Merry Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas, from our family to yours!

 

Cousins

I saw that my sis had a similar post up this morning. 

This little shot must have meant a lot to both of us:

 I am so glad that Stratton boy has such great family around him. We are sure blessed in that arena! I imagine that Stratton and Sawyer will be great little playmates. The one year between them seems like a lot now, but it will be nothing in a few years. I am excited for the fun times ahead.

I also think this sweet grandma loves her new title! You are the best, mom!!

Stratton the Big Boy

I just cannot believe what a big boy Stratton has become lately. In the last few weeks he has become an independent, stubborn, talking machine. Seriously! I can't imagine where he got his sassy from?! :) He is getting too smart for his amateur momma and daddy!

I took this picture of Stratton today at 7:30 am. He just got that blanket out of the clean laundry basket. Life is good when you get a clean blanket back! Funny boy!

I love this little Stratton boy so much! He is the light of my life and {usually} my favorite part of the day. He is talking SO much at 18 months. I cannot even count how many words he says. He knows so much, and will say pretty much anything on demand. We are going to need to watch our mouths around our house.

I am looking forward to spending some extra fun time with him during the holidays! Sure love you buddy!!

 

Our Family's Fourth Year

For our first anniversary I gave Bryce a book recapping my favorite memories from the first year of our marriage. The tradition stuck. Here is Volume Four in the exciting series!
