Snow

 Wow...it sure has been snowing at our house and the boys have been loving it!  They have been sledding a few times (of course I forgot my camera!) but I did get some cute pictures of them playing in the snow.  Their favorite thing to do is to eat the snow and build snowmen and then demolish them.  We even bundled Juliet up and let her sit in the snow for a second.  Winter is so much more fun with kids around!!!  I also am adding some cute pictures I took of Juliet...I don't know how she is growing so fast!

Gingerbread houses

 As a tradition, we always make gingerbread houses, but this year we tried something new.....actually building the houses with wood and nails and stickers instead of candy.  We had a great time building the houses and the boys loved hammering in the nails and wearing their cool safety goggles and aprons.  

Thanksgiving

 We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family.  We enjoyed yummy food, shopping, going to the movies, playing games, and even a baby blessing.  Jeremy's family also took pictures over Thanksgiving, so I thought I would post some.  Poor Bryce had just woken up from a nap and was crying the majority of the time, but we did get a few shots of him without tears.  I am so thankful for my family.  I love being a mother and watching my kids grow.  I feel very blessed to live in such a wonderful place and to be surrounded by amazing people.  I'm one lucky...or I should say blessed girl!

 

Glasses

 My Michael just got glasses a couple weeks ago and I think he is pretty cute in them.  I decided to take him to the optometrist since Jer and I have such horrible eyesight, and I wanted to make sure he could see well for school.  And don't ya know it....he was having a little trouble seeing and now needs glasses. Luckily he only needs them for school right now.  It makes him seem so much older.  How I love that little guy!

Halloween

 Who doesn't love Halloween!  Going to peoples houses and they all give you candy!  My kids can't understand why this holiday only comes once a year.  We had some great family parties with Jer's family and my family and we enjoyed a nice Halloween night with just our little family.  Jer and I each took turns taking the kids trick-or-treating and they got loaded down with treats.  We had superhero themed Halloween this year and the boys thought that was awesome!

Soccer

 It's soccer season again!  Michael just finished playing his third season of soccer.  I love watching him run around after the ball.  It's so cute.  He had a lot of fun this year and was even able to play goalie a couple of times.  My parents came and cheered him on and Bryce loved to cheer "go Michael, kick the ball".  It will be fun when both boys can play.  Good job Mikey for showing off your soccer skills!

Juliet's Blessing

 Juliet was blessed this past Sunday by her daddy.  It was a wonderful blessing and I am so grateful that my husband was able to do this.  She did great and was happy just to be held and surrounded by those that love her.  Thank you to everyone who came down and supported us.  This little girl is such a blessing to our family and we adore her.
