Silver Falls Weekend

Watch out, Dominic has a snowball! Poor Paxton is like Randy off of "A Christmas Story" "I can't get up, Ralphie!"

"I'm standing, no one touch me!" LOL

He just couldn't quite make it to the festival awake

Saturday morning, Dominic loves when they wear matching jammies!

All ready to take a shower with daddy!

Silver Falls Christmas Festival (12/13/08)

On our way to the main lodge for the Christmas Festival. This is the day use swimming area. I asked Dominic if he wanted to go swimming and he said "no thank you."

We stopped to take a break, okay we stopped to take a picture! That is what happens when your mom is a picture taking maniac!

Boy have I trained him well! LOL

Cookies and hot cocoa, what could be better then this?

Richard is holding the wreath he, that's right I said he, made! I think he did a great job!

Silver Falls Cont... (12/13/2008)

Paxton loved Dominic's bed

Daddy and Dominic hanging out in our cabin. They were sharing a piece of black licorice.

Richard's new little friend. He decided he was going to come visit our garbage on the porch and was not shy with people! He was great entertainment.

Family dinner

Paxton likes to put Dominic's boots on, even if it is backwards!

Sunday morning (12/14/08)

Here is what the truck looked like when we woke up on Sunday morning.
Dominic really wanted to make a snowman, so we had to make one before we left. Here he is helping, he really wanted to wear daddy's working gloves!

Yep, that's about all Paxton could do was just sit there. Every time he tried to get up he would just fall down so he mostly watched!

Here we are with our new friend, Mister Snowman!

This is the North Falls at Silver Falls (I think). We stopped to take a picture as we were on our way home.

Christmas Fun

Wrapped in lights!

Paxton thought it was more fun to try to eat the ornaments then put them on the tree.
Dominic loves wearing the Santa hat.

Paxton likes to put in the hat on but not for very long.

The boys showing off their Christmas jammies!

Thanksgiving, Santa, & Family

The Squires Men on Thanksgiving night. I forgot my camera so all I have are pictures from once we got home.

Mommy and her boys on Thanksgiving Night!

Dominic loved sitting on Santa's lap, Paxton on the other hand wasn't too sure but lasted long enough to get a good picture!

We took a family picture once we got home from seeing Santa


Here is Trinity with the blanket that I made her. No that is not a typo, I made the blanket!

Dominic's Preschool Thanksgiving Party

Dominic singing along with the teacher

Aunt Janet was here visiting from Colorado so she came to the party!

Paxton laid down on the rug all on his own and Aunt Janet laid down with him!

Daddy took a long lunch so he could come to the party, it was great!

Dominic was one of the only kids that was actually singing with the teacher!
Here is his whole class singing the turkey song!

Mid November

Look at me, I'm in a bag!

Paxton in a bag! He was laughing even harder when daddy picked him up in it!

Dominic is a good helper! He loves to help daddy mow the yard!


We love bath time!

Dominic loves bubble baths!

Paxton just loves the bath!

What a couple of cuties!

Dominic is a camera kid!

Better get to washing, nice face!
