Little snaggle tooth!

At Colton's birthday party.

Looking all grown up in his new shirt.

Silly boys.

Just hanging out in the dryer.

He's a french fry walrus.

Squeaker's favorite toy...a plastic sack!

I feel super protected with these two ninjas!

Caleb and his pal Maddie playing at church.

Caleb and his friend Carson.  I just noticed that Caleb's shirt in inside out and backwards!  Haha!

He loves "the kitty".

Working on his golf game.

So handsome and grown up.

But he still sleeps with lots of stuffed animals. ;-)

They made a pallet in Ethan's room and watched a movie on Mondo's ipad.

Caleb made him a birthday crown and staff.

Doesn't everyone ride their bike with a cape? ;-)

Ethan's 9th Birthday

My first tiny baby turned 9 on January 26.  I say it every year but I can't believe how old he is getting!  It seems like yesterday that I saw that positive test and here he is almost in double digits!  My little Ethan-poo, you are so smart and funny and want to be grown up so bad.  You wonder who your wife will be, when you'll get married, and where you will live.  I tell you all the time to enjoy being young and care free!  You'll understanding that when you're an adult. ;-)  As of today, you either want to be an "army guy" or a police officier with a german shephard.

He requested a "military" cake.  I found this Lego set and decided to but it on the cake and it would also be his present.  But I underestimated how long it would take me to put together...it took THREE HOURS to assemble that thing!  It doesn't look like that many pieces but I assure you it has cabillion!

He had a slumber party with a few friends.  There were only a few boys but it was wild!  I told him maybe next year he can pick ONE friend to take to dinner and have spend the night!  The boys were: Colton, Will, Brock, Tyler, and Jacob.

And let's not forget a friend for Caleb!  His buddy Carson (Colton's little brother) stayed the night too!  Yes, I'm crazy!

Opening presents.

Playing with the presents.

I let Caleb and Carson play as much Wii as they wanted to keep them separated from the big boys. :-)

New Year's Eve

We went to Rolling Hills for New Year's Eve with our friends Kristy and Jeffrey.  We had a great time eating a yummy dinner and doing some dancing!

Me and my girl Kristy.

Me and my hunny.

Mondo, Jeffrey, Jared, and one of our friends from the club.

 

Me and my childhood friend Jeffrey...who still lives a few streets away from me!

Christmas!

We were excited to have Christmas back at my parent's house this year.  We didn't do the full turkey and dressing menu like usual though since Mom and Dad were still recovering from various surgeries.  It was more of a potluck lunch but still with some of our old favorites.

Hooray for a decent family photo!

 

Yummo!  The snack area is all everyone wants anyway. ;-)

These are my all time favorites!  Home made truffles from Aunt Melinda.  Yum!!

Time for presents!

Duck Dynasty blankets from Nana and Papa.  Ethan still sleeps with his every night.

Flashlight friends!

Checking the computer to see where Santa is.

Sprinkling reindeer food in Nana's front yard.

Don't forget to sprinkle a little on the roof!

Milk and cookies for Santa.

Toys from Santa!

The Flippies hats were all the rage. ;-)

Caleb was super excited to finally get a fart gun!

Secret spy stuff.

Mondo and I look forward to this every year....Christmas morning breakfast!

Playing with his Christmas presents. :-)

Bass Pro/Gaylord

Every year we go to Bass Pro Shop to see Santa and then to the Gaylord hotel to take pictures around all of the Christmas decor.  And hopefully one of those pictures turns into a Christmas card photo.  :-)

Hanging around and playing while we waited to see Santa.

Giving Santa a high 5.

I don't know how many more years I will have where they will actually want to go see Santa. :-/

Writing their letters to Santa to send to the North Pole.

Mommy might have slipped in and taken the letters back out to keep. :-)

They love to climb and play on the boats.

Gaylord Hotel

There might have been some bribery to get them to smile for all of these pictures...
