New Years and Blessing

So recently my "happy song" has been Toby Keith's Red Solo Cup. 

And because my family was here for Ashley's blessing, Greg had this awesome idea for New Year's Eve;

We decorated our Red Solo cups!

Gary is now a Sunbeam so he got his very own Book of Mormon to take to primary. He loves to sit, or lay, and read it!

It was the dress that I was blessed in.

We had a fun New Year's and we had so much fun having everyone over for Ashley's blessing.

We decided to do Christmas a little early this year. Why? Lots of reasons, but mainly because we wanted to and we can! It's one of the perks of being the Mom and Dad, you get to make decisions like that!

So here's a little taste of what Christmas was like at our house

Isaac was so much fun to watch open presents! He was so excited over everything!!!

He loved his new bike. And of course because Isaac got a new bike, Gary also got a "new to you" bike (Isaac's old bike)

and also for your viewing pleasure, Baby hiccups!

Ashley had the hiccups this morning and it was too much! I couldn't take how cute her little hiccup squeaks were.

Merry Christmas all!

Kay vs. Beer

As Greg said, since we don't drink he had to go with Kay.  I'm sure glad he did!

Isaac, Gary and Ashley's birthstones with engraving "Eternal Family"

Merry Christmas!!

Siblings?!

One of the main question people seem to be asking is; "Who does she look more like? Isaac or Gary?!"

Since I think they all look a lot like each other, but somehow still have their own unique look, I'll let you decide.

1 week

It has been a fun week!!

It's been full of a whole lot of this;

We've all been enjoying have a little baby (yes, even at 2am when she's wide awake) and the happiness that comes with babies.

Has it brought calm to the house?! Not quite. The boys are still as rambunctious as ever and maybe a little more so from the excitement of having their baby sister here. They are so in love with her and I can't help but smile every time they try to "help" out. Their intentions are good and I guess that's what matters right?!

My mom was able to stop by for a quick visit on her way down to my Grandma's (HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMY).  It was nice to have her here, even if it was only for a few hours.

All in all it's been a fun and mildly crazy week.

Happy 1 week Birthday Ashley!
