Holidays are almost over:(

Christmas came and went ..... It makes me sad! I love the Holidays and the fun times with family! This Christmas went by fast.... We sure had fun though!

The kids are loving there bikes! Playing with there play-doh and all there new toys!

I love my Paula Dean pots and pans I got! They are awesome!

James loved having cousin Mikey come and wishes we lived closer! We all loved Gavin him here for Christmas!

Danica LOVES her baby's she got for Christmas! She is almost one!! Makes me very sad!!! She is growing up!!!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Christmas Eve!

We stayed home for Christmas eve! We cooked dinner opened our pajamas and a book and watched Elf! ( love that movie)
Every year we give the kids pjs to open on christmas eve! As we went to open them i couldn't find Dukes!? I knew I wrapped it.....
He stuck it in the tree water!! It was soaking wet! Ahhhhh!!! The joys of being a mom!! We had a great night and the boys were so excited for Christmas!!
Santa came that night and we took pictures before thy woke up!!!

Christmas Time!

Lots of stuff happening over here at our house! Cousin Mikey came for Christmas and the Bears game! ( Bears won! GO BEARS!) we finally hung pictures in my house!! Our house looks like a home now!!! We have been having bonfires outside and we went to church yesterday in our Christmas outfits!!! My kids are so excited for tomorrow!! And either can I! Haha! Love my family!

Boring

This has been a crazy week so far!! James hurt his back (you would think he was having contractions) and I am sick! But life must go on! Yesterday we did nothing! I was going to clean my house because cousin Mikey is coming to town but that didn't get all done... So needless to say my house is a mess.. Oh well!!
Duke still love his binkie! It keeps this mom sane sometimes too ! When you ask him to go get it he goes and lifts up his mattress because when he wakes up inn the morning that is where it is!! Funny kid!

Butch has a holiday concert!

Butch had a holiday concert last night!! He did a great job!! We could definitely hear him yelling ... Oh I mean singing! We were there early so I snapped some of us waiting!! Hard to believe next year Rocky goes to kindergarten!! My kids are growing up!!!

Getting ready!

I have been busy getting ready for christmas! Making a wreath, drinking pop and eating Pringles and taking pictures of my sweet boy! He is almost 2! Growing up!!

Cutting down the tree!!

We went and cut our tree down this year!!! It was way fun!! My boys loved it!! We call it our Griswald Christmas Tree!! It is a new tradition!!

Nica Jo's Arm

Nica Jo is my little princess!! I love having a girl!! But she hurt her arm:( it makes me so sad to see her in a cast! She does look pretty cute though! And mommy picked the hot pink!!
I got mon of the year that day!! I had her in the bumbo with the tray attached and she was eating some lunch I turned my back and she fell off the table.. Still in the bumbo! She pulled the chair with her and hurt her arm! We love this little girl! She has to wear her cast for 6 weeks! So the 2nd week of January is when she gets it off! She is such a trooper and the cast is now black because she hasn't slowed down one bit!

Hallie Joanna Gurr

My little sister Calli had her little girl the beginning of November!! She is a doll! She makes baby Nica look so big and it makes this mama sad!! I love having someone to give all the clothes that don't fit her anymore to so I dont have to store them!! Haha!
Hallie Johanna Gurr is her name!! We just live her!!

Butch gets Honor Roll and Principals Award!

The other day Butch asked me if I would stop calling him Butch and call him Michael?! I knew this day was going to come but I didn't think this early! I tried... Lasted 2 minutes!!! Haha! Oh well!! He will forever be called Butch by his mom!!
A couple months ago he got Honor Roll and Principals Award at school! So proud of him!! He is learning so much!! He is growing up!!
