The last week...

All wrapped up after tub time


Ben loves bubble baths!


Going for a horsey ride on Papa :)


Posing with our tree


Waving "hi" to everyone!

So I have quite a few pictures that I would be putting on the blog but I'm holding back...my mom wanted a photo book for Christmas and wanted there to be a few pictures in there that she hasn't seen! So I guess I'll be posting them after Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Fam

We will fool ourselves into believing that Ben was smiling for this picture and not whining to get away... he's not much for photo taking lately!
Our Thanksgiving was really great. Brent was home the entire week and we all had a wonderful time together! Ben especially liked having his Papa around more than usual :) Friday was my birthday and we went to some friends houde to watch the CSU v Wyoming game. Saturday we had our Thanksgiving at Brent's parents' house and Sunday my friend, Cassandra, and I went to lunch and the Nutcracker! It was really great to get away and have some girl time.

Future hockey player!

Ben loved his 1st time out on the ice!


Brent carried him a little and let him skate between his legs.


Headed out with the chair for balance...


Geared up!


Putting on his skates...they are so little and too cute!

We took Ben skating for the first time yesterday and he loved it! Brent was so happy that his little guy loved it too...I'm sure he wants a hockey player!

Noah is 5 months old!

Noah is getting so big and changing by the day! He is about 17 lbs right now...maybe more. He is getting quite good at sitting up. He is also starting to jump in his jumperoo where before he would just sit and play with the toys on it. He is always making noises and his most current favorite noise is a really loud high pitched squeal. He gets so excited and sometimes surprised when he does it. It's pretty cute...just not when he does it in the middle of the night! Speaking of the middle of the night...he just went through some sort of phase where he was waking up a ton and crying during the night for about 2 or so weeks. I'm not sure if his little cold was bothering him or if he was going through a growth spurt. It was really hard on me because he wasn't sleeping much during the day either so I rarely got a break! But the last few nights have been better so hopefully he goes back to sleeping through the night!

Winter Wonderland!

Pictures from our deck of the first "real" snow of the season!


Beautiful sunrise




We finally have snow! Pretty late in the season for us. Today it's about 3 degrees so we are well into the winter weather! In other words...Rosie brace yourself for Christmastime because it's going to be cold and dark! :) But when it's clear and the sun comes out it sure is beautiful!!!

Our Little Pink Piglet

As if he doesn't get enough to eat...he's got to eat his toes!

This is Noah's new favorite position. He loves to pull his chubby legs up with both arms and chew on his feet. I usually leave his bottom half undressed after I change him for awhile just so he can chew on them! The funniest part about this picture is since I was trying to keep out his "parts" so it was blog worthy it looks like he's got someone elses legs!

Happy Halloween!

Our little monkey and porky pumpkin!

We took the boys to a concert on Halloween. It was of course for kids with the theme "Alien Antics". Ben loved the music and the lights on the stage. He sat totally enthralled on Brent's lap most of the performance. Noah was content to sit and watch until they played the Star Wars theme...the loud part at the beginning scared him so he then spent the rest of the performance nursed into a sleep coma! This is one of my favorite perks of breastfeeding!!! They had trick or treating afterwards in the building but it was crazy...I'm really glad Ben doesn't even know what candy is so we could skip that part with no objections from him. Our good friends Jeff and Cassandra came with their little girl Mallory too. So much fun!

Benjamin Boo is Two!

Posing with his presents so artfully wrapped by his Aunt Rosie


Most of the kiddos at his birthday party having cake (the folding table and chairs set was a gift from Grandma Debbie)


The Thomas the Train cake that Rose decorated all by herself! And everyone thought was store bought!

We had a little party for Ben while my sister was here visiting. It was a small gathering of people but with parent and kids the house filled up quick! It was fun though. With my sister's help we made a Mexican feast - so yummy!
There will be more pictures to come - my photo editor is messed up so I have to wait until it gets fixed.

Noah is 4 months old!

Noah posing nakey :)


Just for comparison...Ben at 4 months...same chair!


He just recently found his feet and loves to grab them!


They are so sweet :)

Noah is becoming quite the talker lately. He is actually pretty loud and especially likes to talk when he pulls his paci out of his mouth, sometimes at 5am! He is sleeping through the night but not taking very long naps. But Ben didn't sleep through the night at this age and didn't take long naps either so I'll take what I can get! We go to the doctor for Ben's 2yr and Noah's 4 month next week so we will have stats then!

Photoshoot Time!

I took these pictures about 3 weeks ago...I guess I forgot to post them on here! Things just slip my mind... It was hard getting Ben to cooperate and Noah not to cry but there were a few cute ones :)
