Going Bananas ~

One of my favorite things right now is watching Declan eat a banana!  From trying to hold it in his hands, his frustration when it slips out and the excitement he shows when eating it.

7 months old ~

Mr. D-man is now 7 months old. He is sitting up by himself, walking around in his exercauser and is such a chatter box!  I just noticed today that he has his first tooth starting to come through. Exciting and scary at the same time (when nursing is involved!).  He is now consistently taking morning and afternoon naps and continues to sleep 12-14 hours at night.  
(I am glad I enter in this blog because his baby book is still empty)

Christmas 2013 ~

Merry Christmas!
 We do what we can to get all 4 kids to smile at once!
 Happy that Odin can now take a picture of Bryce and I
The kids are posing with one of their favorite gifts from us.  Quinn was so excited to receive his crossbow (with darts), Odin loves his transformers, Corrigan has not stopped walking her babies around in her stroller and Mr. D got a new outfit.  The bottom corner picture is me making sure that my children know their mom is with them during Christmas ~ hee, hee!  (Why is it that moms are always the photographers??!!)


Bath Time ~

Declan (6 months) enjoyed taking his first bath sitting up in the chair.  I think his favorite part was watching the water fill the tub and putting his hands through it.  This was also the first time all 4 kids were able to take a bath together.  We have a full tub!

Deer Hunting 2013 ~

I can't believe that I haven't done this post yet...Ok, I can! Mostly because my days go by faster than I hope for them to.  Bryce had a great year of hunting.  His first weekend with his family up north resulted in him shooting 3 deer, with 3 shots and all at the same time!  The weekend with my family up north he did not shoot any himself, but between all of the hunters they shot 4 more deer.  We are thankful for a full freezer of meat to get us through the upcoming year.  The boys have enjoyed seeing the deer as they hang in our garage and I have been refining my skills by helping trim the deer meat.

Happy Birthday Corrigan ~

Happy 2nd Birthday to our beautiful daughter Corrigan who continues to add sass, style and much craziness to our family.  She loves to play hard with her brothers, read books, wear hats and most importantly continues to help Bryce and I grow as parents.   We count our blessings for her everyday.
Helping me bake her cake

Loving her ladybug cake decorated by her daddy
Her birthday breakfast; homemade granola bars
Her birthday dinner; Tony's pizza (this girl LOVES her Tony's pizza!)

A Good Sport ~

Declan is such a good sport when it comes to his brothers and sister having fun with him!
