Bad News and Good News

Yesterday Bill pulled out the map and told Addison what is coming up for next year. He told her that he would be living in Bahrain and that we would be staying here in Nebraska. She seemed to take the news pretty well. He tried to explain how long using a calendar but I am not sure she understands what a year means. Bill asked her today and she told him all about it. So since she seemed to understand the bad news today we told her that we were going to take a trip to Disney World before Bill leaves. I wrapped up a balloon with the princesses on it and she and Landon opened it. Bill explained what the balloon meant and she was pretty excited. Excited by Addison's standards. But she talked about it all day long so I know she gets it she just has her own way of being excited (she is her daddy's girl). It will be so fun to see everything with our very own little princess! And my parents are going too so that will be fun that they get to experience it too! We are all very excited but geez it is overwhelming.

Cute Kids...

We came home from church on sunday and I thought Landon looked so cute in his little tie. We tried a quick picture together...and then I tried to catch Landon....almost impossible.

Is it Winter?

January 5th, 2012 it was 60 degrees today! Bill and I took the kiddos to the zoo. It was more like March than January. We met some friends there and they had so much fun playing. Landon found a stick and just loved playing in the dirt.

Daddy & Addi at the zoo

Landon had so much fun running around. He loved being out of his stroller. Dirt and sticks were his favorite today.

Landon making Daddy chase him...another of his favorite games!

Really?

Really has it been that long since I have posted anything? Yikes. I can't say I have a really good excuse either!

Well here is a little recap from Christmas.....traveling was WONDERFUL....I could deal with a brown Christmas every year. I am hoping for no snow next year as I will be going it alone.

Addison and Landon had so much fun. Addi got to do all kinds of special things for Christmas...she had her first recital at church, she had a special dance recital, she got to 'feed' the reindeer and leave cookies for santa. It was all so much fun for Addison and Bill and I certainly benefited from the excitement. We spent Christmas in Willmar with my family and got to see Lucas celebrate his first Christmas and my Grandparents celebrate 60 years together! They are truly amazing!!

All our Christmas wishes came true... fun times with family and friends and safe travels for all. Addison's only item on her wish list from santa also arrived. She wanted makeup (old makeup to be specific) She wanted the real deal. She didn't get that exactly but it worked. Landon he had a great time tearing open any and all things! He didn't care if his name wasn't on the tag. He is so opposite of Addison. I am not sure there is any part of him that is serious. He is trying to talk a lot more with "mama" being his word for almost everything. He loved his tractor and really loved his lawn mower. He opened it and it had a gas can with it. He looked at it and knew where to put the gas....how is that possible? Boys are just hard wired differently.

Superman and his tractor!

Bill in his new A.P. jersey....and tickets to the New Years Day game!

Addison opening a nutcracker music box from Daddy!

Lucas' First Christmas...he is so cute!

Nana with her Boys...Landon is blowing kisses to Lucas

Lucas may have escaped the mamarazzi at the hospital but that is enough of that....on Christmas Day we were able to squeeze in a photo shoot...here is one of the pics.

Dr. Nesbitt....Addi had fun in her dress up outfit that Nana made her for Christmas!

Vikings Game New Years Day we had great seats! They LOST..of course...but it is okay...a better draft pick for next year.

Christmas Fun!

We have been BUSY....I guess it goes with the season. Addison has had a program at Church and a program at dance. She has really...shall we say... come out of her shell? She now sings her little heart out! It is amazing the difference a year makes. We have also had some fun baking cookies, looking at some Christmas lights with Nana and Papa and just enjoying the holiday season. Bill and I even got to have a date and we went downtown and looked at the skating rink (if you could call it that...I am a MN girl) and the lights in the park. It was enchanting. I do love Omaha!

We made a trip to the mall to see Santa and had story time with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

We have continued to have fun with Oliver. He has been in a little mischief. One night he left a snow angel made of flour. It was the best thing ever...Addison came running in with the news. He also left a trail of crayons one night to a new coloring book. Whoever thought of a slightly creepy elf on a shelf and wrote a corresponding book was genius! But it really is so much fun.

As we get ready to embark on Christmas we hope that the season finds you filled with joy and thanksgiving as you get to spend time with those you love. We surely are looking forward to more snuggles from our new little nephew and spending time with friends and family! Safe travels to all. You can look forward to an official Nesbitt family greeting probably about Valentines Day (it has kinda become tradition!!).

Love to you all from the Nesbitts

Photos with Santa...Landon didn't mind Santa at all..he went right up to him. Addison of course only asked for one thing....Make-up. I guess I have to give her credit for being consistent.

Addison after her program at church. They sang "Mary had a Baby" and "This Little Light of Mine" Addi made sure that she was singing. After we got home though we got a private concert and that was even better. I couldn't believe how many people were there. It was packed and Landon didn't stop moving the entire time.

Story time with Santa and Mrs. Claus

Daddy and Addi surfing the net! I think they were watching I Love My Hair....again!

The BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!

On December 12th at 3:28pm we were able to welcome

Lucas Roger Busiahn to the world! He was 9lbs and 4oz!

Steph and Lucas are doing well. Steph ended up having a c-section so she will be in the hospital a couple of days. We were able to make a quick trip up to Minnesota on Tuesday and came back today. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Luckily the weather has cooperated very well! Lucas is the sweetest little guy! He seems to be a pretty good sleeper. I think he looks a lot like Trent. He is a perfect little baby that we get to call our nephew and cousin!

Trenton is a great Daddy!

Check out those chubby cheeks...they are very kissable!

Mommy and Baby Lucas

Steph and Lucas...Steph is SO relaxed! I know I wasn't anywhere close to being that calm. I don't know what drugs they have her on but they are good :) She looks fantastic too! We love you Steph and wish you the quickest recovery!

Christmas Program at School!

So this year Addison once again had a Christmas program at school. Last year she froze and spent the entire time looking like she was going to cry. This year she was singing her little heart out! Bill thinks she is tone deaf! She did a great job. It was exciting that Nana and Papa could be here to see her really perform!

Nana, Papa and Kiddos watching Rudolph

Addi's Program at school

A gift for Mommy and Daddy...it was an adorable ornament with Addi's hand print!

Landon REALLY wants to go to school.

Our Wonderful little singer..very loud!

Mini Christmas
Nana and Papa had a couple of large gifts to give and thought it would be easier to bring them to Omaha now rather than us trying to fit them in our car after Christmas. So, it was an early Christmas. It was kinda nice Addi and Landon loved it and got to play with stuff and didn't become overwhelmed. Landon got a wagon and had so much fun with it...they both did!

Helping Nana carry in Daddy's present. Landon saw that Addi was helping and had to go and help too. They are so funny!

The best present ever...the box!

Opening presents!

Landon could pull Addison a little ways...there was sure some grunting but he was successful. Addi loved pulling Landon all over!
