Christmas...finally!

I know it's really late, but here are some pictures of the kids on Christmas day. When Kaylee came out she saw her new tents and tunnels and she was so happy! She got some really cool stuff, she even got some new roller skates! Crew got a new car (that Kaylee soon took over), and a musical station that he is in love with. He will seriously stand there for hours just playing with all the features of it. They had a blast and so did Chris and I! I got some really cool things too! I got an Ipod Shuffle, and some new shoes. Chris got his Xbox 360(he got it early, but it was still for Christmas). He also got Xbox live, which he plays every day! And he got some socks, and the whole Family Guy series on DVD.

Kaylee in her new tent. (She slept in one of the tents every night for a week straight).

Once Kaylee gets bored of the car, Crew gets to try it out.

Crew's new favorite toy!

Trying out her new Roller Skates!

Check it out at The Busy Mom Handbook!

Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it's already been 4 years since Chris and I got married. Time flies! It's been great, and I am really glad that I found such a wonderful man. Since we've been married we have had two kids, bought 3 houses, moved over 5 times, made several friends, been camping so many times I can't even remember, and most of all, we've never let our love die. So here is to four more glorious years.... ok and like 50+ more after that!

Oh Christmas Tree

The other day I was looking at our Christmas tree and realized that it looked very very bare! I mean we don't really have that many ornaments anyways, but it looked like half of them were gone! I didn't think that much about it, but later when I went to plug in our tree lights I saw about 15 ornaments clumped together on one branch in the very back on the bottom part of the tree. Then I realized what Kaylee was always doing when she went missing for awhile.

Kaylee the Dramatic

She makes one beautiful Snow White!

But an even cuter dead princess!

A busy week all wrapped up!

First off let me say, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope everyone had a great day! I had so much fun on Thanksgiving. It was my mom's birthday, Happy Birthday Mom, and almost all of my family came in town because my sister got married on Nov. 24th. It was a big day of family, food, and fun!

Kaylee also went to our neigbor's birthday party that was on the 21st. It was at the place called "Pump it Up" and there was just this enormous room filled with all these blow-up obsticle courses and slides and fun stuff. She had a blast and then afterwards we went to Chik-fil-a. You can see Crew sporting the lovely birthday hat.. How cute!

Kaylee and her cousin Brady were flower-girl and ring-bearer for my sister's wedding. They are so cute together, they look like they could be twins! Kaylee got to walk down the isle before my sister and throw rose petals. It was hilarious because she would only throw one petal at a time, and the whole walk she probably only let down 5 petals!

Here is the beautiful bride, Heather on the big day, just before we were about to go out! I was the maid-of-honor, and I got to hold Mark's wedding band and her flowers during the ceremony. It was a great one too!

Here I am all gussied up with my flowers in hand. I felt so pretty, kind of like I was going to prom or something.

And of course Chris was just as handsome as ever. He helped out so much while I was doing my duties as maid-of-honor. Thanks hunny, I love you!
