"I need help."

Poor guy fell off the stool in the kitchen and busted his lip and hurt his chin tonight. He is such a trooper and I love watching him as he comes to show me his lip!

Car Video Game

I am so thankful for family time together. Tonight I had a little break between appointments, and we all cuddled up on the couch and played a car video game together on the Apple TV, and then had a dance party. Just simple things, but i love that we all do it together. These moments make the best memories!

Sweet Stripes

My Lincoln

Finger chewing

All he wants to do these days!

Just another Sunday

I am so thankful for moments like these where I can watch the ones I love. I love to watch the love that Brent has for them, and then for him. We missed him so much while he was gone this week and love having him here!

Hair Do

We thought we were about ready to leave for church when we found Lincoln adding a little more product to his hair!

Little Elves

Lincoln got to go get his ornaments yesterday and the kids loved putting up their own trees in their rooms! I couldn't pick a favorite from these pictures! Winston was just so proud of himself for doing such a good job sitting!
I am thankful for the excitement that comes with every event and holiday with these kids! They make everything more fun!

Oh Christmas Tree

I love that this picture captures so much of the kids' personalities! Amelia's eyes are closed from laughing. Winston is grinning because is is always so happy to be sitting with his big sis. And then there is mischievous and silly Lincoln touching her tree while she isn't looking!

Action Dancing Shot!

I am thankful for dance parties. They are a daily occurrence at our house these days, and we have so much fun! Even Winston gets in on the action! I love seeing their cute little personalities Coke out in their dance moves!

Pizza Vampire Lincoln!

Mr. Reindeer

First Tooth!!

I am so thankful for tough kids! So many babies struggle so much through teething, and Winston has been such a trooper! He has had a couple of moments, but this guys is so tough! People look at Brent and I funny when we laugh at our kids if they get hurt, but when they see us laugh, they can almost always bounce back so quickly!

Daddy's New Toy!

Rub a dub dub

I am thankful for bath time. These cuties (and Winston) love bath time so much, and I love to see them working their imaginations! They line up their toys, have them talk to each other, and are so particular about each and every toy. They giggle and laugh and tease each other. I am going to be so sad when they are too old to enjoy this time every day!

That face.

I am also so thankful for this sweet face.

Bedtime Shenanigans

I am thankful for those smiles.

Creepy Nursery Cam Shot

I am so thankful Brent and I parent together. I can't imagine how the life of our kids would be if they didn't have two parents home all the time to care for them. Nighttime can be rough some nights, but most of the time we can get the kids down for bed pretty quickly together. I attempted to do some evening lash spots last night while he was of of town and it was so hard to get the kids to go to bed by myself! They are so lucky these days to have two parents at home every night who love them so very much!

Dinner!

Pizza dipped in frosting...

Shopping Buddy!

Cheese!!!

Loving our new carpet!!!

Hot Cocoa

Homemade hot cocoa was definitely needed after an afternoon of Christmas movies! The kids were so excited, and Amelia had asked me about 7,348 times all day. Also, Lincoln spilled his all over the floor about 5 seconds after this picture was taken. Hard to be mad when both of them were immediately on the floor helping me clean it up!

Love

I am so grateful for happy kids. We have our moments, but most of the time they are so happy. They love to play, giggle, snuggle, smile, and play! Tonight Amelia and Lincoln went to the nursery at the relief society activity, and the girls said they were the best behaved kids (out of 22) in there! Winston was with me and was throwing smiles and cute growls at everyone that glanced his way! They are so sweet and happy, and I am so lucky to be their mom!

High Chair Love

My dates this weekend!

I can't get enough...

Tithing Settlement

I am so grateful for opportunities to get to teach our kids about our testimonies. I have had so many amazing experiences from paying my tithing, and love that they are learning this same principle of the gospel early on in their lives. They were so cute on Saturday morning, going through their piggy banks and we were counting our ten percent to give to the bishop. I am so grateful for the gospel and the role it plays in our family's life.

Bedtime Giggles

Argentina

Down Time

This week has been crazy with getting new carpet, it took them three days to complete the project! The boys fell asleep at the same time today (since Lincoln was up by 6:30 this morning) and I had a million projects I needed to get done in the house. Amelia wanted to snuggle and watch Super Why. So I decided to do that instead. I love our snuggle time! I am so thankful that we get to have her as our oldest child. She is so smart and helpful, and is such a great older sister to the boys. She is always reminding me of things and being thoughtful. She is still only 3, and I think we forget that sometimes because she acts so much older. We tend to be a little harder on her sometimes than we probably should be for a 3 year old, but she takes it in stride. She is a light in our lives and always makes me giggle! So thankful for you, Amelia! Love you!

Starting Him Young

Dirty Face

Feet

I am so thankful to have two momma's boys. Lincoln has been especially clingy lately, wanting me to hold him, carry him, snuggle him, and help him with everything. He loves to color lately, but most of the time actually wants to have me color for him or draw him pictures. Winston is a total Momma's boy also, and sometimes is fussy just until I hold him. There are moments this can seem hard, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! Love these sweet boys of mine!

That profile...

Coloring

Smiles for sister

Sunglasses at Dinner

Doing Laundry

Good Morning

I am grateful for moments like these, when they can sneak in and steal my phone to watch a show on Netflix together while we sleep a little longer! I usually get mad at them when they sneak it, but after being up until 2am pulling up carpet last night, momma and daddy were absolutely exhausted! I love to watch them snuggle up together and get along!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

We had a blast at the movie, and then tried to get the wired, tired, and hungry kiddos to cooperate for a picture after haha! I am so thankful for family and that the kids get to have so many fun cousins to be their best friends! So far, they have 13 cousins, and it makes me so happy to watch them okay and interact with each other. I am so grateful that they have so many that live close, and that occasionally they get to see those that we miss from Minnesota and Arkansas! The kids are so blessed to have so many great relatives who love and support them!

Peanuts Movie

It is a little hard to see Amelia hiding in there, but Grandma and Grandpa had her, Lincoln, and Anniyah on their laps all at the same time during the movie for Grandma's birthday yesterday!

Cleaning Up!

Love my little helpers!

Smart Girl

Tummy Time...

... Is exhausting!

Baby Stages

I am so thankful for all the fun stages the kids go through! Winston is in one of my absolute favorite stages right now and I love to watch him discover the world around him! His smiles are so contagious and he loves interacting with anyone and everyone! He is starting to grab at things (especially momma's beck and hair), and has been starting to enjoy some of his baby toys. He can roll from front to back and vice Versa, but doesn't do it a ton. He thinks being startled with 'boo!' Is very funny. He adores Amelia and Lincoln unless he is concentrating on sitting in the bumbo or high chair, then he prefers to be left alone. He Houdinis out of his swaddle at night, but is still a pretty great sleeper if I can keep him in there! He loves his binkie. He loves his Daddy, but is kind of a Momma's boy!

Goodbye Marble Counter Tops!

The kids were helping me clean the mirrors in the bathrooms before the new granite counters got put in tonight! I am so grateful that they are such good helpers. They would be so happy to just help me do everything all day, every day. A few things they love to help with are taking care of Winston, cleaning mirrors and counters, loading and unloading the dish washer, washing dishes, Amelia loves to help dust, Lincoln loves to help me vacuum, baking or cooking, making the bed, putting clothes away, pressing the buttons on the washing machine and dryer, switching over the wet clothes, getting me hangers to hang up clothes, getting the mail, sweeping, bagging groceries, Amelia loves to help wash Lincoln's hair, getting drinks for dinner, and the list could go on and on! I am so grateful for these cute helpers and am excited to have them teach Winston all their ways!

Sunday Snuggles

I am so thankful for snugly kids. They seriously are so sweet when they snuggle up to you. Yesterday we relaxed all day after church, and the kids were so happy just to snuggle up next to us and watch movies. It is also probably one of my favorite parts about Sunday when we are all together!

High Chair

He is loving the high chair, and getting a new view in the kitchen!

Passed Out

The kids fell asleep yesterday (which never happens) for a nap! They are so sweet when they are sleeping!
