Last Post of the Year

Enjoying a warm(60's) day in DecemberShe is a very expressive baby. She thinks she is "so big" when she pulls up to somethingMy poor sick baby you can tell he feels awfulThe sun was hurting his head. I love the way the sunlight is shining on them
This one gave her a "halo" if only she would act like an angel when she grows up :)

She is waving "bye-bye" now of course not always on demand :)

Have a safe and Happy New Year!!

A couple of weeks ago we got together before church to snap some pictures of all the grandchildren. For the amount of children and their ages it went really good.

The "boys"The "girls"These ornaments have really been useful in taking pictures kind of a nice distraction :)Devon 5Landyn 4Courtney 2 Nichole 1

The New "Staff"

Kaylee was playing in the office while I was in there the other day. I looked over to find her standing by the filing cabinet with it pulled open :)Just checking out the bills...Oh My this is not good :)

Crawling :)

She started a couple days ago, but I haven't been able to upload video clips for some reason. She seems so tiny to be doing this. She pulls up to anything she can get her hands on. She has been taking baby steps around things every once in awhile. Bradyn didn't walk until 13 months so I really don't expect her to start before then.

Christmas with Family :)

We celebrated with Darrin's family on Christmas Day this year. It was pretty busy with 6 kids 5 and under:) They are what makes Christmas celebrations so much fun though.

Grandma set out some Hot Tamale candies I guess for them to enjoy :)

Nichole is 1

Nichole was checking to see if there was any left!

Helping to work some of the candy out of her system :)

Kaylee is 8 months

G-ma Ruth, Landyn 4, Courtney 2(on the 29th) Bradyn 2 1/2, Papa Les, Devon 5 1/2,

It was really crazy when they were opening gifts so I only got 5 pictures of that

I will probably be in trouble for this picture :) This is Darrin's brother Ryan, apparently they couldn't hear very well with the hat on :)

I think they all tried it on, but I only caught pictures of Ryan and Bradyn

Christmas Morning

His "Big Boy" gift. He will only be able to play with it when Daddy is around. He was excited about having one like Daddy.Since she really didn't need much she only got a couple gifts, but she didn't seem to mind. She enjoyed playing with the paper and Bradyn's toys :)

Christmas Eve

We started the late afternoon by making Christmas cookies, candy, etc... Note the second picture :) he really liked the red cinnamon candy. Then we moved to the living room and read the nativity story by the toy nativity.

Darrin thought they needed to open one present each so Bradyn opened his and then helped his sister with hers :) She was very interested with Darrin's progress on this too :)

She loved sitting there while Bradyn pulled/pushed her in the wagon. (Obviously this is for Bradyn too) Then of course Darrin took them both for a spin :)

After we put Kaylee to bed we sat by the tree and had some cookies and hot chocolate to finish our Christmas Eve.
