Tatum's new little looks

I curled Tatum's hair for the first time. She really liked it too.

Here is the back or side I guess. Usually it's much straighter.

The other night after dinner and jammie's...she insisted on putting on this. The hat from her great grandma Cox and a swimming suit. We thought it was pretty funny.

She got some dress-up clothes from her papa Burk. Every night we have been playing dress-up. She puts all her necklaces and bracelets on. She is so girl, loves to play with her babies and make-up, and her dresses, but still plays hard with the boys!

Christams

I figured that it is better late than never to finally document Christmas to you all. Our Christmas morning started off like this....... Big Paper!

Well here was the kids first look at Christmas morning. It's been the tradition to "barricade" the kids from the tree. Chris had this tradition growing up.

Tatum got a Pink Tonka Truck. She loved it too. Chris and I painting it from the yellow and black to the pink and black. Sounds easier than it really was!

Tucker was so excited to get his Optimus Prime! That is all he wanted and he was so surprised!

Trenton got a new BB Gun. Tucker also got one so there would not be any fighting!

Tatum was the first one to open this year. The boys helped and the fist thing she said was, "Pink"! Then she pushed it down the hallway and back. So cute.

Part of the CLUB!

Trenton is now in the club of the losing teeth! He lost his first about a month ago. Chris pulled it out with a paper towel, well after 4 attempts. Then he lost hi 2ND one last week. He let mom pull that one also with a paper towel. (better grip) Anyways he was so tough because what kid will let you try 4 to 6 time to pull on a tooth when it hurts? He is so big, my baby is so big!

Pictures Finally!

So here it is...our new home! We are so happy to be in it and we love is so far. It is about 25 minutes from Prescott so we have to drive in a lot, but we like it! In the valley that's a normal commute everyday.

Funny how I put the pantry on first, but it's huge and we can fit the world in here!

This is a view from the living room into the kitchen.

Here is from the top of our backyard. It tress' up. Where the green plant is...that's where I want to put in our garden in the spring! So the yard is not as big as we would have liked...we wanted an acer or so, but we weren't finding the house we wanted with the land, so we settled for the house with a decent yard!

Looking right out the back door. It also goes about 15 yards behind me. Like in the picture above. SHED! We have a shed!

View from the dining room. Our new pre-lite Christmas tree. (got it on clearance last year at Sam's Club, yeah, deal)! Our new couch is so comfortable!

View from living room into dining room. Love our high table!

Our enormous hallway! This is the perfect track and sliding area for the 3 kiddos! It's bigger that it looks in the picture I think.

So there are no curtains yet and no rugs, but they'll come. I would show you the bedrooms, but they are all works in progress. They are painted and set up, but not how they will finally be. My brother-in-law is going to be putting in shelves in the boys room and wanes coating in Tatum's room. Our room and bathroom are almost done too. So when they are completed, I'll post them!

We hope everyone has a great Holiday and we miss you all!!!!!!

The HOUSE is your's LEGLER'S! FINALLY:)

We finally, finally, finally closed on our house. Although not one pic to prove it. Those will come later when I complete projects. We were in escrow for 8 weeks (3 weeks longer than we were told we would be), but we got our keys and we are on a roll. The boys' room and Tatum's room are finally painted. We started on our room tonight. Today I did nothing but clean ALL day. The house was built on 2005 so it's not like the cleaning was horrible, but you want to make sure everything is sanitized and up to your own satisfaction. Well now it's almost there until we get everything moved in. We decided to try to get all the painting and cleaning done before we make the big move. We are in a really good situation right now because we are not being pushed out of where we are living, so it makes things easier. We bought a new dinning room table and ordered a couch that should arrive tomorrow. Next we just need a washer and dryer. It's so much fun doing all this, yet the most difficult decisions ever! We are so blessed though!

U2 was AMAZING!

We were so lucky on Tuesday night because we were able to go see U2 in concert at Univ. of PHX stadium. This was our first U2 concert ever and it was awesome. This is a pic of Bono. He is kind of behind his microphone so look hard! We sat in the high seats, but it was still amazing. We loved every minute of this concert even if it started at 7 pm and U2 didn't come onto the stage until 9:15 pm. The Blackeyed Peas opened for them and they did great too.


This is us waiting for it to start. W took 4 pics and every one of them Chris was unable to keep his eyes open with the flash. So this is the best one with his eyes somewhat open. Ha Ha! It was so fun to be there together, I love this boy so much!

Thanks to my sister, Melanie and then grandpa Burk we were able to leave the kiddos up in Prescott. We didn't get home until 1:40 am and Chris had a FULL day of work the next day. We would do it again in a heartbeat, except we'd get closer seats!:)

Our family outing to Windmill Farms

We took the kids to Windmill Farms this past Saturday. We wanted to go somewhere else from where Trenton went on his field trip. Chris was not to happy that I made us all ride on a really DUSTY hay ride. This is his face during the ride.

We went with my brother and his little family. They have three kids also. So we got all the cousins together on the pumpkins to take a picture. Look at Tatum trying to sit on the pumpkin when it's about the height of her legs, ha ha.

Here is our little fam. Unfortunately Tucker didn't want to take the picture. Chris basically had to hold him there. Oh well.
