Christmas With The Grannies...

WOW. So I am still behind on all my blogging! Here is one of our four Christmas celebrations. This one was with the Grannies, our aunts, uncles, and cousins. We are so fortunate that our families get a long so well and we can celebrate all together.

Miss Aubrey, and Carter.

Love those two. They were spoiled ROTTEN!

He is huge. Hard to believe that he is six!

Love her too!

Perfect girl.

Daddy and his daughter!

Hard to remember what life was like without all these little people around.

I love how both babies are passed out!

Can't wait to do it all again next year.

2 Months, and 5 Years...

Claire had her two month check back on the 22nd. She continues to thrive in all areas! We are happy to report that she weighted in at 12 pounds 4 ounces which put her in the 86th percentile for height! She is a chunk for sure but I am a firm believer in the fact that this is the only time in her life that being chunky is cute so she should enjoy it while she can! She was 21 and a half inches long which places her in the 18th percent for lenghth! HAHA. She makes me laugh with those numbers. Her head was in the 50th percent at 39cm....I think they measure that in cm. The only issue she has is with reflux. We started her on some zantac and it seems to be helping lots. I always feel so sorry for her after she eats as you can tell she is MISERABLE. I also hated leaving her this week as she eats best when she is nursed. She has struggled a lot with bottles but in time she will figure it all out. She is our perfect little women and we are so blessed to have her in our life's. I can not thank God enough for her. She has completed our family for sure.
I know these pictures are far from great but she was not a happy camper when I was trying to take two month pictures of her, and I forgot to try later in the day. Once again I have earned the mother of the year award.

Colten had his 5 year check on the 22nd (his actual birthday). Other than a shot he had a great checkup (you would think that getting a shot every night would make the shot at the doctor's office extremely easy but NO it was pretty traumatic). He weighted in at 40pounds even which put him in the 46th percent. For height he measured 41 and 3/4 inches which is the 27th percent. I am SO happy he is on the charts for both. The growth hormone has been amazing for our big guy. I am so happy with the self confidence he has gained through it. It is never something I thought would happen when he first started but to be the same height, weight, etc as his peers has been great. He no longer feels like the "little" kid. I hope it continues.
Still can not believe all three of my babies are growing up so fast!

Wordless Wednesday...

Colten's Birthday Party...

Colten had his 5th birthday party clear back on December 10th (I know mother of the year is WAY behind). He had a WONDERFUL time at Gymnastics Plus and he is already excited for his 6th birthday (I personally don't want to think about him turning 6, why do they have to grow up so fast?)! His party was a hit with his spiderman theme, and plenty of sugar for everyone.His sister sure was glad that it was finally time for a party!

She loved all of the fun activities!

Little Amyah had a great time too!

He was pretty busy! Didn't want to stop for a photo!

He did listen to the rules!

Grandpa is the BEST at putting babies to sleep!

Bricen took some time to talk to Addison!

Mya was a big fan of the pit.

All of the kids LOVED flying.

Group photo!

Cake.

Excited to open presents at the house!

Thanks to everyone who made his day so special!

Christmas Cookies...

The week before Christmas we had a pizza - cookie making party with all of our cousins! Everyone had a great time, however I would NEVER give the cookies we made out as a gift...I'm not sure how much everyone else would appreciate all the slobber that went into them. We are so excited to make this a Christmas tradition in our family.
Eating pizza!

I love it when she looks at me with those BIG eyes.

Addison enjoyed cutting them out.

FINALLY time to decorate.

My big girl loved doing this.

Bricen had a great time as well.

I love my little man. He wouldn't frost because it was to messy for his liking. He did a great job with the sprinkles!

She enjoyed the mess!

This is the proof of her enjoying the mess!

Claire liked watching...I'm sure next year she will be ready to help.

Of course her cousin had fun with her as well! They are going to be great friends!
