First Camping Trip of 2015

It has been such nice weather here that Nathaniel decided to take the three older boys camping at the Spit yesterday and today. They took our new trailer and loaded up the bikes. It was suppose to rain during the night so instead of setting up the tent, they just slept in the trailer! I think they had a great time. Mommy got to stay home with the three young ones and go play at McDonalds!

Rainy Weekend

This is how we spend a rainy weekend, burying Wesley in stuffed animals and making Brigham smile!

Logan turns 5

Logan was so excited all day to open his presents that he kept asking when everyone was coming over.  We didn't have his party till 6:30 that night so it was a looooong wait for Logan. At one point during the day, Logan and Grandma Burt were together and she mentioned that he was 5 years old. Logan replied that he "isn't 5 until I open my presents"! The day was going good until the boys got too wild and Jesse split his forehead open. That put a big damper on things. I didn't get pictures of Jesse's owie because that is just gross! Logan loved his toys (his brothers loved them too). He got legos, a coon-skin hat, a truck-trailer carrying two big trucks, and lots more cool things. Logan asked for a dragon cake, but it could easily have been considered a salamandar, dinosaur, etc.

 

Brigham

Sorry this video is a bit long, but he was being so happy and cute for such a good while during his usual colicky time. This is for you Grandparents!

Winter Break!

Brigham all bundled up to go out in cold weather to run errands. (I made the hat a couple of years ago but never used it)

Joshua ready to have a paintball war with Nathaniel, David, and Cody.

 I found a warm snuggly sleeper for Brigham that he has never worn (I misjudged again how big he has gotten) and Logan couldn't stop touching and snuggling him.

Christmas Cheer!

We have had a joyous Christmas! I realized I didn't get very many pictures taken but got lots of video. 

Wesley eating his Christmas breakfast with two spoons.

The aftermath of Christmas minus the wrapping paper!

Wesley got a hand-me-down baby doll that is the same size as Brigham.

Joshua showing off his skills with his new wood burning tool!

Nathaniel took the four older boys to see "The Box Trolls" movie on Saturday, this is what they made on Sunday morning. We now have Halloween costumes all ready for next year!

Here are the 'trolls' hiding!

I finally captured Brigham smiling!! He was having a blast looking at his "twin".

Blessing Day

We had Brigham's baby blessing last Sunday. I just love the blessing outfit that has made it through all 6 boys now! We attempted to take a nice family picture after Sacrament Meeting, but a few of the boys were not happy about it. I think they were tired of sitting still for so long.
