And More!

Just some more pictures. The ones with Gus and the shower cap are hilarious. Because of his eczema he was needing some scalp treatments and it required him to use a shower cap. We had some fun with it!

Lots of Pics!!

I haven't updated in a while and have lots of pictures to share. The last few weeks have been busy as I am back to work. My schedule is really nice being that I am part time. I teach half days on MWF and all day on Tues. and I have Thurs. off. It works out pretty good with the kids and has been really nice since my mom has been here to help:) She is a huge help not only watching the kids while I am at work, but she has even taken Peyton to school for me on Thursday's so that I don't have to drag everyone else out to get her there...Huge Help! Kirk started his semester off with the stomach flu which was really fun. We caught a serious case of it while we were in Denver for New Years. It hit Raegan first then me, then Peyton and Kirk was the last. And not to mention it wiped out most of Kirk's family as well. The gift that keeps on giving!! Then we brought it back to Delta with us and my mom got it. Lots of fun! Thank goodness that Gus didn't get it. Speaking of Gus he had his 4 month check up yesterday and is weighing in at 17 lbs. He is a big boy! He is doing great but we are just trying to get his eczema under control. I think I have it narrowed down to soaps and detergents. We will see as time will tell. The doctor gave us a cream that should help as well. He has been driving us crazy because he doesnt' want to sleep at night and is waking up every 2-3 hours. I am hoping that getting the itchy eczema under control will help. Peyton is loving school and is such a sweet girl. She is so awesome to her little brother and sister. She makes us very proud. Raegan is talking so much, I swear just in the last couple of weeks she has learned how to put sentences together. Where does the time go, she is getting way too big way too fast! Anyways, I hope you enjoy the pics!

Christmas Fun

So I wanted to get a family picture so that I could finally get my Christmas cards out, well o.k. as of now they will probably be New Year's cards. My mom and dad's fireplace is really pretty and all decked out for Christmas so we decided to do it there. Our family one's turned out ok. We attempted one time to take a picture of the just the kids and as you can see it didn't turn out so good. Gus was finished with having his picture done and Raegan was telling us how hot she was by the fireplace and she basically refused to sit down next to it any longer. Oh-well, we will try again another day. We had some fun taking pics of my sister's twins and Gus in their "baby's first Christmas" PJs. Gus was a crack-up. He was basically emotionless as the chaos of trying to get them all to smile and to look at the same camera was going on around him. The face that you see in the pics was the same face he had for the entire photo shoot. It was hilarious. At one point he and Kelsie were holding hands...too precious! Then she got curious and reached for his face and then his little lip turned down and the tears started flowing. It was all still so cute. Anyways, it has been a great holiday so far. We have eaten enough to feed a small country and we have spent alot of time together. Tomorrow we are having our Christmas here which I am so excited about. The girls will be so cute!! Then we will go up to Mom and Dad's to open presents there and then we are going sledding and cross country skiing. Then having a prime rib dinner. Should be a fun and busy day!! My sister will be leaving around the 28th then it is time to head to Denver for some more family fun! Merry Christmas everyone!!

The not so forgotten party pics!

So I bought little princess crowns for the girls. But mom, dad and Annie got a hold of them. I took the picture of dad when he totally wasn't expecting it and he wanted me to delete it so I had to get it on here before he made me delete it! Also, the one with dad and Gus was so cute. Gus was laughing at his Grandpa.

Raegan is 2!!!

Yesterday was our little Raegan's 2nd birthday. It was a great day. I made her the Ariel cake, and when I showed it to her she said "Wow Ariel!" It was so cute. Then we let her open a couple of her presents after breakfast...a purple barbie mermaid, some new princess shoes and a new outfit. Peyton was hilarious. The present from Peyton was the purple mermaid and she has known about it for a few weeks now. I told her that we can't tell Raegan what her gift is and it has been killing Peyton to not tell her and she has kept it a secret this whole time. Yesterday when Raegan was opening the mermaid and before she could even see what it was Peyton yelled out "It's a purple mermaid!" It was so funny, it was like she just couldn't keep it in any longer. After she opened her presents, she got a bath and went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to help decorate the tree. She had a great time with this, then she came home and took a good nap. After she woke up, everyone was here including grandma and grandpa, Aunt Annie and fam, and Pat. She opened the rest of her presents which included a new castle from mommy and daddy, a princess and the frog dress, a princess and the frog doll, a coloring book, and a baby Ariel doll. So needless to say she was a little spoiled. She was so cute though. Then we had some dinner and then did the cake. She was so cute eating her cake. As you can see it has a lot of red frosting so it made quite the mess! After we all had cake we went back to grandma and grandpa's to watch a movie. It was an awesome day and she was so cute. I just can't believe that she is already two. It seems like yesterday she was born. Time goes way to fast with kids!

Cute Kids

Just some updated pictures. This process was supposed to take me only a few minutes, but it has turned into about an hour because I have had to tend to crabby Gus and now Raegan has decided she needs to sit with me...anyways, this Christmas break has just started and is already going way to fast. We have two weeks of doing nothing but family which is awesome, but at the end of the two weeks I go back to work:( I thought that I would be a little more anxious than I am to go back, but I actually enjoyed being home. It took me a while to get used to it and get into a good routine, and there were times I was thinking that I could never be a stay at home mom, but then I found myself really enjoying the time home and the time with my kids. That is time that is irreplacable. The good thing is that I am only going back part-time. So I will be gone in the morning, but will be with my kids the rest of the day. As far as Christmas goes, my sister from Wyoming is leaving today and will hopefully beat the snow storm that is supposed to hit and will be getting here late tonight or tomorrow. Mom and dad are getting a little settled in thier new house just in time for the holidays. We will be going to see Kirk's family around New Year's which will be awesome because we haven't been together in such a long time and they will finally get to meet our little man and we will get to meet our newest addition to the family, baby Emry who was born last week. Babies everywhere!! Anyways-tons of stuff to do today so I better be going!

Even More Pictures!!
