St. Patricks Day

For St Patricks Day I of course dressed me and the boys in green and Nick had this darling shirt from his Uncle Ry and Aunt Penny that said "lil Irish Hooligan". It is so cute, THANKS! We made corned beef and cabbage and sugar cookies...i know sugar cookies are not exactly Irish, but I made them cause they sounded good:) Here are a couple pictures of the boys. Charlie is showing off his yummy cookie and this is my messy Nick after he gnawed on one for a while:)


Can you get cuter than that?!

My Neeco!

My Nick, AKA, Neeco is growing and changing so fast! He is walking all around the furniture, he finally has 3 of the 4 teeth that have been swollen for months, standing up and trying to take steps but he gets so excited he falls:) clapping, eating more solids, and is just such a joy in our lives. Here are a couple pictures of him. I tried to get his teeth but they are kinda hard to see. Also he is like all the other men in this house and loves to be naked so he spends a lot of time in just his diaper:)

Knock on wood....

Well for about the last three weeks its been...not fun at our house! My poor Nick got an ear infection, was teething, and got RSV all in one week. When he started to feel a little better it hit Charlie and me. I got a cold and Charlie brown got an ear infection. It had so much pressure it burst and stuff was oozing from him ear and he had a temp. of 103. When Charlie and I started to mend Jack got a cold and Nick got Bronchitis and another ear infection! Ahhhhhh! My dark circles under the eyes from 3 weeks of NO sleep are just starting to fade:) I hate when my babies are sick it is just so sad! However we are all healthy now...knock on wood...and hope we stay that way for a while!

6 Years

Jack and i have now been married for 6 whole years! I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband, a best friend, and the best father for my children! He works so hard for our family and provides love and support to me every day. I Thank our Heavenly Father every day for blessing me with such a loving, caring man!

Christmas in Cedar

We headed down to Cedar City after we saw all the family and got to see all the family down there. I love that we get to see so many family members for Christmas...I just wish we could see all of them!
Charlie and Albert reading his new Goldbug book together.

All of Jacks siblings pitched in and got MaryJo this nice backpack to go hiking with.

Charlie LOVED playing in this box while we were there!

So much so that I got in and played with him....

...and so did Grandma Jo:)

However it tipped over at one point and he hit his poor little ear on the glass table and his ear swelled up and turned purple within seconds...poor little guy! It didn't stop him from playing in it later that day:)

Christmas Day

This was such a fun Christmas! Charlie was old enough to really understand it this year and it was so much fun watching him open his presents! Nick didn't really know what was going on but he sure was happy:)

After we all got ready we headed to my Moms to see all the family and have a yummy breakfast. Charlie, Me, Nick, Bryn, Maddie, Ashley, and Grandma Lucy.

This last picture is Charlie after his darling cousin Bryn put an entire bottle of lotion in his hair and hot pink lip gloss on his lips:) I was laughing so hard!

Better Late than Never...

Christmas Eve at my parents house was a blast as always. Aunt Jill and Jamie came, along with Grandma Lucy, and all my siblings with their families. We had yummy food and got to open a couple presents.
