My sweet baby boy!

Gunner has been so lucky as to have 2 birthday parties this year! He got to share a party on Monday with his cousin Jamon.

 

Poor little guy ended up waking up in the night with croup. You can tell by his face that he doesn't feel good.

Eating his cake with his sad little eyes!

Party #2, the real thing! This is the first time I've ever made a fondant cake!

He actually blew out his own candle!

Enjoyed cake for the 2nd time this week :)

And opened presents!

My sweet BIG boy! I can't belive it's already been a year! I don't know if I've said before but he has been walking since nine and a half months and is officially into everything! And he climbs on anything and everything he possibly can. But he really is the best natured baby you could have, just calm and happy :) we love you SO much baby boy! Happy Birthday!!!

Oh and PS in case you didn't notice, for the first time in my life I am not Blond!

New Years

We always spend New Years at the cabin with my family. And as always we had a lot of fun. The only downer was that 2 of my kids were sick! Deeg had a sore throat, and then the first night (and only night thanks to this) Auni woke up with croup! Sweet!

Doesn't this seem a little backward?

Deegan was sledding and didn't stop before he got to the driveway and went right under my brother in law's truck! It was actully pretty funny :) luckily its a tall truck so he didn't hit anything but it still freaked him out. And just so I don't seem like a bad parent, I took this picture about 15 min after it happend. I had already hugged him better several times, he was just being dramatic at this point :)

Auni having her dramatic moment as well. Help Me Mom Help Me!

Clint got to enjoy his favorite winter activity too!

Christmas

So.. this is going to sound retarded but, I didn't take any pictures of Christmas morning! It was kinda crazy, we got it all on video but no reg pictures. This picture was actually from earlier in the month and I just thought it was funny. Kids and their snow boots!

All the grandsons on Christmas Eve

The Grandaughters

The 3 trouble makers!

Auni's face looks so funny in this one! But Deegan sure does look handsome!

bleh..

Well I haven't posted in a while because honestly I just haven't felt like it :) so here are some things we've done lately. This was our family home evening project last Monday. Deegan was obsessed, he kept wanting to put his little plastice reindeer on the roof.

Just a picture of the kids.

Deegan (for you Lor)

I just have to share my son's prayer from the other night. He had told Clint to go out so he could say them and of course Clint hid so he could hear him. It went about like this...

"Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. And Santa Claus, bring me a yellow boat. With a shark. An a thing to hold the shark. A round thing, not a squishy thing. And Jesus, you say your prayers like a big boy. Goodnight Heavenly Father."

How cute are kids!!! We did have to tell him that we don't pray to Santa :) and that we would write him a letter.

HaLlOwEeNn.. OoOoOo!

Here they are in their costumes! I forgot to take a pic at the first of the night, so this is the end and they don't look as good as they did earlier.

He looks like a little puppy right here :)
Pumpkins!
Yep.. Deeg still hates it!

Auni was good to go!

Cheese!
