52 Blessings: Brothers!

A lot of you will be getting these pictures on some Valentine cards, but they were just too cute not to post! I love that my boys love each other so much! I love that each can make the other smile so easily. I'm so glad that they have each other. And I love even more that I get to witness it. I'm not sure where I would be in my life without my siblings. How could I ever deny that to my boys?

Fat Baby Beckett

I can't believe Beckett is 9 months old already! He is growing up so fast!

He had his doctor appointment today and he is still my Fatty Patty. He is 22 lbs. 10 oz. and in the 90th percentile for weight and head circumference. (He got a big head from his Dad.) And he is 28.5 inches long which puts him in the 50th percentile for height. So you can see that he is FAT! We have moved him to mostly 12 to 18 month clothes as the smaller sizes cannot contain ever growing belly. He now has three teeth and it looks like a few more are on their way.

He is crawling everywhere and is also walking along the edges of everything. If you put food in front of him he will get to it faster than you can blink. Last week he stood up all by himself! I'm sure he's going to be walking in no time and then I'm really in trouble. He already gets into much more stuff than Holden ever did. He can also book it up the stairs at lightening speed.

He says Mama and Dada now. And we think he might also be saying No and BuBu (Brother), but we aren't positive on those yet. I am amazed by him every day.

Christmas Eve

We spend every Christmas Eve at my Mom's house eating yummy food and opening presents. We cram the whole family into my mom's living room and try to open presents. It's chaos and bliss all mixed into one. I love spending time with my family!

This year Holden got two of his favorite gifts on Christmas Eve: A spongebob bed tent and a rifle.

    

Mostly the guys just sit in the family room and watch TV.

Cookies at Grandma's

One of our family traditions is going to my Mom's and making sugar cookies with the kids sometime in December. We always make sure to make a cookie of our hand print as that is what we did when we were little also. Here are some pictures of our fun times! We were also lucky enough to have my brother and his kids in town from California. Woo hoo!

Holden's Christmas Program!

Holden had his Christmas program on December 17th. And let me just say if you have never been to a 3 year old Christmas program you are missing out! We laughed almost the whole time! Mostly because Holden just sat there and did almost nothing. But the other kids yelling and making faces was also hilarious! Here are a few pics as well of our cute Holden.We have some video also if blogger will ever let me post it. You can watch Holden stand there for two minutes. He didn't sing or do actions or anything! When we play the video at home he will sing the song and do the actions. Guess he just doesn't like being in front of a crowd.

Beckett's First Haircut

Beckett had his first haircut on December 19th. His hair was a bit out of control so we took him to Cookie Cutters. He did great and looked so much older in just a matter of minutes.

This first picture is a horrible picture, but it shows off his new 'do a little better. He was obviously having fun!

Blogging Slacker

I've been a huge blogging slacker lately! My camera cord broke so I was unable to get pictures from my camera to my computer. (And who wants a post with no pictures?) It took FOREVER for me to break down to buy a new one. I was convinced the cord would magically start working again so I didn't have to fork out the money.

And if that's not enough of an excuse I have been consumed with my new bargain blog. If you haven't checked it out yet you have no idea of all the great deals you are missing out on!

I promise to get some events blogged soon. I have quite a few so make sure to check back in a day or two and read all about my fabulous life!
