HALLELUJAH....

HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HAL LE LU JAH!!!! Marcus ate rice, beef and BROCCOLI!!!!! My son does not eat any vegetables let alone try new foods! He has been really hungry lately and so maybe he is growing and deciding to try new things. I don't know but I am SO excited about this!!!!!!!(can you tell?) Wow I am just so amazed! So I thought I would share this with all of you. I also had to put a picture of him with his crazy hair on here too. It's pretty long right now. I think he looks like Elvis:) I am trying to teach him to sing " You ain't nothing but a hound dog". And I also had to put a picture of the ever changing Matthew.

Crazyness but fun!!!

So we had a very busy week and weekend. My brother and his fiance came to visit, we had Christmas with my parents and went to Landon and Tyler's baptism. we had an amazing time even though it got a little hectic!!

Here is a better one...

Here is a better picture of our house with lights!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Micah and I finally finished putting our lights up! I know it's kind of blurry. Maybe I can put better pictures up later. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

My kiddo's

So I was trying to get ideas for our Christmas cards and I decided to try and take some pictures of the kids. Little did I know how difficult it would be! Actually, the girls were well behaved (besides some of the odd faces they made) and Matthew was good but Marcus he is something else! I had to bribe him with candy for him to sit there and even then he still wouldn't stay put! You will notice in some of the pictures he has his hand out, he is waiting for me to give him the candy I keep talking about. Anyways. I know that I posted a lot of pictures. some of them came out okay but most of them are to prove that even though Marcus is a spitting image of me, he is without a doubt Micah's son...

Look at his face, he is up to something...
okay maybe he is going to be still....
maybe not...
and lets move some more...
and some more...

and some MORE!!!
still not done squirming...
still going...
Ah! this must of been what he was aiming for all along! His exact words " Mommy take picture my butt, CHEESE!"
Oh and then sit back down again. Mind you that I snapped all of these pictures within seconds of each other. This kid just cannot contain himself! I have to say that even though it was a little crazy it's pretty funny!

So here are the pictures that came out okay. I am debating if I should try to take their pictures again or go with one of these. If you want to help me pick one of these let me know which one you guys like the best out of the following pictures...

the boys are so serious in this one...

I like this one a lot....

This one would have been cute but Adrianne was making a funny face..

Next time I need to turn off the flash..

Some Thanksgiving fun..

Sometimes I wonder, do I just think he is a cute kid because I'm his mom or is he really that cute? I think he is just really that cute!!!!

Marcus had a hard time taking turns with his drum set at first. By the end of the night they got it together.....

Jr.'s turn on drums and Marcus on guitar......

Our cousin Julie got Marcus this really cool band set for his birthday (i know his birthday was in April, but she wasn't able to make it) and my parents brought it with them today. It came with a drum set, a guitar, a tambourine, a harmonica, and a accordion! It is really cool! Marcus was super stoked and he and Jr. had a great time playing. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time! Thanks cousin Julie!!!!

They're the Doodlebops!!!

Marcus and Jr were having so much fun with Marcus new instruments he got from his cousin Julie!!

It's been a while

Sitting all by himself!!!

It has been kind of a long time (2 weeks) since I last posted. I have a few minutes to my self right now so I thought that I would post some new stuff. We have been very busy the past few weeks and will be busy for the rest of the year!!! I think we have something set every weekend for the rest of the year! Crazy that this year is almost over. Anyways enjoy the pics. I will try and post again soon. Hope that everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Wii fun...

So when uncle JJ was here he and Micah got sucked in and boxed on the Wii. This game system was truly a great investment. We have so much fun as a family with it and even more fun when we have family and friends over!!! It's nice to have some great belly laughs at the action that goes on in our living room!!!
