Christmas Shots

Some random shots from Christmas!
James rocking with Grandpa Paul!

Christmas with Grandma Louise and Grandpa Bob.

The boys got a video camera and microphones that hook up to the TV... oh and it plays music, pretty fun... and funny!!

This poor guy just stood at the window while we opened gifts... kind of felt bad we didn't invite him in.

And James had to try to eat an ornament of course.

Just a little snow...

These photos were taken the weekend before Christmas in Blue Earth.
Miles claims he likes the cold, crazy kid!
The HUGE snowbank he was on was pretty fluffy still, so he kept sinking down. At some point he tipped over, put out his arms and his arms sunk in, putting his face right in the snow. He could move until mom ran out to the rescue.

But even after that he still didn't want to come in!

This photo shows how high that snowbank was! Crazy Minnesota winters! And there has been a TON more since!

Future American Idol?

Ben and I LOVE watching American Idol.
We usually only watch up until they get to the top 20 or so. Our favorite part is the auditions. We frequently wonder why those parents lie to their kids about how well they can sing.
And now I know! It's because before they actually sing, they put their shoes on all by themselves, put on a hat, strap on a guitar, and give you a loving grin... your already in love. So when the show actually starts, the out of tune guitar and squeaky voice sound don't matter, it was wonderful!

Copy Cat!

I stole an idea, that was borrowed from another, and this it what I came up with for James' room. I did them during a scrapbooking weekend. It was nice to have something else to work on when I got in a rut.



This picture makes me smile everytime!
And the whale paper is so yummy! Not sure where I found it, just wish I had gotten more of it.


This is our only family photo. We are WAY overdue for another!!

The Life of a Booger

Quite a dig happening here. That booger was not in any kind of danger of just falling out on it's own.

Yep, and then the offering... I'm raising him to share, so it was only right, right?

No, no, no! Icky!

Awwwwe, James!

My Computer is Back!!!!

Just some random photos, I'll post tons more later!!
My sweet guys on Christmas day!

Miles' first preschool program! It was so cute! I might try to get some of the video on here!

I mean really!!! This one will be redone in a series, it's great!

And I was responding to cries for help from Miles. He climbed into James crib to get his blanket but got stuck on the way out. Never thought I'd have to worry about my kids climbing IN to the crib!
Hope that will tide you over for a bit. I'll post again tonight or tomorrow!
