01.03.2013 Goofing around with Grandma and Grandpa.

Grandma and Grandpa are easily persuaded by three little Deatherage grand kids.  Grandpa got roped into judging some hockey.  It sounds easy but if you think of two little Brian's on opposite teams then you understand why judging can be a heated job.  Grandma and Mom worked on some beautiful jewelry and book marks, hand crafted and personalized.

So the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  My sweet Mom had a chance to visit all four of her children over the month of December.  We all donned our red and did our best to get our Grandma approved picture.  We all tease my mom relentlessly prior, during and even after the pictures but they are always some of my favorites!

Christmas Eve! 12.24.2012

 

 

 

 

 

For Christmas Eve I make my family (Brian) suffer through several timed shots until we get a MOMMY approved family picture.  Really I love the collection of them just as much as I love the perfect one.  I love that I get to capture a moment in time.

A present for mom... 12.24.2012

 

Sweet Colton made a present for me by himself and wrapped it by himself.  He was so excited about it I picked it for the present I open on Christmas eve.  Be still my heart.  This mommy gig is the best!

First Ski Trip of the Year! 12.2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look at all these little skiers! The excitement started at the ski swap we hit in November.  Jace, Jillian and Colton all got to pick helmets and ski goggles.  That night Jace almost slept in his helmet.  They would play around the house in their helmets pretending they were skiing.  Then finally the day came and we got to rent some skis.  Jace was so motivated he was putting on every ski boot he could find at the rental shop.  I thought without a doubt he would be flying down the mountain in no time!  He got out of the car with a big grin, I got his mittens on, boots on... snapped a picture with the big grin.  He took one more step and saw the ski hill and that was it for Jace's Skiing debut.  He was content in the car the rest of the day.  Jillian was suited up by Daddy and she loved how she looked in all her ski gear!  She was content making snow angles and throwing snowballs at any of her boys that came close.  She didn't even get her skis on.  Colton looked good in his skis and he put them on and used them too!  It was a great day!
