Happy Holidays!

Life has been so crazy the last month!  Chads back has been out for almost a month now so I've not had much time to sit and blog!  Ah!  Here's a quick recap through pictures =)

Thanksgiving!

Christmas time!

Santa visited Daycare!

Santa also visited Papa and Nana's!

Visiting in town!

Christmas Eve with our little family unit!

Taco's are our annual tradition!

Christmas Eve box is also a fun tradition!

The stockings were hung with care!

We spent the evening looking at Christmas lights and even had someone pay for our turn! 

So we payed it forward and payed for the next two vehicles.  

Such a blessed evening!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season this year!  

We were blessed to spend our 2nd holiday season with our little P man.  

Enjoy!

meet Murphy

We added another family member!  

July 1 we got to bring home Murphy.  

He's a lab.  

He has been pretty laid back and an amazing puppy comparatively. 

P and him get along fairly well too (trouble 1 and 2).

He keeps me almost as busy as P does!

and because of that I don't have many pictures for the month of July since Murphy has started living with us.

See, it took many takes (much more than this) to get a decent picture of all three.

Houseful!

We went to Montana to celebrate Lizzie's first birthday and then my sister and her kiddos came to stay with us from Monday-Friday!  It was bittersweet.  They are moving to North Carolina in about a month and it'll be a long time before we are reunited again with the kids.  It was nice to be able to spend the week with them;  Her husband was in NC house hunting so we didn't get to spend time with him though.

E wasn't too sure about P to start out with...but I think they were becoming buds by Friday.

L was great with P!

and P loved them both!

We didn't really take too many pictures while they were here, and we should have taken more *kicking myself trust me* but many memories were made and I am so happy that they were able to spend some time with us before their big move.
