Hanging out, Barbie Jeeps and Haircuts

I love this pic of them. Berkley is probably getting ready to snap his neck but it looks like she's being sweet.

 Lazy morning around the house

 Patton put on some cool guy clothes and was having fun dancing while Elliott sang

 P got to go for his first ride in the Barbie Escalade. He thought he was pretty cool, he cried every time the girls stopped.

 I put this in black and white so it would look tougher.....Berkley used to ride like this too. I just think it so cute how he has his arm up like that.

 I love this pic of him and Gracie looking at each other as she drives him around

 I am so mean to this poor baby. Taking pictures of him when he's crying and wants to be picked up.  I just never want to forget how sweet he looks holding onto my legs.

 P went with Chris to Aunt Ray's salon to get his first haircut.  He really didn't need much of one, but his spikes were too long to stay up. I had to get that taken care of, he also had about two hairs growing over his ears.

 He was very excited about getting his hair cut

 He actually did really well, I told Ray she needed one of those little cars and TVs, but she's so good she didn't even need it!

 Check out those spikes

 All done! Handsome as ever :-)

NYE- a little rowdy

I have to start this post by saying how wonderful and amazing my parents are.  My sister was having a small get together at their house so her kids were going to my parents house.  Being that all our other babysitters are in their 20s it was a little hard to find someone willing to come sit at our house. Seeing that all our kids are little and crazy it would be a bit much to send all 5 over for the whole night. My dad came over to watch our kids so that we could go too!  The girls thought it was pretty cool that papa came to babysit. Elliott told me "Papa let us have popcorn on the couch because he didn't know the rules." Um yeah E- but you did....Nice huh? Its whatev apparently daddy lets them eat popcorn on the couch too.  Maybe he doesn't know the rules either ;-)

So we show up at the time we said we would. Because we're nothing if not on time and found an empty house.  I gave my sister a lot of lip about that.  Chris and I settled on the porch for a bit to wait for them to get back from dinner.  I decided I needed some pictures of our wait so I could call her out on our blog.

We decided to do a shout out to Berk with our pirate faces

 My brother and sister- the two coolest kids I know

 My little sweater thing kept creeping up toward my neck so Amanda thought we should try to tape it.

 She got a little out of hand with the tape..... Maybe Amanda and I got a little out of control...... its well deserved though!  Its been a year and a half of back to back pregnancies.  Its the first time we've really gotten to relax together with no kids around!

 Hanging out on the patio

 The guys.  Were unable to squeeze together for a picture. We asked Josh to get on Chris's lap and Aaron to get on Brads but for some reason they wouldn't.

 I got a good angle and of course Chris had to pull out the pirate face

 The end of the night, I sure didn't want to go.  Bless my husband for dealing with Tina!
