Life's a Circus


Saturday we took the boys (Aiden, Logan and Gavin) to the circus. It was a first for Gavin. He was really needing a nap since the night before he and Nick were up most of the night due to a furnace issue. Anyway, he did great other than asking over and over for them to turn the music off. Nick and I couldn't blame him. Oh, I should mention that the adults were my parents and my brother in law, Nick. Marcus and my sis had to work. The circus was pretty good, although we were worried when the second act was "Felicia and her house cats." Yeah, big fail. Here are some pics from our big outing:

Gavin loves his cousins. He kept putting his arm around Aiden during the show. So sweet.
This pic was actually after the show. This is all of us packing into the Tahoe. Looks like the clown car!
Papaw JJ is a little proud of his grandsons. Just a little ....
Mommy and Aiden playing with the camera. My face looks huge!
Our little Colts fans!

I Scream You Scream We All Scream For Snow Cream!



It started snowing on Thursday morning. It snowed ...

And snowed ... and snowed some more! I think when all was said and done, we received 5 inches of snow. Not enough to cancel school, but an early dismissal and 2 hour delay made Aiden (and mommy) just as happy.


The boys couldn't wait to go and play in it.

It's fun until you get hit in the face with a snowball and Mommy makes you stand still for a picture. Grrrr.





The boys think the grill looked a bit like a monster. Ha.


The best part of the snow was when we made snow cream. The boys thought the idea of it was so fun. What they didn't realize was that it's super sweet and you really can only eat one heaping spoonful. Aw, memories.

Too Much Christmas?

We waited all year for Christmas to arrive. The house smells like Christmas, the house looks like Christmas, the kids are anxious about presents and not sure if they've been good enough all year to received that one particular gift. Then, in a blink of an eye ... it's over. Or that's how it normally goes.

This year Christmas seemed to last a really long time. Our first Christmas Party was the Farmer Family Christmas (Marcus's mom's side of the fam) on Dec 5th! That same night was his work Christmas party. Then the next weekend I hosted a Christmas Candy Making Party. The following weekend was the Hoffman family Christmas. Of course Christmas day we had our little Christmas, followed on the 28th by the Erskine family Christmas and just last week on the 30th was the Davis Family Christmas out in Missouri. WHOA ... AM I TIRED! The boys had a great time and really scored in the toy department. I think we own every game system known to man (ok, not really, but we now have a DS, Wii, GameBoy and a Leapster. Who needs those old fashioned things called books anyway!?!)

Anyway, I've posted just a few (er, 10) of the photos taken from the festivities. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/New Year's. Tomorrow it's back to reality (insert groan here).
