So I feel ever since Christmas hit we have been running around this place like crazy people and I haven't had two seconds to sit down and post anything. I guess since I have two sick kids and a husband (which is worse then a kid by the way when they are sick!!) now is a good time to do a quick update. January few by of course just trying to recover from the holidays, and February...wow, talk about a birthdays month at the Fullmer household. January 31st Austin turned 5, February 9th Ben turned 31, February 15 Brooklyn turned 7, both of our dad's birthdays, Valentines day, etc..it just goes on and on! Sooo, the next post I will be working on will be on all of the birthday updates, but for now here are just a few random pics of things going around here of my cuties!
Daddy and Dru..this was taken just a few days ago, and yes, Dru is STILL a Daddy's boy. I'm not kidding, if Dad is around this kid wants nothing to do with mom, breaks my heart!! And not only does he want his daddy when he is around, but he MAULS him, clings to him, and squeezes those chubby little arms around him like you would not imagine. Of course Ben LOVES it
This pic is of my GORGEOUS 7 year old. LOOK AT THAT HAIR!! Everyone is always commenting on Brooklyn's thick hair, but wow, talk about thick. Growing up I always had thick hair which I hated!! But, that was before they came out with straighteners or any good type of hair products so it was such a pain. We make sure to have fun with her hair though and this was taken right before her dance recital..which she rocked by the way! She is such a light in my life and words can't explain how much I love this little one.
And Talon..oh boy where to start with Talon. This is a typical picture of him. This kid runs and runs and runs 24/7 all day long, refusing to nap, and then just crashes the second he stops. And of course he has to has his star blankie wherever he goes..
Talon is also my dresser upper, I can get him dressed and ready for the day but you can bet no matter what, a few hours later he will come upstairs in something such as this. He is my true blue boy through and through and even though he wears me out like crazy...I love him to the moon and back.
So I'm pretty sure Ben won husband of the year award for Valentines this year by surprising me and taking me to a Lady Antebellum concert here in Utah!! We had FANTASTIC seats and it was soooo much fun! They are my favorite right now and on top of just them, Darius Rucker and Thompson Square opened for them, which I love too so it was so great! Here we are right before the concert started..seriously such a fun night!
We don't get many family pictures these days anymore ..it's very rare to have all 4 kids sitting together long enough to get them so I had to throw this one in there. On our way home from Christmas Vaca with Ben's family we stopped in at my Uncle Brad's house the rest of the McSpadden clan for a Xmas party. Of course they spoiled my kids like crazy and we had a blast! We left about 10pm that night from Pocatello, the kids fell right asleep and believe it or not Ben and I had 4 hour conversation to ourselves the whole way home..highlight of my weekend haha!
This year I signed Austin and Talon up for Itty Bitty Ball through the Legacy Center out here and they LOVED it. Three times a week I took them down there for an hour long basketball came where they were put into teams and then they all rotated through stations. It worked out perfect because there is a track above the courts so I brought my jogging stroller and ran with Dru in that a few miles around and was able to watch the boys play at the same time. They did awesome and looked forward to it every day. Here is them with the mascot on the last day!
My little girl is loosing teeth left and right..and breaking the tooth fairy's bank in the meantime! This is her super excited after having pulled out her second top tooth..that makes 4 soon to be 5 total! She's the cutest toothless little girl I've ever seen (of course!) and I love the lisp she now has whenever she talks, it's adorable.
Here's Talon making a basket!
Austin getting his haircut! This kid has come a long ways in this which shows how big my babies are getting. Getting Austin's hair cut used to be a nightmare! He had alot of ear infections as a baby so HATED when anyone would come close to his ears. We used to have to hold him down and my mom, being a hairdresser and all, refused after awhile to be the one to do it because he wouldn't go to her for days afterwards! Not anymore! He he is all studly like getting trimmed up by our favorite friend Chaundi! We love her!!
My baby is getting sooo big. Here he is opening a Xmas present at uncle Brad's house..football in hand of course. If there is a ball in the room, he owns it! Love him
Ok, is this not the most BEAUTIFUL baby you have ever seen! I would like to introduce you to my new little Nephew Keaton Skidmore
