A few updates...

So are you telling me that this tiny little bum will turn into this giant size monster bum? I don't believe it. Ben is a tank. That has become his nick name lately. He's huge. Heavy, chubby and huge.

Last weekend we went on our 2nd annual mini vacation to downtown to see the lights, shop, pass out homeless kits, and stay at Little America. We had a great time. Well, minus the huge mess of loosing Caleb at City Creek. Yes, people. We lost our 3rd child for over 45 minutes. It was one of those experiences I will never forget. Nor will I forget the depth of prayers that were said. Miracles happen and yes, prayers are answered. And yes, tears of joy were shed when he was found! (These pictures are all before getting lost...all the fun died after he went missing, no more pictures)

Mini M&M's

Candy Windows

Family photo, minus Ben. (He stayed home with my parents) And Andrew was in the stroller bundled up nice and warm.

Last picture taken..my battery died. We had a great time.

Baby face pictures. He's starting to grow. He will be 4 weeks old in two days. Oh, what a joy he has been.

I love his face!

And I love this kids face too. I made 9 batches of toffee...and Ben came around just in time when they were finished. Let's just say that the batch he found became our families batch to enjoy!

Yup. He's hooked and he loved it!

If you love my toffee you better tell me now because I'm heading out to deliver them tomorrow!

Baby Andrew

So today, the little dude had his eyes open...SHOCKER. He has been so super sleepy as all newborns are. So I thought I'd hurry and snap a few photos. Nothing fancy. Trust me I wish I knew how to use my fancy camera, let a lone how to take photos. Maybe in my next life I'll have time to learn how to do it all. But until then I'll just capture the moment of this sweet little dude. This picture cracks me up. He looks so chubby. But man alive this is a tiny baby still. 2 weeks appointment he weighed in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. 20 inches.

I think this is the look I get all the day long from him. He is a sweet heart. I couldn't be happier to have him here. Honestly, he's a doll. It's the other kids that cause me to have headaches everyday. Not you little one.

I'm a cute baby!

I love his long feet and toes. I love to watch how each little toe curls up. So cute.

My boys always have these darling wrinkly little foreheads.

These pictures make him look like he has red hair...not the case. It's brown. And this picture really doesn't look like him at all. Funny. Seriously, do pictures even capture his look...I think not. Each picture it looks like a different baby.

Cute sneezing baby.

Recent Holiday Happenings...

First year hanging Christmas lights on the new house...Thankfully, last year for Christmas Jared got that sweet tall ladder for his gift. He couldn't be happier he owns it now that our roof is MUCH taller. We also inherited some extra "lawn ornaments" from the family members that have too many lights. I have to admit our lights look much cuter than we expected.

One of my favorite places in the house. I LOVE having this board in our dining room. It is a constant changing thing, depending on the holidays, scripture study, FHE, job charts, etc. It's been the BEST thing ever. Maybe a little busy and cluttered, but it is so well used I love it! That was our darling gratitude tree, it was FUN.

Pretty flowers that were delivered a few days after we came home from the hospital. They were beautiful!

Hanging up ornaments on the Christmas Tree...a little super glue was used to fix all the broken ornaments from the year before.

Caleb was so happy to be reunited with his stocking again....the kids LOVE their stockings.

The kids were excited to find a small santa hat that fits Andrew.

Alayna and Jake are taking Piano. They couldn't be happier. Alayna is looking at Jake's new piano book with him.

Andrew took a bath...he has fun curly fuzzy hair when it's wet.

I love this baby!

And if these SMILES don't just make you happy...Seriously, these BOYS are CRAZY...and since we normally do showers instead of baths, they were in HEAVEN when Jared let them take a bath. I think it was a first in the past 6 months. They loved the bubbles and wrestling each other.
