Cutie Pies

The kids and I had fun at home today while Daddy worked.  I am blessed to only have to work one Saturday a month and to have a husband that works as hard as he does so that I can be home with our babies.

My grandma makes the bears pictured in the top image.  This particular bear used to be my Uncle Korey's but grandma recently gave it to Gavin.  Korey died in a motorcycle accident years ago.  Gav has named it "Koreybear."  When I walked into the kitchen he was laying on the kitchen table, "Taking a nap with Koreybear."  Silly boy.

It warmed up enough this afternoon that we ventured outside for some fun.  I can't wait until the weather is nice enough we can be outside all the time.

What Do You Do When You House Has a Showing?

The house has been on the market since September.  We had a showing tonight.  We have had 20+ showings in the past 5 months.  So what do you do when you have to get the kids out of the house for an hour in January?

Take them to the park of course!  So it was bit breezy and chilly but I think the fresh air did them some good.  I am praying this house sells soon.  Keeping a house in tip top shape for showings is exhausting!

Sunday Snow Day

Well...it snowed last night.  At least that was my excuse for not dragging everyone to church today.  But we did enjoy our own worship time at home.  Daddy built a fire and the kids had fun sitting around listening to it crackle.

When sis laid down for her nap, my little artists had some fun with paint.  Totally beat dragging everyone out in the snow!

New Year's Eve {2014}

Happy New Year's!!! Here is my good-looking squad for the evening. 

Goodbye Baby Tooth

This little guy is growing so fast.  He lost another baby tooth today.  He went from wearing 4t to size 6 almost overnight.  I think we spent one month is 5t. I can hardly believe it!

Saturday At Home

My precious babes slept in until 8a.m. this morning...that is quite a feat around here since they are usually up at 5:30. Daddy worked most of the day so the kids and I were home.  There was plenty to keep us all busy.

My kids are so blessed to be loved by so many.  I t was very nice today just to have some quiet downtime and love on each other a little.  Kendra got us a gingerbread train kit but when we opened it the gingerbread pieces were broken beyond repair.  So what did that mean?  Yep, you guessed it.  We made our own gingerbread and then put together our train.  I t was an all afternoon project!

Kate loves her new little couch and as I had suspected it is her favorite little snuggle spot. :)

Christmas 2014 {Nena & Papa's}

What a fun and busy Christmas.  We ended the day with supper at Nena & Papa's.  My niece kidnapped the camera and was snapping pics of everyone!  Nena always goes way overboard on the gifts and this year was no exception.

I am now sitting on the couch looking at the Christmas disaster all over my house.  But I am utterly exhausted.   So it will just have to wait!
