Christmas Eve with the Judd's and O'Brien's

We had my family here for Christmas Eve dinner and games. We enjoyed having mom and dad and Tim here for a quick visit...and then saw them again on Christmas day at their house. The boys enjoyed getting to open that one present before they went off to bed and Santa came to visit.

The Pettis visit on Christmas Eve

Big Steve, Sheila, Lil' Steve, Susie and baby Eden all came up for a visit on the 23rd until the morning of the 24th. We had such a wonderful time hanging out, catching up, opening some presents and meeting baby Eden who just turned 6 months. We love to have our family come and visit...it is such a joy.

Santa was hard at work

John and Brian worked hard to get the boys train table put together on Christmas Eve...we had to listen carefully at all times because we never know when Zach is going to wake up and get out of bed to come and see us.....

Picking out our Christmas tree

We had such fun going to pick out our Christmas tree this year....especially since Zach wanted to take each and every one of them home with us. He found a couple of pieces of pine on the ground and proceeded to drag it around with him and also bring it home. What fun!!!

Church day

I have had these shirts for a bit and decided it would be fun to have the boys play look alike today for church....

Mason's birthday party

Zach's personally decorated cape

Getting ready to go track down the super villan

Spraying the Super Villan (ie. Joe Clark) with silly string and toilet paper

Dadddy having a bit of fun with Ethan and the sticky stars

Zach loved drawing on the sidewalk with the chalk

We went to Mason Clark's 4th birthday party today...Zach got to be a superhero and he had a blast!!!! They decorated superhero capes and got to run around a lot!!!!

Playing outside in the pool

Grandpa & Grandma gave him a minature harmonica.....he loves it!!!!!!!

The boys decided that they wanted to play outside in the dry pool one afternoon...it was pretty funny to watch them crawl in and out and in and out. Then mommy had to drag them around the backyard and watch them fall out. :-)

We are all caught up

So I had gotten away from posting on the blog for a while and finally took the time to catch us up.... If you are interested in seeing what has been going on in our lives over the last several months you can start in July (yes, that far back) and take a look....

Oh, by the way, we are going to be having a baby girl around April 2nd.....that was the biggest news in the Judd family lately!!!

We love you all
Heather

Ethan at 11 months

Ethan

Zach

Ethan is moving around and pulling himself up so much that it is hard to get pictures of him sitting still...but this definitely show what a little imp he is....

Halloween 2008

This seems to be Ethan's favorite face....that bottom lip is always in his mouth

Firefighters need fuel to keep them going

Zach loved getting his candy...even on a cold and rainy night

Best buddies...Jacob and Ethan just hanging out

Gotta refuel after running around getting all that candy

Notice Zach trying to get in on Justins candy??

We joined our friends at the Heilners for a great evening of food and trick-or-treating in Natomas. The boys really enjoyed themselves and Zach talks about wanting to go again every day!
