It was a fun, snowy day....

We had a great Christmas this year. The boys got everything their little hearts desired. Carter didn't get 98% of what he asked for but was still surprised and happy with what he did get. Between Jared's family and mine, we have been driving around like crazy to meet up with everyone. It's been worth it even with all of this crazy snow!! My sister Cassie and her family got to be here for Christmas, so we have been able to spend a lot of fun days with them. Carter was soooo excited to finally hang out with his cousin Mitch. I too had a great Christmas this year. I usually don't have any surprises, but I did this year. That was FUN. I am just starting to get over feeling so guilty about everything I bought for myself before Christmas, thinking that I wasn't getting any surprises. Okay, I am over it!! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. I guess it's time to take down all of the decor and clean up.

All I Want For Christmas...

Jared took the boys and I out to dinner Friday night and then to Sam's Club to get a "few" things. Is it ever a few things as Sam's?? Anyways, they have a few long isles full of FUN toys, video games, movies, (the coolest kitchen set ever), and all sorts of fun stuff for any kid. My boys were so excited, so right when we got home I had them write their Christmas Lists. Rook's was the typical anything that had to do with Indiana Jones. I believe his list was around 7 items. And then there is Carter's list!!!!!!!! I just double checked and there are a total of 35 items! He starts out with an ipod shuffle, a real guitar, movies, football cards and jerseys, and then he goes on and on to ask for....a little fridge, room service, a laptop, a plasma t.v. for his bedroom, and my favorite--hair highlights. I guess it's a good thing Aunt Audrey has his name for Christmas. hint..hint.. I am not sure where those last several ideas came from, but he will not be getting a plasma for his bedroom, nor the fridge, and he already has room service if you ask me. Jared and I have a lot to teach that one. Wish us luck!

Trick-OR-Treat

I know that everyone is probably bored of the Halloween thing, but the boys were excited about it. Carter is a vampire and Rook is Darth Vador. The picture with Rook in the middle of two friends was taken at pre-school. (That vampire is not Carter)

The kids had a good time trick-or-treating and we finished off the night by going to see two of their Grandmas at my Grandma Fern's house. They LOVE getting to see their cousins.

Now I am looking around this house wishing all the Halloween decorations were down and put away. I hate that part :(

On to Thanksgiving!!

Takin' Out The Trash...

We went to a Halloween Party Saturday night and had way too much fun. Everyone was supposed to dress up as "white trash". Chris and Erin were a hit! They were the big winners. Chris stole the show. It was hilarious! There were lots of others who dressed up to make it fun too.

Six Shots and No Tears!

Today was not a good day for Rook. I gave him heads up yesterday that he was going to get his immunizations today and he kept telling me no way and if I take him to get shots, then he won't live with me anymore! He likes to threaten me. Anyways, he was so nice and brave the whole time we were waiting. Then we went into the room...I got my flu shot first and then they gave him 5 immunizations and 1 flu shot. He did Great! Six shots and Zero tears! I was so proud of Rookie and even a little shocked. :)

Complications

I have an obsession with owls, so my sister and I tried switching over to this background not knowing that I would have complications. I am in the middle of trying to figure things out to make it look right, so hang in there and I will be back to "normal" soon.
