family...

what a FUN day! Here are just a few pics from the day...more to come!
Zoe's blessing day went great! We had a rough morning, but we made it to church on time and she slept through the whole thing! It was fun to have family over for yummy food and good conversation. We are so blessed with such a great family!! My mom made her BEAUTIFUL blessing dress (of course)...and thanks for all the help from my amazing sisters and sisters-in-law for helping with the food!


November came and went too quickly! We had a very fun thanksgiving with yummy food and family! The highlight was seeing TANGLED and I can't wait to buy it!! (seriously, cutest disney show ever...)
then a long night of shopping (fashion place...just couldn't miss the GAP 50% off sale) and then Walmart at 5 AM. It's all worth it when I can say that I AM DONE with all my shopping before it was even december!

Zoe's sleep schedule has been thrown off a bit- Tuesday night around 7:30pm I thought she felt a little warm...soon after she started coughing and it wasn't long before we were down in the ER at primary children's hospital. After a LONG night they determined that she just had a virus and sent us home. She was a trooper! I cried more than she did (she didn't cry at all- not even when they took her blood or when they put in the IV) She is doing much better and I am so thankful for that!

The best part about having a baby, is all the quiet moments we are sometimes (required) to actually sit down and rock a baby. Zoe is an angel and doesn't require much "rocking"- but it's so nice to have a time out from the day and just enjoy her. I Love to hold her on my chest so I can smell her head. There is nothing like a baby's smell!

What my boys are up to right now...


this is a rare moment...no teasing, wrestling, screaming or fighting. Just three boys sitting on the couch reading together! I LOVE IT!



Cade wants to be rapper. Not really, but he loves to sing and he loves to repeat this quote over and over and over and over and over (I am not kidding). Picture him with his big lips sticking out, his eyebrows down and in a "rapper voice" sing/say
"this girl over there with her braclet on, sitting over there in her old-man chair"
Really? Try hearing this 17 million times in one day...where he came up with it-I do NOT know. And even though I think I will never forget it, I will- so I must write it down for journaling's sake!

Dax is obsessed with a few things. His buzz jammies, which he wears every day, and every night. The only time they come off is for church (and he SCREAMS) or if he pees on them. It's a good thing we have a few pairs of them to rotate- but his stubborness is driving me crazy! And if you see us during the week, you will see my homeless looking two year old- in his buzz jammies, and no coat



Austin loves to hold his baby. He can pick her up all by him self and he LOVES to do this! He loves to smell her head and play with her hair (the little that she has)- I remember him doing this with cade and dax.
He is very obedient and anyone that knows him knows that he is a good kid. He's kind of shy in a cute way. He doesn't like to be in the spotlight and he gets embarassed.
He is a closet digger. By that I mean that he loves treasures. Your junk, is his most prized possession!

I just got home from a FUN trip to Hawaii to visit my baby sis...I will post pictures as soon as I can figure out how to get them on my computer! Hope you are all enjoying the Holiday season!!
