Happy 1st Thanksgiving!

While home for thanksgiving I came across this picture of myself. Kindergarten photo I think. Adorable if I do say so myself. Now you know where Carter gets his hair color from. :)

The turkey... forgot to get the Steffen annual boy photo w the turkey.




Anderson got lots of Gram time!

Turkey butt!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving baby Anderson. Next year will be better, when you can actually eat it. Love you!

november fun

My three baby boys.

I learned to crochet this fall and have been crocheting up a storm. I made that hat for Anderson to go Christmas carolling. He is our little rudolph!

Gram and Anderson played and bonded a lot in November. It was lovely. Anderon's middle name is her maiden name... so, I think they share a special bond. <3

I'm not sure who had more fun... her or him!

Parker being silly about his birthday money. He said that I should spend his birthday money to buy Carter a bike so we could have two bikes. Two bikes are more fun. Carter makes his cameo appearance in his undies.

Here is Parker reading me a story he "wrote".

1st Halloween!

Happy First Halloween, Anderson!!!

Anderson's blessing

Anderson was blessed and the primary program was today. It was the first time that as Primary President I have put on the program. AND it was Parker's first time being in the program. He did great talking into the microphone even if you couldn't understand every word he said. The spirit was totally there!!

Grandma and Grandpa Miller, Uncle Jonathon, Grandma and Grandpa Steffen, and John-Mike came up for our special day. :)

John-Mike's car broke down in the parking lot and Paul was going to jump it. He pulled his car on the grass and totally got stuck in the mud. Luckily Roy was able to pull him out!!! We called AAA for John-Mike's car to be towed home. He stayed to watch the Bills game and then Brian brought him home. :) It was an exciting but good day!!

Parker turns F-O-U-R

Dear Parker,

Four years ago- on October 18th at 6:38pm, through some unexpected turn of events- I became a mom. The exact moment you took your first breath- my life, and my priorities forever changed. I am so lucky that you chose me to be your mom.

Everyday I count my blessings.

I look forward to watching you grow and learn.

I love you more than there are stars in the sky.

Love, Mom

Contagious

Anderson is such a smiley baby!! He goes from smirking to full out face smiles in seconds. He's such a content and happy baby. I am honestly the luckiest mom in the world.
