The new addition to our family!!!

It's a BOY!

We named him Gunner, I think. Not for any particular reason. I threw out several names, but this one seems to have stuck. He is adorable. Mix between lab & Border Collie. So he should be a very smart dog. My favorite thing about this little guy is watching him chase the kids and vise versa. I will post more pictures with the kids. These are just what I had.

Pirates

Took theses pictures at the movie theatre when we took the kids to see Tangled. Cute show. Bryson really likes pirates so we decided we needed these pictures. Yes... the Skull wanted to eat our hands.

Boys will be Boys!

We were putting Brandon's DJ skills to use for family home evening. We decided to dance around & have some fun. Only problem...Boys will be boys. Watch the Hotwheel cars go flying as Hadley throws it at Bryson. Does it end there? Of corse not! Bryson just has to throw it back at Hadley. That ended the fun.

Taylee turns one!

Taylee is now one. She just had her birthday and loved all the attention. She got new clothes and books and her first doll. She loves playing cars and action figures with the boys, but I was very happy to see her love on her new doll. Guess she has hope of being a frilly little girl still:) Can you tell she loooved the cake?!

Taylee in the swing

Taylee had so much fun at the park when we went there for lunch one day. I am not sure if she loved swinging or playing with Bryson more. The video pretty much says it all! What a cute Girl!

APPLES, APPLES, and more APPLES

Yesterday, Brandon and I picked half the apples from one of four apple trees. It was an interesting experience which included: three children, two tarps, and one husband acting like a monkey in the tree. He was actually shaking the limbs to drop the apples on the tarps due to lack of proper equipment. All that work resulted in more work for me today. 24 jars of applesauce, 3 batches of dried apples and I am only half way through the apples. Apples anyone?!

Hadley Turns 2

Hadley had so much fun on his birthday! Of corse at two, he isn't too hard to please. We kept things simple this time and just ha a few family members come over for cake and ice cream. He likes robots so we decided to make him a Hadley size robot. I think it turned out pretty cute for an amateur.
