Guess who....

Guess who's belly button fell off, so how he can wear real clothes!! :)

LUKE!

He's thrilled about the whole thing :)

These are a couple weeks old now, but I still needed to add them for posterity!  I just LOVE LOVE this little face!!  He is now 4 weeks old and is starting to smile....oh.my.goodness!  SOOO CUTE

2 weeks

Me and Luke took a month off of church, and on our two week mark, we did a little photo shoot at home.....

i should have been SLEEPING....buuut...oh well :)

So here's a little baby luke fix for you! 

2 week old Luke

little helpers

On one of the nice days before it snowed again, the kids helped me outside.

This was luke's first time playing outside. He helped me fill up the firewood cart..

he checked out the sky and trees

He didn't even mind the pink bib I accidently left on him

Lucy helped bring wood from the shed

then she taught macy the ropes and how to get around the wood shed

"and watch out for the gas can...." she's saying :)

Lucy is an awesome helper these days. This is how she puts away the silverware...

She knows where everything goes....then she stands on the counter and puts away the dishes I hand her from the dishwasher!!! 

You couldn't hire help this cute anywhere :)

hands

Scott got to pour a floor in our little shop, so we decided to let the kids leave their marks...

Macy, not sure what's happening to her..

 ta-da!

Cute little hands!!  I almost brought Luke out to do his hand....but.....this was RIGHT after he was born, and it was COLD outside :)

Let Christmas Begin!!

The day after Thanksgiving, we always go get our tree!  I LOVE black friday!! :)

macy was a trooper out in the cold!

Lane picked a great tree this year!

cute Lucy

Dragging the tree up the hill!

the onlookers!

Going back across our bridge to the backyard!

Lane's pretty strong to be able to help carry the tree now!

The snow we had all melted, and it was actually somewhat warm out!!  So we played outside for a little bit.  This is our "finished" fort!  There are two slides, swings, a fort, a pirate deck and a swinging bridge!  Next year we'll put siding and windows on the fort part.....awesome!!

Playing on the trampoline!

The Christmas decorating didn't quite get done on Friday, I'm waiting till Lane goes back to school on monday, and the girls to take their naps to finish :) BUT the kids did decorate the tree, and it looks beautiful!! :)

First Day of Kindergarten

Lane started Kindergarten this year!!!! crazy!   He was pretty excited about his first day of school!   But he was NOT excited about taking any pictures :)

This is all I got!!

Cutie!

Lane especially did not want any pictures in front of his classroom!! :)  This was pretty much how the morning looked.  Me trying to convince him to take a picture,....AND to go into his class.  It was pretty funny walking down the kindergarten hallway.....this scene was re-enacted by about a dozen or more moms of Boys who did NOT want pictures....OR to go into their class :)

We finally did go in, and got his all settled at his desk, and they had some toys to play with before the bell rang! SCORE!

The girls missed their big brother ALLL day!  It was fun to go pick him up, they were SO excited to see him!  He came home and played a game with Lucy.  What a sweet big brother!
