So far...

I haven't gotten just a whole lot of pictures this year (it's only 1/11/11 hehe) but I wanted to share a few.

4 of my favorite people!


Please excuse the fact that I'm not dressed and have no make up on. I don't argue when Jason offers to take our picture. As you can see, I'm pretty proud of my kiddos!

My pretty girl!

Who knows what he's thinking. :)

She likes to stand up on her own for a few seconds at a time. She likes her walker OK, but she loves to hold mom's fingers and walk around the house. She is SUCH a momma's girl right now. If I walk by her and don't pick her up, she starts crying. When she's playing in the floor happily and I leave the room, she cries. If Jason is holding her and she sees me go by and I don't get her, she cries. I'm in trouble.

This is her Christmas dress, not her texas tech dress ... just so ya know, Mandi... and Holly... and Steph.. and, we have too many tech friends! jk :)

I love her little red coat!

Poor Jason! He sprained his ankle playing basketball at church! He couldn't walk on it at all, I had to help him get inside the house. Thankfully, Wes and Holly let us borrow some crutches so he could get around. Thanks guys! He is NOT one of those people who doesn't mind sitting around, even for an evening.


This is the first night after a couple of hours of elevation and ice. We had to get an x-ray the next day to make sure it wasn't broken. He's already doing better today. I'm sure he won't wear his cast/walking boot for a whole 6 weeks like he's supposed to.

CHRISTMAS!

What a great Chritmas with so much fun seeing family and friends this weekend. And, it is so much fun watching the kids get excited about the gifts they got!

Poor Gracie fell and hit her teeth and gum on Caden's metal bed frame a couple of days before Christmas. Thanks again to Wes for taking the time to look at her and let us know that she's ok!

We headed to GG's house the day before Christmas Eve. We got to celebrate with Brian, Laura, Reid, Lane and Morgan along with Grandpa David and Great Grandma Lillian. It was crazy, but fun!

Gracie, Caden and Morgan, our new little niece :)

Reid and Brenna

Great Grandma Lillian with Brenna

GG's ipad was a big hit with the big kids (Jason)and the little ones!

Opening presents

Pulling up on EVERYTHING!

After presents at GG's house we drove home to spend the rest of Christmas Eve at home. Gracie especially was so excited about Santa!

Making cookies for Santa! We left him cookies, milk and a thank you note. We also put some carrots outside for the reindeer.

T'was the night before Christmas and all through he house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in thier heads!

They came to our room first, so we got to see them when they went to see what Santa brought!

Yay for new bikes!

And rain boots, too! He wore them ALL day! :)

She got a pink and silver pistol :)

Brenna got some toys and clothes, too! But she was more intrested in the wrapping paper of course.

Gracie LOVES her new Dora umbrella! Caden likes his, too.

She loves her pink cash registar!

Me, making breakfast. We had biscuts, eggs and sausage. We each put a candle in a biscut and then we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus!

After we ate and played for a while, we headed to Mimi and Pawpaw's house. I'm so sad that I only got 2 pictures at Mimi and Pawpaw's house before my camera battery went dead. I should have known it would, I'd taken over 200 pictures in 2 days! But I forgot to bring my charger so... I hope mom, Wendy or Christy send me some pictures!

Hope you had a Holly Jolly Christmas, too!

Look Out World!

Christmas Season Begins!

Time to decorate the Christmas tree! Our little helpers were so excited. We put on PJ's and some Christmas music and got started.

Jason was manning the video camera with Brenna.

Hard at work.

They had their favorite spot on the tree.

Some branches have more then 5 ornaments!

Finished! Jason spread out alot of the congestion on the lower branches after the kids went to bed.

Brenna is still not crawling, but that is really ok with me. :) She is 8 months old today (6th).

Gracie all dressed up for her choir performance at church last night. They were so cute.

My poor camera - it no worky too well these days. Hopefully Santa will bring me one before Christmas!

Almost 8 Months Old!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone! And I know it will go that much quicker now that Thanksgiving is over. Oh, Thanksgiving. Didn't turn out as planned this year. Gracie got the stomach bug the day before and I got it the day of! Lots of fun. We did get to go to my parents for a second Thanksgiving, and we had a great time. But, I forgot to charge my camera battery so I don't have any pictures. :(

Here is a picture of my baby girl at 7 1/2 months. She's a healthy 22.6 lbs and 27 + inches tall. She is ALMOST crawling right now. She can scoot backwards and roll around with the best of them, though. She has her way of getting around ... and into stuff.

Brenna 11-11-2010

I love to look back and see Gracie and Caden at the age Brenna is now.

Caden 9-30-2008 (he still had blue/gray eyes)

Gracie 2-1-2007

Gracie and Brenna look similar, but they all look so different to me.

Life as We Know It

I just wanted to put up some of our "everyday" pictures.

Some are funny :) Life with three kids is a daily adventure. Sometimes those adventures are so much fun, and some are not fun thinking about again.

But, all in all, life as we know it is pretty good. Thank you God!

He's a breakfast man. Some of the first words out of his mouth every morning are "I wanna eat."

I'd be happy with "good morning momma".

She picked out the Cupcake Pebbles cereal.

Yes, she got into mosquitoes again. :(


She is a huge Mum Mum fan!

Cowboy Caden!

I think they are both out.

Gracie still loves to help Daddy no matter what he's doing.

And she looks cute doing it, too!

Poor Caden, he needs some more daddy time.

He does look pretty cute in them.

This is part of Jason's nightly routine. After he's all ready for work the next day, he gets his toast, honey and milk and sits down to watch T.V.

Then... he falls asleep. He didn't even know I took this picture (shhhhhh)

Dinner tonight.

I like to try and make Brenna feel like she's eating with us. One big happy!
