Miller's Baby Dedication

Miller was dedicated at church on November 25th. Both Bryan's & Michelle's parents were able to come for the service. The music minister led a song for worship before we went up to the stage & when the song was over Casen wanted them to keep playing.  He kept signing for "more" & saying "mo!", "mo!" 
What a special day to celebrate our baby girl!
Our heart-felt desire is for her to know the Lord & one day accept Jesus into her heart. We are so lucky to have a loving church family to support us & our kids along the way.

I cannot imagine my life without these four incredible people! 
I'm so blessed to have such an amazing husband & our 3 precious babies.

Family Fun

And we thought taking pictures for our annual Christmas card with 2 dogs was chaotic!
These nearly 2 year olds think running away from the camera is a game. Their photo shoot tolerance is even shorter than Bryan's... what's a girl to do?!? Surprisingly, we did get a family pic for the Christmas card. We may not all be smiling at the camera, but I'd say we're still a pretty good looking bunch!

A few extra fun shots before the kids completely pooped out...
LOVE this one!! <3 br="">
Casen & Daddy
Mommy & Miller

The kids have recently taking an interest in Bryan's guitar. He lets them choose their own picks & strum along when he practices. They ask for "tar" almost every day - it's so cute to watch them explore their musical skills.

Collins playing with Daddy.
Ta-Da!!

Miller with her Pop.

We've introduced time-out for discipline... Meet TOM (the Time Out Mat). Casen is really good about sitting on Tom when he's in time-out. He always ends up hugging Tom's head - it's pretty funny! Collins responds pretty well to time-outs, too. We just have to remind her to stay on the mat for her full 2 minutes.


What!?!? I'm in time-out AGAIN!

MFD - McCaskill Fire Dept

Aunt Lori bought the kids these ADORABLE fire hats - complete with hinged face shields! They love to wear them around the house when they play.
"Point me towards the fire... I'm ready!"

"What?!? Fire?... Where?"

Casen insists that his face shield must be down at all times - safety first!
It's really cute until you try to snap his picture & end up with 20 of these...


Lightening McQueen's the closest thing we have to a fire engine, but he works pretty well.


Nee-ar! Nee-ar! Nee-ar! On our way to the fire!!



"I make this hat look good!"


These are the chillest fire chiefs I've ever seen... Is it nap time yet?



Mommy & Miller - sleepy girl <3 p="p">
Aunt Suzy let us borrow a swing for Miller - she loves it! Especially since we put up a fence around her & the twins can't easily poke her in the eye anymore.

Casen working the shape sorter with Gram

He's getting really good at it!

Collins loves her Wampa... or as she says "Baaa-m-pa!"

Sweet Miller... 9 weeks old already!


When he was supposed to be napping one day, Casen raided the dresser drawer. When all was said & done he had 6 shirts pulled on over his head - he just couldn't figure out how to get them off!

Hanging out with Daddy!

Lainey & Mommy

Casen loves to imitate! He found Miller's carrier & decided to take the baby dolls for a ride :)

Michael & Caitlin's Wedding

CONGRATULATIONS Mike & Caitlin!!
Michael (Michelle's brother) & Caitlin got married on Nov 3rd in the Woodlands. 
It was a beautiful wedding, & we're so excited for them!

We had a great time celebrating! Michelle was a bridesmaid in the wedding, Bryan was an usher, and Casen & Collins were the ring bearer & flower girl. This is a family pic that Bryan's mom snapped for us. With all of the excitement, I didn't get a chance to take pictures until the kids were past cooperation mode!
Bryan's parents came to the wedding & then watched the kids for us so we could party - Thanks, Nana & Pop!

Casen & Collins love to dance! Aunt Lori & Mommy spent a good portion of the night chasing them around the reception room as they showed off their skills!
