Luke's newborn pics

A big thanks to my sister for helping me get these newborn pictures taken and finished. We totally took them at my house and they turned out so stinking cute. We should take up photography! My little Luke is the first baby I have actually taken newborn pictures. I was always so scared that they were so little I never did it. But besides the not being asleep, being wide eyed, and peeing all over jamie's leg and a little bit on Kinley we did pretty good. So fun !!! Thanks jam for making a special trip down to see the little guy and spend some good quality sister time was so what I needed!!! Also thanks for editing these to perfection!

christmas

Christmas Eve the kids got to dress up at the Hughes Family Party. Max was so excited he got to be the cow and Kinley too was the other cute little cow.

She wanted to play with baby Jesus.

She wanted this cow off after two minutes but she kept it on.

I tried to get a cute picture of my family in front of the tree, but my husband was helping cook and as you can see they were not digging it very well. So this is the beautiful pic we got:)

What a stinker. She looked so cute she even let me curl her hair and put a bow in. But she didn't want to model it for us.

Max got this new Four wheeler from Santa and was so excited. He couldn't wait to get on and ride. So we took him up to the race track and turned him loose. He was a natural. He wasn't worried for a second. Later mom and off he went!

Kinley was so excited to go on it too. How cute my little riders. It was so cute watching him ride and having them so excited.

Dad taking kinley on her first ride on the little wheeler. Look at her hair. She loved it.

I love this picture so much. My dad running next to Max as he just took the curve like a champ. He was killing that track taking the little jumps and all. Hope he doesn't want to ride like a crazy man. He had one little scare coming down a jump he turned off and was going throughout the bushes but held on. After they taught him to let off the gas a little when going down he was good.

Grandma checking out how awesome Max thought that was.

Love this picture too. What a cutie pie. Man and you have got to love the hair. Need i saw more.

Gramps and Kinley walking around trying to chase Max on the wheeler.

I'm afraid she is going to want to ride too.

Holiday randoms

Thanksgiving

We went to Utah for Thanksgiving this year and here are the kiddos excited to eat.

They just really couldn't wait to go out and play. Having fun on the swing set.

What cute cousins. Easton and Max are such good little buddies. They have so much fun together. Max has turned easton into a star wars geek just like him;)

The tramp was the all time favorite, they love to run around the outside edge and chase each other around till they tag the other.

Maybe shooting the pop cans with Grandpa Lee was the favorite. My little guy loves to go shooting.

Me and my lovely sister kinda helping out in the kitchen. Thanks to our beautiful mother who I did not a get a picture of, made it possible for us to have a wonderful Thanksgiving feast!

The dad and babes wiped right out taking the usual Thanksgiving nap after stuffing their bellies.

These to peas in a pod. They are both giving a scowl as they manage to keep drinking their juice. The have the same little personality it is so funny. They loved hanging out together watching movies. They both love toy story and Buzz.

Christmas tree farm

I actually found the tree this year and dad gave it the "OK"

Mom and Dad what cute grandparents they are. Love you guys thanks for the fun looking for trees. Brought back so many fun memories of when I was a kid.

Max got to make the first cut with dads knife. He thought that was so super duperty cool!!!!

The girls standing in the sun so we didn't get cold. My two favorite girls!!!

My little polka dot, silly bug, shnook-um pie, honey bun, cuddle bug, lovely dove, sweetie pie,

darling... darling.... darling.... little girl!

Searching up and down, up and down trying to find "the" tree. Dads line, " You will just know right when you see it"

Max was loving this idea of looking for the perfect tree. He liked this one behind him. Just his size. What a stud! Love my kids so much they make my life so happy.

Kinley walked around the whole tree farm. She wouldn't let anyone hold her she wanted to walk through all the dirt and weeds. She was having a blast.

My little fam all bundles up to go pick out a tree for Grandma and Grandpa!!!

fun all around!!

Picking our X-mas tree!!!!

This year at Thanksgiving we got to go with my parents and search for a Christmas tree at the tree farm. We walked up and down and looked and looked. Finally we found one I found it and dad approved!!! The kids had a blast searching for the tree. Max got to use Rusty's knife and make the first cut. He thought it was so cool. So when we got home I had the fever for a real Christmas tree. I checked the ones out at Walmart and they were no good. So Rusty said to check Ace. Oh my beautiful trees!!!!! They were all absolutely perfect, green, full and beautiful.

So we got one. Here is Kinley eating her ice cream watching daddy get the tree ready.

CHEESE!!!!

Rusty swearing at the tree cause it had a rod all the way up the trunk!!!!

He was glad I wanted a real tree:)

And my darling real tree. I love it so much and it smells so good!

The kids with there lists to send to santa. They are getting so big.

Look my baby is a toddler now!

Surprise Grandpa Lee!!!!

My dad called and said he was on his way down a couple of weeks ago to visit. It was so exciting! We love it when people come to visit us. The kids were stoked and were so happy to see him. He is such a kid at heart. I love this picture of him. He is so stinkin tough for a grandpa. He jumped up to the branch and pulled himself up the stinkin tree like a monkey. LOL!

Max thought it was so awesome and funny. So here they are the two little monkeys hanging in the tree!!! They played and played up there until grandpa's bum got tired:) He told Max that when grandpa was his age he would have been up at the very top and trying to climb on the house. Don't give him any ideas dad!

Max had so much fun and pretty much laughed his guts out while he was here. He is so fun to play with and loves the kids so much. Thanks dad for playing and having so much fun.

Here she is little miss cranky face! Man can she give you some mean looks. I hope she grows out of that:) Grandpa was getting a kick out of her crazy hair the whole time. He kept saying you looked just like that when you were a kid. LOL! This is her frowny face!!!

And Grandpa Lee finally got her to smile by doing frowny face...... happy face!!!!!!!! And she is so stinkin cute when she smiles. Thanks for helping her burst out of her cranky bubble.

We had so much fun!!!!! Love ya dad!

PRAYER

Kinley Joye 18 months

My precious little sweet heart and her beautiful bloomed rose. She loved picking the roses at Grandma Joye's house. She looks so cute in this pic I love it. It reminds me of me when I was a toddler. She looks just like me right now.

* Cute things she does*

The other morning we were having pancakes for breakfast and Rusty, Max, and Kinley were eating. When I got the table with my food kinley started tapping Rusty and saying , DADDY....DADDY....DADDY! He says what and she folds her arms and closes her eyes. She was telling us we needed to say the prayer. My heart just sank as I looked at him with a tear in my eye.... our One year old just reminded us to say the blessing on the food. My heart was full of gratitude and happiness that my children really do pay attention to the things we teach them. I love her so much and for her obedience she already has. I love my family and my baby girl you are an example to me.

Max flag Football!!!

GO REDSKINS!!!!

Max had so much fun this year playing flag football. We got him some cleats and he was so excited to run so fast like DASH in them. He focused so much better this year. We were so proud of our little guy.

This is him the one falling down on the ground.

This time I think he actually tripped or fell in a hole:)

Max, Wyatt, Reggi, and Coach Chad getting the defense game plan.

Max in the gray shorts running after the football. Go get them buddy!!!!
