Birthday and Christmas Festivities

This year our Holiday Season was SUPER busy! We went to St. George to attend Darrick's Brother's wedding and got to celebrate Kennedie and her cousin Lindsey's Birthdays. We also got to spend Christmas with some of our extended families and we really had a lot of fun...But what would a trip be without our kiddos getting sick......which they did....but we seem to be on the mend for now. Santa ended up pulling through this year and delivered the one thing Kennedie asked Santa for " A REAL DOGGIE" So now our family of 4 is now 5 with the addition of Hurley. Thanks to everyone for an amazing Holiday season. Pictures of the wedding will be posted as soon as I get through all of them.

Our Little Girl is 3 Already!

Happy Birthday to our Sweet Kennedie! We can hardly believe you are 3 Years old already. You are such a bright and clever Big girl and we love you so much. Today wasn't a very fun day for you because you just aren't feeling that great, but we are grateful to have been able to spend time and celebrate your birthday with family and we know you will be ready for some Super fun this weekend at your Birthday Party!

Happy Birthday to Andrew...

So Grandma Lawyer came to visit and we had a few friends over to celebrate Andrew's 1st Birthday! He had lots of fun and received lots of gifts from family and friends! Thanks everyone for making the day so special for us!

Our Little Man is ONE YEAR OLD!

Our Andrew turned One Year Old yesterday and we can hardly believe it! He is such a happy little boy most of the time and LOVES his big sister like crazy. He wants to do everything she is doing and loves to giggle at her too! He has almost mastered walking by himself and gets into EVERYTHING! We are so lucky to have this little one in our family and are looking forward to many more birthdays in the future. WE LOVE YOU ANDREW! Happy 1st Birthday!

The Birch Family Photo shoot

So I got to do a family photo shoot for the Birch family at this really cool run down farm...the most interesting shoot to date! We did get a few good shots. Check out some of the other shots at http://picturethisphotographybyteri.blogspot.com/

Mom...Look what I can do....

So the other day I was unloading the dishwasher and getting ready to reload it and turned around to THIS! He had climbed up to see what was inside! The little STINKER!

Late Posting ...but He's almost not 11 months old anymore!

So this is a quick shot of Andrew at 11 months old. I thought I should post it since he will be turning ONE on Saturday. He is such a BOY, love getting into stuff he isn't suppose to, climbing on everything and has started taking steps all by himself! We can hardly believe how fast he is growing up! We love you Andrew!

Our Feast!

We had a great Thanksgiving Feast! With Turkey and Pilgrim hats as well! Today I am most grateful for my little family, for the fun times we have together and the memories we get to make! I love you Guys! Happy First Thanksgiving Andrew!

Hapyy Turkey Day!

Happy Turkey Day! Hope everyone has a YUMMY day!

SANTA

It's that time again....which means an annual trip to see Santa Claus. However our kids aren't quite old enough to not have melt downs...and that's ok because at least it is documented as it will be every year to come! Kennedie did end up standing and talking to Santa after the picture was taken and she told him everything she wanted for Christmas, including a REAL PUPPY DOG! Yikes!

Finally...only 1 in DIAPERS!!

So I just wanted to post a SUPER important piece of information about our Sweetheart Ms. Kennedie.......She finally gets it!!! The potty thing...she finally gets it! YEA for Kennedie and for Mom. We have been doing it for about 2 and a half weeks with just a few minor accidents! Great Job Cutie! WE SURE LOVE YA! You're a BIG GIRL NOW!

Elf Yourself

The Culprit and my saving grace...

So this morning started out SUPER rough...I had lots to do today, I was still in my PJ's and I was loading some stuff into the car before heading up to take a shower so I could get some errands done, I closed the door behind me so Andrew wouldn't fall down the stairs and Kennedie decided to LOCK the door...AHHHH.... So NO KEYS with me, NO PHONE with me and standing in the FREEZING cold weather we had today trying to talk my almost 3 year old into unlocking the door............Needless to say all of us were standing on opposites sides of the door crying and trying to help Kennedie realize she needed to twist the button in order for Mom to come back inside the house. After some PANIC and then PRAYING and standing outside for almost 30 minutes she did it! My Saving grace!!! Wow did I learn a lesson and I hope she did too! So now I know to always take my keys with me when heading out the door, especially when I have little ones around!

Andrew's 10 month old pictures

So these are Andrew's 10 month old pics and I am just getting around to posting them! We can hardly believe he is starting his 11th month and will be a year old before we know it! YIKES! He is into everything and almost has the walking thing mastered! We love our Andrew!
