Snowman

It snowed! Dave & Noah worked so hard & built this adorable snowman inspired from Here.

My best Valentines yet

 

Dave had the day off work.  He started my day off right with breakfast in bed!

 

Then it got even better because he bought the kids GINORMOUS donuts & they were totally excited!

That evening we had dinner & cookie decorating with our favorite friends!

 

Everybody took the cookie decorating very seriously.  We had our instagram friends judge...  Brittany was the winner :)

And I can't forget my beautiful flowers!  Aren't they gorgeous!??  Brittany made them, she's amazing.

A little love crafting

Britt & I came up with this...

 

Noah

Isn't my mama so pretty!??  (She was serving snow cones at my sisters cheer competition, that's why she's wearing gloves!)

Noah cracks me up!  For some reason lately he feels like he needs to pull a crazy face when I take his pictures, like the one above.  He had pajama day at school on Friday & his teacher asked him a few questions about night & day, here's how he responded:

What do you do just before you go to sleep?

 "I go into Mommy's bed cause some scares me in my bed!"

What is the first thing you do when you wake up?

 "I talk to Mom in her bed"

Favorite breakfast?

" Square thing cereals"

What time do you go to bed?

"When it's dark"

Who sleeps the most in your Family?

"We all sleep in Mommy's big bed! Daddy- Ruby-Mommy and me!"

I absolutely love my little dude.  He's so cute & fun to be around.

 I am so grateful for my children!  They are my world & they each bring me so much happiness!  I feel so lucky they're mine!

We went bowling

Happy First Birthday Ruby!!!

 -Rubys party invite-

I can't believe my baby is ONE!  The year flew by.  

Ruby is so much fun!  She is always happy, she loves eating & playing with her big brother.  

We had a pajama party for her on Saturday night.  We ate breakfast for dinner & sat by the fire.  It was a cozy night, especially because the snow was fluttering outside.  Ruby got so many cute gifts & really enjoyed her cake!  Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!

I just love this time of year!  We're definitely Summer people, but we've managed to have some fun moments so far in this cold weather.  We've played in the snow, built big fires in our fireplace, enjoyed delicious hot chocolate, decorated Christmas trees, made yummy Holiday treats including, homemade marshmallows and pumpkin pie. 
Carli and I decided to get crazy and went black Friday shopping... we had a blast.  It was insanely busy but we laughed lots and got some serious bargains!

 

Carli and I decorated 2 Christmas trees at my Grandparents house, we think they turned out awesome!

  This little girl just melts my heart.  She is so happy and fun to be around.

I still can't believe it's November! I'm in denial that it's cold outside.

Last week Noah had an appointment at Primary Childrens hospital to check his leg.

My parents went to Hawaii (Jealous) for a week so DJ is spending some time at our house... we're having fun!

This is him waiting for the bus :)  It's FREEZING outside!
