taking photos with a 2 year old is a form of torture....

 

Jeff's cousin Kari attempted the impossible....to take our family pictures. I am pretty sure the next time I am crazy enough to attempt this again I am going to rent a family. Because it was a serious disaster trying to get all the kids to smile...look at the camera and not kill each other. Luckily we got a few pictures. I still need to edit them but lets be honest that may never happen. 

 

 

Bad Luck.....

I was really hoping after this happened....the day after christmas with my brand new baby. I was thinking maybe just maybe our bad luck was ending.

Nope it didn't last.....Last wednesday I slipped going down the stairs with Nash. Luckily I bent my body forward over Nash and he was completely fine. But I took a good beating I have a small hair line fracture in my arm. No cast but I am in a sling for the next few weeks. And I hurt my back and bruised a kidney.  Luckily I am feeling so much better....except maybe my pride. 

I am so glad that I have so much family and friends looking out for us. Our ward has been so supportive bringing in meals for weeks and offering anything. My family is amazing and I am so blessed having them around me to offer help. I really hope I can get back to normal quickly and back to our life and our new normal....whatever that is!!

New Years....

2012 was one of those years that honestly I couldn't be happier to say good bye to. While we did have some amazing things a new house, and a new baby most of the things in between were a bit much. So counting down to 2013 was exciting to me. I couldn't wait to put this year and the bad string of luck goodbye......

I swear it may not look like it fits....

Aunt Leslie was such a HUGE help with the boys while we were going back and forth to the hospital. I don't know what I would have done with out her!!

 During the day we decided to take the boys out to go do something....we tried out the new bowling alley in Temecula....the boys loved it.  I loved it because it was all so nice and new and CLEAN. Bowling alleys completely freak me out!!

 That night we headed to my Grandparents for lots of yummy food and games. Dru and Heather introduced to a fun new game bubble talk it was a hit with all....except the men who were busy playing poker...Jeff actually won. Maybe we should test out our luck in Vegas this year!!

 Carter and Noah kept coming up with these funny hair styles.....goof balls!

 Sawyer and Rhys were the only two who didn't make it until midnight.

 I made Casey take a picture with me....I found out I was pregnant with Nash two days before I threw her a baby shower for Jack....I definitely did NOT see that one coming!!!

 2013 has got to be better to us.....pretty please!!

 Party animal....

 New years day was spent like this.......SO SO tired!!

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve was spent over at my Grandparents with all the Morgan's and yes I realize how crazy it was that I took my NICU released baby but I slapped on the Ergo and no one bugged him at all. Also in large part to my mom giving everyone a pep talk before we arrived about keeping a perimeter. I love my family could't imagine a holiday with out them.  

 Cari and Heather had a great idea to make every family do a game or skit it was very entertaining only next year we might need to start a little earlier!!

 The reindeer panty hose game was a HUGE hit.  Once home it was time to set out cookies and milk and open Christmas PJ's.....Santa came and we had some very spoiled boys!!

 First night all tucked in his bed....

Red mustaches and funny glasses were a hit in the stockings this year!!

 I got my very own doll to play with.....yes that is a real doll box!

 My perfect baby Jesus!!

I can't believe we made it to Christmas. I was a little sad because I didn't get to do all my traditions that I love about this time of year. But all and all it was a wonderful Christmas!!
