SNOW!!!

This is what Ray thought of the great snow we got on Sunday!



He didnt like it so much!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

I hope everyone had a great day! Our Christmas festivities started last night. We always spend Christmas eve at Alvin's mom and dad's. I love it!! Its always a good time. Ray got way to much stuff to mention everything but I will mention some of the big stuff.
Grandma and Grandpa got him a tricycle. He doesn't peddle yet, but hopefully by the spring he will...

They also got him (among many other things) a little karaoke machine, he really likes it, I say he really likes it because of all that karaoking mommy and grandma did when I was pregnant with him!!!

Opening his 1st gift this morning...

The Elmo live, we really thought this would be the gift of choice, we were wrong!

Nope, not the guitar we got him, but it is in this picture...

This is it (the vacuum), the gift that won over everything!!! It was like the 3rd gift he opened, and he was done after opening that, he got what he wanted evidently.

We had a great day. We stayed home and made our usual turkey dinner, had a fire and just relaxed. I even took a NAP!!! I never do that, it was kinda nice. Ray got me a snuggie. I am wearing it right now. I really like it. Alvin got me the Twilight movie and the last book in the twilight series (I better get to reading, cause I haven't even starting reading the 3rd book)and a gift card to Yankee Candle. Alvin got a charging station for his phone/ipod, a couple t-shirts from me and a remote control helicopter from Ray. That was Alvin's gift of choice. He has been playing with that thing all day!
Here's a few more pictures...

Merry Christmas and bye for now!!!

Visit with Santa & More...

We took Ray to see Santa today, this is what happened...
This visit was not planned. I had to wipe down his hair with a baby wipe cause it looked like this... Evidently his hair was still a little wet when we put his hat on. He would not give us his cup and I wish his pant leg us down, but oh well we pretty much had to put him on Santa's lap and snap the picture. I like this Santa much much better than the last one. That is one of those "priceless" pictures.
We had Christmas with Alvin's Grandma and family on Friday night. It is always fun to see them. Here's a few pictures of the evening..

Ray got a big Tonka truck and a dinosaur flash light that makes really cute noise's, some beanie babies and a telephone.

I love this picture, this is Ray's great grandma Jones.

What more can I say about this picture. He is getting so so BIG!!!

We got some snow on Saturday, not as much as I would have liked but it was fun to see Ray in it.



Thats it I think.
Bye for now!!!

Bad Bad Blogger!!!!

That is what I have been! I guess I am on Santa's naughty list. Please forgive me!
Guess what I did last weekend, I went and saw these guys...

My brother-in-law was kind enough to go out of town for work and my sister-in-law was nice enough to invite me. Thanks Dawn, I had a great time!!!
Speaking of the colts, look at this fan...(and no we never let him stand on the counter)

Since my last post things have gone much better with swim lesions. I didn't quit. We paid to much money to stop going. I think we have gone twice since then and they have been better, there was only one time the week before last that I had to grit my teeth and tell him to "KNOCK IT OFF". This last week was really really good. We have one more week and then we are done. I really have to say that I am happy about that. We plan on taking him swimming just for fun once this is over.
I took Ray to a breakfast with Santa this past Saturday. I met up with a few girls I work with and there girls. It was fun, I wasn't at all happy with the Santa. He wasn't very nice and his beard was yellow! I'd cry too if I had to sit on his lap!

Ray and Jillian...

Ray with his future wife Kayla, I'm bummed I didn't get any good pictures of Kayla's sister Julia...but they look exactly alike(and Ellen in the back ground)

Then on Saturday night the 3 of us went to a new sub shop called "Firehouse Subs" and they give out a fireman's hat to the kids. It made a pretty cute picture...

Then Sunday we went over to Alvin's mom and dad's to watch the Colts game and have lunch. That's where I got to see this little guy...

Dylan is getting so big, he is already 1 month old. I got to feed him and change his diaper. He is so lovey..
This picture he grabbed ahold of my mom's wedding ring.

Is this a colts family or what? (I have to confess, I was the only one not in colts clothes, I wanted to wear a Christmas shirt)

Ray concerned about his cousin! But more concerned that Grandpa had Dylan...

A very good older cousin, Jess is so so good with him, she would go up and down the steps with him. I think she kinda likes him!

Thats all for now!
Bye!!!
