Photo shoot gone bad

I just wanted to take ya'll into our little family photo shoot.  I desperately want a cute picture of all 3 kids.  It. is. impossible.  I took more than 40 pictures tonight and not one is very cute!  At least they are all in the picture together so we have documentation :) 




















Ok!  You win.  We Give Up!!!!!!

Surviving!

Well...we are still here and surviving!  This time of the year is always a SUPER busy time for Will, so it's all about survival around here these days!  Thankfully, today was beautiful and we were able to get some good outside time in and hunting season is over this weekend :)



Will's Mee Mee gave the boys this animal Encyclopedia for their bday and it's their favorite!  They now know almost every single animal in the book!  Bald Eagle, Hummingbird, Porcupine, Seal...


Man, I wish I could sleep like that!!!

Mommy and her boys!


Mommy and her baby girl!



Addie's latest trick...rolling on her side.  She hasn't rolled completely yet, but she's close!

 Daddy and Addie Girl





Hairbrush??



I told Hays I was going to run up to get Hunter and he needed to talk to Addie.  So he did :)

We often have some hair issues with Hunter.  It grows really funny and only looks good for a small window in between a haircut and too shaggy.  This is the "right after a haircut look" :/
Good thing he so stinkin' cute anyway!!

ANYTHING goes when I'm nursing Addie...


Whitney brought over a Bumbo and Addie has been loving it!

January so far!

Pretty baby girl!





January 4th (the day before the 2nd birthday) is a day I will NEVER forget!!  I was getting ready downstairs when I heard footsteps above me.  I had the monitor right beside me, but I didn't hear anything abnormal.  I ran out of my room and I spotted 2 little boys coming down the stairs!  They had escaped from their cribs, opened their door, and were heading down the stairs!  





Just checkin' a little email.







The boys love going with me to wake up Addie.  She's still sleeping in our room right now, because I'm too lazy to walk across the house to feed her in the middle of the night :)
Oh and yes I did say wake her up.  I have to wake her up from most naps.  This girl loves her sleep!!


I took this picture and sent it to my parents and a friend with a text that said "I've fed, bathed, and played with 3 kids all by myself!  Everyone is still in a good mood including me!"  This may not seem like much of an accomplishment to you, but it was!  Now that Briss (my nanny) is moving, I'm trying to wean myself off of having help all the time.  It's been a struggle because the boys are going through a "I don't want to mind you", "I want to do whatever I want", "I want to whine about EVERYTHING" kind of phase (let's hope it's a phase!!).  They both have strong personalities and it can be exhausting trying to teach them obedience, especially when Will's gone!  

Oh, and did you remember I have a 3 month old that I feed every 3 hours and take care of too??  She's so sweet that I sometimes forget about her too :)  Addie Girl, I believe you already deserve a crown in heaven for what we put you through!
