Picture Over-load!

I have had so many pictures that I have been needing to post! I'm so excited to finally be getting it done. I know I've said it before, but my main purpose in blogging is so that if I never get my scrapbooking done, I'll have my blog as a backup for my kids someday. So anyways, I'm sorry for all the pictures!
Every year we try to get a picture in front of the Christmas tree! My mom made us do it and now I make my family do it! No one complains yet, but I'm sure someday they will. I love to look back at the pictures my mom takes in front of the tree and see how much we all change over the years. I swear my brothers grow 2 feet every year! Anyways this year we didn't do that great, but I guess we got it done!

The only one the kids are all looking in just had to be the one where Addi was pulling this face!

This, believe it or not, was the best one we took! Depressing, huh??

Jake accidentally took this one but Jet ended up so cute in it! I wish Jake had made it back in time!

So these pictures are all a little backwards! This is actually Jet's birthday cake, but because their Birthdays are so close I figured for Elli's first birthday cake one cake all month would be ok! I swore to myself I'd never have a December birthday and now I have 2!!

Jake loved his cake! He wasn't afraid to take a big chunk out of it!

Who needs a fork when you've got a mouth!

My sister made this cake! Her cake decorating skills are getting better every time she makes one! Thanks Lace!

Everything Jet got for his birthday was from the movie "Cars"! He loves it so much. The next day when people would say something about his birthday he would tell them "Cars!" I think he thought the 2 went together! Birthdays means Cars!

This was the beautiful cake I made! Jake didn't think boys should have pink cakes, but I really meant for it to be red! I guess I should practice making cakes more often! Or else just let Lace do it!

I swear I really do let my kids sleep! I really don't know why he was so tired in this picture, but Jake and I thought it was pretty funny!

We love decorating the tree at our house! We've made our own little traditions out of it and we all have a lot of fun!

I couldn't believe how much Jet loved it! He just kept going back and forth for another ornament!

This is how Elli helped! I swear all that girl does is make messes! If she wasn't so cute I'd probably get mad at her!

Seriously though isn't that the cutest smile you've ever seen!

These are all just a bunch of random pictures! This was when we went to Cheyenne to watch my brother Jordan play basketball! The kids were having a pretty good time!

This is pretty typical for Elli. In fact I seriously could've taken this exact picture again tonight!

I really don't know how he falls asleep like this!

Jake pulled our mattress downstairs and we had a party bed. It really was so fun! We even left it out the next day so we could just relax on it all day! I seriously want a mattress floor instead of carpet!
