snOMG I Love This Snow Baby!

Uh-Oh, Cheerio!

Don't worry, Ma. I got breakfast covered!

If you listen closely, you'll hear the sound of mama pulling her hair out!

Brecken at 17 Months

Okay, I admit it. I have been down right horrible about posting the past month or so. So now I've got a handful of random pictures of Brecken that are just begging to be posted... and far more importantly, I'd feel like an awful mommy blogger if I neglected his entire 17th month. I cannot believe he'll already be 18 months in just over a week! Eek!

Sit still for M&Ms (or as B calls them, M-Ms)? Deal!

Christmas Morning!

Santa was here!!

Huntin' For Our Christmas Tree

I realize I'm behind on posting this, but better late than never, right?!

On the wagon at the tree farm!

Let me show you how it's done, Dadda...

Our tree!

Christmas Card Outtakes

Below are a few of the outtakes in my quest for the perfect Christmas card photo. I am excited to say that I finally got THE shot(s), which most of you will be seeing in your mailboxes soon! :-)

This was taken right before he got fed up and launched the bulbed candle, shattering it into a million pieces. Then, while I was cleaning up, he proceeded to chuck big glass ornaments at the hardwood floors. Again, shattering. Point taken, little man. Point taken.

Bath Time

He loves to let the warm water run over him

The cutest little bum in all the land!!

You Are My Sunshine

His favorite new words lately are "Woah!" and "Ohhhh". I'm pretty sure he was saying one of the two in the photo above. :-)



Mmm... chocolate!

The other night, to my surprise and Brecken's delight, Brian broke down and gave the little man his first taste of a York's peppermint patty. Yep, he's a fan!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy (belated) Thankgiving, friends and family!! We hope that everyone had a wonderful turkey day, as did we. This year we celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa Schwenk and Uncle Brad in the tri-cities. We had such a great time, and have so much to be thankful for!

Blowing kisses to Grandma!

TROUBLE

Brecken's first "real" Thanksgiving enjoying all the yummy solid foods!

This year, G'ma and G'pa were undoubtedly thankful to have a master organizer in the family!
