I caught this little stinker eating nutella straight out of the jar.
But he was pretty happy with himself!
Claire is the biggest fan of selfies I know! She loves a good photo of us together.
Preston for his birthday received birthday cards from all of the members of his class. It was pretty hysterical reading all of the cards from the girls. Half of them said I like you, etc. But this one was awesome with the picture of him putting his arm around her. First grade people!
For his birthday he got to go to the BYU basketball game with Ryan and Carter.
Cougar tails are the bomb! I also love that he wanted to wear his birthday crown for the whole day. He must be a birthday diva just like his mama! haha
A picture of my cute seven year old the morning of his actual birthday. Love my Prestopea.
He got this awesome lego set that Carter "helped" him put together (or put it together all by himself while Preston watched) but that is what big brothers are for right?!
We took him out to the Provo beach resort to play arcade games, go in the fun play area, and get fun prizes with your tickets. We also went to Malawi's pizza next door to celebrate.
After we got home we all were pretty tired but couldn't forget the cake! I can't believe this kid is 7! He has brought so much joy and happiness to our family. He is such an easy kid.
He couldn't be happier! He has two green dinosaurs his favorite color (one from Aunt Mellie on the right and one he won from the arcade games on the left). Happy birthday Preston!!
This boy enjoys his spaghetti. He is such a good eater and will eat almost anything I put in front of him.
My cute girl!
One night Hudson was having a rough night and woke up at 4 am and wouldn't go back to sleep. None of my kids slept well when we lived in the townhome. I think it was how close we were to the train, it was SOOO loud!! Anyway, I brought him into bed with me and he fell asleep right away. I just had to capture his cuteness and express my gratitude for my darling baby. I am so grateful to be his mom.
He loves his sister Minnie mouse chair. He wants to sit in it whenever possible.
Preston's turn to go to a BYU football game. His game was freezing!! He had full snow gear on!
Enjoying the food just like his older brother did!
We finally got most of the windows and our front door. They also poured our porch and driveway. After this not alot happened for weeks and weeks!! It was so frustrating. Glad it's over now!
Bathtime!!
Rubbing my feet! I loved it!
Little cuties hanging out in the foyer at church.
I got to help out in Preston's class for Thanksgiving feast. Kids are so funny! I had like 5 stories to tell James that were hilarious when I got home.
Took the older 3 to get ice cream one night at Thanksgiving point. I love this of the three of them.
Before Thanksgiving, we called up my grandpa Stephenson and took him out to lunch. He is such a great person and I'm so lucky to still have him in my life. He's 87 and still super healthy and one of the smartest people I know, if not the smartest!
We changed tradition this year and just had Thanksgiving with my immediate family. It was so awesome! We had actual plates and plenty of leftovers. We were in charge of the turkey and made some yummy lemon crunch pies too.
Thanksgiving always makes everyone super sleepy.
James included. He woke up at 4 am to go workout and also cooked all morning. He was wiped out! This was at about 7:30 pm.
Things got kicked off for Christmas traditions when Buddy the elf came back to hang out with our family. He also brought advent calendars which my kids also love.
Happy kiddos to see their favorite elf! Let the Christmas fun begin!!
