Brexten Jacob

We got Brexten's newborn pictures back, and I love them!  These are my top favorites

Bryden is not one of those kids who always wants to be naked, he thinks its funny at bath time but never asks to take his clothes off or tries himself, but for some reason the morning we had the pictures done he refused to put on a shirt! 

But isn't this oh so cute?? He is such a sweet, happy guy!

And he has turned into such a great big brother, actually he is a pretty great little brother too:)

I can't believe this is my last newborn:(

He is just so precious

He is already a mama's boy, yay!!

The perfect bunch of kiddos we could ever imagine

Bryden thinks he is so funny, especially when he is being naughty!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this so much! perfectly represents are happy, crazy, beautiful life!!!

Holiday season!

I just absolutely love this time of year with my kiddos!! I try to get all my shopping done by mid November and all my wrapping and decorating done by Thanksgiving so we can spend the entire month of December doing fun things!

This was the Thanksgiving Feast at Brilee's preschool, it worked out that Clint could come and even Brennar too

I'm not sure there has even been a sister who loves her brothers more than this sweet girl, I adore her!

We got our Christmas jammies Thanksgiving night, and we haven't got out of them yet!!

 

 

My beautiful tree, I LOVE looking at it!

We've already visited Santa too, here are the big kids checking to see if they made the nice list

And they did!

Not too bad, Bryden was not having it though!

Merry Christmas!!!

My kids the last few weeks

I love impromptu photo shoots with this little man.  I usually take about 25 pictures right in a row, it is so neat to see all the different expressions he makes in just a few minutes.

Usually the other kids are nearby so I try to get a couple good ones of them too

One of the very best parts of having a newborn, I was so jealous when I saw this!

Another photo shoot:)

My little Bronco fans

I just love him so much!

When Brexten was born he was small for his gestational age they said, so they had to test his blood sugar all the time, it was pretty low so they didn't want to give him a bath.  They told us that the baths stress the babies out and makes their little bodies work hard to stay warm which would in turn drop his blood sugar more, so he hasn't had too many baths, because I still think about that.  Although he is just fine and growing like a champ.  But when he does get baths I always take pictures:)

I think he was dreaming about his mommy here!

Our friend Sadie turned 2 last week so we took the 8 kids to a fun center in our town.  They had a blast!

Even this Mr. was happy

And who doesn't like clown ice cream cones!

I can't get over Bryden in this picture!  My boys can't stand having their hands dirty, so I guess Byden thought this was the best way to eat:)

2 months old!!

How can this possibly be!! As with all babies, the time has flew by!

He is such a sweet baby, always very accommodating to whichever sibling wants to hold/mess with him:) 

He is very relaxed and content for the most part.  So nice!

He sleeps very good - during the day!!

And he is finally giving us those coveted smiles we've been waiting for!!

He most definitely completes our family!  We love you little man!  And just for my future reference he weighed 10lbs 9oz today and was 23.5"
