8 Months Old...

This cute little boy just keeps on growing so fast! He is such a sweetie. He is very mellow and happy. He hasn't been doing too well with sleeping through the night again but that is about the only thing that is hard with him. I tried the letting him cry one night after I got a bunch of crap that he is still wanting to nurse in the night, I won't name any names... After 2 hours of crying he finally went to sleep, it was hard to listen to him do that. He did sleep through the night for a couple weeks after that but has started waking up again. I can't seem to get myself to put him through another night of crying like that though. I would rather just help him be happy than listen to the sadness and feel bad. Other than that he is such a good natured little guy.He rolls around and gets where he needs to go, No crawling yet. He has been trying to push up on his hands and legs but face plants shortly after. I have to say I am ok with it that he isn't crawling yet. I have a feeling that once he is mobile, my life is going to change to the busier!!! He liked playing under the Christmas tree...

His first time bowling at the Bischoff family Christmas party!!! He pretty much slept the whole time. He is out growing his Car seat. Good thing Santa brought him a new one for Christmas!

He likes to sit in his little high chair and pat everything.

We love our little Greyson! He has the cutest little laugh and loves LOVES loves his sisters! He has started to get slightly sad when we leave the room and he isn't with us.

Christmas Eve

We went to Rich's parents for Christmas Eve this year. Todd and Jade were there also. The kids were so excited and bouncing off the walls. And crying etc... Misha was so tired that night and had a little attitude but she was still so cute, other than that. They love this little window into the little play room at Grandma and Grandpa's house. This is what they did while we tried watching parts of the nativity movie.Saige was fun this year. She was so SO excited about Christmas she couldn't wait for Santa to come!!!!

The kids dressed up in nativity clothes. Porter is Joseph and Misha is Mary, so was Marli but she was turned around the ohter way there.

Saige was an angel and Greyson was baby Jesus.

Here are the 4 cuties so excited they could hardly hold still for a picture.

Grandpa read 'Twas the night before Christmas' to the kids but Saige was about the only one that sat still and listened for the whole thing. She was loving it! Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!

CRAZY CRASH!!!

At approximately 6:58 this morning as Rich was just about to open the door to his office when this happened. If he would have been there 5 seconds earlier, who knows what could have happened. This is the 2nd of two close calls we have had this weekend.

The driver is fine. It was a younger guy and he blacked out and went over about 5 curbs, through old gristmill parking lot and the police said he was still accelerating when he hit the building!!! Apparently this kid is already in trouble with the law, and this will now add to his troubles.

More info on the driver. He was on his way to an alcohol treatment class.

Family Parties.

This year for Rich's family party we had lunch at the church and then went bowling! It was fun! We played Bingo bowling which was different because you try and get certain scores to win instead of just trying to get all strikes!

For my family party we also went to the church at my parents and had dinner and then hung out and did our annual present game. We used to always go to my Grandma and Grandpa's for our Christmas Eve party, but we have grown in numbers and it is too crowded now. I stole these pictures from my sister Leslie's blog since I didn't think about my camera that night.

When my sister took this picture of my girls she said "Say Boys!" And look at their faces, Misha's is especially funny!!! Too cute!

Tractor rides and Misha Cutes!

A few weeks ago we went up to visit my parents and Grandpa took the grandkids feeding with him one morning. Maybe he was just trying to keep warm with all those little bods in there. They had so much fun! They love visiting up there and there are always cousins to play with. Mckay and Joshlyn had a sleep over too. Where's Grandpa, can you see him?

Yesterday I was hanging out with the girls and feeding Greyson before I had to go to work. Misha said, "Mom, I am going to keep you." I said, "You are? Oh good!"

I am going to keep you too Misha you cute little stink!!! I love being a mom!
