Christmas

We've been having a fun Christmas break so far, kicked off one day early with school being canceled because of snow! We hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Christmas Eve and the kids got new pj's from mom and dad...



Lizzie was really fun on Christmas; she did actually play with her toys and not just the paper! I can't believe she is almost 10 months old!


Cody, being the great dad he is, took the kids out during the first snow storm and made a snowman. Then it rained and melted "Frosty", which the kids so originally named him, so then they all made a second trip out after that huge snowstorm we got and rebuilt him.

Kiddies

Here are some current photos of the kids: nothing specific, just so I have somewhat of an update on my blog.

Halloween this year:


Our little munchkins; I can't believe how long it takes to get them to all look AND smile at the camera at the same time. This one turned out but even J.C. really isn't smiling that much.

The sweet, blue-eyed girls we have; Anna loves her little sister and Lizzie gets so excited when Anna comes home from school.

Jake, Jake, Jake...what more can I say about this kid? He makes us laugh every day and most of the time he isn't even trying too. Everywhere we go he is told how cute he is and I have to agree!

Little Lizzie is starting to crawl now; she is into everything and she is such a good little girl. Her sweet little spirit brings our home so much happiness.


Why do kids have to grow up so fast?

Randomness

Okay, since I haven't even been on my blog in a couple of months I thought I'd better put some updated pictures on it. They aren't in any specific order or anything, just random ones I picked during the last couple of months. We've been pretty busy since Cody graduated and came home from the Academy. Annalyn loves first grade and is absolutely thriving in her class. Jacob is a three year old boy, need I say more? But he is a great helper and he makes us laugh. Lizzie is growing so fast and eating solids now; she is at such a fun stage where she is smiling at everything. She is a very quite baby; it takes a lot for her to laugh, but she is happy.

We went fishing over Labor Day, which means Cody spent most of the time getting the kids' poles ready instead of his own.






Anna played soccer this fall and what a good little player she was. She really liked it once she learned the game and a lot of her teammates are also in her school class.


Cody is selling firewood again this fall, so him and Jake have been busy chopping and splitting wood. Jake has his own wood pieces and "chopper" and he works just as hard as Cody does to "split" them. It's really cute to watch him work alongside his dad.


Lizzie is such a sweetie. Her little face just melts my heart everytime I look at her.

Jake is such a cute boy; his favorite thing to say is "I love you Lizzie; you're so pretty!"


Cody celebrated his 30th birthday on Oct. 1st!!! I swear we were just in high school and only 18. Where do the years go? And, really, is it any surprise that he put his sunglasses on right when I took the picture?

Graduation and First Day of School

Cody graduated from the National Park Service Law Enforcement Academy on July 23 and he also received one of the top awards, the Chief Ranger Award. We are so proud of how hard he worked and what a great job he did at school!





Annalyn started first grade this year. I can't believe she is growing up so fast! She did great her first week of school and we're excited to see how she does in first grade.

Lizzie is now 4 months, well almost 5, but she was 4 months when I took these pictures. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is such a sweetheart!


Her big brother and sister love her so much. They are constantly asking to hold her and play with her. I am so lucky to have such wonderful kids!


Well, we made it...Cody is home this Friday from school! We are so excited to have our Daddy back! We missed him, but he did a great job at school and we are so proud of him! (pictures will be posted soon)
