Scott is the one on the right!

My little brother is serving a mission in Minnesota. Yes he may be freezing to death, I worry about that often. I love this kid so much he is growing and changing and doing a great job. My little Ryan reminds me alot of Scott. Scott was the baby in our family and he was such a beautiful baby. Blue eyes, blond hair, and just so cute. I miss him alot, but he will be coming home in August. One of my mom's friends was visiting out in Minnesota and stopped to have lunch with Scott. Here are some pictures of the "fine young man"! And here is what she had to say about him: "He is a fine young man who is serving the Lord and doing the things he knows are right."
Scott is on the right!

Away in a Manger

Chris made me this manger for a primary lesson. I couldn't help but lay me sweet baby boy in it and take some pictures! How cute is he?! I am sad that Christmas is almost here I want to celebrate for a whole month more. Merry Christmas! A reenactment of what the Christ child looked like in that scratchy hay!

Ryan's Room

It's about time for Mr. Ryan to be moving out of mom and dad's room and into his own. Yesterday Chris hung some pictures on his walls. It looks great, but it's only the beginning!

Christmas Card Photos

Here is a sneak peak of our Christmas card photos. Well I'm undecided on which one to use, we just got them done today. I'm quite pleased. I guess I planned for the worst!
Okay there was some hair pulling!

Graduation

Chris did it! He graduated from Paramedic school! Way to go babe!

( Wow we are a family of five now, good luck ever getting all the kids to look at the camera!)

Men's dress shirt= Little girls dress

Does this dress look familiar?

(Brooks is wearing a teal swimsuit under her dress, that is not part of the sleeves)

Oh that's right it's Chris' shirt from our engagements. It doesn't fit anymore. 4 1/2 years of marriage will do that to ya. (Oh and sorry I didn't ask if I could cut up your shirt Chris, but look how cute it is.)

I have conquered another sewing project. If you want to make one here is the site with the tutorial on it: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=170402.0
