kids...they are the best!

Kamrielle was watching the Fox and Hound movie

this morning and she said "Mom, find the Mickey Mouse part"

I said Mickey Mouse is not in this movie. She said "Yes,

he is I saw it on here yesterday." So I pushed the menu

button thinking maybe it was in the bonus part.

Well we pushed all the extra bonus buttons and did

not find it. I told her just watch the movie ok. It's not on here.

She said in a frustrated voice "Mom sometimes you just

don't know everything. I saw it and I know its on there, ok."

I just smiled and shook my head. She sounded so grown up.

Kids...You gotta love em!

This was Carder taking a nice long nap earlier this week.

I usually don't bother him but he was sleeping so long I thought

I better go check on him. So I took this picture knowing if he

woke up it would be ok. But he just kept right on sleeping.

He has his leg propped up over the blanket. He is also turned

sideways in his crib. He is such a funny sleeper.

Don't ya just want to get those cheeks?

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom, I want you to know I got up at 5 am this morning

to do this post. You know me so I thought that might

impress you. Well since its soo early I deleted this picture

on accident it was at the bottom and now its at the

top so keep reading the next part is actually the start.

Today is my Mom's Birthday! I would like to wish her a very

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Sorry mom that I can't be with you today on your Birthday.

This is when I wish we lived closer.

I know it is going to be a fun-filled day for you today, though.

My mom has many talents! She is truly a loving person!

She is a nurturer. She has nurtered people around her all

her life. She loves every one of her grandkids to the sun and

moon and back again. I love that she wants to spend time with

them and has to call them if she has not seen them in a while.

She is always willing to take them! I wish she lived closer!

She has the most beautiful singing voice! I have the priveledge to

sing with her every now and then but it is a little intimidating,

because she is so good!

She is a wonderful baker! I absolutely love her cinnamon rolls!

Did I tell you that I love her cinnamon rolls? They are the best!

She always had breakfast for you growing up and homemade goodies!

I probably should not mention that she is 59 today but I am because

it is hard to believe! She is a beautiful woman!

Enjoy your last year of the fifty's.

Thanks for being you, MOM! I hope you have a wonderful day today!!

Wii Family Fun

So this is the game room upstairs. And when I say game room

I literally mean game room. It is not my favorite room in the house.

There is usually games or movies scattered about and there is

"game" animals hanging all over the wall. 3 Deer, 1 Elk, & 1 Bear.

Luckily that is all for now but this is not where I spend a lot of

my time. I do however like having this room for the kids.

It serves it's purpose and I'm glad to have it.

So we got a Wii for Christmas and everyone has been enjoying it!

I think Boxing is the family favorite. This was a fun night.

Kamrielle was the winner. She is really good at Boxing.

Vinnie and Caden concentrating real hard. They crack me up.

Uh-Oh Vinnie what is that look of concern? Is Caden beating you?
Looks like it from Cadens face too. I however am the worst at Boxing.
Vinnie and I like to play tennis together. I have to admit that I woke
up in the night with sore biceps from playing tennis. I guess I better
keep playing so I can not be sore again.

We have enjoyed the Wii and the time we get to spend
together as a family playing it.

Happy Birthday Laura!

Our family would like to wish Laura a very

Happy Birthday today!! I believe she is in Mexico

with her whole family on vacation! I think that

is soo sweet for her to want to spend her 40th

birthday with the whole family. I hope they are

having a great time! Here is Laura with her two

hairless dogs when they were here at Christmas time.

We don't get to see them as often as we would like too.

Usually just once a year. So I don't have too

many pictures of you, Laura. But I'm glad to have

you as apart of our family. You really are a caretaker.

In all aspects. Such as your husband, kids, dogs, house,

business, and always helping out when you are here too!

You have a precious family and we love you all very much!

This is the whole family on Christmas eve this past year.

Wow, Laura I hope I look as good as you at 40!

Carder's into everything

It was'nt this drastic as this lady makes it look.

Actually I was laughing everytime I found him

in yet another mess... See pictures below and

you will see what he was into just this morning.

He crawls toward the fireplace often and I have to really

watch him. He has not gotten very close to it yet.

Just to the edge of the tile. Well today he saw a piece of

coal that he put right into his mouth.

Not once but twice. So he had black stuff on his hand

and around his mouth. He is a very determined little guy!

Then he found his sisters crayon container opened of course

and pulled them out one by one. Luckily he did not try to

eat one yet but, I'm sure it is just a matter of time.

He also thinks his sisters room is pretty fun to get into things

and this is where he heads everytime...Her book shelf and

pulls off all the books on the bottom shelf. She gets so

frustrated with him and I remind her that she did the

exact same thing to Caden. She just smiles.

I think I've got some fun filled days ahead of me...

I mean a lot of messes to clean up ahead of me.

I did not get any real pictures of this because Vinnie

has got my camera with him. He made a quick business trip

up to Wyoming. But he is on his way home as I type. Yay!

Happy New Year!!

from our Family to Yours
We may not have it all together
but,
Together we have it all!


My family means everything to me.
Just look at those sweet kids above.


I love these boys. Are they not the cutest smiles?


And this is my sweet girl. She is everything I
ever wanted in a daughter! Sweet & Sassy!

And look who I get to spend eternity with...

It does not get any better than this!

Looking forward to another year with my family...

It's one year closer to Eternity!
