little helpers & dearest elder brew..

hey ber!

how are you? we are all doing good!

just been enjoying the snow! on sunday we had a power outage for the majority of the day. so no church! it was a weird day. still a good one, just a change from the normal sunday's. on monday it pretty much snowed all day. the kids loved it. they came in soaking wet and rosy cheeked.. except for merrik. he did not like it. the wind was chilly and blowing flakes into his face.. so that could have been part of it.

did you see that picture of colter!? he is getting so big already. he's starting to scoot and wiggle to get what he wants! crazy little guy! so cute..

how's the new comp treating ya? you being nice to him? ;) i hope you guys are getting along well!

timmy's been crazy busy with wrestling.. but loving every minute:) i'm just trying to get christmas completely done and finishing up some projects i've been making!! but we are all good here!

the boys are busy little men, but we still love them! just playing all day, making my house so messy! breck asks everyday if it is christmas time yet (i'm thinking he means christmas day!?) and keeps asking if we can put presents under the tree! all he wants is wrestling shoes and a batman mask. he's quite the kid! he's one of a kind, that's for sure!

we love you! take care! until next week..

let it snow..

merr doesn't enjoy the snow much..

but lala does!

and he's off..

yay!! we're so excited..

photos and an update..

breck wore this beanie to wrestling practice today. the reason? he said it would make the wrestlers laugh and they would like it.

i've been living with a cowboy these last few days. {which changes to a dinosaur every now and again. i have yet to get that on film..}

everything has to be a certain way, because that's what "tow-boys yike or towboys do".

and because his real boots are too small, snow boots work. they are boots ya know.

building football towers. (goal post)

merr's cheesy, funny little grin..

and pout-y face..

pretty miss lala..

breck would love a dog. i'm not ready yet. doesn't help that merr is terrified of that little thing. i have to hold him if the dog comes around..

i forgot to ever post a picture of the bridge lighting!




timmy and breck have races after a shower to see who can get dressed the fastest. can you guess who usually wins?!

hey ber-

how is everything this week?! we are doing good. all on the recovery end of colds and hoarse voices! but we're surviving! merr hasn't been hit yet, and i hope doesn't!

merr is finally walking a bit!(i'm sure you saw the previous post) but yay!! now he'll be off into everything..

so what season are you in now? is summer coming on you guys? it snowed last night. the schools ended up getting s snow day. it was fun to wake up and have timmy home with us! i'm excited for christmas vacation. hopefully it will be somewhat relaxing and peaceful!

have a wonderful week! we love you!

happy, happy day..

this handsome lil guy's 1st birthday fell on thanksgiving this year.
he did open presents. and had a candle on a pie.. but still needed to have a cake. so we had my family over to celebrate! (since we'd done the thanksgiving one with timmy's family)

he sure loved it..

this kid is awesome. we have very much enjoyed having him as part of our family. he is always on the go. he eats anything and everything you put in front of him. he likes to throw little fits if he doesn't get his way:) he is into everything he isn't supposed to be into. and he loves to play with anything breck has.

he has a sweet little soul and always gives the best wet little kisses. he likes balls, bats, shoes, blankets, blocks, really everything. and he still likes to eat and chew on everything.

he says a few words every now and again. {pretty much only understood by us} but he knows a few signs also. he can say drink, bite/food and more. he puts his hand and arm straight out and kinda points for love you.

and (my favorite) he sure loves his mama.{k really he loves us all.}

and we love him so very much! we can't even remember what life was like before him!

timmy calls as he is leaving for work. says go look out front. AMAZING.

about how close he was. no, really..

{have i told you i love where i live?!}

the count down begins..

elder brewer,

so how are you? things here are good! we had a great thanksgiving, it even snowed on us..

i can't believe it's already december! i know i said that about november too!

merr is 1. is that not crazy!? he still so little! he's getting a little chubby again though and i love it. and he's starting to walk! he takes a few steps by himself quite often now. i'm excited for him, but then he'll be running everywhere! so i'm not sure about that..

breck has changed his mind of what he wants for christmas. {like 5 times}right now it's wrestling shoes and a batman mask. i don't know where he gets some of these ideas! he's a funny kid. yesterday he was "talking" to you on the phone. he was saying hey ber-ber. hey you come home? when you done your mission? ok, bye! mom, ber- ber say he tome over when him's done!

he got a kick out of your picture with the turkey! he thought it was so funny. haha, he's a crazy little guy! keep the pics coming! we love them.

we love you! take care! have a wonderful week!

28/30

my family. my own, my extended, my in-laws. good people. so grateful for them. their support and love.

also our health.

29/30

my 2 boys. although they are starting to fight more, and play rough together, they sure love each other.

i love being their mom. some days are funner then others, of course, but i am so grateful for the opportunity i have of staying home with them. they are amazing little guys!

30/30

my home. the protection it provides.

the comfort and luxuries we enjoy.

someday we will on add on. the rest of the house will be to the right of this house {when your facing it} and a porch will run in front of it. i have pictures. one of these days i will show it. and explain it better. it'll be so cute!
