In need of a brother...

I walked into Macie's room to find her accessorising Branson. I used to do this to my little brother, and he turned out ok :)

Poor kid.

Allie just watching.

More Random Pictures

Branson making a huge flour mess while I was grinding wheat....as always.

"Hi."

Macie's Sweet outfit :)

Biting Bear's nose.

Crazy Little Kids

These are just some random pictures I took of the kids one day...

We have to keep the headbands away from Branson because he loves to put the on and wear them, silly kid.

Macie and her cheesy camera smile. She likes to dress her dolls in her own clothes.

Allie hanging out....as usual, poor girl.

Cutie little spit bubbles :)

Macie making a nest/bed out of the laundry basket and towel.

Branson getting into Macie's purse.

Snuggling with Daddy.

Allie Girl

Allie is SUCH a happy baby. We have been lucky for the third time in a row! She is so smiley and content most of the time. If she ever fusses, she is usually just hungry or tired, and once in a while wants held. We love her so much! Branson is still so soft and nice with her, which completely surprised me. Here she is playing with her toy...

Christmas 2011

Sadly, these are the only two pictures I have from Christmas this year. We took videos, so I kind of forgot to take actual pictures. We had a really fun Christmas. Macie woke us up on Christmas morning and was so excited that Santa had been here! She was telling us that Santa got Branson a bike, but it was actually for her. She kept saying it was for Branson, because she had asked for Princess dresses, not a bike :) She got her dresses, so she was happy. She also got some princess barbies that she was so excited about. Branson wasn't really into it this year, but that made him easy to please. This Santa thing is tricky. We had a nice low key Christmas as usual, and had fun being with our families.

Allie's Blessing

Reed blessed Allie on Dec. 4th.  It was a sweet blessing for such a special little spirit.  I am always so grateful for the priesthood that Reed holds, it is a huge blessing in our lives.  We had a luncheon at our house after the blessing with our family.  Everyone brought such good food, and I didn't have any leftovers from the things I made.....that's how you can tell it's Fast Sunday;)  As always, I forgot to get pictures of all of us.  But I was able to get a few while Allie was still in her dress.

Everyday Pictures.....



Branson eating yogurt......he's always such a mess, and such a ham for the camera!



This is what Allie does for a good portion of the day....sits in her bouncer.  I always think she must be so bored, but she is such a good baby. I would LOVE to hold her more than I get to.

Macie pretending to be Cinderella.  She is ALWAYS pretending to be someone other than herself. 

Branson and Macie still LOVE their little baby sister.  Branson gives her dozens of kisses every day, and Macie likes to hold her.  Allie is starting to smile and coo and she loves when you talk to her.  She is such a sweet little girl and we all love her to death. 

Watching a movie with the tree all lit up.  Macie is loving Christmas time this year, and it makes it so fun to remember how magical it was when I was little. 

Halloween

I know it's really late for this, but I wanted to catch up on my posts before Christmas.  This year was lots of fun because the kids, especially Macie, were able to get excited about it.  They got to dress up three time:  once for a party that our friends threw, again for our ward party, and again for trick-or-treating on Halloween.  Macie was a princess (of course) this year, and Branson was an army man.  I slacked a little on the costumes this year and used stuff we already had at home....it was kid of a busy time with Allie being born on the 20th.  I aslo kept forgetting my camera, so these are the only ones I have of them all dressed up on Halloween.....
