Life

What we were up to during the holidays:

For Thanksgiving we were able to go to Utah and be with all the Jackmans.  We had a great time - eating, socializing, going bowling, and building gingerbread houses.

Back at home we got a christmas tree to set up in our home

 Some of our December activities included playing in the snow, decorating sugar cookies, and building a snow man.

This was our first Christmas that we didn't go travel to see family, we were all by ourselves for the Holiday. But we tried to have a great day anyways. The boys got more train tracks, a lego castle thing (a last minute DI find), and lots of other great stuff. 

 I like this picture, even though it is blurry - Levi is making Nathan smile. 

 We actually all ended up getting pretty sick later in the day on Christmas and spent the rest of the 3 days that Brad had off of work lying around the house with zero energy.  I had planned to go do fun family activities those days, but instead we worked on a 550 piece puzzle at home.  It took us all the days, but we finally finished it. 

 Over New Years we went to Island Park to spend with the Reeds.  We went sledding, snowmobiling, had a fire down on the lake, and just had a ton of fun!

Nathan keeps growing up and getting more fun each day.  The boys love that they can get him to smile and laugh. These pictures are all my attempts at getting him to smile for the camera. 

 He LOVES his older brothers.

And here he is starting to grab and hold toys. 

He has been a pretty calm baby recently. When he was younger he seemed very fussy to me. It will be interesting to see what personality is hidden inside this little body.  We are slowly figuring life out with 3 kids, it is very crazy at times. I have to focus on making one and one time with each of the kids, even if it's just holding and smiling at Nathan.  But I do love my three boys!
