Christmas 2010



We had a great Christmas. We went to my mom's house. Here's Ezra in his Christmas jammies pointing out his hair. Also, check out his mad balancing skills (cereal bar pieces balanced on top of cup).Opening presents at home before leaving for mom's.
It's hard to exaggerate how much Ezra loves books these days. I found him in the middle of the hallway. He saw a book on the floor and had to stop to sit and read it.
My mom lives out in the country, right across the street from my grandparents' old house. While we were there we wandered around the land and went to a place that my mom and her friends used to call the "badlands" when she was growing up where they used to go and find fossils (her grandparents lived on that same land too). Her neighbor leases the land to raise cattle, and here are a few checking us out as we head to the badlands. On another note, we also walked back on the property behind grandmother & granddad's old barn, and found the big tank where my grandmother used to take me to fish. Fun memories.
Ezra didn't last long in the wagon.
Cousins: My sister's three kids, Bonnie, Kellen, and Noelle, and Ezra. This was seriously the best picture I got of them all weekend. Kellen and Bonnie are pretty compliant but the other two are a different story.


We found some fossils! Success!Walking back from the badlands



I found a lion and t-rex in the dollar clearance section at target for Ezra. He loves playing with them and especially growling like them.

The second video is nothing special...just a documentation of Ezra in his toddling phase. The third one shows how much fun Ezra had with his oldest cousin, Kellen. Kellen was a great Ezra entertainer. They loved playing together.

What a cute little reader he is! And is that an "I ran with the Marines" t-shirt?
