Jake's Blessing

Jake was blessed on Sunday. Doesn't he look cute in his little white tux? This is the blessing outfit that both Brandon and Isaac wore on their special blessing days. Jake was a little bit older and bigger when we blessed him and so this outfit barely fit him. It was such a fun day to have our family with us to celebrate this special day. Jake was such a good boy all day long, sleeping through almost everything. He was asleep during the sacrament meeting and woke up just before the blessing. I was afraid he might be fussy during the blessing but he didn't make a peep. Kevin said he was wide awake staring at all the guys around him. Thanks for all the friends and family that supported us on this day (even those far away). We love you and we love our little Jakers!

Raingutter Regatta

Brandon had his first big cub scout race. It was the raingutter regatta (I don't know if that is spelled right). His boat was named "Big Air"....since you have to blow the boat to the finish line we thought that was a great name. He did really good and made it to semi-finals (I think....that is what Brandon said). Here are some of the great pics for the night.

Braces!!!

Brandon got braces (on the top) last Tuesday. He was way nervous (so was mom) but he did great. He got blue and green elastics and was very excited when it was all over.

Brandon hates this picture but I had to post it for memories!

Jakey Smiles

Jake is smiling all the time now. We love his cute cubby cheeks and how he likes to stick out his tongue. I know the pictures are blurry (I am still learning my camera-increase my shutter speed-right Jenn!) but they are still cute.

Girl playdate

Yesterday maycee had a playdate with her cute friend Elle. The were so cute and did girly stuff like play barbies and brush hair. This is a new thing for me (having 3 boys) but I loved every minute of it. Maybe next time we will have a tea party!

Kids sleelping

Kevin and I were just talking about how cute our kids are when they are sleeping and so I took pictures of them all and thought is would be fun to post this.

Yes, Maycee is sleeping with a gigantic snowman. She always chooses one or more animals/dolls to sleep with and tonight she chose this snowman decoration. She has become quite attatched to him and even told me that he was sick and so she needed to take care of him.

Sledding

We took the kiddos sledding on Saturday(except Jake). Everyone had a great time. I was actually suprised at how much Maycee liked it and the boys only left with a promise that we would do it again next time it snowed. Kevin and I even joined in the fun. After walking back up the hill tons of time the kids were exhausted and needless to say slept great that night.
