Christmas morning with my family

These guys had the best time Christmas morning.  My sister's family and ours all stayed the night with my parents.  The boys are all rotten!  Santa came and loaded them up with toys!  Spring cleaning is coming.  

Sweet Brothers enjoying Christmas candy.  These two like candy too much....

These two just love each other.  It is the sweetest thing!

It is so much fun having these 3 guys together! 

Our families!  I'm glad I got to wake up with my sis for Christmas.  That just feels right!

My sweet nephew!  Aunt B just loves him!

Paw and Kyle.

 My first little baby love is so big!

 Although you can't tell...we are all in our matching PJ's.  

Gatlinburg 2015

Family vacation!  This past Christmas we decided to do a trip instead of presents!  It was the best idea ever!  We had so much fun.  We met in the middle which is Gatlinburg how nice is that!

Here we are on our first stop!  McDonalds.  Can you tell we are so excited!?

We got there a little early so we went to one of the road side fair type things.  My boys really really enjoys this!  I think it was actually one of their favorite things.

The first night Ms. Susie gave us "big kids" a night out.  We went to the new little downtown like area in Gatlinburg called The Island.  It reminded me of a downtown Disney feel.

Our first official day, we just took our time and went to Dollywood's Splash Country.  We had planned to do the after three the next day is free.

We are all ready to go!

We came back and hit the hot tub!

The boys and Nat Nat!  They loved Nat Nat.

The whole family made a trip to The Island

One day during the boys nap the four of us went and walked around Gatlinburg.  I sure do miss my Rosie!

We of course went to the Dixie Stampede.  

At one point I looked down and saw this!  My heart melted!

Brant was worn out!

We grilled one night and had some of Mr. Ira's corn. Yum!

My little bunch!

This really was such a great trip.  We had an awesome cabin with an amazing set up.  Most of all we loved getting to hang out with these guys!  We miss them so much!

Spence's 1 year pictures and 12 month update

I just knew pictures with Spence would be easy.  He's always so happy go lucky!  Well except picture day of course.  Those teeth were really bothering him.  We still got several that I love.  You will notice there are none with Brant.  He was completely not in the mood. 

I love how the chair pictures turned out most of all!

Mr. Serious is below.  This really is a rare look for Spence.  He LOVES his daddy!

Goodness gracious, we love him!

HAPPY 12 MONTHS!! 

• Weight: 25lbs!  The doctor said he lost 3 lbs!  I'm not surprised he is so mobile now.
• Size: diaper-5 clothes- 18 month 
• two bottom teeth and I believe the top two are on their way too.
• Still a great sleeper for the most part
• Doing great with the cup and working on eating with a spoon.  If I dip it out and hand him the spoon he does perfect and hands it right back for more.
• Walking every where!  He's not 100% steady but he rarely crawls now.

• No change here....Food:  Loves to eat!  He eats any and everything. 
• Whole milk and we are having to give him some juice for constipation occasionally, but then he has diarrhea so we are trying to figure this one out.
• We are hoping he is not our biter.  We have noticed he appears to be trying to bite when he gets upset.  Hopefully that is just teething.  
• He is a determined little thing.  
• loves to be outside
• Wants anything Brant has and if we give Brant something and do not give him the same thing he will notice and get upset already!
