My kiddos...

These are just some pics I've taken over the past few days...












And some more Holiday Pics

While Kajsa was gone she asked me to upload some of the pics that Mike and I got on our camera (a new Christmas present!) over the Holidays. Mike is quite the photographer!The whole fam!

Smiley Madeline!She's always posing!
Hobbes was dancing like crazy with Kajsa - and laughing the whole time! (He really looks like Seth's baby shots here.)

This was a contest of who could do the best "Blue Steel." Bray won. (Kajsa has obviously been practicing since these were taken if you see the post below! :)

New Year's Eve!

Pics through the holidays...

Hello, everyone!

Sorry I have not posted-we are still enjoying our time with the Southern fam, here in Louisiana! We had a rocky beginning, as we all decided to catch a stomach virus on the plane, and then pass it to half the family as a Christmas gift! However, it seems to be at an end, and we have enjoyed spending time with cousins, siblings, parents and even grandmas! (This Christmas, Madeline and Hobbes have been able to see all 3 great-grandmas! What a blessing!) We are having a wonderful time, and I just wanted to post some pics. So, hope the New Year is off to a good start, and we'll be in touch!




Swimming with most of the cousins-Bray's Aunt Laura and Uncle Jimmy are staying at a hotel, so the kids had a blast this morning at the pool! (in this pic:Madeline, Kajsa, Hobbes, Bethany, Jaiken, Archer and in-utero Oz)
Playing with cousins Laurabelle and Samson in the kiddie pool...

On Saturday, we got to go to a performance of "Cirque Dreams," which is similar to the European show of Cirque du Soleil....it was AMAZING! We had a wonderful time!

In this pic: Caleb, Kajsa, Bray, Memom and Charity
Again at the performance!

In this pic: Caleb, Bray, Steve, Memom and Charity.





Charity and I after the show...
Trying to perfect Blue Steel-I am not very good at it!



Taking the kids for a walk in the 70 degree weather! Quite a change from snow!
This was a stocking stuffer from Gege-it's Madeline's 1st dress-ups! (it's a flower, by the way:)




My little diva-no matter how fussy she is,if the camera comes out, this is what I get!
Hobbes has loved the warm weather-he can run around outside for hours! (It's nice to not have to bundle up, that's for sure!)
With both great-grandmas: Lee Wilkins, Madeline, and Ele Hilleke. How wonderful!


And now Hobbes with the 2 great-grandmas!

Time with Family...

This week has been absolutely amazing- a bit insane, but yet amazing! Tonight we had to say goodbye to Seth, Naphtali and my Grandma, after a week of eating, talking, playing Apples to Apples, eating, sledding, dancing, watching movies, eating, shopping, drinking...did I mention eating? It all went by too fast, and we were sad that they have to go. However, we fly out to Monroe tomorrow to see the other side of the fam, so the fun isn't over yet! So here are some pics to document, and until I get another chance to blog, Happy New Year!
Look who can get into the toys all by herself!

Snowball fight!!! (Naphtali fights dirty!:)
Sopping wet, yet smiling.
On the way home!
So cute in the snow!
Pop and I...although it looks like he's trying to trip me!

Daddy, giving Madeline her first 'taste' of snow!
We are about to go down the hill!!!
These 2 always seem to be smiling together for the camera....CUTE!

Slowly walking up the hill-but stopping every 2 steps to eat another handful of snow.
Sitting and eating snow...he thought this was better than sledding! Weird!
