Christmas Catch Up and 18 weeks

Christmas was a lot of fun this year! It is every year but the boys actually got into it this year. We made Santa Gingerbread Man cookies and I think this started a yearly tradition with the boys and I. It was so much fun and I had the easiest recipe for them. The boys really got into helping me:)

Mixing the batter.

Rolling the dough.

Cutting them out.

Placing them on a baking sheet.

And of course the funnest part DECORATING them!!!

Grady ate most of his decorations.

The Perfect Gingerbread man!

I think we left Santa about 18 cookies and this is what was left!

Christmas morning the boys woke up to their Santa gifts



A tractor for Briggs

A cool trike for Grady

We had a GREAT Christmas and were given WAY too much gifts!!











I know I have skipped a couple of weeks but we have been busy! We find out on the 21 what we are having!! I really think it is another boy! We have our names picked out too! So excited!

I have seen several bloggers do a post each week about their pregnancy and so I thought I would start! I don't know how long I will keep up but I will try every week to do so:)

Long Time, No Blog

Hi. Remember me? I sort have been a little busy between being sick and traveling to Amarillo to see my little nephew make his debut into this world. No excuse, I know but still. I am almost 14 weeks pregnant and I am feeling SO good! I was sick with the boys for 22 weeks straight so this pregnancy has been great! In November I had a shower for my SIL, Kyla and her baby Owen. It turned out so good and we had a GREAT turnout! I am a little late posting but at least I am getting them up now:) This was part of the sign in table.

The sign in table.These cookies were so GOOD!!!!! I ordered these from a lady here in Sunray who does a fabulous job!

There was a "mini" candy bar around the table.

Kyla had to have a c-section because Owen was breech. She did amazing and little Owen is great too. He weighed 6lbs. 8oz. 19in. long. He has A LOT of dark hair and looks just like his Daddy! The Purl family of 3 is doing great and we are so glad Owen Beck is here:)

Grady's Got News!!

He's going to be a BIG brother!!!!!! June 14th!

Trick or Treat

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! The boys had fun Trick or Treating and eating all of their candy. Briggs was on a sugar high and Grady had a sick stomach. I can't believe October has come and gone already!!! Can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!

Teen Wolf:)

I think Grady had about 5 succers.
