White Christmas
We had a white Christmas in 2010! So beautiful.
Here's hoping we get another one next year. Of course after we have plenty of sunshine and warm weather for a while. I mean, you can only handle so much cold... :)
Opening Christmas Gifts!
These are so late, but I guess my first trimester has made me so out of it that I forgot about blogging. Well maybe I didn't forget, but I have been pretty lazy the last several week. Exhaustion would be a good way to put it. Anyway, I wanted to add some pics of the kids and their Christmas.
Monster Jam!! Those trucks are this kids obsession and he watches at least part of this every single day. Thanks Nana and PawPaw.
Santa came!! How exciting!
We made cookies for Santa and he ate them all. Must have been yummy...
Check it out mom! Would you believe we had to wake him up? He wanted no part of getting out of bed either. He is truly my child.
Probably his favorite gift form Santa. He loves his scooter. It was snowing on Christmas so he had to ride it in the kitchen. He is such a safety nut, had to put that helmet on!
Blake stayed with his mom this Christmas Eve, so he didn't get home til around 12 to see what he got. He was thrilled though!
Gift from mom and dad. Tickets to go to Monster Jam on February 12th! Complete with pit passes. I think Lucas may pass out when he meets Grave Digger.Next year at Christmas we will have three kiddies to buy for. Guess I should start saving now...

Happy New Year
Happy New Year!!!
New Years Resolutions suck in my opinion.
If you really want to do something to better yourself, shouldn't you start by NOT putting it off until the first of the year?
OK, I will stop preaching and admit that I am just as guilty.
Every year I try and make a resolution. Go on a diet, make better choices, try and make some extra money, cut coupons... all that typical stuff that everyone says EVERY year.
My family (just the four of us), have been in the mountains for the last couple of days. There is nothing like quality family time in my opinion. Isn't it funny how true this is, yet we tend to forget it until we actually take the time to do it again?
So this New Year, I vow to make more moments like these. I vow to be the best mom and wife I can be. To be there for my husband and be his rock. To cuddle with my kids, no matter how big they are getting. To put down the bottle of Windex and realize that my three-year-old is showing me something that he thinks is completely amazing, and treasure the look on his face. To come to this blog and write down all of the silly things they say, to add all of the silly pictures, and to take way more video of them. They will only be this small once. It's time to sit down and forget about the tivo. It's family time.
