Introducing Timothy

We are excited to announce Timothy R. Holmes Jr., weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz 20 inches born 1.19.13 at 6:07 am. The Lord answered our prayers, for he is healthy, the delivery was uneventful, Stevie is a wonderful big sister and so far he's been a great baby. Our hearts are filled with so much joy and thankfulness!

2012 Christmas


Holmes Christmas = Success
Stevie was so much fun this year, super thankful and excited for every gift, which made worth wrapping every little item worth it for us (yes, even new toothbrushes). We also really took time to celebrate the reason for the season, JESUS. Stevie would remind us that we were celebrating His birthday and who His earthly parents were, Mary and Joseph, and when He was born the angles sang Hosanna. This is what it was really all about. Happy Birthday Jesus!

We started the celebration off with a trip to Journey of Bethlehem with the Smarts, Fasts & kids in tow 


We also attended the Journey caroling at the mall with the Walsh Jrs. 

Tim got his wisdom teeth pulled and made a great Santa

First attempt to take a picture with Santa... this is as close as we got

Getting our tree...(sorry Tim:))


Queen of the Tree Lot

The outcome thanks to Tim

Second attempted to take a picture with Santa when he came around our block...Mom got the death grip


 Christmas Eve day all set to make her first batch of cookies for Santa

She loved the dough just like her mommy. Once we were done she litterally reached in the bowl while I was washing my hands and took a handful, that's my girl.

Granddad Bob and Grandma Connie came to town too,  we enjoyed getting to spend quality time with them. Thanks for making the trip, it was fun to see them play/bond with Stevie.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we packed up and headed to Sacramento to spend the holiday with the Holmes Family (Tim’s brother and sister-in-law + 3 kids). As usual it was filled with fun activities like:  play time at Art Beast, John Deer and tractor rides, puddle splashing and good ole family bonding. And great food thanks to SamJ! It was so fun to see the kids playing and loving on each other, makes us wish they lived closer.

                                                  Thank you Curt and Sam for another great trip



1st stop: Art Beast
Our little artist in the making

Puppet show time, not sure who enjoyed it more Stevie or mom


They even had a stage, watch out Hollywood here comes the next generation of STARs
