Well..here ya go.

I have downloaded the picture system to Tony's computer so some things still need to be worked out but hopefully this will make it easier.

To start, here is a 5 month pic of the belly. I am almost 6 now, but we were running out the door for Thanksgiving and I just took the shot in the mirror since I have neglected to do any others. I asked Tony to, but he was already in the car ready to go. So sorry for the not-so-great shot, but there is thy belly. :)

Tony came home from work last week with a family project. It involved marshmallow's and toothpicks. It was fun. We made our little family and each person makes their own. The boys needed some help and really just wanted to eat everything, not to mention it was getting late and the meltdowns had started big time. But it did turn out fun.

The final project. I did the little mommy and the baby, and Tony helped with everything else.

Here is the notorious 15 ft tree that Tony cut down. It took two saws, 6 people and a huge tractor to get it up the hill to our car and through the tree shaker and twiner thing. Plus it was freezing outside, but the boys were very patient as they watched.


Thought we could get a family pic for a Christmas card, but the gal could care less about it, and we have more of her tree's in the pic then the kids or smiles. But it at least documented the occasion.

These two cuties frozen, and waiting for hot coco.
I wanted this pic at the end, but for some reason it wont let me move it. I actually took this picture today. Arent they sweet?! Noah really wanted Zach to sit on his lap and for a few moments he did! We got several sweet shots but I loved this one the most. They play all the time together. Although they fight and wrestle, they have so much love too. Noah is in the habit of taking Zach's toys now and tucking them in with blankets and a stuff animal, turning out lights and closing doors for nap. He then goes downstairs to give me the whole scoop on how he rocked them and gave them a pacifier. He is very concerned daily for the new baby Chloe. Always asks about her and what she is doing. I think the main problem we will have is that he will want to do it all! Diaper changes to nap time. Man do I wish he really could!


Ahhh yes. The first hair cut. I was conservative since we still have Santa pics but the back was SO long and curly. See how it goes over the pj's? He did great and was patient, but now looks a bit like a mushroom so I am going to attempt to get the rest after this weekend.

The final pic. So uneven and hard to cut curls! They just bounce up way higher then where you cut them. Thankfully it grows fast!

Here is the funniest pic of the week. He is in his big bed now, and I heard him reading and playing happily. After a bit it was quiet so I assumed he found a spot on the floor like he has done, but when I went in, he was out on the chair with his head bobbing up and down. I was laughing quietly and trying to take this picture before cracking up. After I took this, I just picked him up and put him in his bed where he finished his nap time. Noah would have been up and ready for the day for sure. He is a sleeper like me.

We went to the beach after a long time away for Thanksgiving weekend. Again, freezing outside, but had to "go fishing".

Here are these two shooting cars down into the kitchen.

And lastly, this one. Man oh man. He is on the top of the bunk beds, which he loves and does great with but he has 100 different reasons for getting out of bed. The last one was for his crab ears. We were like,fine get them and go to bed already, thinking he would just put them in his room, again as I checked him he had put them on himself and fallen asleep.

That is just part of the fun we have been having. Noah also had his first Christmas concert which was soo fun. He even said his name in the mike. Extra bonus that all the grandparents were there for the big debut.

Other news is that I have had a ton of pressure and been very uncomfortable at night. Finally I went in and everything looks great. They took and ultrasound and she gave me the thumbs up sign so she is good. But now I am trying out a maternity belt. Wha?! But so far so good. We will see how it goes. We are getting down to the wire here to start all the kids rooms, but somehow it will all get done.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
