~*2014 Year In Review*~

This year has gone by SO fast, and yet so much has happened. We have been so blessed in so many ways as we look back at everything. Here is a recap...

JANUARY

January was Rob's first semester back at school so things were INSANE for the first little while as we adjusted to a new schedule. We still managed to find some time to enjoy the snow with Weston and my family. 

FEBRUARY

This was another pretty chill month, but Rob managed to find yet another amazing talent that he has when he painted our first guns. My kitchen has been overrun with paints and gun parts ever since ;)

MARCH

Nothing too insane for March, Weston chipped his tooth playing with Grandpa and Bors. He handled it like a champ and cried for like 10 seconds before he was over it. I also died my hair red...because why not right?

APRIL

April we spent a week in Boise for Rob's work, and then celebrated Easter at home.

MAY

We started enjoying the warm weather while it would last, we also built a fort that stayed up for over a week that Weston loved to lay in and read his books. We also made a HUGE announcement

JUNE

By June we were ready to be outside as often as we could! We went to Rexburg for their airshow, went for a drive in the mountains, played in the rain, and went to Driggs for their America event.

 JULY

July we celebrated the 4th and made a fort.

AUGUST

We finally made it up to Washington!

 SEPTEMBER

Was all about getting ready for hunting, which meant we were constantly out in the mountains! We also celebrated Weston's 2nd birthday and went to the fair!

OCTOBER

HALLOWEEN! That means Boo at the Zoo and the pumpkin patch. Also, Brady got married!

 NOVEMBER

Rob flew to the Oregon coast with some of my family for lunch, because who doesn't do that?! We also went out to enjoy the first snow fall, and of course, welcomed Colton to our family!!!

DECEMBER

December we spent getting ready for Christmas and enjoying our new baby!

Thank you everyone who has helped make this year the best yet! We cannot wait to see what the new year is going to bring and wish you all safety and joy! 

Our Christmas

This year's Christmas has been so different. With Colton being born I have been too exhausted to get crazy into the decorating and everything like I usually do. So in a way, it hasn't felt like Christmas because I haven't been obsessing like usual. At the same time, this year was the first that Weston was really old enough to be excited and that made it SO much fun! I am so blessed to have all these boys in my life, I just can't even imagine what I would do without them!

Colton slept through the whole thing :)

Thanksgiving and the last little bit.

We are adjusting quite nicely after doubling our child population in the house. It has been crazy, but really amazing. Weston absolutely loves his brother and the biggest issue we've had is him trying to love on Colton so much. A pretty good problem to have I think :) He is definitely having to adjust from not having as much attention, but overall he's doing well. Colton is an amazing kid. He loves being snuggled and held, and occasionally he'll even only wake up once during the night for me, that's very kind of him. Rob and I are both back to work and things are settling down. I am feeling great, and it's amazing how well Colton has just slid right in to our family and fit right now. I can't even remember what life was like without him. 

Here are some pictures over the last little while :)

Being a cheese ball, showing off his long shaggy hair.

This is how I spent Thanksgiving...sleeping :)

My family had no problem taking turns with the baby while I recuperated. 

Weston even almost cuddled with me :) 

Loves his dad snuggle time.

Rob kind of enjoys it as well.

Sometimes you just have to bribe a kid with ice cream if he'll sit through a hair cut without crying. Worked like a charm!

Christmas baby :)

The best possible pic we could get of the two of them

Merry Christmas!! :)

Colton's Baby Pictures

Who can believe my baby is already two weeks old?! Me neither. Life has been crazy, which seems to be making it go by that much faster. For the most part we are all adjusted and settled I think. Weston loves his little brother, loves helping mom, and still loves attention. As long as we can find balance between those three things, he's a happy camper. Colton is doing amazing, and we are loving having him here! He loves to be held, and sleeps best in someone's arms, which is completely opposite of how Weston was so we are soaking up the cuddle time while it lasts! We've been snapping pictures off and on throughout the last two weeks, and I finally got a few put together and edited that are worth showing off :)
