Last few months

November- Visit to Jon and Lyndsee's house for Mizzou game

         Boys playing guns

 Abby and Palmer

Matt and Grant at the Missouri Tigers Football game

We on short notice decided to make the 16 hour drive to Pocatello for Thanksgiving and blessed Palmer while we were there.  The boys were amazing and Palmer slept just about the whole time

Palmers blessing

 Palmer has been our happiest baby, but was the only one of our boys to scream through his blessing.  

 Matt's older sister and her family were the only ones not there from both sides of our family.  Considering everyone lives all over that  was quite impressive and so fun to see our whole families

 All the guys that were in the circle

Our First Christmas in Kansas City, we stayed and spent it as our little family

 Since I'm not the most crafty person I had to show off my stockings I made.  I am the type of person who would rather play outside or do something active and hire someone to make cute crafty things for me.  But here you go.  My prized stockings :)

 This is Santa's Holiday Express train that we got to tour

 Happy 29 to Matt.  

I made Matt a quilt out of his old meaningful t-shirts and jersy's from High School on.  Like I said I don't usually make things, and I swore while I neglected my kids and spent days cutting and sewing that I would never do this again.  But now that it's over and I love the final project I think I could actually maybe do it again one day.  My friend teased me that I should buy a frame and frame the quilt and you know I just may do that. :)

My boys love there blankets and thought it was the best idea to give Matt a blanket for his b-day.  They couldn't wait for his birthday and actually kept it a secret from him.  Movie night on Matt's b-day with his homemade quilt.  

Matt had two weeks off for Christmas break.  Since we stayed home we had so much fun exploring Christmas in KC and loved every minute with Dad.

We went to church and came home and opened more presents.  Grant loved his jammies so much he had to put them back on.

 My Super heroes

My boys are very energetic and always pretending to fight the bad guys.  Today dad got to join in with his Super hero shirt.  

 Tyson.  Love this kid.  He is such a stinker, but gives the best hugs and kisses and is so much fun when he isn't being a stinker

 Grant trying to look tough in his super hero shirt

 Finally got a smile out of him

 Palmer is so well loved

He wasn't to excited to be a super hero today.  

January has brought craziness.  Matt's semester has been so busy not to mention all the visits and meetings that come from being EQ President.  We have been super sick the last couple of weeks.  A  fever and cough have rotated through all of us.  I have been in survival mode.  Being sick myself with 3 sick boys and being up every hour all night long for a week has taken it's toll.  There were days I didn't know how I was going to get through it.  But thank goodness for prayer I know I have had some extra help and have been carried through.  We seem to be feeling better now so hurray for 60 degree weather,  a healthy family, and a sleeping baby.
