~MINI & MIKEY THE MONKEYS~

Ok, if you thought I was "crazy like that" before, now look at me! Crazy, I know!! But fun!! I couldn't resist the monkey and matching sweater for Brinlyn too.

~WEEKEND WITH TIERRENY & KIESSA~

This weekend my cousin Tierreny and her daughter Kiessa came to visit me at my house. I was so excited for them to come!! We had a great time together and I was really sad to see them go today!! First of all, the pictures are so small because they are from my phone. I was letting Brinlyn run around the house taking pictures with the camera on Friday and now it doesn't work :( What in the world am I going to do? I am hoping it can be fixed and I don't have to buy a new one but we will see. So anyway, back to the weekend... We went to the MAC store and had makeovers and that was great fun! We all walked out looking amazing!! J/K We spend the day Saturday at my house. We played the wii and just hung out and then Saturday night we went to my friend Janie's house for a little party. We had a great time and great food! It was nice to relax and laugh with friends. Sunday we went shopping for a while and met up with Vanessa and Ben for a visit. We had a really nice time shopping and chatting. Then we got reservations at Maggiano's for dinner and that was fabulous as usual!! The doggie picture of Vanessa and Ben's dog Koda in his polo shirt and his snow boots. He is so funny when he walks in them I am laughting just thinking about it now. I couldn't spot laughing last night. Just one of those silly, tear rolling moments!!

~MIKEY THE MONKEY~

I know, I know.... I AM crazy like this. Yes, the monkey's sweater matches Drakes. He loves it and carried Mikey around all day yesterday!! And Mikey was the first thing he asked for this morning. It's pretty cute!

~MY CUTIE MUNCHIE MAN~

Drake was sitting on my bed watching HIS movie "Monsters Inc." this morning with my lambie blanket and my lambie and I couldn't resist a picture. He is just so cute and fun and funny and sweet and lovable!! I could just squeeze him......wait a minute....I do!!!

~MY FAMILY~

I found these pictures on my mom and Sheena's myspace pages so I decided to steal them and blog them. My dad, mom, and Sheena were able to go to Georgia to see Angela and her family for Christmas and these are some of the pictures. I noticed there wern't any pictures of my mom. I wish there were, I would have blogged you to mom :) So we have Angela, Emily, and Sheena. Then there is Sheena. Then there is Angela and Emily together and then my dad with Angela and Sheena. Then Brecken, Angela's daughter also. The last picture is my handsome dad!! :) I love you all and miss you. These pictures made me want to be there and miss you all SOOOOOOO much!

~LET IT SNOW~

Ok Carie, here they are. They turned out so cute!!! I love them and they look so great with my snowflake runner! And the Love is great on the door. Thanks!

~AN AFTERNOON AT THE PARK~

We met Carie Fordham and her kids at the park today and had a nice time playing, so I just thought I would post some pictures. It was such a beautiful day today and so nice to spend some time outside in the fresh air! It was very refreshing and I needed it!!!

~TIME OUT FOR COLORING~

Brinlyn and Drake wanted to color yesterday so we got out the crayon and had a coloring party. you will have to take notice of the stickers on Drakes cheeks. He was really into it!! He went through the book coloring only the eyes of everything. When I tried to get him to color more of Tigger he shooed me away telling me it was all done and continued on with the eyes. To cute! Brinlyn and I were coloring side by side so you can see the picture I colored for her. It was nice to take a break from the cleaning and enjoy some simple pleasures!

~Is this really MY son?~

So I picked the kids up from school yesterday and gave kisses and hugs as usual. Hunter took off his coat and sat back in his seat, and then I saw it...his shirt was inside out!!! If you know me, and most of you do, you are laughing right now. He put his shirt on inside out!!!!!! And Tom didn't notice when they left for school!!!!!!! Are you KIDDING me??!!! I said "Hunter, was your shirt on inside out all day?" He looked at me like I was crazy and said "yeah" all casual, like "yeah so". I said "did anyone say anything" and he said no. I was in shock. He really had a who cared and no big deal attitude. I couldn't help laugh at his casualness about it and I just was so shocked that he wore his shirt inside out all day and didn't even notice or care. You probably can't really tell in this tiny pic but you will notice the word is backward. It says captain. Anyway, my kids are usually pretty put together when I go anywhere and I like it that way so this just suprised me and made me laugh!!

~DATE NIGHT~

Last night Tom and I went out to dinner and afterward he took me to this park in Parker that I have been wanting to got to. It is so beautiful at Christmas and I LOVE the gazebo they have there. I love gazebos!!!! Tom said he would take it down and move it to house for me because I likes it so much but I told him it might not be such a good idea. Someone might notice:) Anyway it was just nice to spend the time with him drinking hot chocolate and wondering around where it was so beautiful.

~HAIR CUT~

We went to get hair cuts yesterday and Drake looked like such a little man when it was done that I had to take a picture. He just sits there, as still a a mouse, just like Hunter used to when he was this little. It always makes me smile a little. Brinlyn got her hair cut too but you can't tell here, just from the back. We go to Snip It's because it's for kids and I think there has to be something said for them doing kids hair all day. They are better than most places if ya ask me! That is Krista doing the cutting. She's our favorite!!

~POOR DRAKE~

One year ago today we found out Drake had a broken leg. He actually broke it on New Years Eve but we didn't know. He fell down the stairs from the very top (with a little help from a sister). Yikes, we were lucky it was just a broken leg. The floor is really hard at the bottom, no carpet. Tom was home and I wasn't when it happened. So Tom put him down for his nap and as long as he didn't try to walk, he was fine. Not a bruise, red spot, scratch, or mark. We thought for sure if it was broken we would see something. But on New Year Day he woke up and still wouldn't stand on it. So off to the emergency room and ta da... an 18 months old with a broken leg. What a pain!!! I had to carry him every where for 6 weeks and he was back to crawling at home! He was only 18 months but not your average sized 18 month old. He is tall for his age so it wasn't much fun having to tote him around. Anyway, a year later he is doing great and won't even remember that! So all is well, that ends well.

~BRINLYN~

Today the Boys and Macazlyn went hunting so Brinlyn, Drake, and I went shopping and to lunch with our friends. Brinlyn looked so cute I had to take some pictures. I know she modeled this outfit earlier in my blog but now we had the hair done and all. I don't think it makes a very good exercise outfit thought. Silly girls!

~NEW YEARS EVE RIDE~

It was such a nice day on New Years Eve that we decided to go for a ride. Macazlyn and I saddled up (with her showing ME how to do it). She is so funny and wants to do it all herself. I mean all of it and she thought she was going to show me something I didn't know. So I pretended I didn't know. and watched in amazement. She even told me the parts of the horse and bone names. (Sheesh, I really didn't know some of that.) She definitely has a passion for horses and wants to grow up to be a Rodeo Queen. I have no doubts that she will. With her determination, if she wants it she will do it!! Anyway, we rode with Poppy and had a nice time. That is Poppy at the top of the hill with the sun setting and the mountains behind him, and our dog Toby. Brinlyn didn't get to go on the ride and she was very sad about that so I promised her when we got back she could have a turn. As you can see she was very happy to have her turn!!
