Christmas with the Jauberts

The week following Christmas, Chris, Jessica, and Oscar were in Louisiana..We got to celebrate Christmas with them for the week and as always it was such a pleasure to visit with them..But most importantly, the kids got to spend time playing with each other..Oscar and Lilya have so much fun together..it is always monkey see monkey do with those two..They played with Stuart too like he was their little baby doll..Stubaby stayed with them though..He wouldn't give up and followed them around like he was a big boy..He got fed chocolate icinig..of course he loved it..We are always sad to see them go but we will be visiting Jackson Hole for Chrismas 2012...Lilya says she wants to go back to see snow on the next trip.

Christmas in Cottonport

We had such a great Christmas this year with the kids..Stuart could really care a less but Lilya thought everything was amazing..She was so excited for Santa to pass that she ran to bed and told everyone to turn out the lights and hurry and go to sleep..if only Santa passed every night! The adults had lots of fun on Christmas Eve..The Hood played Just Dance 2 on the Wii at Kay-Kay's house..The men thought they could easily play this game...Wrong..They all about had a heart attack..so did we laughing at those idiots..Lots of fun this year..Guess next year we will play Just Dance 3..

Who Dat

The Kay Kay gave me, Roger, Nick, Clay, and Laura Saints tickets to this past Sunday's game. We had an awesome time. The weather was great, the game was sooo good, and of course we had a great time on Bourbon Street afterwards. Thanks KK for an amazing Christmas present.

Stubaby has taken off

Stubaby is all over the place..We have had to place pillows all over the floors and pick up anything that he can pull up on that will tumble on top of him..This kid will be walking at Christmas...He is ALL BOY...Yes these pics all have him with a nup nup in his mouth..I try to take them out for pics because my mom says she never sees pics without a nuppy. So I took it out and then he found it and put it back in as I was taking pics.

Jackson Hole, WY

So I finally got some pics up of our trip to Jackson Hole..I have so many more put it is taken me forever to get them on this blog. We flew out of Dallas on Sept 1 to visit Chris, Jessica, and Oscar. We were a little nervous since this was Lilya's first plane ride. She absolutely loved it and wanted to get back on again once we landed. The weather was absolutely gorgeous there. It was 65 degrees when we landed and was 36 that night. Me and Lilya froze, while all the locals ran around in shorts and tank tops. We enjoyed going to the farmer's market and hulla-hooping..Jess was awesome at it. We went bike riding to the Snake River and around Oscar's school in Wilson, WY. We hiked up the mountain to Jenny Lake. That was a little difficult..we were already a few thousand feet above sea level and we were climbing..oh and Roger carried Lilya on his back most of the way..It was much harder though for Jessica and Chris who had to carry Oscar, who weighs about 8 to 10 pounds more than she does. We went riding to Kelly, WY to look for buffalo, but ended up coming across an antelope who crossed the road in front of us. Of course we stopped in Kelly... I had to have a picture in front of the sign. The kids played Sugarland in the car 40 zillion times and Roger and Jessica sang Beverly Hill Billies song 50 zillion times..Chris and I were ready to dump them out. We then went to Snow King where we took the ski lift up the mountain to ride the Alpine Slide 2500 feet down the mountain..I wasn't liking this lift with no snow underneath me, but Lilya wasn't scared of a thing..When we came home there were Moose in their neighbor's front yard. All that searching we did and they were right at home. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to go back. Lilya is already talking about playing in the snow next time.. Gotta give much thanks to Kay Kay. She kept Stubaby while we were gone. He had been congested and it made the trip a little easier. Thank you Kay Kay and Thanks to Chris, Jessica, and Oscar for a trip we will never forget.
