Elliot Diesel

Jaxon

Lights up

Cutest boys. I can't believe they're almost 1. Crazy!

ps: remember when I was so good about reading books to Elliot before bed when he was this little...books just don't seem to happen with these boys. I need to be better, but getting them to bed before all heck breaks loose is like a ticking time bomb and books just don't fit in that tight time schedule.  (sigh) 

Lights got up. This year it seemed like more of a hassle then fun. I think J.R. is just on a really tough rotation and the stress from the resident and his wife is bleeding into our christmas fun. (deep breath... things will get easier...hopefully January will bring relief)

Putting up the tree

Elliot got bored. The babies were both sleeping- so up it went. I originally wanted it to be a fun family special night, but knowing J.R.'s schedule the chance of that working out with happy kids was very slim so Elliot and I went ahead. Some may think Nov. 17 is a bit early for the tree, but not in the Haynie house. :)

Elliot was very helpful putting up the ornaments till the santa airplanes came out then he was off in his own world flying santa around the living room. (too cute) He had a blast playing in the empty storage bin and insisted we both get in for a picture. We're so silly.

Love the tree. Love my boy. Love the season. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Surprisingly the twins left the tree alone. Granted I left a bare space around the bottom of the tree, but they still make no effort to reach the ornaments.

Weekend home.

One of the main reasons I came home was to see my little bro perform with the Young Ambassadors from BYU. Can't believe I didn't even get a picture with him. Lame. I guess the nieces and nephews are cuter. (ha ha. JK Dies.)

So fun. Great bday present. Thanks to Debbie and J.R. for taking the kids all weekend. I totally needed that. :)

ps: The YA's were AWESOME!

Of course I had to make a quick stop at my twins grave. 

Sadly the number of headstones around them grows much too quickly. It's almost hard to find them in the crowd. :(

Love my Miles

This boy smiles constantly! He's a super happy kid and I LOVE HIM!

Jaxon is so silly

I love these pictures. This is what Jaxon does all day. I'm not sure if he's ready to be a gymnast or a B-boy dancer (look at that perfect second position turnout) Or maybe he's just ready to walk and can't get his head off the ground. Either way I think it's hillarious and love it!

ps: I'm loving the bokeh capabilities on my new camera. Thank you J.R!!

Best bday present EVER

Just look at what a f/1.8 can do!!! Holy Cow, I'm in love!
