One of the sweetest couples we know here in Fresno gave the boys these awesome matching ties to wear to church. All 3 boys looked so handsome on Sunday. Thank you Holly and Phil!! P.S. Check out D's MC Hammer Pants-- Hamma time!!!

Never thought we would be playing at the park the day after Christmas. The boys had a blast running around together. Christmas in Cali, love it!

Taden turned 3! He is so big we can't believe it. We celebrated his birthday while we were in Utah with Zane's family. He was so excited to blow out his 3 candles he could hardly stand it. While he was blowing out the candles, he decided it would be fun to personalize his cake with a little bit of his own SPIT! Warning: beware of future birthday cakes that have been touched by 3 yr olds without first knowing where their hands have been: see attached pictures!!

Taden has had bronchitis for awhile now so we finally took him to the doctor and she gave us some meds to help him get rid of his cough. He was so good about holding the nebulizer all by himself for 10 min. at a time. Needless to say, he is feeling much better now. Oh and don't mind Damian attacking my face in the background!! Silly kid.

Check out this shiner!! Taden's very first BLACK EYE! He fell the other night and hit his head on a plastic piece that lines the mattress in our guest room. It brusied immediately. I felt so bad for him. But now he thinks his black eye is cool! What a boy!

This year for our ward christmas party members of our ward were asked to decorate a table. So I thought it would be fun to do one. I decided to go with the naughty or nice theme! I think it turned out pretty cute. Hope you like it!

Zane and Taden had a little boys night out on Friday! They went to the Fresno State vs. BYU basketball game. Taden had such a blast. They sat next to this other father and son, and every time the son would yell something, Taden would copy him and yell louder! He also knows a cheer from one of his cartoons, and he was yelling his cheer at the game! BYU won. The arena wasn't full at all so zane and Taden got to go sit on the 10th row right in the center of the court for only $7. Zane said he saw basically everyone from our ward there! I'm glad they had such a great time.

Our beautiful lights and Christmas tree! The boys,especially Taden, were so excited when we turned the christmas lights on outside! Taden talks about them all the time and he was so much fun decorating the christmas tree! Don't the boys look so sweet in front of our tree!!! It has been so fun getting into the christmas spirit and I can't wait to open presents with Taden this year. He will absolutely love it!

Well we did it!! We are officially done nursing!! Yay, I'm so happy, but as you can see Damian isn't as happy as I am!! Yesterday was the first day we didn't nurse and it was awesome and D did just fine! I'm so proud of him, but I have to admit 15 mths of nursing sure is a long time! Hope you liked my victory dance photos!!! They kind of look like cheerleader pics but the're not, its my Victory Dance!!!

Taden was in his glory with these cute little girls all around him at the mall yesterday!! He LOVES these two little girls. They are his best friends. He even prays for them every night! We had such a fun playdate with them yesterday. The girls names are Kaylin and Breena. We hang out with their parents all the time! We just love their little family!

Even though our Japanese Family was so awesome, we decided to dress the boys a little bit warmer for trick or treating! Everyone was dying over how cute Damian looked in his skunk costume! And Taden loved telling everyone that he was a snake~ I do have to tell you what Taden said at the very first house he went trick or treating to. He walks up, rings the doorbell, says trick or treat please, the guy hands him some candy and zane says " what do you say Taden?" And Taden says, " how bout 10!!!" Zane was trying to get a thank you out of him, while he just wanted 10 more pieces of candy! Funny kid!!

The boys looked so cute and did such a great job keeping their costumes on! They loved trick or treating!

Here are some more pics of the boys having fun trick or treating! And a pic of Taden making sugar cookies at a little get together we had before we went trick or treating.

Here we are, just call us the Japanese Family!! We loved our fun costumes this year! The white makeup is always a little disturbing but it makes the woman's costumes! The boys were such good sports wearing there costumes the whole night!

We had yet another Halloween party to go to! It was so much fun and our costumes this year were so easy and fun! Zane's parents brought back these awesome Kamonos from Japan! I'm sure I totally spelled that wrong but it was awesome to finally get to show them off! So of course we would greet everyone in Japanese!! We had a blast! I couldn't get a good pic of Damian cause he wouldn't sit still but he looked just like Taden!

I think Damian likes pumpkins! He was eating it!
