Christmas Time!

We've been super busy this Christmas! Caden and Addison have been home for about 2 weeks and I think they're both ready to go back! (I'll be honest...I'm ready for them to go back too!!! We had a WONDERFUL Christmas and even got about 6 inches of snow! I hope you and your families also had a great Christmas! We sang Happy Birthday to Daddy and Jesus and talked about the most wonderful birth ever! Santa brought Addison a stroller! A few weeks before Christmas it snowed and Brian took the kids out in it! I don't go out...you know I could slip...or...ahem...get cold!

Caden got a SWAT outfit and has been arresting Addison on a regular basis. Sad thing is she really doesn't mind most of the time. However, when she does mind he certainly gets frustrated with her resisting arrest!

This was also a few weeks before Christmas!

Caden sang during the Hanging of the Greens service at church!!

I found this picture on the camera. Brian took it. I'm not even sure where the picture was taken but I was very impressed!!

Happy New Year! (I will update soon with the pictures off of Brian's new camera! Mimi came to visit and we had a great time!!!)

Christmas with friends!

Tonight we had some friends overs for dessert! The kids had a great time! Addison and Emory love, love, love each other! They danced and hugged, Addison stole Emory's crackers....they had a blast! Here they are...what a crew! I can't believe they all looked in the same (almost) direction at the same time! (We missed you Leah and Jenni!)

its 10pm

and Addison is up with an "ouchy" in her tummy. in the meantime we are watching beauty and the beast for the millionth time....

Collins at 20 weeks 3 days

We had so much fun looking at our newest baby today! I can't wait to meet him/her!! He/she is VERY busy so Collins should get along great with Caden and Addison!! We're half way and I know it'll be here before we know it! Christmas break is going to be dedicated to getting the nursery ready! I remember when Brian and I moved into our current house how big it seemed. At the time Caden was only a year old and while we had plans to add two more children they weren't taking up space! My mom told me it would feel very small by the time we added two more children. She couldn't have been more right! I can't wait to have a house full of our 3 babies!

we have a very healthy baby!

I will. update more later. I can't wait to find out if Collins is a sweet baby boy or girl!

Here are a few!!

Here are some more pictures from the day we spent in old salem! This top one is a favorite! It wouldn't have turned out so awesome if we had said her name but she was turning around because they were really getting too far infront of us! Enjoy!!

(make sure you look at the two post below this! yes, believe it or not I blogged 3 times today!)

I love the way she loves him!

I just love the way she loves him! When he's with us or not she says "nuh nuh" a million times! Yes, Caden and I both get tired of it. However, I think if she ever quit we'd both be sad! He is caution and she is fearless...he is sweet she is spunky....he is silly she is sillier...together they make a perfect team! I can't wait to see how Collins fits into this mix! (Addison is sleeping and Caden is sitting here with me. He just asked if he could wake Addison up! As much as he says she makes him crazy...he's just as in love with her as she is with him!)

20 WEEKS!

I can't believe it but Tuesday marked 20 weeks! Tomorrow, Brian and I will take the kids to go see Collins. I'm a little concerned that Addison is going to be VERY sad when she realizes that she cannot hold him/her! ha! That's all she talks about...holding her baby! I think I'm going to have my hands full...but I can't wait!!

So...pray that we have a healthy and happy baby tomorrow. It's strange going but not finding out if Collins is a boy or girl but I'm so excited! I'll post pictures tomorrow!!

she dressed herself...

but in her brothers clothes he wore today. silly girl!
