Carter's Art Work and Writing Skills

Oh, Time Sure Does Fly!!!

It seems like last week I was going to update the blog with Christmas pictures, and now the month of January is almost over. The kids are getting so big and so smart.

Carter is my 5 year old going on 20.

Cooper makes me giggle every day with a new word or phrase that he learns, and gets so excited that I understand what he is trying to tell me. How do you say no to a kid when they learn how to say more doughnut please? And when I give in he says, "Thank you mom, your welcome".

Hallie is weighing in at 15 lbs 25 inches long, and still has blue eyes. She is definitely our girl, and stubborn too. When I took her to get her shots last time, she cried just as hard when they gave her the oral shot as the poke in the leg. I was telling the nurses that my boys loved the drink and drank it up. The nurses replied she is the first baby that they had seen cry over the oral shot. Hallie is mobile. I am not ready but she is. I leave the room for a second and see has rolled to the other side of the room. She screams when she gets to the couch or chair because she doesn't know how to roll the other way.

After dinner the boys started playing under the table, they even got Hallie in on it. I thought it was so cute how they were all playing together. I just had to snap a picture. Oh and like the boy's new hair cut?

Snow! In Arizona?
The flakes were the biggest that I have ever seen. It was crazy. They shut everything down for 2 days because of 3 inches, not what we are used to.

Hair Cut "Buzz" Time!

The boys always have random sleeping pictures, I guess Hallie is just following in their footsteps.

Let's just say that you don't want to see your baby like this, and not moving, when you enter the room, but once I saw she was just sleeping I thought it was cute.

Grandma gave us a cupcake pan for Christmas. The boys always love the commercial, and ask if we can make a big cupcake, well now we can.

Update

Carter and Cooper love taking pictures. I often find pictures on the camera that they have taken and I didn't even know they had the camera. Funny Boys.

Cooper's lips up close!

Oh no, quite the poser!

Close up of Hallie compliments of Carter!

These pictures are the best, Carter sets up his stuffed animals and starts snapping pictures.

I had dirty clothes in a pile to put them in the washer and before I got to the pile Carter and Cooper were trying on clothes. Carter made sure that Cooper tried on my clothes and he had to have on Josh's.

If you look close you will see that the pants are on backwards, if he had his way his pants would be on backwards all of the time.

As of late, Hallie loves to smile and coo. I will often be in a different room and she will be playing on the floor in front of the Christmas tree, I will come back to check on her and she will just be talking away at the lights. She has become quite the happy baby. I know by putting this on here it will break the record, but Hallie has slept from 9 or 10 at night to 7 or 8 in the morning for 4 nights in a row. I am loving the extra sleep, but am scared for the day when she decides to start waking up in the middle of the night.

Halloween

After much debate of what the boys should be for Halloween, they wore costumes from previous years.

Hallie getting bigger

When she wore this outfit it was falling off because it was so big on her. She is getting big fast.

There is nothing sweeter in this world than a sleeping baby. Don't you think??

Carter and Cooper

A few of Cooper's favorite things to do as of late. I find these kind of pictures on the camera all of the time.

This was about a month ago also. Carter did not get to go to pre-school because he was sick. He was feeling bad and so Grandma Brady helped the boys make finger print sugar cookies to decorate.

Hallie's Baby Blessing

This happened a month ago I am just slow getting pictures posted. I am so grateful to Great-Grandma Huntsman, she made the dress that Hallie is wearing. A big thank you to her. I wore the shoes Hallie is wearing when I was blessed. Grandma Brady and Grandma and Grandpa Huntsman made the long trip to be here on Hallie's special day.

Happy Birthday Carter

Carter one year older.

I told Carter to show me some teeth. This is the reason he is touching his teeth.

Cooper and Hallie slept through Carter's birthday party. Hallie likes to sleep all afternoon and into the evening. Cooper had a fight with a cactus in our backyard and the cactus one. The poor kid had a piece of cacti stuck to the side of his head. After we got all of the stickers out and gave him a bath and some medicine he fell asleep shortly after.

The tradition of making a birthday cake. Carter is old enough to decide what kind of cake he would like, this was his choice. I had fun making it for him.
