The Best Christmas Ever!!!

We hope you all had a very merry Christmas! We had a fantastic time! The boys' ages are getting better and better and I just love watching them take it all in.

Christmas Has Begun

Uncle Dan and Aunt Sherry stopped by to see us this weekend since they will be out of town for Christmas. They wanted the boys to open their gifts while they were over. It’s obvious that they don’t have kids YET just by what they got…….oh just wait until you have kids. By then they will make a Nerf gun that holds 100 bullets instead of Beau’s 30!!! Ha! Ha! Thank You Uncle Dan and Aunt Sherry!!!

What a fantastic picture!!??!!

Look at that face. “Hum, imagine what I can shoot up with this?!” You better watch out! 30 rounds and 2 rockets!!!

Look Mom, “It has bullets!!!” I’m glad it came with safety goggles.

Shrek The Halls

I was making dinner…..for a change.....while all of the boys watched Skrek The Halls.

Tucker’s Birthday Party!!!

I took Beau to his friend Tucker’s birthday party today and they had the cutest plans. The kids got aprons and chef hats and all decorated cookies.

 

After that, they wrote letters to Santa. Beau had his ideas ready to go, although they have been changing every 5 minutes. We told him that he is starting to confuse Santa. 

Our Winter Wonderland!!!

We have been having crazy amounts of snow the last few days so this weekend we decided to go check it out!!!

Welcome Delaney Jae!!!

Our family has another new addition! We just keep growing and it is so much fun! I am excited to say that we can include pink and dolls for this one. Dan, Erin and Riley have become a family of 4 with the arrival of Delaney Jae! She is adorable! Congratulations Dan, Erin & Riley!!!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

We woke up to a valley full of snow this morning and the forecast is for more on Wednesday! Welcome Winter!!! The boys are still half asleep in this picture.Look at all of the snow falling.Looking outside the window at work today.

Beau’s Battle Scar

Well, I had an exciting day today. I got the call at work that Beau cracked his head open and has a waterfall of blood running down his neck. We think he needs stitches. I decided to call his pediatrician instead of going straight to ER. She asked me to stop by there so she could take a look. He is all sealed up and without stitches. The actual bump on the back of his head is much scarier than the cut itself. The joys of being a Mom of two boys!!!! This is just the beginning.  

Christmas Time Again

We spent Friday decorating our house for Christmas and then Saturday helping Papa and Nana with their house. I can't believe it's Christmas seaason again! The boys had so much fun decorating that I can't wait for Christmas!!!

Stockings! Stockings! Stockings!

We went to Papa and Nana's to help decorate their house for Christmas. After I got all of the stockings hung on the mantel I realized that we are running out of room. I also started thinking about how proud and honored I am to be a part of such a wonderful family. I was the 6th addition to the family and there are 7 after me and they just keep coming. Thank You Dad and Mom for being such great parents!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Papa and Nana's house. I got all of my fruit plates done and on the table and was helping get everything else finished when this is what I find....Cole decided that since there was food on the table, it was an invitation for him to go ahead and start.

Maybe he just really wanted to know if this turkey on his plate would taste like turkey or fruit....I tried to be creative again....I think it worked, my turkey fruit plates were a big hit.

Cole was a happy camper at the table all by himself.

Beau was ecstatic just to eat shrimp all day.....his FAVORITE food!!!

Family Pictures

Thank You to Aunt Amy for taking our new family pictures!!! They turned out wonderful!!! We're saving the best for last so keep a look out for it in the coming weeks. Love, Kristy

Cousins

The whole family had dinner together tonight and we finally got a decent picture of all of these BOYS....not for long though, you will see pink pop into the next "cousin" picture.

Trick-Or-Treat

Pumpkin Carving Time

We had a fun time carving pumpkins with Uncle Dan, Aunt Sherry and Cousin William. Beau carved his very own pumpkin. He was able to accomplish this "with a real knife" and kept all 10 fingers...phew! Thanks Uncle Dan for helping out.

Cole thought it was so funny to make a face to look like his pumpkin. I personally think he pulls it off well.

Our little family of pumpkins!

Pumpkin Patch Time

Candles From My Boys

The boys had a place called Flicker come to their school for a candle making workshop. I knew that they would make me a priceless treasure but I never imagined these candles coming home to me. Gotta love kid projects....they always melt my heart.

Kristy's New Job!

Kristina would never tell anyone this so I will take it upon myself to tell everyone how proud we are of her. While she has only been at Great Basin for 1 year, she has come so far. Starting as a Teller and quickly promoted to a Member Service Representative. She received employee of the month once and then employee of the third quarter, and has been asked to be part of two vital committees for employee morale and strategic planning. She has done so well for herself and now, another promotion to Loan Officer. Good luck on your new job. Keep it up! We are so proud of all of your hard work and dedication to your job but especially to your family. Congratulations Babe, You Deserve It! We Love You So Much And We Are So Proud Of You! Love Dave, Beau & Cole

Hard Working Man

Check out my hard working husband!

Look Who Showed Up On RGJ

Josh & Kaili invited David & I to Vintage Nevada on Friday night at the Reno Events Center. It is a big wine tasting fundraiser here in town and we had so much fun! Look at who I found in a Reno Gazette Journal photo gallery....
