Celebrating ..

So its been a busy couple months ... It all started out early November celebrating Mac's 3rd birthday ... My sweet first born is 3(feels like he should be 20 just sayin .. ) I love him to pieces he is extremely obsessed with everything Spiderman and Buzz Lightyear ... loves legos, anything chocolate, playing in the garage with his daddy and sneaking into our bed almost every morning around 6:00 ....
Then we celebrated Thanksgiving(sorry for the lack of pictures .. you should be used to my poor documentation skills by now) .. followed by Rexy's first trip to see Santa ... after this "standing in line pic was taken no others pics went quite as smoothly so we will leave it at this ...

Then we celebrated Annie's potty training .. hey its a big step!! Here she is taking a break from changing her own babies diaper ....

Then the celebration of Rexy graduating to big boy food!!

And drumroll ... Our Christmas celebration .... Here is our 2nd annual Happy Birthday Jesus Cake !! I will post more Christmas/ snow pics but this is all the pics this post could handle ...

Cute cousins ...

We had a mini photo shoot this afternoon in our yard .... These cousins are cuuuttteee ...

Watch the blog for birthday pics to come later this week ... I will have a 3 year old!!

A love-hate relationship ...

I have a serious love-hate relationship with photos .... LOVE when friends take good ones like this while we are out playing with kiddos picking out pumpkins and going on hayrides .... LOVE when I actually remember my camera on an outing at the mall for moments like this ...

LOVE pics of a boy so very happy to be eating some ice cream ...

HATE that these are the only 3 pictures I have to show for the last two months ... literally the only 3 ... wow

These kids crack me up ...

Rexy likes to wake up a bit earlier from his afternoon nap then the other two(I think it's because I kinda force him to nap when the others do and he might not be quite ready to go down but he has to for the sake of my sanity) so after waking this week he got his first ride in the swing .. And then there's this one ... he wanted his Gigi to paint him green like the hulk ... and she did ...

And Annie girl had her first lunch out with the girls this week ... all prim and proper ...

then there was dinner later ... not so prim and proper ...

a taste of what we do all day ...

Eat snacks in our tunnels ... Entertain our lil brother ...

Get stuck in the stroller ...

Get pushed in the stroller .. (a lil backwards ..)

A photo update

Some fun in the backyard ...

My latest "crafty" attempt .. I took all the ugly vases you kinda collect from the florist and some more from thrift stores and spray painted the inside white so they would all match for a couples shower I hosted a few weeks ago ... worked out pretty well ...

Z spending some man time with Rexy ....

Annie always into something ...

Top 2 reasons we love our friends ..

#1 ... They make life MUCH more fun and add so much life and laughter to our days .. I love watching my lil's play with their friends ..

#2 .. Our friends have good mommies that actually take pictures(good ones Linds) that document life and dont lose their cameras for months on end ...

We took another trip to the lake and took some friends a few weeks ago .. This is Riott and Mac playing some hardcore Toy Story .. the latest obsession at this house ...

We are thankful for friends ... and now that I have found my camera ... can I get a Hallelujah .. I will post more pics ...
