Merry Christmas!

Instead of sending out Christmas cards, i hope this will suffice. Grandma Karen gave these jammies to my boys, they are too cute! I have some great photography skills as well. Hope you all have a Merry Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!!

Gingerbread Train time!

Awesome gingerbread train making!

And he's off...finally!

My little monkey turned 18 months yesterday and he is finally taking some steps on his own. He is not walking all over the place yet, but he is getting closer and closer every day. I took him to his 18 month appoinment this week and he is growing well and doing great. He also went to nursery for his first time last Sunday and he did awesome! i just cannot get enough of my sweet Sully!

Friend Christmas Party 2010

Tiff hosted our annual Christmas party this year and it was so much fun and we ate delicious food and exchanged good presents. Hopefully, Becky will forgive me one day for stealing her gift. :) I love that i have been friends with these girls for more than 20 years, they are the best!

Halloween!

Preschool Halloween Program

Ander is the skeleton, but i was in the very back of the room so you can barely see him Beckham, Ander, and Dawson

Ander's preschool program was today and it was really cute! The kids sang and all had their own parts to say. I don't think Ander sang at all even though he knew the songs. i think he was just being really shy. All of the kids got to go trick or treating after the program and Ander got alot of candy, which he has been eating all day. Ander's grandma Barkley and aunt Mari came, which was super nice of them. Of course, Robyn and Scott were there to see Dawson, so that was fun too.

This N That

Ander's smile is priceless

Sully climbing on the statue in front of the Mayan restaurant

These statues were Ander's favorite part of the whole "Mayan" experience

Last weekend we thought it would be fun for the kids to eat at the Mayan to celebrate Ander being potty trained. We had heard that the food was not that great there, but we decided to go anyway. We were pleasantly surprised because the food was sooooo good!! I think they put crack in their guacamole or something because i cannot stop thinking about it. :) The kids thought it was pretty cool, but they mostly just loved climbing on the statues. We were also able to attend Sage's baby blessing on Sunday. He is such a sweet and cute little guy! Little Sully is still not walking, but he can crawl faster than i can walk, it is hilarious! :) I am sure he will be walking soon though. He loves to get into everything these days and he is such a picky eater just like his brother. He throws everything that i give him on the floor and screams. i never know what to feed him, but he is still alive, so i guess he is eating enough.

NEWS ALERT!!!

Ander is officially a BIG BOY!!! Hallelujah! I never thought it would happen and i couldn't be prouder or happier!!

V.I.P.

Ander was the VIP at his preschool last week, so i had to make this posterboard for him to take to school to show his class. I also had to bring treats for all of the kids. I love that his school does such cute things.

Congrats to my BFF!

Trista's beautiful daughter Brynlee

Trista and Shane were married last Friday and it was such a great day! Trista looked GORGEOUS and she had the most amazing wedding video and pictures! Most of Trista's friends had to give a speech at the wedding dinner, and i was soooo nervous about it all day. In fact, my entire body has been sore from the tension ever since. Everyone did a great job, but i thought my speech was lame. I am just so glad it is over with. Trista has been through so much and so i am so happy that she found such a great guy to marry for her and her kids.

Haircut Time!

Sully got his hair cut by his aunt Becky yesterday while Ander was at preschool. He was so tired, but he kept a sucker in his mouth the whole time and was so good. The drool from his sucker caused all of his hair to stick to his neck, it was pretty funny, but gross too.

First Day of Preschool!!

Ander started his first day of preschool yesterday at the Elite Academy! He was so excited to go and he loved it! He also gets to go to school with his cousin Dawson and his buddy Beckham, so that makes it fun. I now have 3 hours, 3 days a week where i just have Sully and it will be a bit of an adjustment. Ander's school is by my gym so i can go there while he is at school, but that also makes it hard because it is not close to home. I am sure it will all be worth it because it seems like a really great school so far. Also, Ander and Sully had their 4 year and 15 month check ups yesterday and they are both growing well and are healthy boys. The doctor even tried to talk to Ander about needing to go in the potty now that he is a big 4 year old. He suggested that we not let Ander watch any movies or shows that he likes, unless he goes in the potty. So we will see if this will make my little stubborn guy want to go. It is crazy how your kids grow up so fast! I am just going to try to enjoy every minute of it and not take this time i have with them for granted.

The Zoo!

All of us and still minus 5 kids! Beckham and Ander on the carousel

We went to the zoo today with Jenn, Trista, Becky, and Katie and it was the perfect time to go! The weather was amazing and the kids had alot of fun. Ander starts preschool next week, so our schedule is going to get a bit busier, but i am super excited!

Thanksgiving Point Gardens...

Trista, Jenn, Katie, and i met up at T.P. Gardens with our kids last Tuesday. The kids loved it and could not get enough of running up and rolling down the big grass hill. I can't believe that i just discovered this place after living right by it for 5 years! It is such an amazing, fun place for kids and adults! I also love $2 Tuesday's at T.P., too bad it ends tomorrow. We will definitely be going back next year.

4!

We celebrated Ander's 4th birthday last Wednesday at America's Incredible Pizza Place. Ander had such a fun birthday! I love that he is so much more into it this year. He got all of the toys that he wanted and he even got a really cool bike. I cannot put into words how much i love my sweet little guy and how happy i am to be his mom. The only thing that would make me happier is if he would just want to go on the potty and not want to be a baby anymore. I seriously give up for right now, he is just such a stubborn kid, but i love him to death anyway!

GNO...

I had dinner with Becky and Jenn at Trio on Friday night, before they went to the Chelsea Handler show. I missed out on not going to the show, but at least I got to eat at a place I love and I got to hang with my besties!!
