New Pictures!

We had a spectacular week. We got to enjoy Tad at home quite a bit. We took advantage of it with sledding, story time, gym, Pizza Hut, cleaning, taking new pictures of the boys to put on the walls, and a long date of lunch, an attempt at the temple (it was closed opps), and Harry Potter 7. We are so grateful for his job, but it is a treat to spend some time with him doing everyday things.

What a good Dad! Unfortunately this sled was a dud and we had to take it back. They are still so cute all bundled up.

I have been begging Tad to take some pictures of the boys for my walls. The ones I have up are two years old! Tad's buddy let us use his warehouse and lights to attempt to take pictures of the boys. We finally got a few that will work.

Here is me pregnant at 34 weeks. Man I love these children enough to get stinkin' huge! Seriously, it is all for the love!

This has been an eventful last few weeks. We have had the flu at our house. Pretty much everything has been washed. That is good and boy do I have an appreciation for my washing machine and dryer! Tad had another work trip and I was so glad when he got home on Wednesday before I pulled out all of my hair! I think this week we are going to have to get outside because the boys are sick of being cooped up. Seriously if I have to watch another Go-Diego Go I could go crazy. On a good note it does stop Luke from screaming at the top of his lungs (Counting My Blessings- Just think of all of those pioneer woman who would have loved a great distraction for a screaming sick child).

Anyways, the boys found the wrestling singlets this week and have had a great time wrestling. I really love these little men and their amazing minds and spirits. They really make my life wonderful... even when they poop all over:)

Christmas

Here is Tad on his birthday displaying some of his loot. The boys and I figured every Boise State graduate should have at least one sweatshirt of the school. Pretty cute boys if you ask me!

For Christmas we headed up to Nyssa for 11 days. It was quite the vacation!

Here is the boys setting out milk and cookies for Santa.

The boys taking a chill from opening presents with my dad. They are watching a movie that I hated as a child and still hate as an adult so my Dad is smiling because I was mad. It didn't seem to bother the boys though.

Uncle Smitty had Luke's name and thought it was only appropriate for Lukey Bear to have a life size bear. He couldn't love that thing more. Thanks Smitty:)

The boys got matching Atlanta Braves hats from my mom and dad. I love this picture because how Austin is standing is just how my Dad stands all of the time. Notice the hands in the pits haha... just like my dad:)

In our vacation we went up to the cabin so everyone could go skiing (except for me and Luke). Here is Austin practicing for the big evert. He was so excited and did very well.

Luke and I entertained ourselves at the cabin pretty well. He was a super grouch so I had to work hard at entertaining him.

Luke loved these cute bean bags my mom got for the cabin. They are so cute!

Well the rest of the 6 days we visited I forgot the camera for the rest of the time. Needless to say we truly enjoyed visiting with family and friends that we hadn't seen in a while.
