My XMAS in 2 places

So, there are pictures from my first stop in San Antonio, TX with the family and of course baby Zachary! What a good looking family!! If you look closely enough at the next picture, Zachary has a wedgie!!! HAHA



Then, there are pictures in Salt Spring, Canada with Richard's brother Philip, sister-in-law Suzanne, and neice Gabrielle. It is such a great location with a great view and fun island life! We opened the XMAS poppers and of course they each have a crown that you have to wear during the day!

Merry Christmas!

Last night, we went to the Children's Mass for the first time, and it was so nice. Contrary to what you might think, Zachary was very well behaved. Here is our annual picture in front of the Christmas Tree...this time with a baby to boot!





Christmas morning brought Zachary lots of shiny packages to look at, and of course the lights on the Tree.

Unlike the Boone's, we will not be having a White Christmas this year. It's t-shirt weather.
We aren't having Naked Turkey today, but Prime Rib instead. We sure are thankful to have this blog to stay in touch and share pictures. Zachary had a wonderful first Christmas, thanks to his loving Aunts, Uncles, Mommy, Daddy, and Santa of course!

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

Just as Brandon predicted....it's snowing in Portland. Here are some views of the white stuff. First one is out of the bedroom window, then the back yard and the BBQ where you can't even read that it says Weber! They are saying we might get as much as 4" by the end of the day tomorrow. A real life White Christmas!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! We are having a quiet Christmas here in Oregon!!! Just me and Kevin and Mookie!! But we are having a nice time. Mookie had fun getting into his stocking and I made a pumpkin pie for dessert tonight. We even went out for a walk since the weather was nice enough to stop raining for a few hours!! We were laughing because our tree hasn't been this empty underneath for a few years! We usually have a bunch of stuff that we are taking up to Kevin's brothers. But I think we did alright for ourselves. I hope everyone is having a good Christmas and I will talk to you soon!!

I'll "B" Home for Christmas....

Just thought I'd share some of the holiday touches around our house this Christmas. I even made some gingerbread men today. No fruitcake though!!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Pool Party

Zachary attended his first birthday party over the weekend. It was an indoor pool party for Kendall. The temperature that day was 81 so it could have been celebrated outdoors. Zachary had fun swimming around.


We also dunked him under the water as evidenced by the video below. He liked it the first two times.

Then we just let him float on his back.

Happy Freezing!
