Tis the Season.....

Our first Christmas at home
Our baby is 7 months old already

Marshall just wanted to eat the wrapping paper!

Burkley's cast was disguised pretty well with his new pj's

Burkley was in heaven with his new tractor and tool set!

Memorable Christmas?

Last Wed. as I was trying to fix my Christmas lights outside Burkley had an accident and broke his leg! Being that he is such a touch kid I knew something was really wrong after 30 mins of him still saying it hurt. So off to the urgent care we went w/ Marshall in tow. Both bones were broken (or bowed, which means bent but they still consider it a fracture) and a temp. splint was put on him. The next day a fiberglass cast was put on that stopped just under his knee. That afternoon I took Marshall to his 6 month appt. and returned to find Burkley missing some toes or at least that's what it looked like. He pulled his foot up into the cast and eventually it came off completely! The Dr.'s office was already closed so for the whole weekend he crawled around w/ nothing on it - thank goodness for Motrin! Now he has a lovely cast all the way up to his thigh and he isn't really loving it. Thank goodness his follow up is only 3 1/2 wks away. It's both kind of sad and funny to watch him crawl around and drag his leg behind him because it doesn't bend. My poor boy!

The Big Reveal! FINALLY!!

BEFORE: Plain boring tan walls, no curtains, tired bedding, cheap, little night stands, NO PERSONALITY!!

AFTER: Fun vinyl lettering w/ pictures of my sweet babies, fun stripes, floating night stands, great curtains (made by my awesome mom!), comfy bedding and wall mounted lamps. FUN & COZY!!!!!

I am FINALLY done with my master bedroom makeover! I have been planning it for months now and got it all put together one weekend when Kenny was gone hunting. My parents and I worked tiredlessly all day and they didn't end up leaving until 11:30pm that night! Kenny was so shocked and said he felt like he was in a hotel suite, which was exactly what I was going for. I HATED my bedroom before and didn't want to be in there very badly. My room used to be a "catch all" for the rest of the house but not anymore! Now I love walking into it and I keep it picked up because I always want it to look perfect!

Update.......

Our first trip to see Santa. Marshall broke out in tears as soon as I placed him on Santa's lap and Burkley didn't know what to think. Santa looks good though.
Watching cartoons at Gma & Gpa Secrists' in Heber over Thanksgiving. Burkley will be 2 in January and loves to do anything with Daddy and be outside. He is getting braver and braver when it comes to playing at the parks and going down the big slides.

Marshall is 6 months old now and is such a happy baby! He sat up for the first time last week and will soon be scooting and crawling.

We tried rice cereal and he was totally disgusted, we'll have to try again.

My boys playing together peacefully - I wonder how long this will last?
