2018! What a great year!!!

2018 was a great year for us!!!
we spent lots of our time doing what we love.
being outside and gardening, camping, swimming!
Some big highlights were going to the Taylor Swift concert and going to kauai!!!
Its been a fun year watching both my boys grow and play!
Out of all the things i've done this year being with my boys and being present has been my very favorite!!!
Can't wait for 2019 and see what happens there!! 

Emmett First Year In Video!

my sweet angel baby emmett. 

somehow this video was a year but it felt like 3 days.
I made a video like this with andrew and now emmett and i'm not going to admit how many times i've watched my babies grow up in these videos.
I will treasure these forever.

Decorating the Christmas tree!

Every year we make a video of us decorating the christmas tree and it has been such a sweet thing to watch every year! We started doing this tradition when andrew was 9 months old! 

Going back and watching that first one of when he was so so so little just melts and breaks my mama heart! Even last years video of when emmett was just a tiny little newborn!
I look at our christmas tree and hope to have it a little nicer one day but for now this is how it is..
little emmett takes down all the decorations on the bottom and pulls at the ribbon.. 

Love this little crew of mine and so happy for the holiday season!

I believe that in the first year of a baby's life we notice each milestone, like celebrating each month mark so when there first birthday comes its not so hard on us moms. ha! 

I tell brandon that I might just keep having babies because they grow up so dang fast and I just don't think i'll ever be ready to not have a tiny little human again.
