Playing catch up

Here are some random pics of the kids from right before Christmas.  I don't know why I can't post things in order, but I can't.  After I found my camera, I noticed there weren't very many good pictures on it.  I need to be better this year!  It doesn't help that my little brother and sisters love to take hundreds of pictures of themselves with it.  It makes for a lot of deleting on my part.  I love this pics of Taylor because she looks so grown up.  I really can't believe it, she is reading everything now and learning so much.  I love helping in her class and seeing how much she is doing.  I wish I could go back to 2nd grade, it is so much fun.  She just signed up for another after school 4h club.  She will be doing dance with a few of her friends.  I hesitated letting her do this because she is already taking two dance classes during the week.  She loves to dance and we had a fun time this Christmas watching the nutcracker together.  She really wants to be a ballerina.  She also wants to start piano lessons and play soccer.  We won't be doing all of this at once, but I think its great she is interested in so many things.  By the way, isn't she gorgeous?

This picture of Noah was taken after he decided to start Christmas early.  He just went under the treee and started opening presents.  It took him a while until he found one that was for him, but he was so excited when he did.

Our little Andrew has been through a lot lately.  He has been sick with a new cold every week! 

Merry Christmas

I know that I am way behind on blogging, but I have a good excuse!  My camera was lost!  We were so sad and didn't know whether we would ever find it again.  Then last week someone at my mom's house found it in the couch!  How it stayed in the couch for almost a month, I will never know, it is a pretty big camera.  Anyway, for this reason I haven't added anything new to the blog in a while.  Here are the pics from Christmas morning.  We had a lot of fun.  This year Justin and I planned ahead and actually got a decent nights sleep.  We tried hard to buy them less this year, and it still seemed like it was too much.  Eventually we will get it right.  Christmas day is kind of hard because I always feel like we are rushing to get somewhere.  This year we tried to relax and we even got to go to church, imagine that!  We didn't go to my mom's until the afternoon.  But, we are always trying to pack for Fallon and that is stressful.  I look forward to the day when we can stay home all day and enjoy it!  Spend time reflecting on the Savior and just being with the children.  All in all it was a great day.  We have so much to be grateful for!

My little man

Just wanted to post some pics of my little guy. He is so dang cute and fun. He is always making me smile with his silly faces. And he is by far the most cuddly baby I have. He loves to snuggle and put his head on my shoulders. His big brother and Sisters fight over who gets to play with him. Today Taylor spent time reading to him and then he spent lots of time playing trains with Noah. He is however, growing up too fast! He is starting to talk more and more. I just want to keep him little for a while longer. Love that boy! 

Andrew hanging out in the car.  He has the best seat, front and center. 




Love his laugh.




Seriously, could he be any cuter?
