Thanksgiving

I feel so behind in so many things but decided to just plunge in and try and get caught up with blogging.  I'm not awesome at journal keeping so must keep this up so I can at least look back and see what we were doing at a certain time.  I decided the other day to sit and make a master list of the all the things I want to do to feel more organized.  I felt really good after making the list, it let my brain rest from trying to remember everything.  It worked for about a day and then I started feeling stressed again about it all.  I shouldn't be surprised by feeling this way the entire year after having a baby I feel like I can't get a hold of things, I know it will pass but still makes me crazy.  Anyway thought I would post a few pictures from Thanksgiving.  I'm missing some pictures that I saw on Lainey's blog here.

Getting to do some early Christmas traditions.  Making gingerbread men with Grandma.

We had a lovely time and were glad we were able to go and visit.  Lyssie unfortunately threw up on the plane about 15 minutes before we got off but luckily it went into the appropriate "barf bag."  She continued to be sick on the way home poor girl.  I only bring this up because now whenever anyone mentions being sick she says "I got sick on the airplane" and continues to talk about it.

November

Some fun in the rain.  Little did we know looking back, that the few days of rain we got then was about all we have gotten since and now its nearing the end of Janurary.

 I just love green rain boots or wellies just for English sake

My super helper pushed our little guy around when he was being rather fussy during dinner.  She came up with using the stroller and roller skates.  Might as well make it fun :)

 Baby's first food, he is so lucky to have awesome sisters who want to feed him

Lyssie's Birthday

She's 3!!
Way back in November this little fire cracker turned three.  Some favorites are wearing this BYU shirt or her cougar shirt as she calls it.  She mostly likes to wear navy blue shirts with pink shorts.  She likes granola bars and fruit snacks.  She likes all kids of soup.  Her favorite game is freeze tag.  Favorite animal is a lion.  She likes playing with her toys and friends.  She likes going to "mommy preschool"  a co-op I'm doing with friends.  Her favorite songs are "I am a Child of God and I am like a Star"  she especially likes to sing in church when no one else is :)  Her favorite book at the present moment is Tabby McTat but she calls it The Cat and the Hat.  Her favorite book(s) tends to change and then we have to read whatever it is every night for months.  Lyssie is a fun girl who is full of energy and spunk.  She is independent and likes to do things herself.  She has stretched us as parents and forced us to think outside of our own box.  We love her dearly.  Thanks Lyssie for making us smile.
