The past few months . . .

Yes, it has been months since my last post but every time I open my blog I just haven't felt inspired. We have been busy playing a lot and just having a ton of fun with family and friends. Brian matched Air Force in San Antonio TX, internal medicine, it was his first choice so we are super stoked. We will be leaving the first week of June and will stay there for three years. Charlie is learning to crawl and Lizzie is growing up so fast it's crazy.

My Uncle Mike

I am not poetic and most of the time I just plain don't know what to say, but I am trying to cope and this is therapy for me.

Finding Time . .

As a new year has begun I have noticed a new trend this year, no one is blogging nearly as much. I chalk it up to all the new additions in our families no one has the time anymore. We are all recovering from the holidays and lets face it we are just plain tired! I can't believe that I haven't updated for so long but like I said it is hard to find the time. We had a great Christmas we were lucky enough to get to spend Christmas up at the Snow's Cabin with lots of family fun! The following Sunday we did Christmas with my family and the kids were spoiled to say the least. We have been baking up a storm and enjoying our new Christmas Vitamix (Yeah, thanks Snow's), playing in the snow and just having a good time. We had a fun filled 2009 and are looking forward to many new adventures this year.

Oh the weather outside . . .


This is what our trees looked like right now, doesn't it make you cold just looking at it? I haven't updated for a while so there are a plethora of pictures on this one but I will try to make it not so long. New Moon girls night was a blast even though Happy Sumo lost our reservations so I didn't get my sushi we still had a lot of fun!



Thanksgiving at Aunt Erin's was crowded but that is what makes it so fun we had over 30 people in one house. What more could you want than good food and lots of family?


Breakfast with Santa is a fun tradition my family has, down at Thanksgiving point. Good food and lots of fun stuff for the kids.



Friends at the tree house trying to milk the cow and drink the milk.


Bri and I snuck away and took a little trip to Disney Land, we didn't take pictures because we had to much fun and I didn't feel like carrying around the camera the whole time. But the weather was beautiful and what can I say Disney Land in December is really fun!

Last but not least Christmas pics with the family what can I say, but this was the best one.

Life according to Lizzie

These past few weeks Lizzie has been saying the funniest things and I keep forgetting to write them down. This post may be boring for some of you but I needed to record some things so I don't forget them. This is Life According to Lizzie. . . .
The other day I made Lizzie some eggs for breakfast and they were warm enough that there was steam coming from the plate, she covered her eyes and said "Oh the smoke is hurting my eyes."
At the store the bag boy was making idol chit chat asked Lizzie how she was doing she replied "I have just been sick, I had Swine Flu." Luckily he couldn't really understand and he just smiled and I hurried off.
This morning as I was fixing my hair Lizzie marched down and announced that she couldn't find her iron to iron her blankie, I told her that I didn't think she had a iron ( I didn't even know she knew what an iron was, that's how often I use one). To which she replied "Oh it must have died," I wonder what they are teaching her at preschool?

A Scary Halloween Visitor

Friday morning Lizzie woke up with a fever and by the afternoon we decided to take her to the doctor. Yes they unofficially confirmed that she has H1N1, unfortunately the test is only right 50 percent of the time so really they said even if it came back negative the doctor would still say that she had it. The bad thing is they only give the medicine to kids under 2 and since she was to old they sent us home with a prescription for Charlie and just told us to watch her. If she developed a cough with mucus then we should worry. So unfortunatly our Halloween was a little lame, we quarantined ourselves and just stayed home. Saturday she still had a fever but she was feeling a little better. Mainly she was just wiped out and would just keep saying how tired she was. We let her carve some pumpkins and she actually trick-or-treated to about 5 houses then she was done. Needless to say I was glad that we had so much fun the week before she didn't mind to much. Today she is doing even better and her fever is almost gone, so far no one else has caught it. Of course Thursday I made appointments for them to get vaccinated on Tuesday and Lizzie catches it the next day go figure.

Lizzie carving pumpkins, it was actually a really nice day but since she was sick I made her wear her coat.

Some of the finished products we didn't get a lot of close ups.

Bri came up with this one all by himself I was really impressed.

Here we are going out trick or treating my mom gave Lizzie this mask that glowed and she insisted on wearing them it was really quite cute.
