Wintertime with the crazy boys!

This was at one of Jay's football games. Eli joined the cheerleaders...haha!

Look at him, right behind the girl in the pink...he was so proud to be with all the girls!

Jay loves cuddling with Gavin!  Isn't he so cute with that bald head and big eyes?!  He reminds me so much of the boys.

Eli's first time bowling...he was serious.

Hoping for a strike

Flag football trophy night

Here is my big 3 year old on his birthday!  We stopped by for frozen yogurt after school. He is saying, "Cheeeeeze"

Granny sent him a cool bday card that turned into a hat. He loved it!  (notice his shirt, we are getting him ready for big bro status!)

Singing Happy Birthday!

Eli was impressed and keeps asking to have another birthday party. He also wants to know when "that man is going to bring his bounce house back"...

Jay blew out the candle but, luckily, Eli didn't notice!

Taking his new toy with him to run errands later.

Jay and Max waiting to ride the Polar Express at the Agirama...they are best buds!

This is the first year Eli sat in Santa's lap...willingly anyway. He was pretty excited.

Jay asked for a "real bow and arrow", Eli asked for a boat

Wrestling match with Daddy

Look at Eli taking charge!

Christmas morning!  Eli got a boat!  He was so happy.

We are still practicing with the tricycle but he will catch on soon!

And Jay got his bow and arrow!  See his cool camo? Mama Ross sewed these for both boys from scratch. She is so talented!  They have worn them almost every day since!

Eli found doughnuts in his stocking and stopped for breakfast in the new boat.

Trying out his scooter...it was camo too...the theme for Jay's Christmas this year!

Trying for a cute picture

There they are....so sweet!

Police officer Eli going out on the town!

Here is Wes' current project. A fort for the kids!

Handsome boys at Wild Adventures!

Smile!

Gracie, Gavin, Ashley, and Brandi (Ashley's sister) came with us!  So much fun with cousins!

Mimi and Gavin on the Merry Go Round...see sweet Gracie smiling in the back!

Jay rode with Gracie to make sure she didn't jump out! She did great though!

Riding choo choo

Jay loved feeding the birds. I didn't think he'd ever come out of there!

Brandi was a great sport with him. We love hanging out with her!

Baby girl's profile at 36 weeks.She is growing and running out of room fast! I go back to the doctor on Wed to check to see if she has dropped more. She is still a little high so we need her to drop more before we start talking about inducing. We don't want her to get too big in there though...she seems less concerned than the boys did about preparing for her exit!

More of the fort. Wes doesn't go small. It comes with two bridges!

It will be done just in time for the boys to go out and play while I am trying to keep the house quiet with the baby!

Jay is so excited!

38 weeks....I am about to pop!

Showing off his cool vest from Granny Curry. He picked this out so he could have a hunting vest to wear over his Real Tree camo outfit.

Wes needed new tires last week...a fortunate event for the fort design. Eli says they are to dangerous and won't climb up. Jay is convinced that his dad is a genius.

Here it is with the roof and siding almost completed. We got all of the wood from the Ross' old deck and pine tree scraps. I love how it is turning out!

We burned over 40 Christmas trees with some friends the other night. It was so fun!  The men were more impressed with the fire than the kids. They just ran around scaring each other in the dark while Wes and Paul played in the fire.
