My Crazy Drake

It has been awhile since I did a post so here are some pics of my crazy, funny, full of life, little boy. He definitely is a handful, and knows how to push my buttons, but I love him like crazy.

Grandma Thomas

Chris's amazing grandma passed last night. She was such an special lady! So full of love and warmth. She was a amazing mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I am so lucky to have known her and have learned a lot from her. Family was so important to her and she made sure everyone knew they were loved. We were lucky enough to be able to go spend some time with her and say our goodbyes at the end of November. She got to meet Sonja which meant a lot to all of us. Even though she is going to be greatly missed I am so happy that she is at peace now. She is finally back with her husband and gets to be with Jesus. We love you so much Grandma Thomas! You are loved and missed!

Movie Stars

We finally got Sonja laughing on film. Try not to smile when you watch, I dare you!


Drake is still singing Christmas songs, and wearing his Christmas jammies. Funny kid.

Such a stinker, but still o so sweet!

Drake has been a BIG stinker lately. He just thinks he knows best and doesn't want to listen to ANYTHING I have to say. So, it has been a bit of a struggle around here lately. But just when I am about to lose it he reminds me of what a sweet boy he really is. Here is the conversation he had with Sonja this morning:

Oh, and Drake is talking in this high pitched voice that he always uses with Sonja.

D - Oh, you woke up!
S - smiles
D - good morning! How was your sleep?
S - smiles bigger
D - you are getting so big! What do you want to do today missy moo?
S - smiles even bigger
D - Ohhhhhhhhh sweet pea, I just love you! Gives her a big hug and kiss
S - giggles a little bit (or she is just grunting hoping he will let go of her soon)
D - wanna play with Mater little miss? he giver he Mater then takes his lightening McQueen and drives it over her belly while making a REALLY loud car noise right in her face.
S - gets a big frowny face and starts to cry.

Okay, so he was sweet for a minute. But lately that is all I get, just little glimpses of the Drakey I know. I sure hope this little power struggle doesn't last too much longer!

Missy Moo Babbling

I just have to say that babbling is just the cutest thing ever! I absolutely love hearing her talk and make her sweet little noises. So I just had to post a video of it so family and friends back in Utah can hear it too. Enjoy!
