A few comparisons. . .

So I thought it would be fun to compare the 3 boys at about the same ages!  A lot of people say they all look just alike, but they sure do have their own unique little looks! Loved going back and looking at these pictures!

Our Christmases in Pictures!

I know this blog post is a little late- but better late than never, right?!  I was busy over break soaking up all the time I could with my 4 loves!  Our Christmas was absolutely wonderful.  So much to be thankful for and we feel truly blessed to have such an amazing family.  Traditions are being started and family time is the best!
Below are just a few--ok maybe more than a few--pictures of our Christmases!
Santa came a little early to the Baughman household!
Out little peanut just soaking it all in!
Kellen looking at his new books before continuing on with his other presents
break time 
New light up superman snow boots!
All Carson and Kellen wanted for Christmas was a big combine. . . .
AND that's just what they got!
checking out their new toy!

The Sunday before Christmas we always have the Ahrenholtz Christmas out at my Grandpa Bill and Grandma Louise's house.  It's so weird to say Louise because it's 'WEEZIE' or 'Wee-Wee' in our house!  I absolutely love this Christmas because it's everyone makes an effort to be there.  My mom is the middle child of 5 children, there are 17 grandchildren, and I think Cruz made number 21 of the greats!  We were missing 1 cousin and 5 greats; it was a fun, chaotic, crazy house for a couple of hours!
Sisters!
Grandpa Bill with Kellen and Addison
All the GREATS that were there!

Mommy and Cruz
Carson loves to hold his brother any chance he can get!

Christmas Eve day was spent with Gabe's family celebrating Christmas!  We woke up, had breakfast, and the kids patiently waited to start opening gifts!  Stocking are a big thing at his parents house- have always been my favorite part! :)  Grandma Lori started by reading a Christmas story and then the kids dug in to their stockings and gifts!

Christmas morning we woke up my parents house and did gifts!  It was a very fun, relaxing day of hanging out in our pj's and playing.  
Carson was so pumped to get his own weights from Justin and Christin!  
Such a happy baby!
Mommy and Cruzers!

Kellen is 2

Where to even start with Kellen?  He is our fearless fireball!  He came into this world a fighter and hasn't stopped!  He has a sweet, spunky personality and keeps us all on our toes!  He is very independent and likes to do most things by himself.
A few of Kellen's accomplishments in his 2 years of life:
Talks all the time- he puts 2-4 word sentences together and you can understand most of what he says- if you can't understand him, you ask Carson what he's saying! :)
He loves to play with whatever Carson is playing with.  When he is home by himself, he often is lost and unsure of what to do.
He LOVES to read- he could read all day- the same book- over and over and over!
He loves tractors, combines, and trains.
He loves any food with frosting, chocolate. . . . sugar----takes after his Mommy!
Constantly is getting bruises by his falls or running into things, ect.
He is still in diapers- will go potty if you ask him, but has no interest yet.
He loves his big brother and his little brother- he shows his love by hitting, biting, pushing, ect. Needless to say, he is a little aggressive; but can be very sweet and offers hugs and kisses if he does something to hurt someone.
He sleeps on a full bed underneath Carson (they share a bunk) and does very well when he stays in bed.  He has been getting up 2--4 times a night for the last few months and just will walk in and try and crawl in bed with us- we are very good about getting him back into his bed and not letting him camp out in our room.
His molars have been coming in for about 4 months now- they have been pretty bothersome for him; hoping the last one breaks through soon and they all finish coming in.
Can't imagine life without him! He fills us up and keeps us going! :)  Love you Kellen!


Such a cheeser!
Caught in the act!
Loves running around with no pants on!
