Jamo...

View of Houston

The day before Jeff started his job a week ago, we toured the area and went to the tallest building in Houston (and Texas), the Chase tower. It is more than 70 stories tall, and they have a observation deck on the 60th so you get some pretty amazing views of Houston.

2010!!

For New Year's Eve we went to Jeff's sisters house and had a family party. We played games, ate food, had a white elephant gift exchange, roasted marshmallows at a bonfire, lit some firecrackers (Jeff blew up an orange and tomato), and rang in the new year with Dick Clark's countdown!

Roasting marshmallows on our huge New Year's Eve bonfire!

Exhausted from all of the festivities - we crashed after midnight hit!

Jeff's parents were in town for the holidays, and one of the benefits of having family in town is taking them to all our favorite restaurants. One of our favorites is Smashburger. Best burgers on earth! Lucky for us it also happens to be across the street from our place.

We also got to go to a Rockets game with Jeff's parents. Jamo loved hanging out with his Grandpa and Grandma

Jamisen's first NBA game. He just kept looking around everywhere, and loved all the lights

Christmas in Cali

We had such a great Christmas visiting family in California! Jamisen and I went early while Jeff stayed in Houston to finish up classes. He did so well on the plane rides there and back. We had an action packed time with lots of family to see and things to do! Here are some of my favorite pictures from our trip.

I love this close up of him in his little sweater vest!

Christmas Eve with all the cousins. Sadly, this is the best picture we could get of all of them. It's impossible trying to get 5 kids to smile at the same time! Jamisen played the part of baby Jesus in our Nativity that night.

Christmas morning - He had cute santa pajamas with a little robe to go over them!Meeting Santa for the first time -Not sure what to think about it.

Making gingerbread houses. As you can tell he was so enthralled with the process

Jeff's sister and her family visited for a day on their way to Monterey. Here's Jeff and Hunter looking too cool in front of the Viper. They loved taking it for a joy ride!

Eating at Dog House Grill. The best tri-tip sandwiches in Fresno

Too cute for words! My little Gap baby

Jamisen went to his first BYU game when Fresno State played BYU. He cheered the Cougars to victory and later that week watched the Bowl game on TV with Jeff. Never too young to start brainwashing, right?! haha

All the girls in the family at our annual Progressive Dinner.

Sound asleep on the way home. Jeff snapped this picture of us passed out. I'm pretty sure I was drolling on his head! :)
