New Year's

Make a Smilebox greeting

Four Months

Wesley had his four month appointment today, was a mistake this close to Christmas. He is not handling the shots very well. So needless to say we may have a grumpy baby. His new weight is 16 IBS. 8 OZ, length I forgot to write the exact amount but I do remember they said 80 percentile. This little guy has been a great blessing in our home. He has a smile and laugh that can always make me smile. For the most part he is the happiest baby ever, I couldn't have asked for a better baby. So you know something is wrong when he cries constantly. It is really fun to see him try so hard to roll over. Tummy time is not one of his favorite things to do.

Bows and Wrapping

I certainly have a child that loves everything about Christmas, especially wrapping presents. Finally after putting him off for a few hours I gave in and let him wrap one of his presents. He actually did a pretty good job of it, we used a lot of tape :) Then Chan's next request or demand was to bake cookies for Santa. He kept saying that Christmas Eve is too late, we need to do it right now!!! And then we ran out of bows, so we had to stop at the store after Wesley's doctor appointment. Luckily the store was not too crazy. The parking lot was a nightmare, people turn into crazys right about now. So with bows in hand, buying only bows is impossible when you have three little hands grabbing everything. We went home and he had to put bows on all the presents that people had sent us. Needless to say we only bought a bag with 15 bows, somehow they are all gone. We are not going to the store tommorrow to get more. Tommorrow will probably be the same thing...we need to wrap presents, bake cookies and buy bows.

We were hit with a large snow storm, at least a foot if not more. It will take awhile to dig out.

Pics of our cutie

Wesley has become so much fun to have around. He has started to reach and grab things in his little hands. He has also started to smile and laugh a lot more now too. His siblings definitely love this little guy, always wanting to be around him.

Bread

Nate and I stole a Lion House cook book from his parents years ago and love to try recipes from there. Nate tried this bread recipe and it turned out fabulous. He did an excellent job on it.

Winter day fun

A few weeks ago we got our first snow storm, it was quite the storm. The night before we got all the snow stuff out and Lexie wanted to sleep in her boots. This little gal does not have a sheet on her bed if you noticed because she has a tendency to take her diaper off. That is the reason for the garbage sack on her pillow :), great gal. Nate and the kids had fun building a snowman and trying to sled down our little hill in back. Yes my crazy husband was wearing shorts, I keep telling him he needs to go buy some pants. A few days later for FHE we went and saw the lights at a local park, it was a great way to spend an evening.

Lexie..what can you say?

Why is it that when you are running late for church, kids find something to get into to make you even later? Nate had left at 7:30 to pick up some of the french members, so it left me to get five of us ready for church. We were almost ready and I walk upstairs and this is what I found. She loves to get into my makeup and usually I lock our bathroom door, so that she can't get into it. I think I started to cry, it had been one of those mornings. Lexie is quite the gal, she is always finding things to get into. I thought that Spencer got into alot of trouble and then Lexie grew up. I thought that our boys were dramatic, but now that she is almost two drama central. Every single day we go through about four meltdowns, because things are not going her way. Chan and Spence know what her buttons are and they push them a lot. It is fun to have a little girl around amongst boys, but sometimes she is a little handful :)

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving this year was nice and cozy. We ended up having just the six of us for thanksgiving. We had a nice day filled with watching the parade and enjoying the chaos that is our household.
