Santa found us and there was a lot of us!

We had a wonderful Christmas.
This year we celebrated Christmas with my family. I think its been 7 years since we have all been together for Christmas and it made my partents pretty happy to have all their kids at home.

Cooper was so much fun. He went crazy. By the afternoon he could hardly talk because his voice was so horse from screaming with excitement. Santa sure spoiled him this year but i know it was only because he deserved every bit of it. He sure made Christmas fun for Josh and i!









Brewer was the best present this year. Holding him while I watched his big brother open his presents was just what this mommy wanted. On Christmas day Brewer rolled from his stomach to is back. He hasn't done it again but it was pretty awesome.

Brewer, Mallory and Kase were the center of attention. Everywhere you looked there was a baby. Now everyone had to go home and life is back to normal. Josh went back to work and I'm trying to get the house put back together. I always have a hard time saying goodbye to Christmas but i know it will be back soon.

And isn't this picture just so cute?
Hope you have a great New Years!

Lots of love,
Marti

Santa

Bruiser's first time to sit on Santa's lap and this was extra special it was his grandpa:)


Later that night Coop Dog went and pulled himself on his grandpa's lap and said, "where's your costume." My dad had to hurry fast and talk his way out this one and i think Coop bought it for now. Then later that night Coop said how did Santa know i wanted monster trucks i never put that in my letter, maybe i said it in my sleep. Oh i love it.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Lots of Love,
Marti

josh and i are both so excited to finally be a aunt and uncle on the dewitt side.
we just love her.

this picture cracks me up. my bruiser is so big compared to brooklynn. they both are so cute and don't you just love all her hair:)

look at what we made

really coop dog did all the work and i'm not kidding. he really did.

i think he did a awesome job!

you want to know my little secret for kids to make ginger bread house? small milk cartons in the middle and then use store bought icing and gram crackers. The milk cartons make it easy for the gram cracker to stay up. Then just add as much sugar as you want. Kids love it and its easy for them to do. coop loves his ginger bread city and he has played all day with it and he even has hot wheels driving around. he's one funny boy!

I love those big blue eyes!

I love those chubby cheeks!
I love his pudgy belly!
I love his stinky feet!
I love this little boy!
I love that he's mine!

It was this time last year that Josh asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him a baby. Today I can only smile because after I said that to him and I was sick all night and every night after that. That it was not because of all the sweets i ate but only because i was going to have a baby. My Christmas wish came true that year and this year I get to enjoy him. This is going to be a fun Christmas!

We spent our weekend with

this guy.

my boys had a blast with uncle Gunner and I love the chance i get to hang out with my little brother. He's a pretty special guy and i love him to death.

The reason why Gunner stayed with us?
These two

were celebrating their 35Th wedding anniversary! I'm so grateful for my parents and love how much they love each other. My dad is still googly eyed all over my mom and my mom can't live without my dad. They are pretty cute together if you ask me. It was a fun weekend!

its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

my boys are pretty excited!

What my days look like

Coop Dog teaching Bruiser some boxing moves. Their grandpa Porter would be proud.

Boys are so fun!

Happy Thanksgiving

Brewer survived his first turkey dinner! Gobble! Gobble!

Did someone say

?
I don't think that smile can get any bigger.

Happy Weekend! Don't forget to SMILE!

My family

Be prepared for cuteness

Thank you Amy for taking such beautiful pictures!
I love them all!

Our Blessing

Brewer looked so handsome on his big day. Josh gave a beautiful blessing. We are so grateful for Brewer. We love him so much.

I have a

5 year old. I'm in tears. I don't want him to get older. I want him to always sit on my lap. I want him to never be afraid to kiss me or hold my hands. I want him to always come to me when he's hurt or sad. I want him to always be happy and healthy. But I know even though he has to get bigger he will always be my baby boy.

Happy Birthday Coop Dog!
You sure are a good looking 5 year old!
I love you so much.
Hugs and Kisses!
Love,
Mommy

Beware! Spooky Kids!

We had a fun weekend. We had family in town and so Coop played his little body out with his cousins. Halloween was awesome!

SNOW

Today I woke up to my first sight of snow and it's cold! I think I would rather lay in my moms arms are drink some milk then go back outside to that cold snow. Happy Wednesday!

Love,
Bruiser

Carving Pumpkins

There's something magical about having a 4 year old in your home. Josh and I sat on the couch watching Cooper stare at his pumpkin all lite up. We could only imagine the stories that were going through his mind about this pumpkin as he sat in silence and admired it on firer.

It was a lovely night carving pumpkins as a family.

Fresh Start

One thing that I decide while being pregnant is I want to feel healthy again and feeling healthy to me is not having to be a size 4 but just feeling good about my body. Which I haven't felt good about in a really long time. Weight has always been a struggle for me. I go up and down a lot on the scale. I have to really watch what I eat. So I'm back on the diet and I'm going to do it this time. My heart is in it. I need to do it mostly for me but for my children as well. I know its going to hard but i know i can do it. So wish me luck and if you have any diet tricks you would love to share with me please feel free to share!

Today I have already had my morning walk with my momma and i already feel great! Its a fresh start!

Halloween

Josh loves Halloween and he's usually the one that puts everything up but this year with school, work and new baby he has had no time. So Coop dog went crazy when his mom started pulling out the Halloween decorations. We mostly just decorated the inside this year. I'm leaving the outside to Josh if he ever finds time.

I only got one picture of my decorations because my camera battery died maybe because i take to many pic's of these two.

They are just so cute! Don't you just love Coop's hair? By the way he did it all by himself!

I can't get enough of my little Bruiser!

Its a beautiful day

when i wake up with all my handsome boys in my bed!


Is it bad that Brewer hasn't even seen his crib?
We can't help it. We would rather have him in our arms.

Coop dog's new saying is "that's just how Jesus made me!"
How can i ever get mad at a kid that says that?
Josh "Coop, your so loud."
Coop "Dad, that's how Jesus made me!"

Me "Coop, no more jumping on the bed."
Coop "Mom,that's how Jesus made me!"

I'm in big trouble with this kid. He's to smart for me!

Our little Bruiser

I love to nibble, kiss and love on his chubby cheeks!
Doctors visit today Bruiser weighed in at
10 lbs 12 oz
I must be feeding him cream:)
And I love it when he gives me the Blue Steel's face.
It cracks me up!

I love my little Bruiser!
