This face is my favorite...it has been missing lately! We are having some growing pains while adjusting to being a big brother. I had to take a picture when this face made an appearance. I hope this smile starts staying around more often because who wouldn't want to kiss all over this face...even with the slobber! I love you Aidan!
Here they are...all the important men in my life...minus Daddy. Noah is such a good helper and loves to lay by Asher to "watch him" for me! Aidan just loves to mug on this baby and so any picture where he is not plastered to him is rare. I can't wait to see their relationships change as they grow but I am enjoying the stage they are in now! So much love...I am so blessed!
Grandma brought a gingerbread house kit for the kids to put together. They had so much fun and the house stayed together for just a few minutes. Then the "earthquake" came and down went the house. The kids didn't care they just kept on putting candy on the house and their individual gingerbread men. It was so fun for them to get messy and not get in trouble for it. Thanks Grandma...we love our first official gingerbread house...even if it is a pile of rubble!
Nate, Grandma, and Aunt Tiffy took the kids to the ward Christmas party. They got to color pictures with Mrs. Claus which they thought was really fun! They were able to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas and apparently Talia is getting two puppies...a black puppy and a brown puppy! Hope Santa has some ideas on how that is going to work! Noah wants Spider Man slippers so that will be easier! They got cookies and candy canes and had a really fun time! I especially love the look on Talia's face in the picture with Santa and Mrs. Claus. She looks a little nervous...so cute!
So, I take a picture of all of my boys in this hat. We got it for Noah and my all time favorite picture of Noah is in this hat. It has been fun to see how the boys look alike when they wear the hat. Asher has looked the most like Noah, but he still has a look all of his own. I love his little puckered lips! Makes me want to smooch on him!
After taking advantage of my family for two weeks, it was time to take advantage of the in-laws. Nate's mom came to stay with us for a week and help me try and get back to a routine at our house. It was wonderful! We met her in Brigham City and got to have lunch with Joann, Lisa, Tiffiny, Grandma, and Great Grandma. I was so glad we could meet up with them so that they could meet Asher before he is a toddler. We never make it to Idaho Falls so I am glad Asher got to spend a little quality time with his Great Grandma even if it was just for a little while. I sure love the family I married into...they couldn't be any better to me! I love this picture...there are never enough of these moments!
Noah and Talia got their first experience with a Nintendo game boy (I think...). Thanks to Brady's boys, they were able to spend MANY CONTINUOUS hours playing games. Noah most especially enjoyed it! We actually had to pry the game out of his hand to get him into the bathtub. Thanks for sharing your games Bridger, Austin, and Alex! They had a ball!
Here is a picture of all of the kids together. It is SO HARD to try and get everyone to sit, look at the same camera, smile, and not cry! This is just before Aidan had a meltdown. I think you can see it coming...
