Smile for the day...

For those of you who don't know, Aaron is the most completely honest and literal person I know. Today I was getting him ready for school and I said "Hurry up honey, I'm need to run you up to the school." He got a little upset and replied, "I don't want to run, I just want to drive!" I love this kid...he makes me smile everyday. =)

Happy New Year!

I don't really know the reason behind everyone watching a giant ball drop on new years, but we stayed up to watch it anyway. It's kinda' weird when you think about it huh? Hope 2010 is filled with much love and joy to all of our family and friends...

"Holy Moly It's Snow!"

The boys had their first glimpse of snow today and to say they were excited is an understatement. Ty kept saying "Holy Moly it's snow!" As soon as Aaron saw the slight dusting on the side of the road, he wanted to pull over and make a snow man.

Aaron eating his snowball. We had to teach him not eat the yellow snow...then of course, he had to make a little of his own. =)

We did some sledding (on an air mattress), built a really sad attempt at a snow man (they are a lot harder to make than they look!), made snow angels and all the usual fun stuff.

I think we made it about 2 hours before the boys were freezing and "done with the snow". It was sure fun while it lasted though!

Merry Christmas!

Our Holiday season was a great one this year. The kids are at such a fun age and they really appreciate all of the small things that make holidays special...gingerbread houses, Xmas cookies, decorations, lights and especially all of the "blow ups" on the front lawns. This year, we really tried to concentrate on spending time with our family and getting back to basics. It turned out really nice.

Another Christmas come and gone...my, how time flies! Have a great New Year!

"Look at me Mom, I'm like Papa!"

Ty is officially all "inked" up. He wanted to be like Papa Carl (Jeremy's Dad) so bad, he did his own tattoo. He said he drew a sun and wrote his name. He was so proud of himself too! That's what I get for not listening to the silence in the house... =)

Oh, the excitement!

Ok, so we decided to begin all of the holiday preparations a little early this year. Obviously the kids were thrilled...especially Aaron. We (I say we but I mean Jeremy) got the tree and assorted decor down from the attic and voila... Aaron was out of this world excited. The boy LOVES Christmas!

To be fair, Ty was happy too. He must of said "Is Santa coming down the chimney yet?" at least 20 times. I say "No, not yet...not until Christmas honey." He says"Why?". I say "Because it's not Christmas yet." He says "Why?". This went on and on and on. We may have to fake Christmas early this year to preserve our sanity!

On a serious note for a minute here, I have to say kids sure do bring the joy into the Holiday season. I had a smile on my face all day watching those two in their Santa hats...oh and Jeremy in his hat too! =)
