The Party!

We had Judd's birthday party at the skating rink. It is really hard to come up with somewhere for a party this time of year. This seemed to be the perfect place. It was super easy. There was no preparation and no clean-up! I think everyone had a good time skating or trying to skate! Judd sure enjoyed it! I had already planned a barnyard theme before I decided to have it there, but it worked out okay.



Judd and his cake that Jean Jean made him! He loved it. In this picture, he is eyeing that chicken on top of the barn. Right after I snapped this shot he grabbed it and put it in this mouth!

She did such a good job! Blaine had a similar one for his 1st birthday.

Singing Happy Birthday.

It took him a minute to blow out the candle! I think he was just a little shy.

Opening his presents...

he loved everything he got... he also got money (over $120)!!!

Gettting ready to skate.

Baby Piper wasn't quite old enough to skate!

Blaine didn't feel too well during the party. I was up alot Saturday night coughing. I had given cough syrup before we went, so he was having a hard time holding his head up.

Jenny and Ben gave it a shot--Jenny could skate good!

Judd's Birthday

Monday night we had a little party since it was Judd's birthday! I picked up a cake and we had ice cream and Judd opened his presents from us. I think he actually knew it was his special day!

I'm not sure what the deal it with him holding his hands up for pictures. He has done it several times lately! Who knows!?!

He got something new to ride!

Birthday Boy!

Here are some pictures from our little birthday photo shoot. We tried to take some outside, but it was way too cold, so we moved inside. Here a few of the ones I liked...

I tried to get a cute one of both Blaine and Judd, but it just did not work... Judd stuck it tongue out at me!

Happy 2010!

We spent New Years Eve with friends! Phillip, Jennifer, and Harley Grace recently bought and moved in a very nice house!

The kids had the best time playing upstairs.

Jake tickling Judd!

Eating the good food Jennifer cooked!

Judd loved the fireworks!

It was a very cold night!

Miss Neely and those big blue eyes!

A loud one!

Judd acting silly with his new cap on. He just had to wear it! Blaine got one just like it for Christmas also, but is not quite as carried away with it as Judd is!

I have to admit that we weren't able to stay up for the new year! Neal and I had been up since before 5 that morning and were exhausted! Neal had to get up early (6:00) Friday morning also. The boys fell asleep on the way home, Neal went to bed about 10:30, and I went around 11:30.

Papa Z's Christmas

Saturday night we had Christmas with Papa Z and Gran. We had shrimp, sandwiches, hamburgers, and hotdogs.

Papa Z and the boys.

Opening presents

The boys got several new dvd's to watch!

Judd acting silly!

Well, I think this is my last Christmas post. I did leave one of my family get-together out. For some reason I didn't take any pictures. Next will be birthday and new year's pictures.
