**New Cousin**

On December 14, 2012 Brielle and Bryce got a new cousin and I became an aunt again to another precious boy! Crew Martin Meyers was born weighing 8lbs 11oz and was 21.5 inches. He is absolutely perfect and I fell in love with him the second I saw him. He looks just like his daddy and big brother Camden. He is going to be tall and skinny :). He is loved by so many and we are so blessed to have another precious boy in our family.

Bryce's School Christmas Program

Bryce had his Christmas program at school back at the beginning of December as well. Our very loud, crazy, and outgoing son is very quiet and shy at school. Now that he is getting more used to school and more comfortable his teacher said he is starting to talk to her and his classmates. So needless to say he pretty much just stood on stage and looked cute.....until it was time to sing jingle bells, he sang his little heart out! He loves that song and we sang it a lot at home. I tried to post a video of it, but it was too large to upload.

Brielle's School Christmas Program

I haven't blogged in forever so I'm playing catch up. Brielle had her Christmas program at school back at the beginning of December. They put on quite the production, it was so cute. She did a great job, we were proud of her.

She is so not into taking pictures right now so this is the best I got of her that morning :/

 This kid on the other hand is such a ham and loves to smile for me!

 He also likes to be goofy, this kid is something else

Little IU Fans

Brielle and Bryce are becoming serious IU fans and if you know their Dad at all you know that this makes him very happy! They love to watch the games and cheer for their favorite players. They both pretty much know all the names of the major players. Brielle says her favorite is Christian Watford, aka CWat, and Bryce LOVES Will. They both love Cody too! We plan on taking them to some games next year! GO HOOSIERS!!!!

Halloween 2012

This year the kids dressed up as Jessie and Woody from Toy Story. We went to Fort Wayne so they could go trick or treating with Camden and Cohen. The kids had fun despite the cold and rainy weather.

BIG Boy!!!

 Bryce continues to be our little character and his little personality is showing more and more. He makes us laugh all the time and he literally talks all day long. He loves his sissy so much and they get along so well. We have been working on potty training for a few months now with a lot of starting and stopping due to him not being ready. Well, this past weekend he decided he was ready and has been in underwear since. We are so proud of him!!!  I ran across some funny pictures of him that I wanted to share.

Wearing sissy's hat....he is even cute in pink!!

Man I love this boy so much

Painting & Play-doh

My kids love to do crafts. They have so much fun painting, coloring, cutting, gluing and so on!

Concentrating hard on their painting

 His "cheese" faces crack me up

 Play-doh is another big hit in our house

 In between all the fun things there is always time for cousin snuggling!

 Love these 4 so much!!!
