♥February♥

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from February.



The face of an angel! HAHA!! I love my little Stinker!

Wesley fits in Baylor's old suit. I had to take a picture with him he looked so handsome... and BIG! I keep forgetting that he is growing up.

Valentine's Day! We gave each of the boys a book.

We gave Baylor "Go Dog Go." He calls it "Doggy Go Go!"

My Mom and Dad stopped by on Valentine's Day with gifts and chocolate. They are so thoughtful. They brought this heart balloon, it was a huge hit with Wesley.

Colorado

At the end of January Wesley and I flew to Denver to visit my friend Natalie. This was my first time in Colorado. They told me it was a common misconception that it snowed a lot in Denver, but there just so happened to be a blizzard while I was there! One of the days it was THREE DEGREES. BRRRR! I only had a working camera for one day (sad!) and that was the day that we went to the cutest little Ski town, Breckenridge.

Natalie and her husband Zach

We were there for the 'Internation Snow Sculpture Competition' It was awesome!!!!!!!!

It was SO COLD! We did not come prepared. I had Wesley bundled so tight. He didn't budge so that was cute!

I love this cute, happy head!!!

It was a lot of fun to see Natalie's cute home and her town!

 Thanks Nat for a fun weekend!!!!!!!!

Family Pictures

I was suppose to finish my 2010 scrapbook in January but that didn't happen. I JUST finished. I told myself I wasn't gonna blog until that was done... so that is why my blog has been Christmasy for the past three months!

It's been driving me crazy... But I'm done!!! YAY!

Lindsi took our family pictures in December. She is so talented, We are so lucky to have a photographer in the family!!

I love these pictures, Thank you Lindsi!!!!!

One more Christmas Post....

Since I started digital scrapbooking 2 years ago, I have made January my scrapbooking month. I do a little bit throughout the year and then pound it out in January. I have been working like crazy. Here are a few more pictures from December. We had a blast making our Christmas Video this year. We did our own 3 minute version of the movie Elf. Logan made the Elf Costume for Baylor. This was his first time touching a sewing machine!! We filmed it in Downtown Portland. I was quite proud of Baylor's performance. I wanted to post it but I could not figure it out!

and just for fun...

Here are some pictures of Logan making Baylor's Elf costume.

Merry Christmas!

We were busy visiting both of our families
Christmas Eve. I love the feeling on Christmas Eve of finally being done with everything, and being able to sit back and enjoy the holiday! First we went to my family's house, the Chapman's.

We enjoyed a yummy Turkey Dinner.

Sang some Christmas Carols.
Opened a few gifts. (Okay more then a few!)

Ate lots of goodies.

(Baylor snuck into the fudge while we were opening gifts.)

...and enjoyed each other's company!

Next we headed over to the May's.

First we did the annual Live Nativity.

Lori made this set and all the costumes.

I love this tradition!!!

Wesley had the honor of playing Baby Jesus.

He did so well, he was happy the whole time!

All the kids loved the baby!

Baylor was a very busy busy Sheppard.

After the Nativity we watched the Christmas Videos. (I'm gonna try to post ours in another post if I can figure out how to do that.) The videos were all amazing this year, so fun to watch!!!... and of course we opened gifts. There were lots of good surprises!!!

We had so much fun with our families!!! I could
not have asked for a better day. Every year it gets better and better. After all that fun it was hard to believe that there was still MORE to look
forward too. We were so excited to get home so Santa could come!

I borrowed my parent's 'Night Before Christmas' book that my Dad used to read to us on Christmas Eve. It was fun to have Logan read the same book to our kids. Wesley got kicked out after a few minutes though... he was grabbing the book too much!

Christmas Morning!

Baby's First Christmas!

Wesley had a ball sucking on everything. It was hard keep
track of what he had in his mouth considering all the things we had on the floor.

Forget the toys. All he wanted was wrapping paper!

We have this little door under our stairs that goes to a
closet. Since moving in I have wanted to make it a 'playroom' We already had toys in there but the back half was filled with storage bins. We decided to
surprise the boys and turn it into a playroom by emptying it out and decorating it. You should have seen the look on Wesley's face when he saw it. JUST KIDDING.

We had fun though :)

The boys spend tons of time in here now. Wesley learned

to crawl this last week and if the door is open he crawls straight to it. It is so much fun!

Baylor has a Ghostbusters obsession. He started saying
'Busters' about 3 or 4 months ago. Eventually it turned into 'BoBusters' and now it is 'GoBusters.' He loves Logan's old Ghostbusters toys from when he was little. He has been carrying them around since he was one. He talks about Ghostbusters all day long. One night he fell asleep on the floor and I moved him into his bed at 2 am and he whispered 'Gobusters' as I moved him. We never pushed this on him, he just decided he loved it on his own. Santa brought him lots of Ghostbusters toys and he was in HEAVEN! Logan made him some T-shirts and he bought the cartoon on DVD on Ebay. In this picture Baylor is watching the DVD's... are we feeding into the obsession? No not at all!

Logan always does good, getting me lots of gifts that I love! One thing I got Logan was the Moose mugs that they drink Eggnog out of on Christmas Vacation. (We love
love that movie!) This was a fun gift that we both loved.

Christmas was so great this year. I miss it! I am just now starting to accept the fact that it's over. Is it bad that I'm excited for next year already?

Hope that yours was wonderful too!!!!!

Merry Christmas! :)
