*Super late...... Christmas 2013*

Life has been so busy for our family lately that I have not gotten around till now to post about Christmas, and many other fun things that have happened. Anyways, Christmas was tons of fun this year, Jaden understood for the most part the whole Santa thing and was pretty excited on Christmas morning to see what he brought. I truly LOVE to buy toys and fun things for my kids and I had to stop myself from going too crazy otherwise we would of gone totally broke hahah. It's so fun to see there faces light up on Christmas morning and get so excited with all the new fun things to play with (being a parent especially on birthday and holidays is the BEST)!!

All of our family lives close so of course we had to make our usual round to both my family and Josh's on Christmas Day.First we started at our house with Santa's and Mommy/Daddy presents:

Santa left a message for Jaden on his new Lego table!

Love our new personalized stockings!!

Eli's 1st Christmas/11 Months old

The Thomas the Train Lego's were a huge hit!

Then we go to Grandma and Papa's house:

My present..enough said!!!

My sweet Eli turned 11 Months old on Christmas Day!

Jaden and Eli's big present from Josh's parents, a new swing set!!

Last we went to Grammy and Grandpa's house:

My dad took all the pictures on his camera so those pictures to come!

We had a wonderful Christmas and a calm, stay at home watch Netflix New Years!! Excited for 2014 and all the new adventures it has to offer!

*My Sunbeam*

Today was Jaden's first Sunday as a Sunbeam at church. I cried just taking this picture and then totally lost it saying goodbye to him in Primary (he did great, mommy not so much lol). I feel that time is going too fast, and that before I know it this will be a mission picture and I'll be saying goodbye for two years not just two hours. So proud of Jaden and the big boy he is becoming!

*Sugar plums dancing in their heads*

My babies sleeping waiting for Santa to come in the morning, love them and love this time of year!!!

*Handsome Boy*

First Christmas and dressed in his finest for church!!!

*Eli's First Haircut*

My wonderfully talented sister gave my sweet little man his first haircut!! It was majorly overdue, but my sister has to give my kids the first cut so therefore I had to wait for her to come visit. He looks so handsome and so glad it's done for the holidays.

*Finally Crawling*

My little bubba Eli is finally crawling!!! He has been on the brink of it for about a month now, so finally got the strength to do it!!!

*Thanksgiving/Dunes 2013*

Thanksgiving of course was at the sand dunes this year, and we had so much fun! We also got to camp in our very own toy hauler/trailer that we bought a few months ago so that was pretty exciting as well (it's a major fixer upper and we are redoing everything so pictures to come on that). I being the dork that I am forgot my camera for this trip, so had to use my phone camera (luckily the pictures turned out okay still). 

This was also Eli's very FIRST dune trip (10 months old) and I think it's safe to say he is definitely a dune boy!! He didn't really like all the loud noises of the quads or Rhino when they were all being started up, but once he was riding around he did great. Jaden is also getting so big and rode around on his own quad too! I have to say it brought tears to my eyes seeing him ride by himself for the first time, because that just means he is getting older and becoming more and more not my baby anymore. Thanksgiving Day was awesome, we ate lots of yummy turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffing and much more. More pictures to come but I have to get them off Josh's phone.

*Ten Months Old*

We are now in the double digits...really? Time please slow down, I'm not ready to give up my baby!! So here are some stats on my little Eli:

Weight: 16 lbs (still my small boy)

Clothes: 9-12 months 

Nursing: YES!! But he has become the most distracted eater ever, so we have been doing bottles a lot more.

Crawling: Nope not yet. He is almost there and scoots around backwards all over the floor. My kids are super late crawlers haha, but I don't mind at all!!

Solids: Loves any food we are eating, not loving baby food so much anymore. I just use my hand blender now and just blend together anything we eat for him.

Teeth: SIX teeth (four on top, and two on bottom)

Sleep: Good sleeper for the most part!

So that is the ten month update on my little man. I can't believe we are almost to a year!!
