But of course the gift above all others is the birth of our Savior Jesus.

christmas 2011

What a wonderful christmas. God has blessed us with such amazing family and friends, and entrusted us with 3 of his precious children. Merry christmas everyone.

Bell Ringing

Nothing like bell ringing for the salvation army to get you in the christmas spirit, we sang tons of christmas carols, it was so much fun, even nadia lasted almost an hour (thanks to the wonderful weather)!

Nadia's 8 months Old!

Oh, how I love my little girl. She is such a sweetie. Loves to play peekaboo, and so big. She loves table food, can't get enough. Loves attention from her brothers and daddy. She's even getting more aggressive at reaching for things, maybe I will get her to crawl by christmas?

Tree decorating

We all had fun decorating the tree, even nadia was into it, and every last ornament fit (except for a couple nadia thought were her new toys)!

field trip

Troy chaperoned Kobe's field trip to "the works" today.

Tree Cutting

Our annual tradition of tree cutting is always fun.

Little Piggy

My little Miss Piggy!

More little piggies.

Nadia 7 1/2 mo

cute ladybug shoes!

Wow, I guess I missed the 7 month mark. Where has november gone?? Nadia is really giggling at her brothers now, she is eating baby food quite well, but prefers actual table food. She plays peek-a-boo on her own, and still wants to be with mommy at all times (touching me with at least one of her hands). I just found one of her top tooth poking through (not the one that's been swollen), I guess that explains some of the fussiness this weekend. I'm sure the other will be in any day. Poor little nods.

legos

Kobe isn't the only lego gu-ru in the house. Brennan built Elko Speedway almost to scale in their bedroom! Monster trucks and all!

Who went to DC?

So cute, I just can't stand it! (hand me down clothes are the best, thanks for the cute top jenni)

Puppy Parade

This year for Brennan's preschool halloween parade they did a puppy parade - love it! My favorite part was the tail.

Can't forget about Nods. :)

Fall Weekend

Don't you just LOVE fall weekends with nothing on the calendar? I do.

Jog-A-Thon

Kobe had his Jog-A-Thon fundraiser for the school on Oct 8. He ran the entire 10 minutes, like last year, but he completed 30 laps (up from 26 last year). He raised over $200 for his school. Go Kobe. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you. ,
