Good God, I love this boy!

Luke, still very much a "2 year old", has the potential to wear you down! But he's been cracking us up lately!!! He has such a neat personality. All the kids do of course! I just love watching their unique differences. Go ahead, gobble up his cuteness...



Didn't make it through Christmas movie night ;)

Lily reminds me a lot of Isaiah when he was a baby. Look at these smiles!

Lukey, a little under-the-weather. You never know if the sky will start falling while you're watching Shaun the Sheep...

The Luke-ster, feeling much better :)

The Feast

Orange-Thyme Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli Casserole, Sausage-Apple-Cranberry Stuffing, and Gravy...

The wanna-be turkey turned out awesome! So juicy!

Gabe got out of bed and joined us with some chicken noodle soup :)

Stuffed and happy!


My precious Gabe is having a hard time getting rid of a stomach virus. It hit a couple days ago and is just lingering. I was baking an apple pie, and then noticed a huge mess Luke and Lily got into, so I had to bathe them. Afterwards, I couldn't find Gabe.... poor thing put himself to bed at noon. He's always been such a beautiful sleeper. I have several pics since he was a baby of him sleeping. Love you bud...



Thanksgiving morning cuddles :) I asked Gabe this morning how his tummy felt. He said "A dot good". I have always loved his descriptions of things!

A this is what I call "Surfer Cowboy meets Elton John" ;)


One roll of painters tape: 2 dollars
A whole day of fun creating a town for cars: Priceless

We're a team

After having the bump on Luke's nose removed, I am supposed to keep Vaseline on it. It's not easy to keep him from wiping it off. It really needs a bandaid on it at all times. Luke doesn't really like it, so everybody pitched in and wore one just to keep Luke from ripping his off :)

Fun day with cousin Zach

My nephew Zach came over last weekend while his sister had a tea-party with her girlfriends. It was a gorgeous day! We even got to watch the combine harvester gather the soybeans from the field behind our house!





Lily woke up with Cindy-Lou-Who hair!


Zhu Zhu Pets

Supposedly these toys were all the rage last year. They are little hamsters that move around and "battle" each other. My kids just got into them and it's perfect timing because they are all on sale for $3! They had some money saved up so now they each have a couple. Santa might bring some of the accessories ;) It's been really sweet to watch them all play with them together. It's not easy to find an activity that interests babies all the way up to almost 8 year olds, but these things are so cute! I just loved watching them all huddled around together, cheering their pets on and laughing!
