Nick and his little buddy

When Laura told me about this little incedent, I had trouble picturing it in my mind. After I zoomed in on these pictures, it took some time to stop laughing. I hope you all enjoy.

Thanksgiving

How was everyone's Thanksgiving?

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Today is Dad's birthday. He told me that there was one good thing about this birthday...the fact that it is not his 60th birthday!

Happy Birthday!!!

Scrapbook pages for Mandy

I really enjoy scrapbooking but I don't want to spend my money on all the cool things that go along with scrapbooking. I also have a hard time finding time to do it. The boys make it almost impossible to do when they are awake. So, I don't scrapbook very often. Anyway, this is the best picture I could take of the pages. You can see that I don't get too involved with the page and cutesy things you can do. I have a friend who wants to open a scrapbooking store and her pages are incredible. It seriously is like an art. Maybe some day I will spend more time on it and learn some great tricks.

Wanted: Your thoughts

I am just curious about some things and thought it might get some discussion on the blog:
1. Real Christmas tree or fake, and why??
* We are going to have to buy our first tree this year, as we will not be going anywhere, and will have to do our own Christmas.
2. What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving? Will you have turkey or ham?
*We are going to our in laws and will eat turkey.
3. Does Santa wrap your presents or not?
*Santa wraps our presents, as we each only get one or two things from Santa, and that would look silly to have just one thing unwrapped. I remember that we used to get piles of things from Santa, but he doesn't seem to deliver as much to our house, I wonder why??
4. Who is going shopping on black Friday?
* I didn't realize that real people have to work on that day!! Mike has to work!! I will still probably make it to Target and Walmart with the help of my in laws.
Let me know your thoughts, I'm just looking for some blog action!

Scrap-booking

Has anyone finished their scrapbook pages for Grandma and Grandpa yet? I know the deadline is coming quickly and I just wondered how everyone else is doing. I haven't even started mine yet!!

Strength Training

Today the boys and I were doing some Taebo. During the exercise I pointed out a move, "That exercises your bum muscle."
He looked at me and grinned, "Does that mean I can poop faster?!?!?"
He thought that quite hilarious and continued to say, "I can poop fast with my poop muscle!"
Then after he was done he went and lifted his chair up to see if he was any stronger yet.
If only we all found as much joy in exercise!!!

AFIT

Mike did not get selected for AFIT. He is very sad about it. Please don't say anything to him about it. He doesn't want to hear it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RALPH!!!

Happy Birthday to Ralph! Hope you get to eat lots of yummy cake and ice cream!

Any takers?

I am giving away some clothes. Check out my family blog to see pictures. If you want them, email me or post on here so I know and I will send them to you. Some of them are maternity clothes (I know none of you are pregnant but if you wan them for future). Also, some of them I got from Jessie. Jessie, if you want them back, let me know. I think they are all ones you said you didn't want anymore but if there is something I forgot to give back and you want it, let me know. I hope if there is something I'm giving away that any of you gave me, you aren't offended. It's not because I didn't like them--they just didn't fit me very well and I gave up on trying to fit into them.

Jacob 1st month

Today Jacob is one month old. It's hard to believe he is that old already. It sure goes fast. He still seems like a new born, which he is, but I mean like he's just a week old. He has spent his first month like most babies: sleeping, spitting up, wetting his pants, and crying and screaming. He is very cute, though and everyone loves to hold him. He is growing already and starting to pay more attention to us. We are so happy to have him in our family!
