, baked potatoes, salad, homemade rolls, and corn. It was delicious! I think the prime rib is Aaron's favorite part of Christmas.

Jake and his cousin, Kjari. They had such a fun time together. I just thought this picture was so cute. (Notice only the roll on Jake's plate- all he had for dinner was 6 rolls! I have such picky eaters!)

Merry Christmas from the Seables

Christmas Craft

I saw this cute idea online and had to give it a try. It turned out so cute! We gave this to Aaron's parents for Christmas.

Attempts

After church one Sunday the first of December I tried to get a good picture to use for our Christmas card. I was not successful at all. Jake was trying to take his shirt off and make it into a cap and Austin wouldn't leave Emma alone. Emma has started pointing her finger at Austin and telling him to go to his room.

I almost used this one, but Jake is being a stinker. He was mad about his shirt.

You've Got A Friend in Me!

Uncle Brian

My kids love their Uncle Brian. I just love these pictures from our trip to Utah.

Thanksgiving in Utah

We went down to Utah for Thanksgiving and had the best time with my family. Sadly I didn't get a picture of us all at Thanksgiving dinner. But here are some pictures from the day. My parents came up from Texas and we all stayed in my grandparents old house, which my parents now own. It was a really crowded house, but it was so great to spend time together.

Brian's future Brother-in-law Sam and his family just moved from Spain to Utah. They joined us from Thanksgiving. It was so great to meet some of Noemi's family and spend some time with them. Sam and Isabelle have a daughter named Emma also, who is only 6 months old than our Emma.

Emma Seable and Emma Lopez- They both love baby dolls.

Jake loves to make silly faces for all my pictures. I am sure he gets this from his Grandpa Pickup.

I love Uncle Dewey and Emma in this picture- so cute!
