November Pictures

We started off the month of November blessing Ashton.  We were glad to share the day with Rich and Allisha who were blessing Cody as well.  Our friend, Christie Marlatt (who did our family pictures last year) was there and she was nice enough to snap a few pictures for us with her camera.

 Ashton was about a month and a half old in this picture.

The whole crew!  I think Ethan's hands are funny in this picture.  He likes to talk with his hands and he was super excited to take a picture with his buddies Skyler and Dylan and so I'm pretty sure he was starting to say something.  Love my silly boy!

We were grateful that both my mom and dad and Tristan's family were able to make it for the blessing as well.  We snapped some pictures with the grandparents and aunts and uncles since we were all together.

 Desiree, Annette, Nicole and Kelsey with the boys.  I love how Ashton's hands was up in the air.  Like he's saying, "Don't forget me!"

 Poor lighting, but here's an "awake picture" from later in the day.

 The boys love their little brother and like to help as much as I will let them.  Carter especially loves to help hold his bottle for him.

 Grandma Bernard brought over some yummy chocolate cake one night and, as you can see, Carter loved it!

 When Tristan is gone the boys get creative in their indoor play...they really like to use my pots and pans as drums.  This is the scene many days at our house...

 Look at that enthusiasm.  Maybe they'll take after their Uncle Kelsey and play the drums when they're older.

 This is Ashton at about 2 months.  At this point he started to get super smiley and has stayed that way. This was the best shot I could get that day.

 Poor lighting, but a cute little face!

 Tristan volunteers at the volunteer fire department when he's in Louisiana.  They had an event one evening while he was there and he brought back some goodies for the boys, including these fun fire hats.

 There were also toy cars (a big hit around here) and rubber ducks along with some coloring books.  The boys were really excited by the presents dad brought home with him.
