December Shenanigans!

December has been a crazy month with Jett's baptism, Christmas parties, and shopping and all the other activities we have had to get done!!! Having said that we have definitely had to take a step back from some of that to make time for some fun family time! We decided to carry on our tradition of making gingerbread houses, but this time we did a whole little village and I think the boys ate their share in the icing!

 

The kids did a great job and the gingerbread village turned out AWESOME!!

On December 14 it finally decided to snow over here in Brigham! I am not the biggest fan of the snow and the cold but... we make the best out of it!! What do you do to make the best out of it?? You take the kids sledding of course!!! We packed up the boys in all of their snow gear and headed to a little snow hill!! They were so excited!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....... THIS MAY BE MY NEW FAVORITE PICTURE!!!!

I am so grateful for this amazing family that I get to call mine and for the fun memories that we are making! We can not wait to be able to add another little cutie to our family and share with them our love and fun times!!!!!!



Picture Perfect........ We Wish

At the beginning of October it was that wonderful time of the year, family picture time. I had heard complaining about this day from the time I booked the photographer a couple of months previous from ALL of the boys (mostly Jason).
Well the day finally came, I stressed about the outfit coordination (who else finds it way too hard to dress for pictures, I mean for real any other day who cares what you wear) finally we made it to our location A HUGE field. A little boys dream! There was a ton of trying to get them to stop kicking up dust, running around, play with bugs, and chase deer.... Yes there were deer out there!
We had to make a deal with the boys, if they were good there would be ice cream involved later. Bribery at its finest but... desperate times call for desperate measures... am I right??
So she starts posing us and the boys are being silly and jumping all over, Jason and I are totally used to this and luckily had a sweet photographer! We are going through a nice fake smile phase with the boys so that was fun too!!! But all in all the boys did a pretty fantastic job of being cute (not too hard for them) and I love the way they turned out! And am sorry for all the editing Simply Shelby Photography probably had to do!

These boys though.... I am completely smitten by them!

BUT REALLY THIS IS HOW MOST OF THEM REALLY WENT.................

And it is probably a more accurate picture of who we are!! I love all these Boys of mine
