"are you stupid or somethin?"

the dumbest thing i ever did.......
take two kids under two to the doctors office for shots, each one got five (5!!!)!!! we then proceeded to listen to them scream.......uh wait they are still screaming. i must be a damn fool.

ahhh Christmas

Is there anything cuter than two bums poking out from under the tree??

IT is 2:43 AM

Baby Ryan decided that 2:43 AM this morning was THE time to have the giggles. What brought this on I don't know, but something sure was funny. It was his first round of belly giggles. This in turn prompted MANY pictures being taken, which caused Ron to wake up. Opps!

Snow!!!

All excited for playing in the snow........

sometimes I amaze myself

check out the bow Melissa is wearing, I made that!! I am not talented with craft things. I usually destroy them, or they come out so messed up it is best to get rid of it. I discovered I can make hair bows. Not the most amazing talent in the world, or the most impressive, but useful when you have a little girl to put them on. Getting her to wear them is a different story....

finally.....

ryan smiled long enough to be caught on camera....well sort of smiled

happy day....

Caleb had a "small gathering" for his birthday. This "small gathering" took on a life of its own! Nine boys showed up for this shin dig! They had a grand time chasing each other and playing some stupid game called Backugan. (Any one know what the hell this is??) Since I am clueless about the ins and outs of this, new cool game with some freaky ball creatures rolling around , it is a sign of my "old age". At least according to the mass of 9 and 10 years olds here at the party. They all had googly eyes at all the Backugan toys Caleb received.

Holly was here visiting and did the smart thing; retreat to bedroom and get some much needed zzz's.

It was a happy day (despite Spike's death) when our much anticipated minivan arrived. Oooooohhh I SO love the leather heated seats! Nothing like a warm butt end in the winter! I also adore the DVD player in it as well. Finally some peace inside the vehicle while I drive to our various destinations. I adore the van.....never did I think I would become a "van mom".

Oh yeah my parents and Cami brought the van to us, it was nice to see them. :)

a day of mourning

A day of mourning is needed at our house. Caleb discovered the much loved Spike the Horny Toad lizard had passed on to the other side. Oh the tears!!

Caleb has a very very soft heart when it comes to his beloved animals. He adores them. Caleb finds lost pets in the neighborhood and brings them home to us. "Because we can't just let them wonder. How will they ever find their homes?" Needless to say we know all the neighbors, not by faces but by their pets. (Oh, this so YOU'RE Sally's -the dog- parents!) He is still planning on Harlee's Hospital for his Vet practice when he becomes an adult. Caleb would like to make this happen after he leaves the Marines. But really as long as he has half a dozen pets or so in his life then he will be happy.
