The {L&C} Ranch

This is the 20 acres that Logan and Crystal plan to build there house. Logan and Crystal are still deciding on the Ranch name.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

What an amazing White Christmas... A blessing all around. The snow started to fall and Brian and I truly became kids again. Sutton and Charlee got to experience there first snow and with that, led many other first for Sutton... first snowball, first snow angel, first snowman, first sled ride and daddy's favorite...first Eskimo kiss. What great memories!

A Blessed Christmas to All!!

A Blessed Christmas to all! This is the day we have longed for, and for which we have been preparing during these past four weeks.  Looks like the girls are both on the nice list. Sutton asked Santa to bring her a baby doll and a book. Christmas morning she opened both and nothing but squeals of excitement came out.

Santa has arrived!

Charlee's Barbiator's {Sutton has claimed them.}  Charlee is pretty happy with her ducky lovey.

Sutton and her Baby doll and desk filled with books.  

We should always remember that love is the best gift that we can show and give to one another.

Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus.

Bye Bye till next year!

Here are some of our favorites from this year.

We will miss you... kiss kiss!

Love, 

Sutton Alice and Charlee Jean.

Christmas Eve 2012

Thanks to Mimi and Papa, Sutton got to enjoy Christmas Eve service with a candle lighting and a live nativity. Sutton could not stop talking about the animals. During the service, Sutton looks up to the top balcony and spots Good Ole St. Nick and shouts {At the top of her lungs} SANTA CLAUSE!!

Love you, Mimi & Papa!

Breakfast with Santa

Excited about breakfast with Santa.  Sutton could. not. wait. to meet Santa! She only got up three times asking if it was time to go meet Santa.  Trust me Sutton was not going to let us miss this event.  

Sweet Charlee's first time to meet Santa... it is exhausting to look pretty!

Letter To: Santa From: Sutton.

Thanks Mimi and Papa for making this happen once again! Sweet memories!

Charlee Jean {Three Months}

Dear Charlee Jean,
You are 3 months old! So what's new with you?  You love it when daddy moves your legs up and down, saying "Chuga Chuga Choo Choo"! Choo Choo is still one of your many nicknames!  Your favorite place to be during the day is on your rain forest mat, you love looking at the butterflies and we catch you often laughing and smiling at them. One of the other places you like to spend time is in front of the Christmas tree, you can stare at the lights for a good 15 mins.

You weigh 15 pounds, 7 ounces - just about a pound more than last month. I didn't measure you, but you sure seem to be getting longer! It seems you have become one chunky monkey this month! Your thigh rolls are the cutest thing ever. Enjoy that while you can sister. Unfortunately life isn't fair and that statement won't always be true. And your cheeks. Ohhh your cheeks. I just.can't.stop.squeezing.them.

You have officially graduated to a size 2 diaper.
You are very serious a lot of the time, and your trademark scowl is one of your favorite expressions.  Daddy calls it your "poker face".

You have learned how to spin yourself in a circle, like a little clock in your crib.  You are a total drool bug!! You love to blow spit bubbles, and drool all.of.the.time. It makes me wonder if you'll get your teeth early? No real signs of them yet, which is fine by me.

This month's comparison picture.  I'd say you have a few pounds on Sutton here Charlee-girl!

You are a perfectly beautiful princess and have such a sweet sweet personality. I love your cute squishy smile and your precious giggle.  I love you baby girl!  This month has held so many fun things. Your little personality is starting to shine through, you bring so much joy to our home.

We love you baby girl. XOXO
