Merry Christmas
Aiden
was born on October 31, 2014. Yes you
read that right he is a Halloween baby. I
never expected that to happen. He
weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces. He was 20 inches long and is continuing to grow. He loves to sleep and stare at us with his
dark eyes. He has now found his hands and
sucks on them every once in a while. He
is a really calm baby. He coos often
and loves getting smothered by Tallin.
Tallin
has been busy being a big brother. He
loves to play with Aiden and give him kisses. He also loves to put toys all over him. Tallin loves to play with cars, trains, balls
and anything boyish. He is starting to
talk and understand things that we say to him.
His favorite words right now are no, mama and dada. He also says poop, star, pee, fish, ball, t,
b, i, nose, eyes, ear, teeth, and baby as well as other random words. He is now sleeping in a big boy bed (queen
sized) and does really well. Our next
step is to get him potty trained. He
already goes potty in the toilet and loves to get a jellybean for it. At church he now attends nursery and he
absolutely loves it. We sure love our
little guy and he sure keeps us busy.
Zack
started his second year of medical school. I can tell that this year is a lot harder than
last year. He studies a lot more but he
studies at home, so we get to see him a lot throughout the day. We are pretty lucky. Since Zack is in the Navy he had to go to
annual training this summer. It was in
Rhode Island and he was gone for 6 weeks. He sure learned a lot and made some good
friends. While he was there we went and
stayed with Zack’s parents in Oregon. Tallin
had so much fun getting to know his cousins that live close to Zack’s parents. Zack’s parents, Tallin and I all flew out for
his graduation. After his graduation we
headed to Boston to visit. We had so
much fun!! Zack continues to love to
learn about the medical field. He has
added soccer and hockey to sports he loves to watch in addition to basketball
and football. I have to say I think
there is always a game on at our house. In
our ward Zack was called to be a youth Sunday school teacher. He enjoys working with the youth.
This
year has been a busy one for me. In
February we learned that we would bring another baby into the world. I was beyond excited!!! I have always wanted a
lot of kids. I was then released from my
primary calling and was called to be in charge of the ward missionary meals. We also bought a new van! It is a 2012 Honda Odyssey. We love it and it’s so much easier to haul the
kids around everywhere. I have been busy
trying to figure out how to be a mom of two kids. It’s so much fun, but also a lot of work! I know that I don’t get enough sleep anymore,
my house is not always clean and sometimes we don’t get out of our pajamas, but
I would not trade it for anything.
We
hope you all have a happy holiday!
Love,
Zack,
Nicole, Tallin & Aiden
Here are some Christmas pictures we took.
I love these two boys and I am so thankful that Heavenly Father sent them to our family!
