Who doesn't love sleepovers?
When I was little, the week between Christmas and
New Year's we would take turns sleeping at my cousins
and my house. It was so much fun.
This year we had Heidi's kids sleepover.
Dave made pizza for everyone, and we had skooki's,
yum-o cookies with ice cream and chocolate on top!
Rah & Lin stayed over to give Dave and I an entire
night of sleep with no Max interruption's!!
Kem wasn't planning on staying but that night was really
crappy driving conditions, so he stayed.
We played games, and the little boys watched movies.
It was a so fun, and so nice to be able to get 7 hours of sleep,
in a row! Seriously, who doesn't LOVE sleepovers?!?

The cutest boys with their new blankets
and pillowpets.


I knew boys were good for something. . .
. . .they are good for MANY, many things!!
This just happens to be one of them. They could
hardly wait to get outside and shovel.
The cutest boys ever, and the best helpers!
Today they (mostly Cody) folded two loads of laundry.
See, they are good for something!!

Happy Tismas Guys!!

This is the phrase you hear from Jaxs! Whenever
the phone rang or someone was at the door he
would yell out "Happy Tismas Guys"!! He is the
cutest boy ever! Christmas is such a fun time of year.
My boys love it, and get so excited. I love watching their
faces as they open presents, and how excited they are
to give Dave and I gifts. They are so much fun!!
Cody and Ethan got I-pods, clothes, Bakugan's,
drawing stuff, an erector set, books and more.
Jaxson got a art table, cars, clothes, movies and more.
Max, who didn't need anything, got some baby toys.

After opening gifts at home we went to my parents for the
BEST breakfast ever, had lots of fun with family, opened more
gifts, ate lots of yummy food, and played games.
It was a great day!
I love everything about Christmas. The meaning, the spirit,
the joy & excitement it brings, the yummy food,
being together with family, EVERYTHING!
I am so blessed, I have the best family!
I love my sweet husband and all he does for my little
family. I love my boys to the moon and back and then back again.
I love my parents, I don't know what I would do with out them.
I love my siblings and am so grateful to have most of them close by.
I love that Rah was able to come home for Christmas.
Like I said, best family EVER!

They were sooo excited, they got up at 6!
I was able to hold them off until 7.

Eman got new snow clothes.


Loves his table! Whenever he is coloring
he says "me write my name."

He was such a good helper opening both mine and
Dave's gifts.
His favorite thing? Has to be the Pringles!


Pringles and milk, what a great breakfast!!


What a good uncle! Kem was being a the
best horse, he even nayed!!
Jaxs even was whipping his belt as he yelled yee-haw!!


Rah, Lin & cute Max

Loves Spongebob.

Christmas Eve

This year we stayed home for Christmas Eve.
It was a great day. My dad, mom and Rah came
over during the day, we made sugar cookies for Santa,
read a Christmas story, Christmas candles, opened
Christmas jammies, and the kids went to bed at
a decent hour. It was wonderful!!
They got pillow pets from Grandma Linda
Cutting out the cookies.
Frosting the cookies. Jaxson loved it!!
Giving me hugs. I love this dude!
"The night before Christmas"
He loves his jammies! He is just a
big ray of sunshine, don't ya think??
LOVE my boys!!


2 Months old!!

WOW!!  He is getting so big!!
10 lbs 9 oz.
23 in long!
Things are starting to look up.
He is a lot happier now.  I think he thought
he was starving!  Since he has acid reflux, my doctor
wanted me to only feed him 2 1/2 oz every 4 hours.
Well, that didn't last for very long!!  If he cries for
too long it just makes him puke, so now he eats whenever.
And just like that, he is HAPPY!!
Most of the time, the swing is a life saver!!
Little Max is so much fun!  He is smiling
and cooing so much, he's even 
giggled once or twice.

 He's just so cute!!


Cody set up Max with his animals so he could take
his picture. 






I just love this little guy!
