Sweet, Sweet Surprises

Did I tell you what my awesome husband did? Well......he surprised me with an early Christmas present. I am one happy camper, and will be for a very long time!

The Canon Rebel XTi 400D. SWEET!

Good times

Well, another turkey day come and gone. I think this year was by far the best "food" year to date. The food tasted awesome. Chris, his mom and brothers really did a bang up job. We ate way to much as usual. We took the kids to see Happy Feet. VERY CUTE! If you ask him Conan will dance like the penguins, he was not the best kid at the theater but we made it through.

Today is Christopher's Birthday. He ate pecan pie for breakfast and opened his presents. We got him some UFC dvds and a shirt. I think it is so funny that Christopher's favorite meal is turkey and stuffing and how nice that he was born around Thanksgiving. His mom told me this morning that he was born the day before Thanksgiving and she did not get to celebrate or eat dinner with her family because she was stuck at the hospital.

Hope you have many, many more happy birthdays, honey!

We are off to eat Christopher's birthday lunch and then to Tulsa to see his brothers new house and then on to home. Hope everyone had a great holiday!

More birthday fun

Here are a few more pictures of the party.

This is inside the barn seeingthe animals up-close and personal. I think the adults loved it just as much as the kids. It was fun to see their faces when she got each animal out. Leading up to his party if you asked Conan what animal he wanted to see at his party he replied,with a big grin, "big snake!" However, when she showed them him the big snake, the only thing he could say was say and make the sign for, "ALL DONE"

Here the kids are getting more bread to feed the animals.

Keeping at a safe distance.

This is Gabe posing for a country GQ magazine. I swear Gabe, I am turning this into a christmas card!
Brook and Gabe petting a dog. They were so sweet to come and celebrate with us. Thanks guys I loved having you there!
Just another picture of the treats.

A picture of the balloons a certain 2 year old had to have! (maybe it was his mother...can't remember:)
Yes, this is exactly what it looks like. His great grandmother IS giving him a foot rub. If she stopped for a second he would say, "more please" He had fun with her and I am very glad she was able to come with my Mom. Thanks Gee-ma.

Nana always comes bearing gifts. Conan had a blast playing trucks with Nana.

I still can't believe he is 2...and its been 2 weeks since his birthday.

Taylor has a soccer tournament this weekend. I hope to have some pictures to post and hopefully the girls play well. Good Luck!

Biggest Loser

I have not been as faithful to my weight loss plan as I thought I would be. However, after watching Biggest Loser last night, I have a renewed interest in reaching my goal. I hit the gym tonight for a nice long, calorie burning run! Yah me.

You should go look at the before and after pictures. Pretty cool.

If you want to be a pirate say....

yarrr!

Tonight Conan had a fall carnival at his school and got his face painted like a pirate. He walked around sying yarrr all evening. We had a great time.... next year for Halloween he will be a pirate.

Have a good evening me hardies.

"His side"

I have so many pictures to post that I thought I would break it down by families. Yes, we are one big happy family, but you have to start somewhere. We will start with Chris' side. It is smaller and I had time to edit the pictures.

I really appreciated Debbie, Cole and Corey making the drive down to help us celebrate. Conan likes his Uncle Torey and Uncle Tole, and Geenie. Here is a family picture of all of us.

This would be Chris watching Coery kick Cole in the butt.

Enough said.

Corey and Cole with the birthday kids.

I had more pictures but blogger won't post them....I will try later.
