Hanging out with Mom

Anna would like to share with you one of her favorite accessories. Her sling! She might look totally squished because she is, but she loves sitting in it.









I would like to personally thank Anna for reminding what it was like to be pregnant and making me even more grateful that she is here.

Mmm...feet

"So the other day i discovered my feet and my life has been pretty great since." Anna at 5mo








And because I can't help it here are some Daddy and Anna pics

Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!



Anna with her first present-a beautiful silver cradle that says "My First Christmas."







Aunt Valerie is awesome! She offered to paint the kids faces on Christmas Day. The kids loved it so much they asked for it every day and Aunt Valerie was so nice enough to do it every day.



AAARRR Mateys!!!!!!



Keedon requester to be an old man with glasses, Macey has the cutesy Christmas deco and Connor as Harry Potter.



Cambel literally bounced on this for over an hour. Favorite Christmas present for him and his parents.



Aunt Jess and Anna



Morning Sunshine



Uncle Ryan and Anna

We were still in Denver for the New Years Party


Macey got all dressed up, earrings, makeup and of course a poodle skirt. She was pumped to stay up until midnight.


Me and JoJo



Happy New Year! Anna made some resolutions. She decided to eat more solids, learn to roll over, and grown into her 3-6month clothes. She's dedicated, what can I say?

Christmas Eve

We drove into Denver on Christmas Eve and got to spend a whole week with the Jones Fam. Anna did really great in the car. Anna met the rest of the Jones's for the first time and loved being the youngest baby in the bunch. 10 little kids running all over the house made for an awesome Christmas.


Sorry for the fuzz. Here is one of a few of the Christmas trees my mother decorated.


This trip Anna had an especially good time with her sweet Aunt Jessica.



Anna and Daddy


Berklie "Umm..excuse, but I would like to get down now."


All the boys sitting around talking about their favorite episode of The Bachelor. J/k


After the kids sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, Grams hooked them up with some cupcakes.


JoJo and previously mentioned cupcake


Macey loved playing with little Anna and was getting her to smile all the time.



We had a short adult Christmas Eve program and afterwards we set up a live nativity with all of the kids. Cambel was enjoying the songs while sitting with Grams.



Tanner was a wise man (or should I say wise guy? :)


Quint


The brood


Anna was baby Jesus this year


Grams and Poppy always think of the funnest things for the grandkids. here we have most of the kids in the wagon, santa hats on, jingle bells going nonstop, singing at the top of their lungs and the biggest smiles of course.


Cambel having some one-on-one time with his Uncle Chase

All weekend long whenever I walked into the room three-year-old Cambel would announce that whatever he was doing it did not involve me. For example, I am walking down the stairs, just woke up and Cambel announces, "We're eating breakfast without you." What do you say to that? When I was a little more awake I thought of some good responses, like "Oh yeah, I can tie my own shoes, so there." I am still working on some better comebacks :)
