Brinley turned FIVE!

My first baby girl turned 5! She's a doll. Seriously loved by everyone...and I mean everyone. She is a magnet at school. All the girls want to be her friend and the boys want to be her boyfriend. Yes...in PRESCHOOL! She's my mini-me. I just love her so much and am so happy to have her. She will NOT cut her hair. She refuses to wear anything other than a poofy skirt or dress. Her favorite color is PINK. And she LOVES to shop. Cracks me up! Of course I had to throw in a couple of pics of the twinners. <3<3

Emry and Paisley turn ONE and Christmas

I can't believe my BABIES are now ONE! We had a little family party for them at our house. They were tired and didn't really cooperate too well, but that's how it goes when your a baby. We continue to be so blessed to have them as a part of our family. They started walking right before their actual birthday, and now they are literally running everywhere. They are so happy they can walk around and they follow us everywhere like little puppies...especially if you have FOOD! Christmas was just 4 days after their birthday. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve, watching the Grinch and ordering Mama G's. Uncle Ryan and Aunt Amanda and Ella came over for the evening and to stay the night. Christmas morning was great. The kids seem to get more and more excited each year they get older. Tristan's big wish was to get a drum set, Easton a horse and Brinley a pony. Easton is obsessed with horses even though he's never really seen or been around one. I don't know where it started but he's in love with horse stuffed animals lol! We had a good laugh when Jim's Christmas gift for me arrived in the mail...from CHINA...words written in CHINESE....a pair of fake UGG boots. hahahaha. He totally thought he was getting a good deal when he ordered them. So good they weren't real :). I must say he pulled through and on Christmas morning I opened a pair of REAL ones. Poor guy!

Turkey Day and Tristan's baptism!!!

My mom made the girls these cute turkey hats! This year we went over to Austin and Crystal's to celebrate and as usual dinner was amazing! Thank gosh we have a bunch of awesome cooks in our family. December 3rd Tristan turned the big 8!!!! He was so excited to get baptized and we are so proud of him. Daddy baptized him at our church on Dec. 5th, right after his birthday. We celebrated his birthday right at church and then he got to go solo with us to Outback for a steak dinner...his FAVORITE!

Fall :)

Of course my Halloween post went before this. Oh well! The boys both played football this year. Tristan had to move up to mighty mite because of his weight. It was a VERY rough year for him. He did not want to play and it was a struggle all year to get him to practice and games. He wanted to quit forever, but thankfully since it ended he has mentioned playing next year. So we will see! Easton on the other hand LOVED football. It was his first year playing and he was on the tiny mite team. He is definitely playing next year he says! On our way home from a game, we found a little farm that sold pumpkins and had a little petting zoo. The owner came out and took a picture of the babies to post on her FB page :)

Halloween

Halloween was fun as usual. I stayed home with the babies and handed out candy. Dad took the older kids out to trick-or-treat. :)
