Update!

1.  Keith and I started bootcamp.  We are so sore that we want to die.  Like can't kneel down to pray sore. Let's hope it is worth it.  We loved spending Christmas at home with just our boys and we threw an awesome New Year's party that ended at about 10:30 because we are old and cool like that.

We are in the middle of finally decorating our Master Bedroom.  Keith has painted it and put up new curtains.  We are searching for a bedspread/headboard/nightstands.  It is terrible.  I hate making decisions like that.  Also, Keith got himself a ridiculously large television for Christmas.



Boy #1  Benson's front tooth came out.  He also recently had some awesome dental work done and was a total trooper-the dentist is the worst right?  The kid didn't even flinch.  He got a 4-wheeler for Christmas and loves it.  And he is a rocking helper-well as helpful as a boy can be.  He loves kindergarten and telling really awful jokes.




Boy #2  Griffin is the baby whisperer, he is constantly kissing Mack and beating up Leo.  If it were up to him, he would play video games (aka Star Wars) all day.  He says the longest prayers ever, they are so sincere and thorough.  Also, this boy is cavity free!



Boy #3  Leo is the cutest kid ever, seriously.  Keith and I say constantly that there has never been a more adorable child.  He is hilarious.  He talks nonstop.  He loves to drink milk and hates eating anything with any nutritional value.  He had a rough few weeks after Mack was born but is adjusting well now.  He asks to do his peeps in the potty, but mostly just because it's fun.  He calls Mack, Macky Moo or Paisey in a really high pitched voice.  He loved Christmas and singing Jingle Bells.  He is still ball obsessed.



 He fell asleep in his high chair on Christmas.

Boy #4  We love our little Macky Moo.  I never want to put him down and I pretty much don't.  He has started smiling and has slept through the night a few times. If he wakes up, it is only once and generally around 4 am.  He loves to eat and loves his mom.  :)  He melts all of our hearts.  He had a fussy week or two, but seems to be doing much better now.  Keith gave him a beautiful blessing on Sunday. He blessed him with a tender heart (he does have a tender little spirit) and to be a good man and priesthood holder and learn from his brothers and their different personalities.  He is putting on some good weight and if he is awake-he is smiling.  We love our little sweet boy.





Four kids is just plain crazy.  Crazy good.  




We are so blessed.

Lisa! It has been so fun getting caught up reading about your adorable boys and the fun things you have been up to! I loved what you wrote about your son Griffin!(And all your boys!) His personality is a lot like my little Avery. There were several things that made me laugh out loud as Avery does the same exact things, even though she is a girl. She hugs with her teeth gritted and always wants a 2nd bowl of cereal too. It must be a second child thing. Mack is adorable and fits right in with your other boys! You look so beautiful in all those pictures too! I haven't been very good at blogging or reading blogs the last year or so, but hoping to get back into it!
