Porter videos

A couple of Porter's "favorites" right now. He loves to get running really fast with his dump truck and then lift up his feet and let the truck drag him. Also, he is into getting himself naked in his crib when he is supposed to be napping. Decided to get it on video and was glad this time that he left his shirt on so I could post it on the blog! He sure keeps us busy!

Oh what do you do in the wintertime....

Help mom make cookies...

Make a fishing game to help learn our letters...

and go see Grandma and Grandpa of course...

Spring spring where are you??? Are you coming soon?? We are ready!

It just doesn't seem right...

Hand me downs.....they are wonderful, especially when you have 3 boys right in a row. But there are certain hand me downs that I am having problems with...for example, there is one sweatshirt that Miles wore that is so Miles that I have a hard time seeing Quincy in it...weird huh? Here is another "problem"...

Miles wore this outfit almost every day for YEARS!!! Weird to see Q wearing it....

Same with Porter wearing Quincy's "Jordan" outfit. It just seems wrong!

I guess I'll get used to it. Now I am really going to have a hard time calling the boys by the right name!

Porter's bankie!!!

Still lovin' it after 2 years....

not so fuzzy anymore though.

Was tempted to try and go buy another one but don't know if he'd like the fuzzy new one.

Sledding with "Pile's" family

To preface this blog: "Pile" is Allen's cousin Kyle. Kyle has been staying with us off and on for a month while the final details were getting worked out on his family's home that they were buying. They were supposed to close the beginning of December so Kyle started his new job here but they ended up not closing until Jan. The boys absolutely love Kyle. Porter calls him "Pile". WE ARE SO EXCITED THAT THEY LIVE SO CLOSE NOW!!! They have boys and we have boys! yipee! The boys have never lived close to cousins!

I took Porter to the Dr this morning so everyone else went sledding. The boys love to sled!!

Our sledding fans!

Kyle, Jessica, and their 2 little guys

Kiki loves to sled but this usually ends up happening part way through the sledding experience.

Miles always has a blast sledding! Looks like he wants to sleep with his sled!

Since I wasn't there I can only guess...but this is usually Kiki by the end of a sledding trip! I absolutely love this shot...is that bad? He is adorable, even when he is pouty...and I can't hear it, which helps!!

Magnify yourself...

LITERALLY!!!!

Bradfords brave the cold...

My grandparents are from Southern California, so when we invited them to our house for Christmas...they knew they'd need to be prepared. Grandpa bought flannel lined jeans especially for the trip! heehee. We had lots of fun with them. I took Grandma on a girls trip to the Quilted Bear, a favorite for both of us! We also played lots of Old Maid. They had fun watching our craziness Christmas morning! I am sure they enjoyed the quiet and WARM weather when they got home! Thanks for coming guys! My basement smelled like "grandma" for days! (Every time my grandma sends me a package, I can smell her...she wears this day cream and it is really strong and yummy) Even as a kid I would comment on Grandma's smell....It took us awhile to figure out it was her moisturizer.
