Happy 1st Birthday Sophie!

Brady & Hailey's cousin, Sophie, celebrated her 1st Birthday on November 21st! All the cousins were in attendance for the big event.   

 

BSM Christmas Party

A few weeks ago the kids and Brian were able to visit my high school, Benilde-St. Margaret's, for the first time at the annual Children's Christmas Party.

We were able to visit with Santa Claus and surprisingly, H & B were just fine.  I was sure at least one of them was going to loose it! The Held's were also in attendance at the event. Perhaps the trio (Hailey, Sophie and Brady) may someday be classmates at BSM....

 

My little Snuggle Bug

Every once in awhile I am able to get in a picture with the kiddos. I couldn't pass up this special snuggling session!
As you can see, the belly is growing! It is hard to believe little baby Murray is 21 weeks a cookin'! May 4th will be here before we know it!

Cheeri-oooo

Cheerios have quickly become the kids' favorite snack. I just pour them out and there is instant entertainment! As you can see, Moose is the clean-up crew after the feeding frenzy!

My little helper

H has recently discovered the dishwasher. She loves to climb on it when the door is open and see her reflection when it is closed. Moose has unfortunately lost his spot. Poor Moosey!

Sioux Falls Weekend

The family went to Sioux Falls the weekend after Thanksgiving. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend as we always do!
B & H were able to use high chairs with a lot of history! The red high chair was used by Brian's Mom and uncles and the blue one was used by Brian, Jon and Scott. Pretty amazing!

Play date

My friend Sarah from work came over with her daughter, Emerson, for a little twin fun! E is two months younger than the twinkies.

So Blessed

There is nothing more I love then these two peanuts in their diapers crawling around!

Good Morning Mr. Man

I went to get Brady up this morning and found him in a peculiar position....

Wrong Way!

It looks like H gets her sense of direction from her Dad!

Winter Hats

My parents gave Brady and Hailey some cute winter hats when they were on their last trip abroad. I thought it would be fun to get some pictures with the kids wearing the hats together.  Let's just say my attemps were futile.  Brady is not what you would call a hat lover.  If it is not tied around his neck that hat is off as quick as possible.  Hailey on the other hand doesn't seem to notice.  Thanks for the cute hats Mom and Dad!
