Spawn of Brian

She just doesn't look just like her daddy....she is totally weird like him too! When Brian saw this picture he said it looked freaky and he couldn't believe I let her put that over her head because "it's dangerous!" This is coming from the man who allows her to be pulled down a hill, on a skateboard, by a dog!

Mama's Boy

Gray is such a ham.....just look at his cuteness.....the dimples....the curls....the blonde hair....oh and the love for his mommy! Seriously.....this kid has a serious crush on me! Brian better watch out...he has some stiff competion :)

4 Days of Christmas Madness

I love Christmas.....seeing all the happy faces, spending time with family, eating lots of yummy food......BUT WOW....WE ARE TIRED! And where we're suppose to fit all these new toys is beyond me....maybe we need to build a new addition to the house or something? Maybe we can ask Santa for that next year? Our kids are beyond spoiled......Maddie got everything she EVER wanted and Grayson got lots of cars, trucks, ride-ons and the baby of his dreams! In one of the pictures he opened his baby my parents got him. It was probably the 5th gift he had opened....the 4 gifts before were obviously just not cool....the kid really could have cared less....but once he laid eyes on his new baby he screeched! And the baby has not left his hands since. He loves her. Really....really LOVES HER! We call her baby Bob....!!! But she's dressed in all pink...so Bob isn't exactly fitting....

Our New Addition

Baby Penny

Penny

This video is Madison's reaction Christmas morning when our friends Kate & Chris brought over her last Christmas gift: Penny- our new addition to the family. Madison asked Santa for a puppy this Christmas, even after we told her that santa doesn't bring live animals for gifts. Little did she know....that moms and dads do. We purchased Penny almost a month ago and drove up a week before Christmas to Ellensburg to get her. I thought Madison would FREAK out when she saw her.....but as you can see in the video she is pretty calm. I think she is a bit in shock- she acted like Kate and Chris just brought Penny over to visit....it took awhile to sink in that Penny was hers.

Snow Babies Part II

Wow.....we got A LOT of snow Thursday. I woke up at 5:30am to see a light dusting, heard we had an hour late arrival and so I got ready for work. By the time I got to work we had over 15 teachers out with no subs. Luckily only 200 out of 800 students showed up. It was movie day at Pacific.......until the snow starting falling around 10:30. By 12:30 are students were released and we left. It was quite the trek home. It took me 45 minutes to make it to Burien. By the time I got home Brian had the kids ready to sled. We still have a TON of snow here.....but kept inside today.....getting the kids layered up and dressed warm is quite the chore!
