Winter fun

YEA it is winter and my kids are loving it. I love it if I don't have to drive in it or anyone I love for that matter. Though I'm looking forward to spring I know every season has its time. and besides I wouldn't want to miss all the fun holiday things to do in winter or my little boy Wesstin's first impressions of snow, or my big boys jumping for joy as they put on snow pants to go play in the pasture. It's the one time in the morning that the first words out of there mouth aren't what's for breakfast. We also love being rosy cheeked and sipping hot chocolate with marshmallows. Stevan loves pulling the kids behind the motorcycle on there sled that's when we always know it's definitely winter now!


My wesstin is getting so big. I love watching all his little quriks and seeing how his mind works. He's a sweet sweet boy and I'm so lucky to be his mom. All by boys for that matter. Stevan and I are just so happy and so proud of our family. It's really fun being with the one you love and wathcing the family you made grow and flurish right before your eyes. It's the best thing for the soul I could imagine. I love that you have these people in your life that your building history with. Knowing that no matter what life throws you they'll be there.

This year we went up and cut down our own Christmas tree with our dear dear family friends the Vaughns. WE had so much fun up there. Anything we do with them is a blast. There a true treasure of life! I love this pic of Stevan he is such a handsome good man. He is my rock, strength and light in my life. I'm so glad to know he always has my back and would truly do anything for me and our family. I hope he knows how much I truly adore and love him. I couldn't imagine a better friend or husband.
Poor Norman our cow didn't make it. I will never try bottle calves again that was a hard heart breaking ordeal. Though it did make some fun memories.
Daddy pulling the sled. wesstin would not get off the book. He literally held on with all his strength everytime he would come around fearing mom would make him get off.
Thanksgiving was a great day this year. The boys had fun we had fun we talked about being thankful and just enjoyed family. It truly was what Thanksgiving is supposed to be this year. Even when family isn't right next to you all the times you wish they could be it feels good to think about them and talk about them. Makes them feel just a little closer.
This is baby Kiria. My friend Flea's little girl. We go the previlage of watching her the other weekend. She is the sweetest, dearest little girl ever. The boys had so much fun with her.

The hulk boy as we loviingly call him LOL This kid cracks me up. He has so much imagination!
I can't belive Hayden is going to be 9. I feel like everytime I turn around he grows up a little more. I'm so proud of him. He's very responsible and mature for his age. He's a great big brother son and person in general. Here he is up in the mountians the day we picked out our tree.
Sweet Brendon. He has such life and light in his eyes. He is always happy and has a good attitude. He is becoming a great big brother and is always looking out for Wesstin.
Here is Brendon's great find at our local youth ranch. We spend a lot of time treasure hunting here in town. I love that my boys are proud to save money and don't always need everything new. That is a very important lesson you need to learn in life and I'm so glad that get it when there young.
Brendon's new bike from Grandma. That is the coolest John Deere thing I've ever seen. It will put many miles on between the boys. They absolutely love it

One of my favorite pics so far of my boys. There first snowman of the year. Sadly right after this pic they broke it to pieces but they had fun doing it!
Brothers what more can I say! Life is good!
