Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we attended church at Family of Christ Lutheran Church, then went over to my aunt Barb's for soup. The boys got to open a couple of presents, then we headed home with the hopes of opening our 1 Christmas Eve present and setting out our cookies and milk for Santa. As you can see from the picture below, we didn't make it. But I was able to wake Trevor up for the festivities.

Cookies, milk and reindeer food. He wanted to sprinkle it on the sidewalk, but I don't think oatmeal and glitter are good for dogs.

Taste testing Santa's cookies.

Uh oh! We're in trouble:)

This Just In...

Tyson is bleeding. This is the first time he's bled, that I'm aware of, so I thought I'd document it. Actually he just looked really cute with the band-aid on:) BTW, we're not entirely sure how this incident occurred. We're taking stories and putting together our investigation. We hope to solve it within the "First 48". We have a witness, but he was in a tv coma and isn't very reliable. Daddy was feeding his caffeine addiction and mommy was tipping the Neti pot.

Contryman Christmas Party!

Do you see the resemblance?

If you know Sarah, than you know this is a scary picture!

Ahh...can you see the pure "mommy" exhaustion in our eyes? It's there!

Hey everybody!

Lunch...

Why is it that no matter what you take to the office for lunch, it's always the LAST thing you want to eat when it comes time for lunch? I have the best intentions of eating it at 7 a.m., but noon rolls around and I'm outta there! I'm going to the closest fast food place and not coming back for an hour. Is it that I can't stand to be in the office any longer so I leave, just to leave?! Lunch is not a lunch to me, unless I've exited the building. I've done the whole, bring the lunch, eat it in the car, at the park. Those days are always great during the summer, but during the winter sitting in my running car never sounds that appealing.

So, today I'm searching the web for interesting lunch ideas. I've either come across things I've never heard of or am not willing to try (hummas, pita) or things I've tried and gotten sick of very quickly (fruit, nuts, cheese and crackers). This is going to be my New Year's Resolution. To prepare my lunch every evening, bring it to work and ACTUALLY eat it! What an interesting thought!

If you're reading this, leave me your best office lunch recipe. I do have a fridge, microwave and even a stove. Yes, I have no excuse...

BTW, went to "Yes, Man" lastnight. Awesome movie. You really can't expect anything less from Jim Carey. It reminded me of "Liar, Liar". The crazy, kookiness, but completely different story line. It also has that girl from Zooey Deschanel, who is different, but deliteful!

I'm uploading pictures as soon as I find my camera, ha ha!!

A Regular Night

Oh, hello mom. I love your cooking!

I'm trying to swallow:)



Are you gonna leave so I can throw this on the floor???


Hmm...do you think she saw that??

Christmas Pictures

This is my attempt at Christmas pictures. I am boycotting Wal-mart!!
This one is great. I turned on the vaccuum to get the little one's attention. It sort of backfired.

Geesh! There was a lot of work behind the camera to get a smile out of the lil one!

The Best Christmas Ever!

This is Trevor's Christmas present. She's a 6 year old mare. Don't you dare tell!!
Her name is Blaze right now, but that won't last. Trevor told me if he ever got a horse, which he doesn't think he can have until he's 8, because I told him that...that he would name it Cupid or Vixen or Blizten:)

This is Trevor asleep. I just thought it was funny. OUCH!
