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! =)

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween. We came home with enough candy to put back in the bowl and redistribute! I think the boys have perfected the art of begging...especially Firefighter Ty. =)

Open your eyes...

So I told Ty to open his eyes for the picture and here is what I got...

Shake your goove thang...

We went to my cousins wedding last weekend and let me just say, Aaron is quite the ladies man! I know it's a little dark, but the boy is completely surrounded by girls and he stayed that way pretty much all night. He kept asking different girls to dance and of course they said yes. He's got the moves for sure! Here's a little sample...Enjoy!

This is precisely why Daddy's are supposed to build anything with more than ten pieces. Talk about a fun Sunday morning for the boys!
