Christmas Pictures

So finally, Christmas pictures! We all had a wonderful Christmas and Hannah especially received lots of fun and wonderful presents. Although we were all a little under the weather, it was nice have a quiet family christmas at home. Hannah was a very helpful big sister and helped Isaiah open his presents. She even played with some of them for him too. :)

Eagles!!!

So I know I should be posting all the cute pictures of Christmas of Hannah in her pretty dress and Isaiah's first Christmas ever, but the Eagles are playing tonight and I got some great pictures of them in their Eagles gear (courtesy of my mom) that I had to post. I promise, pics of the kids Christmas to come soon...

Brother and Sister

Hannah and Isaiah have been a lot of fun to watch together recently. He looks up at her with stars in his eyes and I know its only just beginning. The locks have been preparing for christmas and we're very excited about Hannah's first year to really get excited about it. We decorated our christmas tree last week (one of the pics below is of hannah looking at an elf that belonged to Howard and Helen Lock I believe). She's still loving all of her teddy bears and Isaiah, who is now 4 months!!!!, has just been enjoying life (even though he still refuses to sleep through the night. :) ) So enjoy the pics, sorry there are so many, it's been a while!

It's a Cowboy Christmas

Only in Oklahoma are their parades with long horned bulls and john deere's. Yup. We went to a parade last weekend in the bitter cold to see the cowboy chrismtas parade. Hannah enjoyed see the cows and horses, John enjoyed seeing the John Deere and the cars, Isaiah enjoyed sort of sleeping in the stroller in a gazillion layers. Mommy enjoyed coming home and having some hot chocolate. :)

Please Santa.....

Bass Pro Shop - who knew?

The Bass Pro Shops, which sell outdoor and camping equipment, have a fun holiday display at all of their stores. I went thinking that Hannah would enjoy the Christmas trees and coloring an elf mask and all sorts of other Christmas related displays. Well, after we had toured the whole store what really got Hannah was a kids camping tent and three kid sized chairs. That was all she cared about. For oh about 45 minutes or so. Below are pictures of where her chairs ended up and her running around the space. She had a ball!

Smiley

So this post doesn't have much going on, but Isaiah is a very smiley baby (at times) and I got some cute pics of him that I thought I would post. In addition, my mom was lucky enough to have a work trip out here in OKC so she stopped in to see us for a day which the kids loved. So there are a couple of pics of her and the kids as well.

Thanksgiving

The Lock family drove to abq for thanksgiving this year and despite still not having a dvd player (as also happened on our philly trip) due to technical difficulties Hannah did great on the car ride there and back. Isaiah pretty much slept the whole time. He likes sleepign when I'm not sleeping. :) I wasn't very good about a camera during our trip, but Granny (john's mom) must have been very good all year because she was granted several good pictures of all the grandkids. Below are some pictures of the day. Most of the pictures include Ryan (age 5) who is Beth's (John's sister) and Brian's son and Marcus (Rob - John's brother) and Debbie's son who is six weeks older than Isaiah. I also posted a very cute video of Isaiah's first belly laugh and Hannah entertaining him so to speak. (by the way, at the end of the video, the "book" she's reading to him is my weight watchers book.)

Scratch that

So I've been a little sheepish to update my blog because I got on my high "sleeping" horse. The day after I posted that last blog Isaiah went back to getting up 2-3 times a night. He must have read my blog. So, latest updates: John went on a camping trip with his Dad last weekend and my mom was kind enough to join me to help me put the kiddos to bed. Unfortunately, they both have the same bedtime (which I have tried to maneuver but they have sort of set their own bedtimes) and they are tough to put down at the same time. Last time I did it when John had to work late, all three of us ended up crying. :) We had a great visit with my mom though and there some great pics below of the time she spent here.
