Our New Identities

For now on please refer to us as The Party of Five. Members of The Party of Five are as follows:

D.J. and Peaches, Lil' E, Doble (Spanish word for Double), Razy

This just in D.J. now wants his name changed to J Body. From now on we will refer to him as that, but for previous posts just know that D.J. and J Body are the same person. I know confusing.

Pretty in Pink and Bows

Let me just tell you that I LOVE having a little girl to dress up. Boys are fun, but in a different way. There is something about having a little girl around the house. I love the pink, the bows, the flowers, and everything else that comes along with a little girl. The old adage...Girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice is so true. Our little Razy is too sweet. She has been such a joy to have. When I start to feel overwhelmed or stressed out I just have to look at her big blue eyes and her contagious smile and feel better. Her big brothers love her so much and are so good with her. It is so fun to see Doble grab a burp rag and try wiping up her spit up. Lil' E is always by her side giving her kisses and trying to get her to laugh or smile at him. It is so neat to see D.J. with all the kids. Seeing him hold each of them when they were infants has been really special, but there is something a little different with Razy. It is like she can make her Daddy melt. She has him hooked. She has us ALL hooked.

I know all these pictures look alike, but we took some pictures to send to Daddy at work so he could see Razy's new bow that Mommy had made. We couldn't decide which one to put, so we chose a bunch. Hey it's our page so why not?

BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS!

Baby's First Christmas is so much fun. Starting with Lil' E we took his picture in his Santa suit. Doble was next and then of course Razy needed one as well. Their first ornament is a picture of them in their Santa suits on their first Christmas. It is fun to see how each of them look. This year Lil' E got a kick out of seeing himself as a baby in a Santa suit. Here is a picture of each of the kids on their first christmas.

Santa Razy please leave a present under the tree for me...

Merry Christmas!

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Clause is coming to town.!

Only one more week and the big man himself will be making his way to visit good little boys and girls (Have you yourself been naughty or nice?) This year none of the kids were afraid of Santa. Lil' E had no problem telling Santa that he wanted James for Christmas and Doble wanted Thomas. Doble jumped right on Santa's lap and said, "choo choo". If Santa holds up his end of the deal this year, it will be a Thomas the Train Christmas. The boys are so into Thomas (Doble especially). Everything down to the wrapping paper is Thomas. It is fun seeing the kids get so excited for Christmas and Lil' E is now at the age where we can teach him that Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth. At first he thought it was Santa's Birthday, but now he is able to tell us that on Christmas is Jesus' Birthday.

We hope that you and your family have
A Very Merry Christmas and A Happy and Healthy New Year!

Finally Some Family Pictures!

Life has been pretty busy lately with Christmas approaching. Everyone has asked why I haven't posted a new blog in awhile. Well I have taken on many new projects. I just finished making each of the kids their own stockings. I am making blankets for the boys with matching pajama bottoms and pillow cases. My dad asked me to put together the Ward Christmas Program for Sunday. So with all those projects plus the normal everyday things that a mother of three does, blogging just hasn't been my number one priority (so get off my back Amy :p). However, we were able to manage to get some family pictures taken. I have decided that the days of everyone looking at the camera are long gone. It is too hard with three kids to make sure EVERYONE is looking AND smiling. We were able to get a few that turned out okay.

I couldn't decide which one to put in so you get the honor of seeing them both.

These are a few of my favorite things...
