The Christmas Card Rejects...

Just realized I never posted these and thought I should! There are always a bunch of good ones but they just don't make the cut. I still think they turned out sweet and wanted to share a few of them.






These last two pictures were great but dare I say a little "too perfect" not quite my style...

RELAX!

Last weekend was a pretty lazy one. We didn't do much except when the Self's and the Thomas' came over to play on Saturday evening. I did a bunch of cooking to prepare for the work week and try out some new recipes. Here are a few pictures of the kids playing with Brent's X-Box Kennect. It's pretty cool and I think the guys had just as much playing it as the kids did!

Just had to share this - thought it was perfect for a new year...

Count your blessings...one by one
Whatever is true...think on these things
Whatever is pure...think on these things
Whatever is lovely...think on these things
Guard your heart diligently...for what goes in ...comes out
Put others first
Respect your elders
Serve willingly
Love fervently
Be a friend if you want a friend
Give till it hurts
Love the unlovable
Delight in the Lord
Trust in the Lord
Stretch your hand out to the poor
Open your mouth with wisdom
Reverence God
Do everything as unto the Lord
Do not even look upon wine for it is a mocker
Do not lie
Honor your father and your mother
Get understanding
Sing praises with understanding
Consider the ant
Pray all the time
Grandchildren are the crown of the aged
The wise accept rebuke
The foolish speak arrogantly
A friend loves at all times

New Years Eve 2010

This year we celebrated NYE at Stevi's house. I really love having the boys with us to ring in the new year. It is a special time to talk about our blessings from the previous year and our hopes for the new year. I love Scott and the boys so dearly and I wish so much that I could just bottle up nights like that and do them again later!

The Trains Trains at NorthPark

Mom and I took the boys to eat at Twisted Root and then to see the trains out at Northpark Mall right after Christmas. I knew Hudson would LOVE it and he did! It was smaller than I expected but the kids still had a great time looking at all of it. I wish we had made it over there prior to Christmas because they had a lot of cute events going on throughout the mall for the holidays and it looked like it would have been a lot of fun. Maybe next year!

wow - some old pictures

Just found an old SD card that was in our little camcorder so I popped it in the laptop last night to see what was on it - these are OLD!

This was at our old house obviously right before we moved because you can see that everything was all packed up. Nolan wasn't walking yet when we moved out so he must have just stood up next to Scott.


This must have been a few months later because he's walking!




Hunter's little chubby face (he's almost 14 now!!)


These are from Nolan's 2nd b-day party - check out Tanner and Addyson!!



Look at Nolan and Ryleigh - they were waiting inside Irma's house for an egg hunt.
