Giggles, its all about the giggles

I think Baby giggles are the best thing ever. I live for the days when i hear my kids giggle so hard they cant catch their breath. It makes me a very happy mommy! Well last night Chance had Bailee going pretty good and i had to video it!I absolutely love Bailee giggles!!!! Today was a pretty rough day with the kids and then i watched this and smiled from ear to ear. Tender mercies:)

Family Pictures!

I was so excited to get our pictures done this year because my kids are getting so big i feel like i need to document every second. Family pictures are always stressful for me because i freakout about our outfits. They always turn out cute thank goodness!!

 I liked the way these turned out!

 I love this one because it shows how content my kiddos are with their mommy:)

 Oh that sweet Blake of mine. We did not ask him to do this. He kissed me just because he wanted to!

 I dont think they look alike at all. But they sure are the cutest

 Daddy and his crazies. I am so in love with this picture. They look so good

 My happy girl! She was a butt the whole time but i am so glad our photographer captured these sweet moments

 Not a huge fan of this one.

 I love these steps. They are so unique and awesome! I wished Bailee would have smiled in some of our family ones

 This little princess is is feisty, sassy, happy, funny, beautiful, loving, sweet, ACTIVE and perfect just the way she is! I always say how crazy she is and active and sassy but i seriously would not have it any other way. She is the best. I love when she wakes up in the morning and cuddles with me. I love that she is so full of personality and always keeps me going. Yes her terrible twos i just know are going to be awful, but it will be worth it. I love my Bailee girl, Bay, Prinicess, Princess bailee girl, chub a flub(chance), Little butt and sweet girl.

This handsome boy is smart, funny, a good big brother, sweet, lovey, playful, athletic, spiritual, an out of the box thinker, a talker and the best son a kid could ask for. Blake is seriously the sweetest. He tells me he loves me more times in a day than i can even count. He loves Bailee more than anything and LOVES to be lovey. He is so smart on many levels. He blows my mind every day with the things he does and says.  But in turn, he goes through phases that 4 and 5 year olds are going through like talking back and manipulating. But i love it!! well not that part, but i love how smart he is

I cant believe how opposite these two are. I mean in every single way possible. I love love love it! Blake is so boy and Bailee is so girl. Its so fun

 I LOVE THIS ONE!!!

 Me and my lover! I love this one!

 This is one of my favorite ones!

I love my cute family and love documenting these precious moments

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving this year was great! We were not able to go anywhere so we stayed home and made everything ourselves. It was so nice and relaxing.

 Oh my gosh he is so handsome. Blake was excited about turkey day until he found out what we would be eating. Blake still is the pickyiest eater anyone has ever known.

 My cute little princess just melts my heart. She seriously is so much fun!

 We woke up and i made homemade pumpkin pancakes, bacon and homemade whipped cream. It was delicious!  Then for a snack i made the kids fruit turkeys!

 Blake thought it was the coolest thing ever!!!!! Look at those plates, they each almost ate the whole thing!

 Me and Chances snack:)

 Chances started marinating the turkey 24 hours before. He mixed a ton of spices together, unfolded the skin and basted the whole thing and then basted the whole outside. It was sooooo amazing!!!!

 The before! Doesnt that look so delicious??

 While i cooked, Chance and the kids made little turkeys:) And right before that we went swimming. Yep swimming outside on thanksgiving!

 Oh my gosh look a that turkey.

 I made homemade stuffing, yams, mashed potatos, homemade gravy and homemade whipped creams. I was pretty proud of myself. The whole dinner was seriously amazing

 Oh this little porker was in heaven. She loved every single thing we gave her. Stuffing was her favorite. Blake ate nothing...... of course. Actually he did eat stuffing which i was shocked about!

 I started a new tradition. On Thanksgiving night they each get to open their Christmas jammies that they get to wear until Christmas! I think it is the perfect start to a wonderful Christmas season

 I love their jammies this year. Blake is all about "Charlie" Our elf on the shelf, so these are perfect. Blake loves minnie and got so excited

Finished up the night with some yummy pumpkin pie and egg nog:)

Blake is 3 and Bailee is 15 months

Here is just a little update on us!

 I love my kids. I dont think i could ever say it enough!!!

 Such a cheesy little princess

 Blake right now is going through a rough phase. He is starting to talk back and not listen. Oh my gosh it makes my blood boil. But look how cute he is! Heavenly Father definitely gives me tender mercies throughout the day to get through.

 This little miss is also going through a naughty phase. Yes my life is chaos right now. Bailee has started throwing herself on the floor crying and rolling around. HAHAHA. Sometimes i seriously just sit back and laugh because its like something you see in a movie.

 Thank goodness they are so sweet and loving sometimes or i would trade them haha just kidding i love them too much!

 We are missing my sister Macy like crazy! Man sometimes i really just want to pick up the phone and call her!

 awwwww This is rare but i love it! They really love each other. They bug each other like crazy but they are always so excited to see each other in the morning. Seriously they jump out of my arms and run and hug each other. It is so amazing! Plus they make each other laugh so much and the smallest thing. Bailee thinks Blake walks on water. Blake is so in love with Bailee that he never leaves her alone. HAHA. So she never wants him touching her hahah. Blake is soooooo his dad and Bailee is sooooo me! I love it!

 My brother came in to town a few weeks ago and it was sooooo nice to see him. I miss him so much. We are so close so it is really hard not having him here.

 Bailee, for some reason, had a really hard time with him.

 Too cute! I love that Bailee has hair now!!!!!!!! Oh i am on cloud nine getting to do her hair everyday.

 Silly boys

 Blake got to start a 7 week basketball class. He loves it. It makes him feel so big. I love this little basketball player. He had basketball today and didnt even want to go in because he didnt have his basketball shirt on haha! He said that his teacher wasnt going to know that he is a basketballer hahaha! Oh that just kills me.

All ready for church

Life is definitely crazy right now. Its hard not having much to do because we still dont know very many people. But we find things to do and keep busy pretty well. I also have gotten a job as a nanny so i can help financially. it is actually so awesome. I was really nervous since i now have my own kids i thought i would be overwhelmed, but it awesome and good money so i am very happy.
