To bring in the New Year we decided that we would have some friends over we had over The Grochs, Hoggards, Schwarz, Days and Wendlings.  Our house was a little full but we had a good time.  We prepared some fun minute win it games, dinner and some good treats.  
 We are trying to get the Oreos from our forehead to our mouths with out touching the cookie.  I thought it was hard I could not even do it. 
 This game you are trying to get the quarter out of the botttom of the nylons with only using your hands

 This was our attempt at the balloon drop it kinda worked. We did our count down a little early at 9:00 because we did not want to handle the kids that long.  But we still had a good time
Braxton playing the elephant game he did a pretty good job.  The goal was to tip over the water bottles with the ball hanging from his head.

 My 2013 numbers I made they were fun

Christmas

We had a great Christmas it was our first year ever having Christmas at our own house.  We did not make it back to Utah this year.  I do have to say it was a very nice and relaxing Christmas, that being said we did miss seeing everyone.  We did have family on skype a lot so that made it easier because we still had the opportunity to see our family.   The boys loved being able to play with all their presents instead of running all over to different house.  We were all spoiled like usual Santa (aka Kirk and Lindy) were way too good to us. We all loved everything we got thank you!   The boys were very excited!

 Baby Dylan got this bouncer and the boys decided to pile the toys on him.

 Spoiled boys I think they are turning rotten

Fun with the new Baby

It has been fun getting used to the new little addition in the family!  He has been so cute and sweet.  He is adored by his big brothers they want to hold him all the time.  We were fortunate enough to have help from Grandma for 2 weeks we were sad to see her leave but  I guess I have to learn to handle all these boys myself.   Luckily we are starting to get into a routine and doing pretty good.
