One is such a ONE-derful age!!!

Yes it is offical! We now have a one year old running around the house!

I know this is always said, but so true...they just grow way too fast!

I still cannot believe that she is already a year old!

Adysen has been such a sweet little blessing added into our lives! We could not imagine life without her. She is such a sweetheart and is so loving and already has such a caring personality!

It has definately been a life changing experience having three kids running around the house and not enough hands, but it has also been the best experience and we have learned so much from it.

Some of the new things that Adysen is doing at 1:

-She walks/runs around the house (since 11 months).

-Climbs onto everything.

-Takes her own diaper to the trash (she just started doing it on her own and we didnt even show her...too cute)

-LOVES playing with her baby dolls.

-Loves going for rides in her car.

-Her new words--Ontie (auntie), too-too (thank you), uh-uh (up-up)

-She nods her head for "yes" and does that yes laugh.

-Drinking whole milk out of her sippy cup.

-Turned face forward in her car seat.

Here are some pics of Adysen on her 1st birthday! We hope you enjoy her beautiful smile as much as we do!

Family Snow Trip!!

Our Family snow trip to Greer was such a blast! We went up with my side of the family for 6 days and that was just long enough. I think we were all ready to come home except for the kids of course. We pretty much lived on the snow hill outside the cabin the whole time we were there in between card and pool games, sitting around talking and laughing, eating, and just being together as a family. We could not have asked for a better trip (or weather)and memories that will be cherished forever! Here are a few/156 pictures I took. I am a crazy girl when it comes to pictures.

Me and my wonderul husband...

Our Little Lady Bug...She had to stay inside most of the time cause it was soo cold out!

We took advantage of her two naps daily to play outside in the snow.

Adysen loves her Grammy so much!

Me and my SIL Jordan..Love that girl!

Building our snowman....

Still building..the snow was so soft it was just not happening for us!

Finally, snowman was done! We had a blast building the "little man".

Michael built a snow cave with the boys!

Our little Caden loving the snow cave!

My brothers and Michael thought it would be fun to try and go down the hill on shovels..lets just say they did not make it too far before crashing. They crack me up!

Michael trying the "shovel" sled.

Aaron and Jordan got some major air on this run...that was a hard hit to the ground for them. OUCH!

Michael suceeded at snowboarding for the first time! I tell you he can do anything the first time...

My little Jakeman rode the slopes all day everyday...

Forecast for the week:

-LOADS and LOADS of laundry and housework :(

-Adysens 1st birthday this weekend.

-Hopefully we can throw a few more fun things in there before the boys have to go back to school.

Christmas pictures to come soon!!

"Fleece" Navidad

"Fleece" Navidad was our theme this year...I was really getting stressed out about what we were going to do for our neighboors/friends this year because with the whole house being sick off and on and all the craziness happening I was running out of time and was just not getting enough baking done!! So I came up this solution...

It turned out really cute I thought and mission was accomplished! The boys had fun running up to our neighboors/friends houses handing them out and shouting "Merry Christmas".

My sister and I were able to get a couple of things made and baked this year....

My grandmothers famous cheeseball...Oh it is to die for!

I know you are probably thinking that it doesnt look good, but oh let me tell you!

Then we put together the boys teacher each a gift...I thought this mug was so cute! It says on the mug "Get your jingle on" and it has jingle bells around the bottom (which you can take off to make the hot chocolate mug useful). Cute and Simple!

So now that my missions have been accomplished..I can sit back and relax!

Yeah right, I only wish I could do that!

Forecast for the next week:

-Family Snow Trip--Up in good 'ole Greer for the next 5 days!

-Finish wrapping gifts

-Tying up any last minute loose ends.

-Hopefully at some point getting my house back in order....Its bad right now! Yikes.

We hope everyone has a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Each one of you has touched our lives somehow and we feel so blessed everyday to have such wonderful family and friends!
