Random Roundup...

Just a bunch of photos from my phone!

 A week or so ago Brody was acting like he was getting sick (didnt actually get sick though) and fell asleep on the chair in the morning. I love that he was holding his baby and his baby even has a pillow!

 Spoiled and sleeping on mom and dads bed!

 Lots of love from his brother!

 BYU!!

 Our nativity set was taken over by Angry Birds Star Wars guys (just the Lego Star Wars heads)!

 Instead of a Christmas program at preschool, Brody got to go sing at a retirement home in the area and then they came back and decorated sugar cookies and drank hot chocolate! Jack was out of school by then so he got to come too! And of course there is Brody with his crazy face!

 Love this picture! Brothers!

 When we were at dinner the other night Clay gave Cohen some avocado...you cant see it in this picture but I think he liked it!

 The boys were helping me make kiss cookies and they unwrapped all of the hershey kisses and didnt even eat any! Such good helpers!

I found Jack like this the other day! No doubt dreaming of what he will be getting for Christmas!

 It snowed (barely) on Tuesday. Jack and Brody couldnt wait to get out there! Yes, Jack is in shorts and it was more ice than snow. We live in the NorthWest! Preschool was cancelled because schools were delayed. Love it!

We went to the zoo for Zoolights last night! It was pretty cold, but the boys seemed to enjoy it all the same!

5 months...

I am behind! Cohen is now 5 months (as of last Sunday)! He is definitely growing! He just feels heavier and I can tell he is filling out! He is still waking up several times at night but I do think he is getting better. He is finally starting to take a pacifier (if he doesnt pull it out...which happens a lot). When he wakes up at night I can put his pacifier back in and he will usually go back to sleep. He still likes to be swaddled and is sleeping in his own room! He is rolling over a lot. He can roll both ways but tends to stay on his stomach and then gets mad and cries. He has already figured out that if he cries hard enough we will pick him up (he stops right away...such a faker)! He is still nursing and taking formula and is getting quite good at holding his own bottle! He has already gotten to stay with a babysitter and was a good boy! He LOVES his brothers. He smiles and laughs for them more than anyone else. Pretty sure he is about to get some teeth but havent seen anything yet (just lots of drooling and awful diapers). He is a good little boy and we love him to pieces!

Ward Christmas Party...

Last Saturday was our Wards Christmas Party. The theme was The Grinch Who Stole Christmas! They had been planning it from before Halloween and it did not disappoint! All of the tables were wrapped in wrapping paper, there were tons of decorations and tons of food! There was a reenactment of The Grinch and many ward members (Clay and I included) signed up to read some of the story. There was a Grinch, Max the dog, and Cindy Lou Who and the boys loved it! They even got noise makers that they got to use a few times throughout! It was a fun night! And even though Santa didnt make an appearance, the Grinch did and the boys got to sit on his lap and even got a special treat bag from him! And at the end, the boys got to run around the gym with their friends while the adults cleaned up! It was a fun evening!

 We of course had to watch the movie before we went. Classic!

 I was quite impressed with the decorations! Also, I borrowed several of these pictures off of facebook from Debbie! Thanks!

 We got to make Who headbands!

 Brody had his nicest smile for the Grinch...he must only save his crazy faces for family pictures!

Santa Parade...

Last Saturday Brodys Preschool entered a float in the Santa Parade for downtown Puyallup. The kids were invited to come be in the parade and I honestly hadnt thought much about it. But at the last minute we decided to go! Brody was hesitant to get in the float so Clay got in with him. Jack, Cohen and I were going to walk with the float, but Jack wanted to meet up with Addie so we went and found them. I think it worked out best for all of us! Clay didnt have to sit and watch the entire parade (they were float 43 of 125) and I got to get pictures of them and Jack got to see Santa at the end! The weather was nice...no rain and not too cold. And Cohen slept through most of it! We didnt stay to see the tree lighting since Clay and Brody were back at the preschool. We met up with them and stopped at the store to get some stuff for dinner! It was a fun evening and a great way to start the Christmas season!

 Getting ready for the parade to start. I thought Brody might fall asleep, but he didnt!

Cohen Laughing...

Aunt Kelly was saying (on facebook) that she wanted to hear Cohen laugh! So here you go!

I love how his brothers can make him laugh/smile! He really loves them both so much! He lights up when he sees one of them! I think it is the best thing ever! 

Happy Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving! 

We had a nice day! We headed down to Olympia for the big meal with family around noon! We didnt have to cook anything and there was lots of yummy food. I felt a little helpless but tried to help out where I could. Grandma/Grandpa Pratt, Grant/Becki, Craig and his kids, and Chelsea and Garret were there. It was a little smaller than we were used to, but we had a nice afternoon hanging out and stuffing our mouths with delicious food! 

Brody kept us on our toes. He pooped in his underwear and Clay had to change him (thankfully I carry an extra pair of undies with me at all times). Unfortunately, he pooped a second time and it was bad enough that we had to stick him in the bath. I was out of undies for him and he got poop in his pants. So Clay got to go search for something at Rite Aid and came back with some pullups! Never a dull moment with that kid!

Jack played with Chandler until he left and then the iPad came out and he played Angry Birds Star Wars with anyone who would play with him!

Cohen was a good little boy and played happily and then took a good nap!

When we got home we enjoyed more Zupfe and talked about what we are thankful for!
