Christmas Day

Proofs

Also got our proofs back from family pictures with the Santiago's. Thought I would share a few!

Pictures of Crew.

Here are some pictures of Crew that my friend Sara took. She gave me a disc with all of them so I can print & do whatever I want with them.
I think they turned out really good.

SNOW!!

Can you believe that is Sunrise Mountian! I know this is nothing to you Idaho kids. But very crazy & kind of exciting!

Excited for Christmas!

I asked mom last night if she would get excited for Christmas when we were younger. She said yes. I am so excited this year for Christmas. Excited to see the reactions of the boys. It is crazy because I really don't want to wait. Excited for them to get some new toys & games to occupy their time. Well especially Tanner's time while he is on break. I feel that he is going to forget what he has learned. Especially since he is still learning so many new things with his letters and words. I got him some fun educational games to help him learn but have fun at the same time.
He is also getting a custom skateboard. I picked out everything from the board to the wheels. That was a learning experience. I really hope he likes it. Carson is getting a spider man scooter and some Diego toys!


Carson took this picture this morning of me feeding Crew. I think he did a good job. He was telling Crew to say cheese. I thought that was funny.

Crazy Cat

Yes this is Boots climbing to the top of our neighbors house! I have seen her sometimes walking across the peak of their roof. Have always wondered how she gets up there. So this was on saturday when we were in the backyard cleaning. I still didn't see exactly where she got up.
Crazy Cat!!

Just some more pictures of Crew. Look at that hair! It is so long in the back.
It is hard to tell in this picture of Carson but he did his own hair today. I am not sure how much gel he put in but it is plastered down to his head.

My sweet Carson

Carson is so sweet with Crew! He is always asking if he can hold him. And I mean ALWAYS. But it seems like it is at the worst times. Not when he is happy & content or even sleeping. No it is when he is crying and ready to eat or go to sleep. But I can't say no to that sweet face! So poor Crew has to be held and is usually looking like this.

Christmas pjs

Here is some pictures of Crew in some Christmas pjs that Nana Jean gave to him.

Christmas blocks

I felt a little crafty today & made some Christmas blocks.

Nativity

We set up my nativities today! I took a picture of each of them. Was thinking I could make a mini album?? Here are a couple of my favorites.

Crew

Crew is 11 days old today! It is crazy how much newborns sleep. He sleeps so much. Here are some pictures of him with his eyes open! I love when they are this little. And it goes by so fast.

It is so amazing how much love this little person has brought into our home! I love when Carson will just stop what he is doing and will sit by Crew and kiss & love on him and sing songs to him. We love him!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good!! Good food!
It was nice to see Russell, Caitlin, Otis and Justin.

More pictures!

Crew

Here is a quick picture of Crew (& Carson)! I will post more later!

Wrestling

These boys love to wrestle! Well they call it "rough up". I think it is funny because Carson is pretty tough and look who always gets hurt by his little brother!

I have not posted in so long!

What is new:
-Tanner had his last soccer game this morning. Can you see me smiling? It will just be nice to not have monday & wednesday practices and early saturday morning games. I would post a picture but never took my camera. Just one more thing that I would have to carry. He did a really good job for his first year playing. He can't wait for his party so he can get his trophy. He thinks that is the coolest thing!

-We are waiting for this little baby to come! The boys have been talking about him more & more. Wonder what it will be like when he is finally here. It will probably be a funny thing to be a fly on the wall at my house. Watching me with three kids. I'm still not sure how I am going to adjust!

-We finally decided to name the baby Crew Jackson.

-Really that is about all the excitement around here. Kind of sad but I guess that is why I haven't posted in so long!

Look who's 3!

Happy Birthday to Carson!

Rainbow

There were two pretty rainbows tonight. One right on top of the other. From our house you could see both of them. And the whole rainbow. The boys thought that was pretty cool.
Our next door neighbor was out with her little girl & was pointing it out to her. She told her it was a rainbow like on her Care Bear! Thought that was pretty funny & that I can't say that to my boys!
I was trying all different settings with my camera. The lighting outside was so crazy. It was kind of yellow. Maybe I can get some advice from my sistas!

Rainy Day

This was us at 10:00 this morning. The boys were bugging to go outside all morning. I think they just wanted to use the umbrella!

I think someone needs his own camera!

Tanner got his little hands on my camera. Not even sure how he knew how to turn it on and use it?? Kind of funny though of the pictures he took. Don't you love his sticker collection on his dresser?

Been thinking

Look how big he is!!! Been thinking that pretty soon he will never be my baby again.
I went to the doctor yesterday and my next two appointments will be two weeks apart. Then after those appointments they will be every week. That makes it seem so much closer! Kind of exciting but scary all at the same time. Scared of how we will adjust to THREE! But excited to finally meet him and see how the boys are with a new little one. Scared of the whole hospital experience and how everything will turn out! But excited to not have this little baby kicking me all the time (especially at night when I am trying to be still). I have to register at the hospital and I guess try to get things ready around here. Buy some diapers and supplies and stock up on the necessities. Do some major cleaning. Try to get some if not most of my Christmas shopping done.
Anyways just thinking out loud!!

Potty time!

I think Carson learned this habit from his Daddy!!

Scrapbook page

I did this page while Tanner was at school. I don't even remember the last time I scrapbooked. It was kind of nice not to have to worry about Tanner getting into all my stuff and wasting it. So I think that is what I will have to do for now on-- scrapbook when he is at school!

Kitchen & New Rug

I found this kitchen at Goodwill. It was only $17 in the box from Target. I saw it in the Sunday ad yesterday for $60. I almost didn't get it because I thought that the boys probably wouldn't play with it but they actually love it.

And this is my find from my weekend trip to IKEA. But I found this at state line at the Pottery Barn Outlet. It was on clearance for $35. I love it!! I think it goes really good with all my kitchen chairs!

Cousins

Cherine came into town this weekend. It was really nice to see them & visit. Michael is getting so big. I was able to get a picture of all the boy Santiago cousins.
