I'M BATMAN

Our little neighbor boy came over the other day

wearing his Batman costume.

He asked if we could put it on Kade.

"Sure" I said "If he will let us."

Well he did, and

HE LOVED IT.

Check out that Batman face.

I think he has it down,

and he doesn't even know who or what Batman is!

This is his hand sign for,

PICK ME UP PLEASE.

Once again, I think he is the cutest!

Lucky

So you know when you look at your child and think

"How did I get so lucky?"

It happens all the time when I look at this sweet face.

Kade was helping his dad this morning,

and Kevin snapped a few pictures to show mom.

Happy Birthday Kade

So I know this is a little late,

but our little guy turned the big 01!

He is growing up to fast.

I love him more and more every day.

We love you Kade!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

So I know these are kindof dark (iphone) but oh, so cute!

And who doesn't love a case of bed head!

Bath Time Is So Much Fun!

Kade loves bath time. And we just adore him!

Christmas Card

So what happens when the wife/mom gets sick,

not all the cards get sent out.

So we hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

The Infamous Nut Party

What is a "Nut Party" you ask.

Well it is our little family tradition.

We have been doing it my whole life

and it started when my two oldest brothers were just little.

So what was a tradition of four, now is a tradition for thirty.

We did switch things up this year,

we always do a family draw, but this year

it was for kids 18 and under.

So after we have a feast for a dinner,

we take some family pictures,

then the kids open the gifts

rotating from youngest to oldest.

It was Kade's first

Christmas present,

and he did pretty good

not just being interested in the paper and the box!

Then, here comes the nut part, we have pudding.

And traditionally there is one nut hidden in the pudding

and whoever gets the nut gets the nut gift!

Well mom decided to have a loser tray

and a winner tray.

To slowly dwindle down the losers and make us all winners.

We put two nuts in the losers pudding

and one in the winners pudding.

So we had three NUTS!

If you know us at all I know what you are thinking,

"Your whole family is a bunch of nuts."

And to this I will totally agree.

But we are a bunch of nuts that love each other,

well most of the time.

Me and my brothers.

Of course we had to have a funny face picture,

If you haven't seen enough,

NOW ONTO THE PARTY!

Kade's first Christmas present EVER!

So cute.Karlee gave to Kade.

And another tradition is to hug whoever you gave to.

This is my favorite part.

Karlee got a puppy purse from Lafe.

And to this she said,

"Ohh...It's what I've always wanted."

So cute.
We love hugs!

Sweet Brinley.
Nic attacking his gift.
McKay loving his decals for his 4-wheeler.

So Kade got Austins name.

And I happened to be with Austin one day

when the SNUGGIE commercial came on.

"I really want a Snuggie." He said.

And I thought,

"Sweet!"

Can't get easier then that.

So as you can see, we had a great time!

The best part of Christmas is family.
