Oh Kyle!

There are many times throughout my day that I find myself saying this!  This picture was one of those times!  Kyle yelled out "Mommy I am hiding" and this is where I found him!


Such a clever little boy!

Fun With Beyers!

To go along with Jayme's blog about making gifts I figured I would post pictures of the fun we had!  Lauren and Lindsay came over when they had an early out...Kreighton was SOOOO excited waiting for the bus (I wish I would have gotten a picture of her looking out the window)!  Both boys were asleep so we had time to make a fun gift!

All Smiles!

Mixing Away!

Kael woke up at the end and joined the fun!

It was a fun afternoon of playing...3 girls is much easier than one they all entertained each other! 

Baragary Christmas!

We also celebrated The Baragary Christmas which seems to grow by leaps and bounds every year with all the cousins!  And Santa always makes a visit every year which (most) of the kids love!

Clara was not a fan of Santa!

Kyle was shaking!

Hayden was NOT afraid of Santa!
Not so sure how long it will be until Will figures out who Santa is!




Sean even for a present!


Fred got a Dekalb sign....those Baragary Ladies are so clever!


All the kids!



Once again the Baragary Christmas was a huge success! 

Christmases and Santas!

This weekend we had lots of Santa and Christmas time...the kids did awesome, Kreighton sat right on Santa's lap,  Clara andKyle were terrified of him, and Kael had no clue as to what was going on!



Ok...maybe for a tractor I will!



This didn't post for some reason!

Homemade Christmas Gifts



This year I decided to attempt to have Kreighton "make" some Christmas gifts!  So with the help of pinterest we made body scrubs and hand soap!  Kreighton totally got into it and loved it!



So much fun!



Kael was part of the fun as well!

A lot of people on our list will be getting body scrub and hand lotion!

Annie

Last week Kreighton, Shannon, and I went to the musical Annie.  Kreighton absolutely loved it!  We started off the night by going to a "fancy" restaurant where I even let Kreighton get a "fruity" drink!
The musical was awesome and kept Kreighton entertained the whole time!  And today when Fred was helping Kreighton clean her room, she told her Dad, "you sound like Miss Hannigan!"



She had to wear her red dress....just like Annie!

A Quick Trip....

Yeah Right....our Monday morning started off with saying good-bye to The Moroneys as they were heading back to Minnesota, and the kids managed to talk Sissy into riding with us to the library....a quick trip!  Well I smelled something in the van and looked under and saw oil flowing out!  Called Fred, he was with a customer...so called Dad and he said to take it to Cy and Charleys.  Unloaded all 3 kids and attempted to keep the entertained at Cy and Charleys...Thank Goodness Sissy was with us to help!  It did not take long for them to come back and tell us the bad news...they could not fixed it and it should be towed to CR!  How fun...now we are stranded with 3 kids and no vehicle...and I STILL cannot get a hold of Fred!  Thank Goodness my mom's office happens to be located right next to Cy and Charleys and she is willing to let us take her vehicle!  But of course we had to switch 3 carseats, and my husband puts them in so tight it took me and Shannon to get them out!  Well the van wasn't as bad as what they thought...but after much thought Fred and I decided to trade it in...it has caused far too many headaches in the last two months so we get our new one on Friday!
All in all it was a crazy morning...but as always things could have been worse!

Kyle

This post is all about Kyle...tomorrow he will be exactly 2.5 years old!  Life with Kyle is always interesting...to say the least!  Of course it is impossible not to love this little boy even when he is being a stinker...he can go from happy to devastated faster than most!  To him everything revolves around tractors, backhoes, and Cailou!  When you ask him to do something...almost always his response is..."in a little bit mom"  He is at a stage where he has to do everything by himself...if you turn on a light that he wanted to turn on...he will drag a chair over turn it off and turn back on "all by myself" He is also my little snuggler....he will ask me throughout the day to just sit and snuggle with him...which of course impossible to turn down! He loves to stay home...every morning he asks me "I stay home today mom?" or if we are out somewhere he states he is ready to go home!  He talks about going to the tractor store and getting new tractors all the time...this morning when we were out of cereal he told me "go to the tractor store mom!"  Most days I find myself saying..."oh Kyle what am I going to do with you?"  As my dad says Kyle definitely has a opinion on most things that he is not shy about sharing!

Kreighton's Photo Shoot!


This week in Iowa we had unbelievably warm weather for December...so I put Kreighton in a dress and had her outside for a quick photo shoot I have a collage idea for my wall (that I got from pinterest) and I needed some pictures of her!  I got some great pictures of her!

I Think.....

Kyle and Kreighton are ready for snow!  They were playing with a sled inside the house!!!

The Tasting Game!


Cold weather has set in!  So I have to find things to keep the kids busy...and me sane!  I had the kids put blind-folds on and they had to figure out what they were "tasting"  Kreighton completely loved it!  She loves anything that is remotely similar to school...and gets to frustrated with her brother when he does not follow directions!








Kyle was more interested in the chocolate chips than playing the game!

I think she is cheating :)

Kyle decided to play!



After the game playing with the avocado seed!

Going to the Movies!

Tonight I took Kreighton, Addie, and Emee Lange to the movie Arthur's Christmas, it was a cute movie and the girls did great!  However I did have to laugh because the girls wanted to sit by themselves and asked me NOT to sit by then, so I enjoyed the second half by myself.  I have a feeling if Mom or Kay is reading this they are laughing to themselves, because I am certain Kelly and I pulled this move a time or two growing up!  Next time I will probably be asked to stay in the van!

Kael at 3 Months!

Well closer to 3.5....but I have a feeling with Kael I will always be running a little behind!  For the 1st two weeks of his life I told people he was born on August 28th instead of the 26th!  Oops!
He is still a good baby and a good sleeper, he usually only gets up once a night, of course last night he was about every hour!  Everyone still tells me he looks like, Uncle James, I also hear Aunt Shannon, Grandpa Craig, and Great Grandpa Dean.  I am not so sure he has a chance to tan like Kyle and Kreighton!
He is very hot-blooded, I have to keep him in cool outfits or he wakes up covered in sweat!  He has started to laugh and grab for things!  Kreighton and Kyle still love on him and fight over who gets to sing a "nightime" song to him!  And Kyle tells him when he gets bigger he can play tractors with him!  And Kreighton loves to refer to her brothers and her "crazy brothers"

Bright Eye!  I am not keeping my hopes up that I might get a blue-eyed child....Kreighton's eyes were the same and they turned hazel!

"What Mom?"

Getting so big!

Kyle and his Backhoe!

Aunt Sissy told Kyle when he was potty-trained she would buy him a backhoe...he told her "I want a big backhoe like Wouie" Louie Gallery!  It is the only thing we talked about for two weeks, everyday Kyle wanted to call Sissy to talk about the backhoe!  Well I can say Kyle is for the most part potty-trained....so in return Sissy bought him his backhoe!!!  He is one happy camper and all we still talk about is his backhoe...he wants it to go everywhere we go! 



He even pulled it into the bathtub with him!

Window Walking

Growing up we always went to the "Window Walk" in Manchester so this year I decided to take the kids, well Kreighton and Kyle, it was cold so Mom stayed home with Kael.  My dad went with us...Fred was putting anhydrous on.  It was a great night and the kids loved it!





We went to Great Grandma and Grandpa's for supper!

1st stop Angie's office!

She read the kids a book!


A camel...Kyle was not sure what to think of the camel!

Kreighton and Bappa Craig!



Happy kids before we were leaving!

It was a cold but great night!
