Finnean Michael Wagler-3 year photo shoot

We took Finnean's pictures over Thanksgiving weekend in Bloomfield.  It was a beautiful, warm and sunny day.  Perfect day to capture our big man and all of his smiles!

So happy!

Love this one of Finnean and Jerry.  It is weird how Finnean can look so young in this picture and then in another look so old!

This is one of my favorites from the day.  Love the colors and his look. 

Sweet boy!

This one is perfect for his cowboy birthday party!! He did this on his own, silly boy!

He looks so old in this one!

Those dimples!

O Christmas Tree!

This is Finnean using his "binoculars" to make sure that Michael is putting the star on straight!!

HA! I love this picture.  Very telling of the end of our decorating night.  Finnean was a bit grumpy and I love Michael's look.  Hutch is even saying "what's his issue?"

My sweet Hutchinson.

Finnean the happy reindeer!!

Family photo minus Hutchinson :)

LOVE this one of the boys.  Finnean was so excited to help put the star on top!

The Wagler's 2011
(It is hard to believe that just one year ago little Hutch was a TINY peanut in my belly...so weird!)

Sweet boys. 

The Mineart's visit Iowa!

Eric (blue shirt) is a friend of Michael's from Savannah.  He has some family that live in Iowa and we were so excited to get to see them while they were here.  Scott (red shirt) is Eric's brother and him and his wife just had a baby a month after we had Hutchy.  It was fun to see them and their growing family.  I love this picture of all the Dad's reading to the little boys!
(Scott, Lucas, Eric, Taylor, Finnean, Michael and Hutchy)  Taylor is getting a little sister here anytime now :)

Family.

I am blessed to say that this is my little family. 
Love these boys!

Finnean in November!

Check out Finnean's awesome cutting skills!  He cut up this strawberry all by himself!  He loves to chop and dice.  Don't worry, he doesn't have a sharp knife, it is amazing what you can cut with a kid's butter knife! It is just his size!

Practice shot for our Christmas card photo shoot...just too sweet to delete!

I have been obsessed with his profile since the day he was born. Can you see why!?  It is just so sweet!

He has so many different expressions.  He is just so full of life! 

Hutchinson in November!

All of these were taking in the month of November.  I just love how he is starting to get different expressions and just getting so big!

Lego world!

Everytime we go to Bloomfield, Grandma and Poppa have a whole room that has been taken over by Legos, the boys get to building "the whole world!"  This was taken over Thanksgiving and somehow this is the only picture from that weekend!?!?

Boys, boys, Wagler Boys.

Patty caking with Hutchy.

The play gym was built for one but I always find TWO little Waglers under it :)

Snuggling up Mom.

One of my FAVORITE pictures of these boys!  Love how Finnean has his arm around Hutchinson and that smile, it is just awesome.

First Snow 2011 (I think...)

I am pretty sure that November 9th was our first snow.  Anyway, Finnean loved it weather it was the first or not!  He really wanted to go outside and play in it!  It was nice so we could take Hutchy out with us!

Thumbs up for snow!

Love his dimples!

This is the best picture of Hutchy I got from that day!  His little hat reminds me of Where's Waldo!

Finnean playing away, as H and I watch :)

Grady turns Three!

On November 7th, Grady (Finnean's Favorite Friend) turned three!  It has been so fun watching him grow and being apart of his first three years. 

We started off at the Windsor Heights Fire Station.  The fire fighters are so nice and the boys had so much fun!  Hudson (the blondie) is one of Finnean's other good friends!

Then we headed to McDonald's (Grady's fav lunch spot!) for a little lunch.  It is a tough challenge to get both boys to smile at the same time :)

Hutchy looks so little!

On the Sunday after Grady's birthday we headed to the McDonald's play place for his birthday party!  All of the boys had a great time running and playing!

All the ladies!

Grady had a dinosaur party!  Check out these adorable hats that Stephanie made! 

Hutchy and Daddy getting a little snuggle time in.  Geez, those cheeks are so big!!

Finnean, the ALMOST three year old!

Hutch, the dino!

Bloomfield trip

At the beginning of November, we went back to Bloomfield while Michael got us moved back to our house from the Clubhouse.  It was nice to go home to a put back together house!  Thank you Michael Wagler!!!

Hutchy getting some of his many snuggles from Grandma Lisa.  He loves snuggling with her and LOVES to fall asleep on her should.  She has the touch!

Lego time with Adam, Maddy, Hutchy, Carter and Finnean

Hanging with Uncle Adam

Finnean and his family checking out pictures of his Daddy's past.  It is amazing how much he looks like his Daddy!!

The little owl.

So I could post 50 pictures of Hutchinson as an owl but I won't.  I can't get over how stinkin' cute he was!!!  Love this little owl-perfect 1st Halloweeen!

Hutchy is FIVE MONTHS...what?!

Hutchinson turned five months old the day after Christmas.  It is absolutely amazing how fast the past five months have gone.  Okay, the first 6-8 weeks took a while due to all the screaming but after that it has just been flying!!  Hutch continues to steal our hearts and has turned into quite the little person.  He has an awesome laugh.  If you can get him to do it, it is just one of the best parts of my day.  He made the most of his last few days as a four month old.  He threw up for the first time (awesome, huh?)  We thought he might have had a virus but turns out he was getting a TOOTH!  Sweet boy, we didn't even know it and we found it on the 23rd, already popped through.  He had is first Christmas (more on that later), tried his first fruit (bananas) and LOVED them and has become a rolling machine.  He goes from belly to back like a pro and really has no interest of being on his belly at all!  He is soooo close to going from back to belly, soon enough he will just be rolling where ever he wants to go!  He can scoot himself in a circle and really moves when he is on the floor.  He loves watching Finnean play and you can really tell he is excited to play Legos with Dad and Finnean.  Hutchinson LOVES his big bro.  He gladly accepts all of the too close conversations that Finnean has with him and watches his every move.  They melt my heart when they "talk" to each other and when Finnean makes Hutchy smile.  Hutch always smiles when you fake sneeze and that is how I get him to smile for the camera most times, it is ridiculously cute.  He has decided that he really isn't a fan of his car seat.  That makes going places interesting but we are managing!  He has tried apples and bananas, both of which is loves and is getting much better at keeping the food IN his mouth.  Hutchinson also has found out that toys are fun!  He loves to pat and bang on them while they make music.  He favorite thing to do right now is chew on his new toy, Sophie the Giraffe (best teether ever)!  Napping is going well (most of the time anyway, when Hutch doesn't talk his Daddy into holding him for a snooze!!)  We are loving life and just trying to enjoy each moment with these two sweet boys!
