James turned 3!

Happy Birthday to James! James was born at 8:09 am so on his birthday we sang Happy Birthday to him at exactly that time and let him open one of his gifts, we are making that a birthday tradition for our boys, luckily ethan was born at 7:54 pm so they both have reasonable times to be sang to and feel special. He turned 3 on February 18th so we had some friends over with their kids to celebrate. James also got to celebrate at his preschool so I made him and his classmates yummy rice crispy treats with his favorite colors, blue and green on them. I seriously can't believe it's been 3 years since we had him...it does go too fast. He's super protective over his brother and such a buddy. We love him so much because he's just so funny and unique, definately saying things that make us laugh so hard we can't stop laughing, tears and all! James amazes us with his bright smile and willingness to help us all day, he's such a helper right now. I'm enjoying every minute of it because I've heard it doesn't last forever. He surprises us with his manners, he consistantly says "good job mom" or "thanks dad...so much" or "your welcome" through out the day. He's too cute right now. We love our little dude!

Ethan wants to be just like James, too cute!

Christmas 2008! Finally....

Well, we're playing catch up on our holidays, christmas was so great this year. Definately our favorite one thus far because James really understood, thanks to pre-pre-school that Santa was coming to town. Christmas eve was so awesome, we read twas the night before christmas and put out cookies, carrots, and milk. It was everything and more that I had imagined doing with my children when they got old enough to understand how fun it can be! Cameron and I loved staying up until 2 in the morning to wrap and tie bows and assemble the bigger gifts. Christmas day we decided to start our own traditions by enjoying staying in our pj's at home and just making memories by playing with all the toys and not rushing from this house to that. We did make it to my moms for a little bit to deliver gifts to all their little cousins, but then went back to our house where we enjoyed a nice candle light dinner. We had guests over and had such an amazing time together, it was the best!

We've been too busy to blog!

Happy Holiday's everyone! Wow, we've been totally busy, I'm sure all of you have been too. We haven't posted pictures in a few months and part of it is because we lost our camera for a whole month and the other part is because I've been undergoing some medical tests, which I finally found out the results of. ( we had a scare with my health, but all is well for now) I feel so behind, I will be posting pictures of Halloween, Thanksgiving. Christmas, and New Years on our next post. There's just not enough time it seems these days. Hope all of you are well and life is great for ya :) Can't wait for the New Year! Yay!

Happy 1st Birthday Ethan!

Well, Ethan turned 1 on September 21st! We had planned a beach party for him down at the San Clemente pier and he got sick with a nasty head cold just two days prior, needless to say we had to call it off. However, the day after we ended up having a little cake and desert celebration with a few family members and neighbors, it was actually Ethan's exact Birthday so it worked out great after all. We decided that even though we had to wipe his nose every 5 seconds, he deserved a little celebration:) I made him a curious george cake, since he dances everytime he hears the music to that cute show, and he enjoyed it thoroughly...followed by a bath and a few gifts ( that he had no interest in opening, so james helped his brother unwrap) We also made him his personalized time capsule, like we did when James turned 1, so he will have something special to open and read on his baptism day in the year 2015! Despite his cold symptoms he still managed to be a trooper through his little celebration and slept in the morning after until 10am! He was exausted. Happy Birthday to mama to! I had Ethan just 4 days after my birthday last year. It's crazy to say that I have two boys, ages 1 & 2!!!! We are so blessed to have them in our lives! They are such amazing boys!

New toys for the churchill boys!

James loves his new radio flyer tricycle (and cars helmet of course) and Ethan loves his new mickey mouse fire truck ( except he pushes it instead of sitting on it, he ONLY wants to walk & run now) We're getting into a new phase of riding toys to the park, it's great. James is learning how to pedal faster now and loves every minute of it, he has so much energy he can run around all day and still be a busy beaver when we get home from the park. Ethan on the other hand is totally energetic as he practically chases James and Buster around the house for a few hours and then takes a great long nap, recharges, and gets up ready to run around again. Too fun!
