Tony's Baptism

Tony was Baptized today by our amazing new pastor, it was such a blessing. Loved hearing his testimony and remembering the amazing way God has worked in our lives, we are blessed!

What's new?

This is kind of a miscellaneous post, an attempt to catch up...

No Rhyme or reason for this picture, just thought she looked like a cute little baby seal or something and I had to put it up.  :)

Livie didn't like hers as much because she couldn't get her hands out.  Baylee rescued her though.

We are kind of going backwards because I wasn't paying attention to the picture order.  :/  Here are my big three right before the Christmas program at church.  You can expect a couple of cute videos of that to pop up soon.  :)

Tony and Aubrey on Thanksgiving playing some sort of video game at my parent's house.

Grandma and the girls.

Jaden demonstrating why we will never own one of these at our house.  Obsessed.

Baylee in her new "robe of many colors".

The boys, up to no good as usual.

A picture of a lunch scene at our house the week we kept the Karrer boys.  :)  It was a riot.  Please note the look on Baylee's face.  I think that old saying came true and her face is actually stuck that way, at least that is how it seems these days.   Ahh... the terrible 2s, 3s and 4s!  :)

Here she is in a much better mood... she loves her sisters, Aubrey is enjoying being the middle child for a little while longer.

This is an absolutely rare occurrence at our house... the kids all fell asleep on the couch at the same time.  I shouldn't even say rare, because I can assure you this has never happened before and will most likely never happen again unless there is a gas leak of some sort.  I actually had Tony check to make sure there wasn't a gas leak when I saw this... just completely random.

I just liked this one because Brenna is cracking me up.  She was so into the movie, it was really the first time she has seen a movie and paid attention to it.  The kids are VERY into Robin Hood right now, and she loved being right in there with the big siblings, at least for a few minutes.

That is about all I've got.  We have just been keeping busy doing life.  Tony has pneumonia which is a bummer, he has been quite under the weather lately but is doing much better the past few days.  That is about all of the excitement around here!

Nursery

(A snapshot in time)

I love to look back at my kids when they were small, and it is fun to have pictures of their friends at those stages too.  I took my camera with me on Wednesday night to snap a few pictures of the nursery kids.  I have just a couple like this from when Jaden was a baby and they are treasures, I have to remember to do it more often!

Sweet Baby Elle

Baylee and Brenna

Reese and Livie

This one just cracks me up!

The girls being little mommies.  :)

Baby Dax, 1 year old already!  :)

The big boys were much to busy to have their pictures taken.  They were having a big battle with all of the blocks as their soldiers.  It was fun to spend time with all of the little ones, they are ALL growing way too fast!

Christmas Program

Our church had it's annual Christmas program last Sunday evening.

Considering that this is what it looked like in the car on the way there, I'd say it was quite a success!

Baylee did a sweet song with the preschoolers. We had been hearing this song for months, "All your heart, all your heart, Jesus wants to dwell in every part!" Finally, Baylee and Matthew got a chance to be on stage and they both sang their little hearts out. So cute!

Jaden is always the one I'm worried about.

He did very well this year though, only being distracted by a few minor things, like the loose strings from his "costume" and by Reese not standing up on que. :) Overall, it was great, he sang all the songs and delievered his line, "A Lion!!" like a pro.
