Snowflake our silly elf-- Dec 18-24th

Our elf Snowflake came back this year to watch the kids and make sure they were being nice! Although our silly elf wasn't always so nice! The girls found her on Audrey's bed (Audrey sleeps with Cambria) watching a movie and eating cookies with the other animals!

She got the kids underwear and replaced their stockings!

She drew pirate stuff on the girls picture!

Got Cambria's ipod and was listening to songs!

In the fridge snacking on  icing!

Got out tootie fruities and spelled the kids names!

And made a mess of my purse!

Can't wait for her to come back next year! And of course she reported good news to Santa!

A fun few days

The girls getting ready to go out and play in the snow.

The girls helping me make banana bread! Cambria did most of the work as I helped her understand measuring and following the directions!

Cambria giving sweet loves to her little brother! She and Audrey are such great big sisters!

 

I took pictues of Audrey's teeth to try and show her what her thumb is doing but she doesn't really care or get it!

Audrey giving sweet loves to Beckham! She is always wondering where he is and if he is awake and wants to hold him. She also loves to make him laugh!

One more suck mommy

I have seriously tried so hard for about a year and a half now to get Audrey to quick sucking her thumb but to no avail she is still going strong!  I have tried putting this Thumb solution on which she sucks off in the night, thumb guards which she pulls her thumbs out of or cuts off the bands or sucks her other fingers.  This is her blanket going into the dryer and she told me "just one more suck mommy"! Crazy kid!

This is Audrey's room after I took my moms advice and gutted it out of the excess of toys.  I will admit me and Audrey are a lot happy with each other as I am now not getting after her so often to clean her room!

Beckham is not going to have a lack of pictures with Audrey taking so many and begging me not to delete them!  I only get rid of the blurry ones. There really is no story for the pictures  other than here is our cute boy!

Cambria's Baptism

We were so excited for Cambria's decision to be baptized! She had her dad do the baptism and confirmation of the Holy Ghost!

                                                      

Her old primary teacher and my friend Mandy Nord was so sweet and got her a new outfit to wear! She looked so beautiful!

Her cousin Rhiannon came.

Tim and his sweet girls!

Our first family photo!! I forgot to take pictures the next day so I will just tell about it.  We decided to have a big weekend and so Saturday was Cambria's baptism and the next day we blessed Beckham!  All our family that could come stayed the night and was able to come to both events! It was a busy weekend but great to spend time with family and share these special times in our kids lives!

Putting on the star

This year it was Audrey's turn to put the start on top of the tree! She looked forward to it for days and kept reminding Tim that it was her turn!

Cambria's 8th Birthday

Me and Audrey and Beck picked up Cambria from school and took her out to lunch at Wendy's!

Cambria was super excited for her 8th birthday! It was her first with friends over!

She had Addison Williams, Allyson Dayton, Olivia Bosen and Kathryn Solum and of course her sister Audrey!

                                             

She had an owl themed party, I made some small stuffed owls for the girls to take home and they got to decorate an owl cupcake, I also made an owl cake out of cupcakes! It was a fun birthday! My question is how did we get an eight year old?  My first little baby is getting too old too fast!

Tummy time and crazy Audrey

This kid has been strong since the day he was born!  Here is some tummy time on moms bed!

This isn't the first time I have found her in Beck's bed! She cracks me up!

Beck

What would a little boy be like without a great big sister like Audrey to dress him up in a princess crown!? She even talked about dressing him up even before he was born!

Got to thank the girls for all the pictures!  This kid really isn't going to have a lack of photo documentation of his life!!

I just love his smiles which I get often throughout the day!
