Happy Thanksgiving!

This picture was taken at the Barnson Family Ranch in Circleville on Thanksgiving 2011. This is all of Nate's family and their kids to date, minus the newest addition (Kadi Delcore), Nate's sister's baby. If you think that Nate looks a little out of place in his outfit, it is because he was actually photoshoped in. He couldn't be there, but his mom needed a family picture. I think it is pretty funny that the photo editor kept him in his suit instead of just replacing his cousin's head (the man who stood in for him). He He. We will look back at these times and giggle a bit.

I am holding Kaden (15months), Jackson is center front in yellow (5 in kindergarten), and Brenan is sitting next to him in the tan pants (3).

Goodbye Muncie Friends - We love you!

My Boys...In May

Kaden - so happy and content

Jackson loves this outfit because every time I wash it there it is on him again. His favorite color is orange. He is getting so big. He wakes up every morning now and puts on his clothes, makes his bed and brushes his teeth before he even talks to me. I think that is amazing. He really is a good boy.

Oh, Brenan. His middle name these days is "Tweek Tweek". The terrible 2's have set in a bit and he is very emotional. He "Tweeks Out" alot. He found out how to get in and out of his crib, but I managed to convince him to stay in there for naps still. I know that it won't last long, but I will do it till it doesn't work any more. In this picture he just woke up. He had crawled out of his crib, put his sock drawer in the crib, and then got back in to sleep with his socks... Silly boy.

Kaden doesn't know what to think of Brenan sometimes. He is always touching him. However, he laughs at the boys and loves them. This is a picture of them in their new outfits from Grandma Holman.

March Activities

What would we do without William? He is my boy's closest friend.

Still Chunky in March. He almost weighs 19 pounds. He is so calm and happy. I just love him.

He is actually really good at building blocks! He is very creative and he is always smiling, unless he wants candy and is told no. That is the only time he throws tantrums.

Jackson gets bored during Brenan's nap. As you can see we melded a house together out of play dough. He put his ninjas in a bed he made for them inside. It is good to have each other. I need him - he is my best friend.

Valentines Day

Valentines Day was a wonderful day. We went on a great date to the golf course country club where my friend sang live and we danced on a small dance floor in the middle of the restaurant. I pull this dress out about once every other year. Yeah. You forget how wonderful it is to dance together. It seems like we are always waiting for time to take a class together or to get a babysitter for an occasion like this, but I thought it was one of my favorite dates in a long time.

Freedom!

I really like this picture of Nate at his aunts ranch in Circleville, Utah. Freedom!

Indiana Ice Storms and Friend

Ice Storms in Indiana are common. There was a sheet of ice from the first ice storm of the season that was 3 inches thick on most of the roads for a couple of weeks. This is a picture of our backyard. The snow is about 1 feet deep, and the boys on many days could've ice skated on the top. It took great effort to "dig for treasure". Being from Utah, it was something I hadn't ever seen before.

William James (far right) is my boy's best friend. He is only 2, but Jackson (age 4) and him are pretty much tied together at the hip. Brenan, being 2 also, is always ready to give a good punch, or take a coveted toy away. He seems to spice up everything.
