Snack Time

Somebody decided to help themselves to a snack after nap time.

"ut-oh mommy I make messes"

......................................................................................................................

i think I'm finally done trimmin the tree. After getting our Charlie Brown tree out of the box this year, I had enough of looking at that dinky small thing for the past 5 years so I bought a new one on black friday. Totally worth every penny!!

Messy but Fun

Daddy went to the Magic game last night, so we had FHE tonight and made our gingerbread house. Kids had a ton of fun, but did more eating then decorating! :) Here's it is! Ta-Dah!

Saylor said it needed a kiss because it was "cute"

Can't Sleep so I'll blog....

Up and can't sleep so what better thing to do then blog. Here's a few pictures that are feeling lonely and need some recognition :) Here's a few of our latest adventures. warning: some pictures might make you squirmy:)

The officially opening of "Elf on the Shelf"

Saylor quickly gave our "elf" the name Andy. I think because his skinny flimsy legs and arms remind her of Andy from Toy Story:)

Kortney and Christopher came in town for Thanksgiving and we headed to the beach! Had a blast!! This was the only picture I could find on my camera, pathetic! I'm kortney has some gems on her camera!

Saylor's acapella performance :)

train ride at the zoo.

We took a trip to DC to see Kortney's last volleyball game of her college career!! It was a bittersweet moment. She is amazing!

Only a few hours after flying into D.C. we ended up in the ER! Saylor smashed her little finger in the hotel door. They took the finger nail off and had to put two stitches on each side and one in the nail bed. She was soo brave, but mommy was a hysterical wreck! The cute little finger is much better and she's always telling me, " don't worry mommy the doctor said my finger nail will come back"

Hoya's #1 fan!

the girls and the rugrats

DC was so much fun and words can't describe how proud of my sister I am!!! I love you sis!

Inhale, Exhale

I feel like I can't catch up and every time I scratch off something on my "to-do" list, three more things get added! am I the only one feeling overwhelmed?! 'Tis the season!!! :))

Grateful

Today I feel blessed. And I'm grateful for these three......

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Santa

I think I've been a good girl?!:) Here's my Christmas list:

Is that too much to ask?:))....ok I'll be realistic, I'd just be happy with a new pair of these.

All Hallowes Eve

We had a great Halloween weekend. Weather was great, well a bit on the warm side, being that as a child I remember trucking through inches if not feet of snow. Saylor knew exactly how the process of Trick or Treating worked and I apologized to a few homeowners for the 20 hard pounding knocks on their door before someone would answer!:) Sawyer's little voice saying "chick or cheet" was priceless. I managed to not eat one single piece of candy which is a first, but my kids made up for it!

Whenever I put my costume on Saylor would only refer to me as "Queen of Hearts" and Sawyer would say that daddy was the "Cat Catter" :)

Saylor and her friend Mary Jane from school. They walked hand in hand to every house.
