Christmas

We had a great Christmas.

We were together.

We are so BLESSED.

Monkey

When Case was about 6 months old he became attached to his monkey stuffed animal. The monkey came with a name, Marley, but it never stuck, he just goes by monkey. Case is completely attached to him. He loves his monkey. The last couple weeks he hasn't been wanting to take naps, I lay him down and he cries, and plays, and yells for me, and plays and cries, until I give up and just get him up. But obviously he's still tired because the kids were all watching a movie and this is how Case ended up.

Haircut

We cut Case's cute hair!! We loved it long but it was getting a little to out of control so I decided to trim it which didn't go so well (Loyd Christmas bowl cut) so we shaved it off. He is still the cutest kid but I do miss his long locks! He looks so much older with short hair which is probably why it makes me sad.

And I think the long hair may have camouflaged those huge cheeks I want to eat every time I see them.

Derrik and Lylia

We went to Leavenworth last weekend for Derrik and Lylia's wedding and had a great weekend. The wedding went great and we had a good time. We are glad they are so happy together. Her kids are so nice and so cute, and we look forward to getting to know everyone so much better. Joey, Derrik and Austin
Rue, what a cutie!

By the end of the night Case was so tired he was falling asleep but he was not going to give up on his cake! He would dose a little then wake up and eat the frosting. It was so funny. I tried to get him to let me snuggle him so he could sleep but he was not interested.

Mitchel

I took some senior pictures of Mitchel last week and so I thought I'd post a few that turned out decent. I wish we lived closer to Keri because then they would be amazing! There's a few of my boys with Mitchel, they absolutely adore him, and I do too. He's so funny, he has such a great, quick sense of humor, he's smart, he's cute, he is so like able and mostly I think he loves my boys almost as much as they love him!

I asked Gage and Jett to stand by him so I could get a picture of all of them and as you can see Gage copied Mitch and stood just like him and Jett chose to get as close as possible to him.

Halloween

Excellent Writing

Gage received an award for excellent writing at a school assembly Monday. His teacher says he is a very creative writer and that he writes and assembles paragraphs great. (if you read our blog much you can probably tell his mom never got those awards in school) Gage likes school and loves reading and writing and making up stories. We are so proud of him.

Case's Buddy

I think it might be time for a haircut?

Jett's Soccer

Jett started soccer a couple weeks ago and likes it most days. We've had a couple days he didn't want to go but once he gets there he has fun. He has a couple buddies on the team and the coach is the mom of one of them. The age group is still a little bit clueless but they are so entertaining to watch. Jett is so cute and funny, I love him!
