A fresh set of "Dennis tracks" on the steps. The boys are upset that we didn't get much snow.

December 29

**Flashback from 2004**

It's one of those, "you had to be there" pics, so you'll have to trust me when I tell you it was funny! lol Brad was playing with very strong magnets and to be funny, he put them on his nose. What this pic does not show is when we tried to get them off. Funny turned into panic, in seconds! LOL (I can laugh now because he wasn't hurt, but I will admit it was a bit scary.)

December 28

Time flies, but this is a clock I'll enjoy watching.

Thanks Mom!! :)

December 27

Chrissy, Santa, and Dawn.

(Trevor works with my sister, Chrissy, and tonight was their Christmas party.Trevor took me along as his guest and I won a $25 Wal-Mart gift card! YAY!)

December 26

"Lefty" is up to bat!

December 25

Santa was here!

(Collin won't part with those too small pj's! lol)

Wii wish you a Merry Christmas! (YES!! We did find one!)

December 24

I guess singing lessons wouldn't hurt? They should sing as loud as they yell in the house! LOL

December 23

Corey, Collin, and Memmy's Gingerbread house.

December 22

Sorry. :( No pic today.

December 21

Sorry, no photo today.

Waiting in the hallway to go on stage. (Collin wearing green shirt, Corey red).

The boys LOVE making snowflakes online at: http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/ . I LOVE that they take turns! :)

December 17

The light reflects nicely off of the ice.

December 15

Twins!

Corey and his Great-Aunt, Linda (she's my Aunt and she is great!). He said they were twins because they both looked the same with their "Santa" hats on. I'm thinking they're fraternal? LOL

December 14

My mom gave me this angel a few weeks ago and told me she (the angel) would help solve all of my problems. I guess, in a way, Mom was right. I'm not quite out of the slump yet, but when I see the angel I think of my mom and just thinking of her makes everything better. :)

December 13

We didn't get a lot of snow but what fell from the sky was wet and frozen. Collin got himself dressed and went out to shovel the steps. I should've taken an "after" pic because he did an awesome job! :)

December 12

I didn't get the camera out today, so instead I'm sharing a comparison of one of our traditions. Top pics are from Dec. 2003 (they were almost 2 years old) and the bottom are from this year (almost 6 years old).

December 11

Brad at the Christmas concert.

Rest in peace, Paulette. (that's her on the left)

Funeral was today.

My messy-faced boys at Uncle Leon & Aunt Pat's party.

December 7

It's still on the road? Our "old" van. We sold it to someone that fixed it up and sold it again. (It's the same van I hit the deer with.) Corey and Collin want it back. LOL

December 6

Kitty hygiene.

December 5

Almost finished with the outdoor decorations.

(I love the deer, thanks Mom!)

December 4

Yes, another pic from last night. I didn't get the camera out today.

December 3

Making ornaments at "Craft Night" at their school.

Finished ornaments and messy faces from snacking!

December 2

"Fluffy" is all tucked in and ready for bed. (You can't tell Corey that it's "Blue" from "Blue's Clues. It's "Fluffy"....end of discussion!) Corey couldn't go to bed until "Fluffy" was comfy.

December 1

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

November 30

Quiet at last!

November 29

****Please, let me explain****....I was telling "the ladies" (and you know who you are ;) ) that I got a perm and haircut yesterday.....they wanted to see a pic....I did my hair this morning and then got the camera out. It's not easy to take a "self-portrait", so I took a few shots (14 to be exact). After the first few pics, I got silly. I didn't know that the first few I took would end up too blurry or missing part of my head. Soooooo......this is what I'm stuck with today!! LOL

I hope you all are enjoying today's pic. I highly doubt that you will see one like this again! LOL And YES, you can laugh with me! :) It's cracking me up too!

November 28

No more reindeer games for Blitzen.

(Or Corey and Collin either!!!) ugh.

November 27

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen

Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen

November 26

Shower and a Geography lesson all in one! (The boys LOVE this shower curtain!)

November 25

Time sure does fly!

November 24

It wouldn't be Christimas without this. I'm not sure how old it actually is, but it's been a part of my Christmas for many, many years. It's a little beat up and it amazes me that it STILL holds a scent. (I'm not sure of the scent, but it smells like Christmas to me!)

November 23

I don't mind needles...... it's the day after that I mind. Ugh! :(

Novemeber 22

As I was preparing our Thanksgiving dinner, Corey asked me how to spell "dear" and then "love". He's been doing a lot of writing lately, and he loves his Mem! :) (I love you too, Mom!)

November 21

Sorry, no pics today. :( (Hey, I did give you two yesterday!) lol

November 20

Collin & Corey sporting new haircuts tonight!

Had to share this one too! I think Corey needs a tool box?

First snowfall of the season.

November 17

Relaxing with Dad

November 16

Not what I was hoping for, but it's all I got today. lol I was hoping to get a shot of the leaves blowing around in the sky. I lost my patience and was getting too cold to care. LOL

November 15

They looked so cute together, I couldn't resist.

November 14

Ahhhh. Heat!

November 13

I couldn't decide which pic I liked better, so I'm sharing two today! The reflection in the water is so pretty!
