Grandma and Granpa Hatch

AJ was very happy to see his grandma Kay Dawn and Granpa Kelly this Christmas weekend. He seemed to have so much fun and he was very interested in the dancing and singing Santa.

My Buddy Christian

My Bestest friend in the whole world Jenna has a son Christian that is 6 days younger than AJ however, she lives in Nampa, ID and we live in Pinedale, WY so it is rather hard to get the boys together. We were able to get them together for the second time since they were born over the christmas weekend and the two are so cute!! Wish we could see you guys more often!!!

Christmas Time!!

I did not get as many pictures as I wanted for christmas because we video taped AJ opening everything. He made out like a bandit with all the toys and clothes from all of the family. Her are a couple shots of him opening presents and a great shot of him in his christmas outfit from Aunt Karen and Uncle Taylor. He looked so cute, even if his uncle marty asked if he was an elf!! Ha Ha.

Christmas with Grandpa Tony

As most of you know, AJ is named after both of his Paternal great grandpa's and it is so great to see when his great grandpa Tony gets to spend time with him. There is nothing that melts your heart as much as seeing the two and the generation gap but how much they make each other smile. I can see Grandpa Tony light up to one hundred thousand watts when he holds AJ and those moments are definately some of my favorite.

On the Move

Our sweet little baby is really on the move these days. He has learned how to "army crawl" and is just a bit away from actually crawling. Now that he can move straight forward, he is finding a whole new world of new "toys". Apparently dad's shoes by the door seemed quite enticing on this particular day.

Sleeping Baby

I can never resist a picture of my beautiful sleeping baby. He fell asleep in my arms tonight and then was super cute when I laid him in the crib

Our stinker sleeper

AJ has learned that his bumpers on his crib are mobile!! When he really starts to have a melt down while going to sleep or when he gets really quiet, we check on him and this is what we find!! He may be a stinker but he certainly is the cutest little boy I have ever laid eyes on.

Swimming With Mama

I have been trying to get AJ to the pool, especially for toddler time so that I can get some exercise and he gets to play. He loves the water so much and he looks like such a cute little man in his board shorts that I got him.

First Time In The Snow

It was snowing really big flakes today and AJ was intrigued by watching the snow from the window so he decided to take AJ out to feel the snow. He liked it for a minute and then began to look a little scared so we brought him in.

Meeting Santa Clause

Santa Clause came to visit Pinedale this saturday so we took AJ to meet him. He wasn't even scared of him till he heard his mommy talking then decided he wanted me. He even got a good beard pull in. Here are some pictures of us before Santa and with Santa.

My Bear Chair

AJ cousin Ayden had grown out of his bear chair so he decided to give it to AJ. He cant quite sit up perfectly in it but he still likes to try.

Our New Fence!!

As most of you know, we decided to build a fence to keep the dogs in so that they would not get hit by cars as many of our neighbors dogs have. With winter brings slippery roads so I am glad that Richie was able to get the fence done before snow really started to fall. Here is Richie, his dad and RJ working on the fence and then the finished produce.
