some of my new favorite pictures

Starting this post, I only intended to put 2 pictures up.  But the deeper I got into my picture file, the more I realized how little I've put on this blog lately.  So I had to include ALL of my favorite pictures from the last few months.  Don't worry, they're really awesome.

 Jude fell asleep with Grandma's phone in his hand.  He's just so cute!  It was questionable there for a while whether he liked Grandma or her phone more.  But the verdict is in, and it's.....GRANDMA!!

 I just love this picture.  They are so cute together.  It's no question that she's going to be spoiled.

 While Grandma was here last time, we started a new tradition of  "Monkey Monday".  The kids wear their monkey hats, eat bananas, and we even had monkey pancakes (pancakes shaped like a monkey head).  Grandma made them monkey masks, too.

Vienna getting in on the Monkey Monday action.  Complete with the banana peel she grabbed out of her daddy's hand.

 My mom made these darling aprons for my boys.  They love to help me cook so they were very excited to have their own boy-ish aprons.  Jude's is on backwards... :)  And I'm happy to announce that our walls are no longer that ugly dark mustard yellow color.  I'll put pictures of it's new look as soon as we finish.

Ok, I really love this picture.  It's just so perfect.  The boys have been wearing "night-gowns" (my t-shirts) to bed lately.  They always seem to have the most energy right when we're trying to get them to go to bed.  Funny how that works.

 Vienna just makes us all happy.  Carter and Jude both just love to be close to her.  And share their toys with her.  And give her countless hugs and kisses.  You get the point.

 Carter took this picture of her in the car.

 Like I said before, they love her.

 At the zoo, Jude was riding on Dennison's shoulders.  Anytime he had something to say, he'd lean down like this to tell him.  He always cracks us up.

 Jude doesn't like to sleep in his room alone when Carter's at the hospital.  I usually let him sleep in my bed (see next post) but sometimes I give him the option of sleeping wherever he wants.  One night, he chose Vienna's crib.  He didn't even tell me he was going to bed or that he was going to sleep in her room.  I just hadn't seen him for a few minutes and I found him already asleep in here.  What a goofball.

 She is just so cute!  There's not a doubt in my mind that she was sent to our family right now to make us all smile and laugh every day.  She's really good at that :)

This was in the hospital last month.  Those are his "blood-bug eating monsters" with his dolphin and turtle on their heads.  He set them up like that so they could watch him play his computer game.  I just love him.

So there you have it.  The best of the best from our lives recently.
