'tis the season...
i love this time of year but am finding with three that events and obligations of time need to be tattoo'd to my forehead or something. i am hoping to make it through the season without forgetting anything else (had a biggy today AT school...cried too much and got made fun of by my husband...i know where my son gets the perfectionistic, overly emotional drama). here are a few pics to share. LOVE the first one...tater is trying to make wyatt quit looking at santa. he snuggled in for a great picture, then turned and looked up and his bottom lip shot out like i'd never seen before. his brothers HATE to see/hear him cry. so sweet!! the next one is my beautiful sister trying to dress wyatt after changing his diaper (note: both legs in one hole) we laughed way too hard and so did he! next we have the very lovely, very talented haley who is days away from 13...the boys were mesmerized by the band concert. thanks haley for sharing your talent with these little admirers. this is my sister's step-daughter, but there is no step to it. my sister loves these kids more than her own life. i am so proud of her and her dedication! as it has been my whole life...what an example she is to me!!

a year FULL of blessings...

while working on a little project for a christmas gift, i have been looking through all of my stored pics. i am amazed at what can happen in a year! i have a friend who just sent out her family's digital christmas card spanning the year's activities. she even started with last christmas, the ice storm, etc. what a concept!! i still have a choice few relatives who would not benefit from such a thing, as they are not technologically savvy, but for the most part it is a good plan. pending i get a handle on my slight addiction to scrapbook paper and the clipboard business, i will maybe try that next year :)

here are a few treasures i was reminded of from the past year.

what we have here is kindy graduation, scoring our first homerun, and last but certainly not least a tiny new brother to love!!!! i am so proud when i see these pictures. a mom can say that right? proud of my little guys!! i also can't get over how fast it all happens. wyatt is pulling up everywhere and tate's two front teeth are back :) wow! it reminds me again that no matter how much laundry i have to do or papers to grade...i will play with legos, trucks, action figures... have talent shows, make multiple new lists for santa and read books until they fall asleep because it won't be long before they may not want to do that. thank you sweet Saviour for my blessings!

on the move...

little wyatt is a mover and a shaker. the only time he is still is if he is buckled into something :)

he LOVES tate and lane's lollie hallmark trees. they used to put these in their rooms every year, but they know their little bro. loves them. it was a close call for the camera, but we survived. he was so excited about these red christmas jammies from granny. 12-18mo fits like a glove ;)

thank you Jesus for my sweet boys...
