We've been busy

We've been busy helping buzz lightyear this week. 3 days at Disneyland have been awesome. More pictures to come next week. We are finishing up our vacation at the beach tomorrow!!

Happenings at the Young House

We have done a lot of playing here at our house lately. We have tried to make the most of the snow and Parker loves to wander through it as I am trying to get him in our car. After Parker's aunt Cindy took him to the store he had to play with his new digging truck outside. Even if it was cold. Soon enough his hands were too cold to stay outside anymore.

Nixon has started enjoying his jumper.

Nathan taught the boys how to make the famous Young family peanut butter rice krispies. They are yummy!

We had our first family movie night a few weeks ago. It was soo much fun. We watched Kung Fu Panda. I think Parker liked the popcorn more than the movie but he would watch it every few min.

And we have mostly just been hanging out around our house having fun.

Isn't his face just so cute??

Rock Band

We had a few friends over tonight to play rock band. Here are the highlights. Enjoy

FYI Nathan is the one singing. Felipe is laughing the loudest in the middle on the guitar and Dave is on the drums. Thanks for coming over guys it was fun!

Dear Nathan

Dear Nathan,
Last night I noticed you were worried about Nixon. You thought he had contracted the extremely rare "lean to the right" syndrome. Today I tried to pay extra notice to him to make sure that it didn't become more serious. I am happy to report that while you have been to work he has started favoring his left side. Now you don't need to worry about his right side any more. It seems he is a baby and doesn't quite have the muscle strength to hold him self upright for very long. We do appreciate your worries though!

Love Celiece and Nixon
and while we are talking about Nathan I have to mention that he might just be the luckiest guy in the world. Two nights ago I washed my hair but didn't have the energy to dry it so yesterday morning he woke up to this......I'm looking for a biggest hair contest. please let me know if you find one!!

Parkers 2nd Birthday

Two years ago today almost to the min I got to hold my little boy for the first time. He was born at 8:31 pm but because I had to go to a c-section I had to wait. He was so precious. I have loved every minute of these two years. I love being a mommy. Tonight we had our families over to have cake and ice cream with us. Thanks to everyone who could come. Also lots of people called to sing to him over the phone or just to wish him a happy birthday. He loved it!


While Parker was napping Nixon and I made his birthday cake. Nixon was then kind enough to take a nap so that I could clean up the mess for the day with two sleeping boys.
And last but not least I think Parker tries to be very grown up on the phone, its really cute. And just for a translation I think he says, Yeah, Yeah yeah yeah Birthday Cake yeah yeah yeah

Nathan bought us a Flip Video recorder a few months ago, we love it. We now use it more than our camera. Its so cute and little and we feel like we can take it every where. I recommend them for everyone! You might notice more videos and less pictures in the future!

Hair Cuts

The lady who cuts Parker's hair just had a baby last week. I thought about calling her numerous times before she had him but I just never did. Last week Parker watched me trim Nathan's rat tail and he seemed fine with the idea of us cutting his hair too so today I went for it! and it turned out ok. I will most likely still have the other lady do it most of the time but now I know in a pinch I can do it too.
This was my before picture. I had actually already cut a little in front and then remembered that I had wanted to take before and after pictures.
This is half way through if you look at the other side of his head in the mirror you can see his hair is still there. I was laughing as I took this picture. Mostly because I was worried he wouldn't let me finish!Tada!! Parker has tons of hair like me so I made him hold it all up. We cut it three months ago and this is how much I cut off today. What a fun memory!I'm guessing Nixon wont need a hair cut for a long long time.

Parker's 1st Snow Day

Nixon has tummy time yesterday while I folded the laundry. He doesn't quite get the activity thing but he will. He is such a good baby!



A few weeks ago we had our first really good snow storm so once Nixon fell asleep I took Parker out to play. He found his sand shovel and pail when I was looking for my gloves. I thought that was a pretty smart idea and now we have two uses for them.
Parker loves to read books at bedtime. We take turns reading to him and sometimes when I read to him Nixon joins us. His favorite book is Mr Brown can Moo.
