My latest activity....
























This is my latest activity......my mom has to "lock" the refrigerator door......the last one is how I act when my mom and dad make me stop grocery shopping.......

Ahhhh....the joys of being one!

I love my new toy box!!


Since my mom has OCD and can't stand clutter - I have a new toy box to put all my "stuff" in.....of course, I had to try it out first and it works! Yiiipppppeeeeee!!!!! I love it!!!!! More importantly - my mom LOVES it!!


Ahhh...what a cutie!


My latest creation....I felt bad for Matt this month - there have been some COLD days and he has had to be outside a lot...so, I whipped (knitted) up a little something for him to protect his baby face...he is thrilled!!


Happy Birthday Uncle Rossy!













The funny thing about the picture with the kids is that Carlee had a pants full of stinky and Uncle Ross could barely stand it!  After the picture was taken Ross literally shoved her off of his lap.....but, too late, she had left him a little present on his jeans.  Wish you all could have been here for that!!! To Uncle Rossy from Carlee - what a special birthday gift!

Happy New Year!!!






























This was what we were doing when the clock struck midnight...

Carlee - sleeping
Vanna - sleeping
Me - Drinking a glass of wine and eating chocolate chip cookies....

Cayden and Matt - you guessed it...firebugs! Setting off fireworks......

Hope you all had a wonderful New Year's!

A genuine mess.....












Uhhh....I told Carlee to "go get her clothes".....probably the last time I tell her that.  I wasn't specific enough on "one" item of clothing....she is really into going through cabinets and drawers right now.  I guess I should say cleaning out cabinets and drawers.....we settled on her new "smoking jacket" with matching pj's......ahh.....

Wichita Ink....kind of




Look at these tough guys......

Christmas morning....















The kids are at wonderful ages right now...Cayden and Vanna were so excited they could hardly stand it.  Carlee wasn't too sure yet about it all - but, she was trying to take pictures of it all (she's like her mom - you can NEVER have enough pictures!) Santa was very good to all of them!

Christmas 2008 - Misc. pictures








A little help from SpongeBob......



 How many people does it take to get a Grandpa with a new prosthetic leg down the stairs?  5 + a twin size SpongeBob sheet covered mattress used as a sleigh...it worked perfectly.  We are working on the patent...you saw it here first!  I vaguely remember doing this as kids - but, it went a lot faster and we are lucky to still be alive....Chad tried to get him to make noises like a motorcycle as he was going down - but, he wasn't cooperating...it was hilarious!

Getting ready for Christmas....




Just some random pics of the kiddos during this holiday.....
