First Half of December

Glamorous life of a mom...giving constipated baby boy a suppository, hanging out on the bathroom floor. 
 Fun Thanksgiving package from Grandma and Poppa 
 Chubby boy at the doctor office 
 I love these sleepy monkeys 
 Time to set up for Christmas! 
 I've been going to PT for my knee and I get the best results after cupping! 
 Being a good boy, sleeping for the babysitter 
 Family park time inbetween Jesse's study sessions! 
 5pm, everyday, stand at attention with your hand over your heart. 
 We went with some friends to the bases "Holiday Magic" event to get in the festive mood! The 30 minute wait in line was almost worth the 3 minutes horse carriage ride...almost! ;) It's nice celebrating the holiday while it's 75 degrees out! 
Let's be honest...I made her go to the sugar cookie station so I could eat it knowing she wouldn't eat it... :) 
 Very blurry carriage ride picture 
 Charlie boy loves to sleep in our bed on a pillow with a blankey :) 
 Sweet church boy 
 Bedtime with my babies 
Windy park date with Lucy girl! 
 I feel like I will forever be this grungy tired mom 
 Lucy loves making pancakes with me. She is all about stirring, doesn't let mom help at all. 
 All was well at the cutest Christmas story time at the library (they even handed out these awesome books!) until I made Lucy sit on Santa's lap. I actually feel a little guilty, cause she was so sad! But Charlie on the other hand, was just clueless and happy as can be. 
 This momma loves her me time at the gym 
 Today was a hard day. Lucy was giving me a hard time and I was frustrated with fussy Charlie and I had a moment of crying while the kids were distracted. Until I heard Lucy say, "oh noooo! Happy. Mom." She didn't care how not great of a mom I was that day, just put her little hands on my cheeks, looked me in the eyes and told me to be happy, then gave me a kiss. I'm grateful for my sweet children. 
 I love the look Charlie gives daddy. He loves when Jess plays the guitar. 
 One of the gym child care workers invited Lucy to her daughters birthday party! Lucy was so cute and proud of herself walking up to the house, holding her present. 
 Making delicious bread with a friend from the ward! 
 There she goes again, lining things up. 
 How wonderful is this December weather?!
 My friend Tayler hosted a little Christmas "sock party" that I got to get away from the kids for a minute and have fun with some girls! 
 These kids are early risers....this mom is not loving it. 
 Play date with Jack and June! These kids are the sweetest and have so much fun together while Tayler and I get to talk.
