We spent the weekend of Christmas at my parents!

Enoch kept insisting that the big-bellied STAR WARS character was MOMMY!

It was a STAR WARS Christmas – AGAIN!

Thankfully – we have awesome families! It usually works out that we spend Christmas Eve day with Jared’s parents!

Warm temperatures and a quick walk next door!

That little pumpkin – he’s adorable!

We had a great Christmas! Relaxing and full of family!

The past THREE years of Christmas!

We had a joint party for Enoch & Jack at my parents – so my friend Missy and I decided to have a joint party for our boys at the local Y!

It’s a struggle to put down the camera and enjoy the moments – but I make sure to do it!!

A dairy-free puppy cake – THE BEST!

Enoch & Aiden – we love you boys SO VERY MUCH!

We had a FUN summer!

Here’s a quick glance at a few days!

E is a dinosaur whisperer!

We are very fortunate to have grandparents close by!

I love watching my dad interact with the boys!  Our parents make the BEST grandparents! Brings joy to my heart!

Jared’s grandparents were home over the summer – and the boys LOVED spending time with them!

Our friend Megan came over and snapped a few photos for us! PRICELESS!

They are the sweetest boys! Thank you SO much Megan!

This might be Enoch’s favorite activity at Grandma’s house!

OH MY HEART!

He is a happy guy!

We are very thankful for the time we get to spend with family!

Again – I’m really behind – but here’s Enoch at 21 months!

That little face – while I’m in the day-to-day – I don’t think my kids have squishy chub – but then I look back and see it!

And Fitzy – he’s so ADORABLE! When I tell him that – he says – NO! I’m serious.

That little blonde hair – it’s gone now that winter is here. And that little face. He’s becoming more of a boy and less of a little guy.

THOSE FACES! One of my favorite pictures!

Those boys – BEAUTIFUL!

Fitzgerald started preschool this year! He was SO VERY excited!

For the past two years – Fitzy has said YOU CAN DO IT & I’M PROUD OF YOU to Jared EVERY SINGLE MORNING!

Jared said it to Fitzy this time!

He LOVES Star Wars! He wants to be a chef and he LOVES LOVES LOVES pizza!

Although – Papa V’s garlic wings are his current favorite! And his favorite STAR WARS is FORCE AWAKENS!

That’s a picture of his preschool picture! He looks like my brother here!

He’s such a sweet boy! He can write his name and his numbers – all of them!

Although – I personally am a fan of play and imagination over learning all the stuff!

He sings about how much he loves Jesus and how Jesus loves us. He loves his friends.

He picks out little bugs for his homework prizes. And then he leaves them in my purse. In my chair. In the bathroom.

He’s a gem!

You know by now – we live next door to Jared’s parents – and the boys LOVE it!

Brenda wanted some fall pictures with her sweet hubby!

Isn’t he ADORABLE!?!

The apples were begging to be photographed!

This fall was beautiful and lasted longer than usual – no complaining here!

My sister and my friend Ericka give me a hard time about counting the months of my children. I say HUSH!

Look at that little face!

He LOVES to howl like a wolf!

Enoch – you are such a dear sweet boy! WE LOVE YOU!

Jack Jack is 9 months old! (well – he WAS! I’m WAY behind on blogging!)

But first – some Barden boys! That Fitzy loves his Sammy – she’s his favorite girl!

He loves his Jack Sparrow guy too!

I took that same shot of my boys – in the same hat and outfit – at the same age!

SWEET BOYS!

OH MY HEART!

OH! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

SO SWEET!!

Jack Jack – you are SO LOVED! I wish we lived closer! I would squish your face ALL THE TIME!
