Christmas Tree

I had lots of help with the Christmas tree this year. I opened the container of ornaments and they boys went to town before I could "fluff" the tree. I had to stop them so I could at least have the limbs looking half way decent. I only hung 4 large balls and their 3 glass balls. I had to make sure they were hooked on good! They did the rest!

Miles was first. 

Then Jackson.

Miles stopped for a second for a picture. 

Carter would not stop long enough for a picture.

Thank goodness the tree is near the stairs. I have ornaments all up the back side of the tree!

Carter wanted to pose like this. 

J and Miles were still busy hanging 15 balls on one branch.

I see TROUBLE!!! Someone started shooting the nerf balls in the tree. 

Nothing like searching the Christmas Tree for nerf balls!!

November iPhone Pictures

I can't believe it's already December! November was busy but fun.

Nothing like eating Halloween candy all day long!

We took the boys to Target to look at the toys and to get ideas for Christmas. Two hours in the toy section will make you crazy!! It's safe to say they want everything in the store.

I took all 3 boys for hair cuts and then ran a couple of errands. This is how they felt about looking at mattress pads.

This was my view while I cooked dinner. We played outside and then the boys played on the porch and deck until it was time to eat. 

I only took pictures of the puppies while we played outside this day!

Carter had fun marking the wish book while eating his applesauce and bacon. 

Carter is scared to death of fire trucks. He got upset when the teacher read a book about them. I'm shocked he put this hat on. He would not let the teacher put it in his book bag. He said put it in Miles' bag. 

A little coloring before school. 

My farmhouse table Micheal made me. The benches are made they just need staining. We will be eating on the porch a lot this spring and summer. 

This is how we eat snacks. 

Carter and the puppies. This boy loves these two puppies!

They had to sit beside me while I ate breakfast.

Jackson said that he was glad the puppies finally like him. Haha!! 

Sad face by Miles. 

These two love their blanket in the shop!

This is 5 minutes after we come in from getting Jackson. Carter is coloring, J is eating and Miles grabbed J's Bible and started reading. 

A little reading before bedtime.

Happy 7th Birthday! 

This is how they go down the stairs. 

A dance party at Scrappy's house!

Walking into school.

Gus wanted to slide with the boys.

This was the day of the Thanksgiving party at school. Miles acted sick when I got there so we left. He wasn't sick. He wanted a hot dog and fries from the Sonic!!

This make me and Jackson happy!! We love no homework days!

The first time Miles wrote his name for us. Carter hasn't done it yet. 

A little child labor. They like dusting!

They wanted to help me make cookies!

And they didn't like waiting for them to bake.

Jackson has had fun playing with his birthday toys.

Rolos for breakfast. 

And putting up a Charlie Brown tree in our dining room!

Then decorating the big tree in the den.

Christmas Cards 2014

The story of my life.... 

All I wanted was one half way good picture. Let's hope I have something a little better than this.

Party Time!

I think it is safe to say Jackson had a blast at his birthday party! This boy loves to skate (and fall).

Just rolling around.

And getting up.

Miles had  so much fun running around. 

I wonder if he thought he was skating with the big kids?

And he fell too.

Carter just hung out around the games even though they were not on,

Jackson skated the entire time! 

Carter finally said...take my picture mom. 

He was happy with all of his gifts!
