Christmas 2011

Christmas Eve we went over to my parents, and Santa stopped by to say hi to Joey and Brody!

I have a video but it's too long to post. I'll edit and try to post later.

After Santa's visit, the Johnson Family came over for our yearly Christmas Eve Party. It was great to see everyone! We were on the road early to prepare for Santa's arrival at our house.

Santa's elves had some toys to put together before morning :)

I guess the boys were good this year!

(we might regret this later)

Yes, more superwhy gear.

My gift from Santa was a NEW SLR CAMERA!

We hosted our first Holiday and used our china for the first time! Ben, Dalylah, My Mom and Dad came over for dinner.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Photos

I was shopping and I found these adorable Christmas pajamas for the boys and I had a vision. So the next week I put them on and started taking pictures. Luckily the boys cooperated enough for one picture (because it takes only one!)

Merry Christmas!

Here are the outtakes...

Gaylord "part two"

Visit with Santa 2011 (check). Joey wants a "spider choo choo" and an "indoor park" and Brody just wants to get the heck out of there.

Gaylord "Part One"

We met Jamie, Logan, and Baby Isaac at The Gaylord to play in the "Winter Wonderland" on tuesday. Jamie brought her fancy camera and sent me the pictures. There are some really cute ones of the kids!

(This is what dealing with people... What a little stinker!)

Santa's brother, Billy Joe Santa was walking around The Gaylord... Joey loved him... Brody started crying. He was a very nice man.

Santa didn't arrive until 4pm, so we didn't get to see him. We are going back this week to see Santa. More pictures to come!

Hudson turns 3

Joey's friend Hudson, from swimming, who happens to live a street over from us, turned 3 last Sunday, and had a SUPER FUN birthday party at a Ranch by our house.

First they played in the petting zoo.

Then they rode the horses.

Played a little more.

The kids were so cute! So grown up!

Finally we all went on a wagon ride around the ranch.

It was a great party! Happy birthday Hudson!

'Nastics with Coach Rod

Joey has been partaking in Gymnastics now for a couple of months. He has learned to really love it. The class consists of Aslynn, Tatum, Zander and Joey. Can't forget to give a shout out to Coach Rod. The kids love him...

The Moms and babies usually sit behind a mirrored window, but last week they invited everyone in the Gym to watch the kids, and they loved it.

Joey kept yelling (all the kids did this) ... "HI MOM, HI MOM!" and waving his arms.

i heart my iphone

We are avid apple people. We have almost every apple product offered. Finally I got an iphone, and I love it! So does little Joey.

I was downloading my pictures (bc I don't carry a camera anymore... another plus) and I started seeing several pictures of monsters.

Then I found these...

This is my personal favorite.

You gotta love apps!
