Family Pics, Preston's Graduation, Christmas, and Jackson's 2nd Birthday!!

I am finally getting around to posting the rest of our December fun.  We have been very busy these last few weeks so I slacked off in the blogging area. Apologies. A quick update on our family of 4. We recently found out that we will be staying here in El Paso and couldn't be happier about this decision.  Preston was offered a wonderful position at the current hospitals he has been working at. We are thrilled that we get to stay with the awesome friends we have made. We will however still be moving at the end of this month into a bigger place with a yard!!! I am very excited about the yard. Jack is probably even more excited than me :)

We had our family pictures taken by a friend and are thrilled with how they turned out. Thank you Stephen! We also enjoyed Preston's graduation, Christmas season, and Jackson's 2nd Birthday! Woohoo for two!

Family of 4!

Me and my Man! 

It rarely rains here in El Paso but it happened to rain the day we took these.  Luckily we still had several that turned out great for us.

Date Night in San Antonio.  My favorite restaurant in the world is Cheesecake Factory. So we were thrilled when our friends said they would watch our boys so we could celebrate our 5th Anniversary! 5 years baby!! Dang, that's gone fast. 

Preston graduated!!! 

                 
                                       

It's been a long journey but he did it!! I am so very proud of this man!

Pres with some school friends, Tyson and Art.

The boys did great during the graduation.  Luckily it wasn't too long.  I was so happy they made it through the ceremony.  Thanks to the help of 2 girlfriends of mine.  Thanks Randi and Amanda!

Jackson was proud of his dad even though it may not show here, haha.

We stayed with some good friends while we were in San Antonio and they had a dog. Jack loved it. It took a minute to warm up to her but once he did he went everywhere she did.  Jackson played outside most days we were there.  He thought this dog was the coolest thing.  No, it is not on our list to get one soon haha.  He can enjoy other people's dogs for now :)

Christmas family pic!  I couldn't believe how well this turned out.  Thank you to The Hospitals of Providence for a great Christmas party.  This was also the morning of our family pics, hence the clothing coordination :)

Jack got this awesome dinosaur from Grandma and Pop Spung for Christmas.  He LOVES it!  As you can see he's feeding him breakfast :)

Christmas was A LOT of fun this year.  I wish I would have taken more pics.  I thought I did but I can not find them for some reason.  Jackson really enjoyed opening his gifts and surprisingly Beckham caught on pretty quickly too.  It took him much longer to open each one but it was fun to watch them and get excited about each thing. 

It actually snowed in El Paso!! The day after Christmas was a blizzard.  I couldn't believe it.

Jack and Daddy had to go outside to check it out.

This was Jacks first experience with snow and he was overwhelmed with joy.  We ended up with 8 inches!!  It didn't last long but it was fun while we had it.

A scotcharoo for Jack who turned 2!  He didn't even let us finish singing the birthday song before he dove in.

Yummy.  Happy Birthday little man!  You sure are a joy and add so much fun to our family.

We recently came back from a trip to the Philippines to visit Grandma and Grandpa Clark.  Those pictures will soon come.  It was so great to get everyone together.  It was definitely a trip to remember.  I have to gather more pics but, I am sure the anticipation is killing you all :) I'll do my best to hurry!
