Teenager Quotes

Yesterday we were driving through town. My teenager says "Let's judge people before we see them!!!" I laughed like crazy. He wanted to guess who would be driving cars as we drove by. The way he said it was awesome.

4th of July BBQ

I love the 4th. It's so fun to get together with family & friends. Eat good food. Visit. Fireworks!!!!

I've Been Busy, Evidentally

So, I haven't posted since February.  I guess I've gotten busy with my babies.  Let's see....what's going on....

Mac is now going into Sophmore year.  Just started Driver's Ed.  I'm a bit scared.....eek!

Chase is growing up fast.  3 years old.  Full of energy!

Gabby is 7 1/2 months.  She has 2 teeth, mastered rolling and sitting.  Started waving and clapping.  Full of smiles and just a happy baby!

I'm going to try hard to blog more.  We'll see how that goes.....I can't make any promises.

Like Father, Like Son

Uncle Loren brought a cool Harley Davidson motorcycle over for Chase last week.  Chase thinks this is really cool.  Daddy decided to bring it into the house so Chase can play with it.  Chase thinks this is great.  He sits on it and watches movies.  He fixes the motorcycle.  He goes riding. He goes riding with his Angry Birds.  (or as he calls it Angry Turd Birds).  And this whole thing made me remember back to when Jeff got his new motorcycle.  This was back in the pre-garage days. And we all know that when you have a new toy you really need to play with it!! 

Riding Angry Bird Style!



Daddy's motorcycle in the livingroom.

I was not home this day.  I guess now I know the kinds of things that happen when I'm gone.  To be fair, he had power washed it at the shop before bringing it in the house.  LOL 

Happy New Year! It's 2012!

Christmas!

Christmas Day is always so fun.  Santa showes up sometime when everyone is sleeping to drop off presents and eat cookies.  Presents are opened. Cinnamon rolls are eaten.  Candy is eaten.  A giant mess of wrapping paper is made. Everyone has fun

Christmas Morning!

Gabby's first Christmas Morning!

Chase picked that shirt for Mackenzy.  Chase loves Angry Birds!

Roar!

Ready to sled!

Sledding is awesome!

Gonna get some 4 wheeler action in today!

Christmas Eve

I love Christmas.  I like for my kiddos to experience the magic of Christmas.  Christmas Eve we load up in the car and drive around looking at pretty Christmas lights.  We return home to put on our Christmas jammies and leave cookies out for Santa.  Chase was very into Santa this year. He was super excited to visit the big man. Everytime he saw him on TV or in a book he would be excited exclaiming "Santa Claus!"  I love it!  I remember back when Mackenzy was this excited on Christmas Eve. Leaving out the cookies and then waking up early on Christmas morning to check and see if Santa had eaten them. Such wonderful memories that I hope he remembers and loves as much as I do.  He gets to help make new memories of this magic for his brother and sister.  Christmas has a new kind of magic for him, but I hope it is just as wonderful.

Ready to go look at Christmas lights!

Putting out cookies for Santa

Maybe Santa will leave me a cookie!
