Happy New Years!!

Hello all!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I hope you all have exciting plans for New Years. This year we are going to my parents house as usual but a friend of ours is merging his party into ours this year. I'm pretty excited about it and it should be a lot of fun. I'll have New Years off, which will be so nice. I hope you enjoy the couple of pictures I've put up. I absolutely love this picture of Addie. I think it is one of my all time favorit pictures of her. What you can't see is that in front of that wall is a book case which she climbs over the wall to stand on. In the picture she is standing on the back of the couch. She is my little monkey girl and although it keeps me on my toes, I love it.

Merry Christmas

We have had a great Christmas. Derek didn't have to work on Christmas or Christmas Eve although I had to work Christmas Eve morning and I have to work this evening. I don't really mind. I got to spend the morning with the kids which is the best part anyway. So here's some pictures from Christmas and a video of Ethan wrapping presents. The video is kinda long and may or may not be interesting. We love you guys!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry almost Christmas!!

It is almost Christmas. Yay!! I love Christmastime. Bust people, good food, time with family. It's the best. Today we are taking Ethan and Addie to see Santa at Cabela's. It should be great. Santa sits in front of a safari scene, so it's kinda fun. I hope you are all enjoying Christmastime as much as I am. God bless!!

Reading stories

Here are some pictures of me and the kids reading and stuff last night. Ethan is doing so well at reading and only needs help with the weird words that don't follow rules and silent letters. He is awesome.

New Pics!!!

So, I didn't find my camera but my sister generously let me borrow hers until we either decide on a new one or find the old one. Today we went to a birthday party at the children's museum in Olympia and I have some pictures of that plus a few of Addie thinking she is a big girl. She really is getting big.

Still no camera

Sorry guys. Still no camera so still no pictures. Hopefully Derek will have a random thought and figure out where in the world he left it but otherwise it is starting to look like I may have to buy one. Hopefully we figure out something soon.

My Family is Back!!

Yay!! The family is back. Derek has this thing with leaving our camera wherever he visits so hopefully we'll get that back soon and I can put up pictures. Until then I have these two pictures my sister took of the kids. They love being thrown up in the air. It sounds like the trip to Ohio was a good one. Derek even brought me home some Cracker Barrel. He brought all of my favorite things: chicken & dumplings, fried okra, mac n' cheese, corn bread and fried apples. Ethan loved playing with his cousins and grandparents. The kids were spoiled like crazy so I guess that makes the trip a complete success. Have a good week everyone. Hopefully I'll be able to get more pictures up soon. Ciao.
