Christmas Whirlwind...

Well life has been such a whirlwind lately, mainly the last few days- I don’t even know where to start :)!!
I guess I’ll start with Christmas eve, Mom, Micah, Brodey, A.J., Dana, Amber, Drew and I spent most of the day at the Valley Mall, Wal-Mart, Costco & Fred Meyer doing some last minute (actually starting) Christmas shopping. Strangely enough it was pretty fun, not a ton of people and some pretty good deals as well. I then left the family went to Mike’s Great Grandma’s house for a few hours before picking Kaylen up & heading home around 11:30pm. Then for some reason I couldn’t sleep- I’m not sure if it was Kaylen, Amber and Ernie all taking up my bed or the excitement for Christmas either way I was up till 4:30 am! Christmas morning at our house has never been a real scheduled thing, it’s when everyone gets up we open presents! So we opened presents about 10am, had our traditional “Breakfast Bake” (Eggs, Bacon & Toast baked- It’s pretty good). By 12:30pm we were all ready for a short nap (Although Kaylen & I slept much longer) before dinner, movies & games. The Kids went down and the big kids were ready to play :). I’m not sure what possessed us, maybe the pot or two of coffee we drank around 12am, but Dana, A.J., Micah, Brodey, Mike & I decided to stay up all night! After a game of Apples to Apples (which I won :), 2 games of Disney Princess Memory (which was very entertaining) & several games of Boxers or Briefs it was time to move the party outside!! Yes, at 3 am we went sledding!! Off the roof of the garage, down the driveway, Hooky Bobbing around Herman Lake road and back home around 5:00am. It was time to watch a movie (which only I made it through), everyone finally started disappearing or snoring which ever came first by 6:00am. Mom woke up about 7:30am and kicked A.J., Micah, Brodey & I out of the living room so she could start her day!! All of that to say…. Anyone have a better Idea for New Years?? Just kidding, I Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas- I truly enjoyed every minute of mine!

P.S. Not a whole lot of pictures go along with this, being that we laughed so hard & were to distracted to go get a camera!!

My cup of tea...

Well so I decided since I had Boogie & Monster Tuesday evening I would take advantage & get some pictures. Being that some of my friends are such great Photographers, I decided to steal a few of their ideas i.e. The big tea cup (which he loved sitting in :)
Now I know my camera is cheap compared to ya'll's but I still can't resist this sweet smiling face!!
Enjoy :)

He reminds me of my dad sitting in his Lazy Boy- Drew is just such a relaxed baby!!

Amber didn't want her picture taken

She loves to show off her 'Teef'

Grr... Auntie... Grr

Yep I tried to find a racecar, but hopefully he's still young enough to not care theres a flower!!

I felt bad leaving him sitting in the grass so I put him on the blanket & he made this face

He laughed so hard he practiclly fell over!

This boy has a belly laugh like no other baby I've ever met!!

This face always makes me laugh!!

(My personal fav!!)

This is his 'flirty' look he does- it's just loveable what can I say!!

Thanks ya'll for the pictures that I steal your ideas from :)

Now I just have to get some pictures of K N (as amber calls her)- I haven't seen her in like 3 weeks, and it seems like forever!!

Sittin on the pot...

Hey ya'll I just wanted to post this picture of Ernie from friday. Since I don't have kids to take pictures of this is the next best thing for me :)!! He knew he wasn't suppose to be there, but I couldn't pass up taking this picture so I didn't even yell at him.. since he was being oh so cute :)!!

Gives "sittin on the pot" a whole new meaning

P.S. Lance was right this is addicting... but don't tell him I said he was right, we don't want him to think that it may happen again :)!!!
