The Mother of all Catch-Up Posts

Ok, I have been awful at keeping up with my blog the past few months! Dawson and Addy had birthdays, there was Halloween, and Brooks has gotten huge! I have like 2987285609873 pictures to upload to this post, but before I do I will give you a quick re-cap of some of the important things from the last few months.

Dawson turned four the day before we moved into our town house. It was a fun day, and we took the kids to the trampoline park. They loved it!! It was so fun to see what a great time they were having. Dawson is getting so big, and just cracks me up all the time. He is always saying big words and funny things  and I really wish I  had been writing it all down so I could remember them now. The main story I remember is one morning the kids woke up and came upstairs like they always do. Tyler and I were still laying in bed and we could hear their cute little voices as they conversed with each other. I couldn’t catch everything they were saying, but then I very clearly heard Dawson say to Addy, in a very matter-of-fact kind of way: “Everybody has a bum, sweetheart.” I so wish I could have heard the conversation leading up to that. Tyler and I lay in bed and laughed quietly.
Then there is our Addy Rose! She turned two on October 19th, and she is a little spit-fire. She loves to show off and be the center of attention!
I have a funny story about Addy. We were in church (in my parents ward in NC, actually) this past week. During the sacrament I told Addy she could sit on my lap and think about Jesus, and she asked me where Jesus was. I told her he lived in Heaven in the sky. Addy got upset and said "I no want Jesus to go by bye." I told her that even though she can't see him, he is there and he can hear here when she talks to him. She instantly looked at the ceiling and said loudly "Hey Jesus!" That made me laugh, and then I told her that we can talk to Jesus when we pray. She then looked down, closed her eyes and said again, loudly, "Hey Jesus!" I love how innocent little children are.
Last, but not least, is our sweet Brooks. I cannot believe he is almost 6 months old already! We have been in NC for the past week and a half, and in that time he got his two bottom teeth. It is so cute! He is sitting up now, and trying to crawl. He is such an easy going little guy, and everyone always comments on what a good baby he is. He will go to just about anyone, and is always full of smiles and giggles. I am still trying to ease him into solid food, and so far his favorite is bananas. Brooks' hair is getting looong, and he has a mullet going on.

He loves to shave (no worries, Tyler took the blade out).




Brooks loves listening to Tyler play guitar and sing.


This picture has bad quality but it shows just how long her hair is. People comment on it wherever we go.







Making some Christmas cookies


Waiting for Adam and Kyrsten to come!




This pic melts my heart.


Waiting for Grandma and Grandpa to come.

Christmas Eve with Grandma and Grandpa (please excuse that there these are in no particular order)

Lovin' her Rapunzel costume.


At the airport on Christmas day to go see Mimi and Papa. Everyone thought it was so cute that Addy was riding on this suit case.

They got to go in the cockpit. I didn't even know you could do this anymore. (Ps, my phone pics have horrible quality, and we just sold our big camera, so I am in the process of getting another camera so I can have good pics again).

First night at Mimi and Papa's
Kickin' back in Lucas "Vinny Man"


This is her new face she makes for pics.

Andrew isn't really this ugly, its just the face he is making:)


Dawson is digging a hole to China with his buddy Zayah.



That's Zayah waaaaay up in that tree!

Besties forever. We were a little tired.

She loved this rocking chair at Sister McLeod's house, and didn't want anyone else to sit in it.

My crazy girl.


The birthday boy, all sweaty after the trampoline park.




The four-year-old got a scooter!





We loved the tramp park so much that we went again for Addy's bday.







Happy birthday, sweet girl!!




When she saw this cart, she said "Oh my dosh!!!!"
