Update...

So I have turned into the worst blogger. I officially hate the month of January and am so glad it's over. It drags so much and there is nothing to look forward to. We have been doing a whole lot of nothing around here!

The most exciting thing as of late is that Renee had her precious little baby girl Emma Renee on February 6. To say that I am in love with her would be a complete understatement.

She is so perfect and precious and I wish I could snuggle her every day. It makes me so excited to meet our little man in a few short months. Speaking of...if you have any good boy name suggestions please send them our way. We are struggling as always to agree on one. I like short and simple names that are not extremely popular. Good luck!

We have been enjoying Grandma Great's hot tub as well. The boys love to swim and think this is a great way to spend the winter months! 

I have been trying to come up with activities for the boys on Tuesday and Thursday because they don't have preschool and the days drag on and on. We have been going to story time at the library on Tuesdays and to the "jumping place" on Thursdays. The boys love both activities and it has really helped keep them and me happy! If anyone wants to join us they are welcome! We love friends!

Ryan worked his last day at his job today and will be starting a new one on Monday. It is a great opportunity and besides the commute, we are thrilled about it! 

I am still pregnant and feeling huge. I am trying to enjoy every minute of it since it is most likely (or as Ryan says most definitely) my last. 

We are excited to have Geoff's family move to Utah for a few months before their new adventure in California and are so glad we have something to look forward to! 

Toothless Grin

This morning I was having a conversation with Brady and noticed something different. I looked closer and realized his tooth was gone.

 I asked him if he had lost a tooth and he told me, "yes, a long time ago." I brushed his teeth last night and they were all there so I know that isn't true. We looked everywhere for it and can't find it. I guess he swallowed it. Oops. He is very concerned that the Tooth Fairy won't come if he doesn't have it but I assured him it would be fine! I checked Easton's mouth and lo and behold he has a loose tooth too. I can't believe they are old enough to be loosing teeth. It kind of makes me sad! 

After Christmas Fun

We decided to take the kids bowling after Christmas! They all loved it and I found it highly entertaining. 

My dad really tried to teach Brady and Easton the technical way to bowl but they would just not have it. I thought it was hilarious to watch the whole thing play out! 

Silly boys

Love these 2 (even though Luke looks drunk)

We loved having Chad home for a couple of weeks! He is such a great uncle and the kids adore him. 

Ryan's family came to town and stayed with us for a few days but since I am dependent on my mom to take all my pictures, I don't have any proof of that cousin time. It was a great Christmas break. We are getting back into the swing of normal life. My belly is growing larger by the minute and we are getting anxious to meet our next (and final) little boy! Now if we can only decide on a name and figure out if he too will have red hair. My guess would be yes! I just wish we didn't have to wait til May to find out! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!

Christmas Morning

My family convinced Ryan and I to spend the night at my parent's house because it would be "no fun with just Chad and Kelsey!" At 9:00 on Christmas Eve we headed to our house and loaded up the presents. It ended up to be a blessing in the end because we had not wrapped 1 thing and had stuff to put together as well. With the help of everyone we got it done and got to bed about 12:30.

My kids slept til 7:30 and we thought that was great! It was an exciting morning and the boys loved it! Sadly I was counting on my mom to take all the pictures and she failed me. We only  have a few. It was a very fun year and we were all spoiled!

We headed home and got ready for church and enjoyed going to my parent's ward with them. We spent the evening with my family doing puzzles and playing games. I love Christmas and can't wait til next year when we will have our new little boy to share in the excitement!!

Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve! This year we spent it with my family at my parent's house. We had yummy food, sang songs, and my Grandpa read the Christmas story. 

We got our Christmas Eve PJ's and yes this is the best picture of all 3 of my kiddos. Luke would not cooperate. He is kind of a pill!

The twinners

The 4 boys

Grandma and Grandpa gave the triplets scooters this year!

Before opening presents from Grandma and Grandpa

It was a great evening. We definitely missed Ryan's family this year, especially his dad, but are so thankful for the memories we have of him and the knowledge we have that families are forever. 

Santa Clause is coming...

Last night we headed over to my Uncle JR's house to see Santa before he headed to the North Pole! This is a very special Santa suit that used to be my Grandpa Joe's! I may be bias, but I think this is the best Santa ever!!!

Brady wants a LeapPad and a RED race car. The race car is a last minute addition to the list and Santa is not sure he is going to be able to grant that one. Oops.

Easton wants a LeapPad and a BLUE race car. Imagine that! Another late addition Santa is working on. I asked them why they keep telling Santa different things and they told me it was because they "keep changing their minds". Perfect!

Luke LOVES Santa from far away but has no interest in sitting on his lap! He did let Santa come close to give him a candy cane, thumbs up, and the rock! It was adorable! All Luke wants for Christmas is cars. Easy enough :)

Santa took a minute to wish the most fabulous woman in the world a Happy birthday!

We have loved spending time with our family this week and are especially excited to have Chad home for the Holidays! We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas break and get to spend time with your families too!

BYU Basketball

On Saturday Ryan and Kelsey took Brady and Easton to the BYU vs Baylor basketball game. They were so excited to be able to cheer on the wear their Jimmer shirts, cheer on the Cougars, and hang out with their Daddy! Luckily Kels took her camera and snapped a few pictures!

Hopefully we will be able to make it to a few more games this year! Go Cougars!
