More About My Big Boy

I am happy to say that potty training is going much better than I anticipated, although we aren't quite there yet. Also, last night he said good-bye to the crib and slept in the toddler bed! He had to sleep on top of Thomas, instead of his sheets. :)I probably should have done this long ago, but he was happy, so I figured why rush it! Notice he still sleeps all funky in his pajamas?!

Happy New Year

I took this picture on New Year's Day....it was the best of the 6! Why is it that you can get a really great picture of ONE kid, but very seldom one of both of them together?!

Clean and Cozy

I was trying to get a good picture of Collin the other night in his new bathrobe, but he wasn't cooperating very well until Kendra got in on things! It is softer than anything...wish it would fit me! :)

Family Get Away Time

We left the day after Christmas and went on a little trip. We went to Grand Island the first night, and did some shopping and swimming, and then we went to Kearney the second night and did the same. We had a great time!

Kendra practicing going under water.

Collin called the hot tub the "baby pool".

He got into my eyeliner and had fun coloring his nose.

Snuggling up for the night.

Notice he is sleeping peacefully where I should have been doing the same....he seemed to like to be on top of me.

This is fun!

Kendra had a blast on the waterslides, even though the place was packed. I counted 30 people in the hot tub that night! Granted, it is a big hot tub, but I think it was a tad bit full.

We made a little side trip to see the lights in Minden. So pretty.

Christmas Day

I didn't get these pictures quite in order, but this was how we spent Christmas day. We opened our stockings in the morning, and then went to my mom's for dinner. It was really yummy as usual!

Ashton and Collin thought they would sit on their presents.

Kendra trying out her "smell goods"!

Hey, the stockings are full!

A GUN!!

Christmas Eve

Okay, it's high time I get some posts on here! I will start with Christmas Eve. We went to candlelight service at church, and then came home and had shrimp, did our last box in our nativity, and opened presents. It was a fun evening!

Collin enjoying supper, well...jello and sparkling juice anyway! :)

Opening presents.

"Just what I wanted!"

Collin got a Cars boombox, or boombock as he calls it.

Kendra made us a snowman with a handprint picture to go with it in school. She wrapped it up for us. It was really cute, and she was so excited for us to open it, that had to be the first gift!

Kendra rearranging the nativity while we read the last page.

Kendra got a baby doll that cries when you lay her down, sucks on her pacifier, and makes other sounds. She loves her.

Our tradition of roasting marshmallows over the fire...yum!

4th and 5th

I was tagged by Angie and Charlie in a new tag game. It's pretty funny, and totally random. You post the 4th pictures from your 4th folder and your 5th picture from your 5th folder.

Both of these pictures were taken in March of 2005.
Above:Mike and Kendra at Easter time. She was 2 years old.
Below: Marty and Renee on a ski trip we took together...great memories!

And, I am not tagging anyone, because I'm not sure who hasn't been! If you haven't been tagged, then you are it!
