Family Post; Others View at Own Risk

If I can get Weston to keep his room cleaned long enough for me to take pictures, I'll have something else to show you. Until then (like 5 yrs from now), enjoy the random photos.

Already so smart. ;) 

Sissy loves baby brother.

Morning snuggles.

Randomness

I don't think this post could be any more random, but this is for my Mom who's dying for more pics... :) 

You always hear about people's tales that by the 3rd child, sometimes even the 2nd, there is less and less pictures. I'm trying to not let that happen, but let's be realistic. I'm tired. LOL! Hopefully, this too shall pass and the camera won't get too dusty.

 Please ignore the pile of cords in the background. The kiddos enjoyed Christmas, but they haven't learned the art of waking up at the crack of dawn and pestering Mom and Dad to get up. We were up before them and Arilynn just played patiently until Weston woke up. She didn't once mention opening presents. We'll see if that lasts...

I attempted a "photo shoot" with all 3, but Camden was having none of it. Of course, the other two cooperated when he wasn't and when he did, they didn't. 

In 95% of his pictures, he had his mouth opened. I tried shutting it. Wonder if that's a sign of things to come?

Love

Mommy's heart just keeps getting bigger!

Introduction

Allow me to introduce to you the newest member of our family:

Camden Luke

01/06/14

3:54 AM

7lbs 12oz, 20"

We're all in love with him!

I was actually scheduled for a c-section for Tues. However, this little booger decided he couldn't wait one more day to see his Mommy, so along he came...fast and furious. 

I hope to keep family & friends updated on here frequently, but no promises... :) Give me a little bit to establish "routine" (whatever that is).

Merry Christmas

We hope all of you have a blessed Christmas! 

This was last years...Sniff, sniff, they're getting so big, so fast!

Christmas Program

Arilynn was "Sweeten" for our church's Christmas program. She was so excited to do this...not like her Mother at all! 

The Stockings Were Hung...

Finally got around to taking some pics of the festiveness around here.

I found a couple of pillows over the summer that started the new look. (Last year, we had just moved and so we made do with our silver and blue tree, but it really didn't match). 

 I didn't have the funds to buy a lot, so I had to get crafty. I decorated the "presents" with brown paper from the Dollar Tree and vintage ribbon I found at a thrift store. 

The tree trio was found at the goodwill and the stockings at Marshalls (was super excited to find them and waaaaaaaay cheaper than what I was looking at at Target).

Instead of buying "stocking initials," I bought wooden letters at Micheals and spray painted them.

The red yarn balls were a pain to make at first, but once I figured out the rhythm (you had to hold your tongue just right) it went fairly quickly. However, the Modge-Podge might have been a little bit of a high that this prego lady shouldn't have gone on. LOL! The majority of the other things, I had on hand.

I had requested this Nativity set from my grandparents and Mom sent it early with Debbie. However, Wes asked me if I wanted it (even though I don't think he was supposed to) and so I already have it set up. I printed off the "chalkboard" sign from Pinterest via Staples' engineering prints. 

My only kitchen decor:

Went with a winter quote so I wouldn't have to change it as fast. Usin' my noggin'...
