Okay, okay here are some pictures!

Life has been pretty busy since my last post. We had Christmas here in Carlsbad with Grandma, Uncle Justy, Aunt Helen, Uncle Taylor and Granee coming to enjoy the festivities with us. We (Mason, the four babes and I) then went to Cloudcroft, NM to stay in a cabin for the week. It was an adventure with 2 visits to the ER with Clara after burning her arm on a radiant heater in the bathroom and a day of vomiting! Never a dull moment where ever we go!
After Christmas we settled into the norm of sick babies and me running everyday sometimes twice a day. Here is an update on what the babes are up to.



(Did I mention we received a foot of snow on Christmas Eve! Yes, in the middle of the desert! Mason and the kids built their first ever snowman for all involved!)


Dallin: Has discovered his nose and er are constantly telling him to take his finger our of his nose. He also enjoys playing cowboy and bad guy and He-Man (something Mason on hooked him on!). He is always doing something and we have enjoyed him (mostly) since turning 3!



Clara: She is our princess. She has started ballet classes and loves them. We don't go anywhere (store, bed, etc.) without wearing some princess dress and accessories. She is very dramatic and often goes into character when wearing a specific dress! Mason doesn't know what to do with this girly girl!




Ava: She is still our sweetheart baby. She is so mellow and often plays on the floor alone and happily talks to herself. She just started crawling and is very deliberate at it! She continues to sleep through the night and wakes with big smiles.



Bennett: Seek and destroy child. Has 2 teeth on the bottom and has declared himself the bully of the house with toy stealing, hair pulling and climbing over anything and everyone when he wants to. He has also started pulling himself up to a standing position and received his first goose egg on his forehead this week. He does not sleep through the night and Mason has threatened to put him outside at night! He is a happy and silly baby and loves taking baths!



Mason and I have been busy with life. Mason is working on school full time and working full time and has been called as the scout master in the ward. Needless to say, we do not see him much these days. I have been grateful for Granee who has been with us during the week. More to come later, but here are the pictures of the babies for the past couple of months!
