Pounding the Puffs

Harlow LOVES her some puffs, and when I let her go at them herself, she shovels them in as fast as she can. Sometimes they make it to her mouth, sometimes they don't...and when they don't, this mean mommy finds it very funny. Enjoy.

Pax is 3!!

Our middle turned THREE today...finally! Usually I feel like it happens so fast, that they don't seem that old, but for some reason, with Packy, it seems like he's been 3 forever. And even though this third year brings with it a little attitude, wild, rambunctious, and sometimes naughty behavior, I love this 3 year old with all of my heart. My sweet middle child.

 Happy Birthday Bubba!

You're a silly boy, and we love you like crazy!

christmas day 2012

We are blessed with three beautiful children. Three beautiful children that amazingly enough, sat still and close enough for a great picture!

We started our day with Jamie's side of the family at Grandma Sharon's house. The boys love going there to play with their cousins. And you can just tell that Harlow loves Morgan.

 Packy and Kendra enjoying Christmas dinner.

 The boys by the big tree in Grandma Sharon's basement. Hudson did not let his present out of his grip until it was his turn to open.

 We gave Grandma a shirt that says, "12 Reasons I Love Being a Grandma" with all of her grandchildrens' names. She loved it!

 Our second stop of the day was to Aunt Lisa's. Regan and Sidney had to get their Harlow snuggles in.

The kids- Hudson, Alec, Harlow, Carson, Sidney, Regan, and Paxton.

And with the holidays winding down, this handsome boy/devil turns THREE tomorrow!

christmas eve 2012

Christmas Eve proved to be a wonderful night, filled with food, wine, gifts, and most importantly family. With 3 kids in tow, we got through church smoothly. Harlow drank a bottle, ate nearly an entire container of puffs, and loved looking at the lights and singing along to the songs. Paxton did have an entire king size bag of Skittles, and Hudson talked Grandma's ear off the whole hour. After mass, we headed home to open A LOT of presents from Grandma and Grandpa!!

Our family of five.

 The kids are blessed with wonderful grandparents.

 This princess enjoyed her first Christmas Eve celebration and looked pretty too.

 Like I said, a lot of gifts! Hudson ripped into them in seconds, he couldn't get enough!

 Pax on the other hand, decided to watch a movie instead. I tried to entice him by bringing him a present to open...he opened, said thank you, and went back to his movie.

 Harlow liked getting in on the action. She'd open anything as long as she could eat the paper afterwards.

 Grandpa brought BIG presents!! A huge combine and a huge semi.

 And I'll leave you with just one more of this beauty, and her tongue.

 Paxton obviously loved his puppets, all 26 of them for the animal alphabet!

 Harlow enjoyed the paper just as much as her Disney Princess castle.

Gingerbread Family

When daddy is gone all day fishing or hunting, I like to find something for the boys and I to make. Yesterday it was a family of gingerbread marshmallow people!! They were a hit with the boys, to make and to eat! And oh so cute! The little princess of the family watched and happily snacked on puffs.
