Christmas At the Humphries

6 a.m. time to wake-up. Of course the one morning we want the boys to wake up at 6 they didn't so we had to do a little wake-up call of our own.

Nathan before I woke him up. I love when babies sleep with their little bums in the air.

The boys on Mom and Dad's bed. We just finished reading Luke 2 and Jon had to go check and see if Santa came before we released the kiddos.

Santa Came!

Santa even had time to spell out the boys names on their new lego table. (sorry for the angle)

Christmas Morning

What better to find in your stocking than candy and a toothbrush

Present time

The boys bought Jon an erector set.

After a little bit of opening presents Nathan asked for a drink of milk. He sat in a little chair with his blankie, his doggie (that Santa gave him), and enjoyed his beverage.

Nathan got these frog boots from his Grandma and Grandpa. They're a little big but he loves them.

Kyler with his hero factories

The boys with their star wars legos

Playing Don't Break the Ice

Ky got a dragon and ship to go with his dragon fortress

Landon really likes to do art stuff, drawing, coloring,etc.

Christmas Eve Festivities

I know it's a little difficult to see but I had the cutest shepherds and wiseman. Nathan is actually holding a stuffed lamb that's almost as big as he is.

All the grand kids that live close doing the Nativity. ( Nathan gave up on wearing his head covering)

Stocking were hung by the chimney with care.
Plus the boys opened their new pjs.

Daddy reading Twas the night before Christmas. Nathan was climbing all over Jon's back but decided to sit down just as I took the picture.

Santa's cookies. Landon and Kyler each had sprinkles and Nathan was putting on gumdrops. We tried to convince the boys that we should leave Mt. Dew of Santa instead of milk , but they wouldn't go for it.

Gingerbread Houses

Landon's creation

Ky was very proud of his house

Grant decorating... before it collapsed

I love this pic because if you look at Nathan (wearing orange and blue) He didn't make a house but had to be at the table eating handfuls of M&Ms.

Sunday we got together with my sisters that live in Utah. We ate yummy soup, decorated gingerbread houses, read a Christmas book, had hot chocolate and dessert, and pasted out Christmas present from my parents. It is so fun getting together and letting our crazy kids play.

Sitting with Santa

Nathan was not to sure about this whole thing but at least I got a pic to show that we tried.

I can't believe how grown up Landon looks here.

Ky was the first to jump in Santa's lap.... can you tell he's a little excited.

18 Months already

Today was Nathan's first day of nursery. I have been dreading this day for the simple reason of I didn't want to be the mom with the child that screams the whole time. BUT Nathan did great! Jon took him in ( which is the key) and he didn't even cry when daddy left. I can't believe how big he is. tear

Friday Night Fun

Since Jon went back to working nights, it has been just me and my three munchkins. We have made Friday nights into our movie night. We all get into our jammies and pull out the sleeping bags and watch a movie. It's become something that they look forward to now and they plan the movie a week in advanced sometimes. Well it is time for the movie to start... that's my cue to get off the computer.

This time of year

Can you believe it is the holiday season already? Well, this has been the scene at our house for the past week or so. We have received 4 toy magazine/adds and the boys have been studying them for hours and have already started their wish list.

No guts No glory

Nathan is very excited about his 'ball' (pumpkin), plus he got to play with a big spoon.

All cleaned out ( thanks to Mom)

I'll leave the dirty work to my men!

The boys drew what they wanted on a piece of paper then Jon and I went to work. Nathan absolutely loves his pumpkin and screamed when we put the carved pumpkins back out on the porch.

Pumpkin Walk

Nathan checking out the pumpkins from the comfort of his stroller

Pumpkins!

Cinderella and the Prince

We went to a pumpkin walk on Friday with our friends the Potters. The line was crazy long this year but we just enjoyed visiting with each other and checking out all the costumes. It was our practice run on the boys costumes. The pumpkins were pretty cool, the boys loved it so I guess the hour and half wait was worth it.

Pumpkin Picking

Nathan and Gma with HIS pumpkin

Jon helping Ky get 'the chosen one' off the vine.

Since Nathan was too little last to do anything but sleep in the snuggi, this was Very exciting for him. He found this little pumpkin or ball as he calls them, and wouldn't put it down the rest of the night. He got very upset when Jon wanted to put it in the trunk with the other pumpkins.

Landon had a very difficult time picking a pumpkin this was his first pick put not the one he came home with. To try to make it easier to decide Jon told the boys that they have to be able to carry their pumpkin all by themselves.

The moms and kids on the hayride. Jon and Jared are taking the pictures and Gpa Hum was stuck at work.
