Happy Birthday Gammee Linda!

Love you Gammee Linda! We hope you have a special day.

Doctor Doctor...give me the news...

We went to visit the doctor today. My sister had her 4 month check and I was there for my 3 year check. Yep, that's right...my 3 year check up. I'm turning 3 years old on Monday the 25th and I couldn't be more excited for birthday cake and candles.

I was filling in sister with the low down on these doctor visits.

What do you do when you, your mom and your sister are stuck in the doctor's office for about 2 hours? You break out the camera and take some fun shots.

Reesing before she got her shots...happy baby.

Mom, have I told you I'm bored and ready to go home yet because I thought I just did and still we sit here and wait.

Mom and I entertaining ourselves and passing time.

Both of us chilling before we got our shots. We were not so relaxed after the big needles entered & left the room. Dang, that hurts every time.

Happy Birthday Momma!

Mom celebrated her 29th birthday again today for like the 4th year in a row now!
Happy Birthday to my special momma! We love you lots!

One of my favorite things to do

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Well, Santa made it through the snow storm and found our house on Christmas morning. Mother nature left us our own little present on Christmas morning....tons and tons of snow. Below is a picture looking out our garage to the driveway, which has disappeared under the deep drifts of snow.

Out back.

What do boys (both big and small) do with lots of snow?! Build a cool huge fort, with tunnels, of course.


Dad digging out the fort.

Too much fun! Thanks Dad for helping me build the coolest fort on the block. .

Christmas Take 4

After New Year's holiday passed my mom's side of the family got together for some more holiday cheer. Nothing like celebrating for all 12 days of Christmas, well at least it seemed. We went to my Uncle Scott's house and also gathered with my Aunt Julie's family. A good time was had by all. Again, thanks for the hospitality! It was a lot of fun.

My cousin Kate in her "peace & love" Snuggie.

More presents to open ~ Yea! And another present that makes noise ~ double yea!

My cousin Makayla can ALWAYS be found lovin' on Reesing.

Aunt Julie & my cousin Brad, who is a Senior in high school. Aunt Julie seems to think something is funny...Brad does not.

We got "Kate bug" a new hat. She looks super cool in it.

Makayla in her new purple hat that already matches her shirt.

Christal in her new pink hat. My cousin, Christal Eve, actually celebrated her 13th birthday on Christmas Eve. Happy belated birthday to you Christal.

My other cousin Courtney, who is wearing a hat she got for Christmas, but not the wonderful hat we got for her! She's sportin' her new findora. Reesing got a little help in collecting all of her loot. She was in awe!

Happy 2010!

We hope that 2010 brings all of our friends and family much joy, good health and true happiness. Cheers to a New Year!

Christmas continued

Christmas #3 took place Christmas day at my Grandma Linda's house. Once everyone was able to get out of their snowed in homes we were able to make it over to Grandma's house.The whole town got mounds and mounds of snow dumped on it Christmas eve, so Dad played chauffeur to several family members because the snow was not making it too easy for everyone to get around. Regardless of the snow good times were had by all. Thanks so much for the holiday cheer Grandma Linda! Love you lots.

Take One: Picture of all 12 grandchildren...wait there's one missing. Can you guess who? Take Two: Now it's all 12 of them. I bet you can guess who didn't want in on the picture taking action!

The teenagers chatting about teenager stuff and, of course, texting and checking the phone.
