Cousins...

239

I LOVE to see my children growing up with cousins! I didn't have any growing up and was always envious of my friends who had cousins!  I especially love to see Abbie and Kenzie growing up together!  They are a little less than 3 months apart and have never gone longer than two weeks without seeing one another!  I love to think of them going through life together...like sisters!

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas this year despite our little Sophie not being completely better from a lingering sickness (which we later learned was pneomonia).  Sophie always gets sooo sweet when she is excited and we did not see much of that this year which made this momma sad but we we were still able to enjoy and celebrate the birth of our Savior so we can't complain.  

On Christmas Eve before church...
Oh how I love Abbie's smile!

I do realize the day is going to come very soon when the girls are going to protest having momma put such a big flower in their hair..but until that day comes bring on the big flowers and bows!!!

SICK times SIX!

Sooo very far behind in the blog world (and the real world) due to a sickness that invaded our home the week before Christmas until last week...In the matter of 14 days we had 11 doctor appointments between the six of us...ughhh!  I hope to post about Christmas in the next few days...Here is what our days consisted of for 2 weeks!!!

Happy 6th Months Levi!

202

I can't even tell you how much I love this little guy! I seriously just want to eat him up with a spoon! Not too many new things with my little sweetie..he's doing better on solids now which is good! He still loves to nurse and will get up once a night to say hello to mommy. Still not sitting up but it's coming...here are pics of my little handsome cutie pie!

Oh the pain...

I can't even begin to tell you how much I dislike trying to get a decent picture for our Christmas card...Seriously it stresses me out beyond belief...and if you think I am exaggerating just check out what I am dealing with!!!!

048

Oh my...Ella is dazed beyond confused, Sophie has the "I just took a bite of a lemon" face while flashing some sort of diamond gang sign...Levi decides to rip off my "peace" star from the tree and then continues to eat it...and then there is Abbie...oh I can't even begin to describe my dear Abbie's face...need I say more?
