A Few Days Late

Chris's best buddy, Matt, had a birthday over the weekend. I'm sorry I didn't post something sooner!! I didn't forget though. Although, I'm sure it's something you're used to with a birthday so close to Christmas.

Happy Birthday Matt!! We hope you had a great day!

Remember this trip?? Have you seen my pants? Ahh, the good old days, no need to find babysitters....well, maybe you boys needed babysitters, but fun times either way!

Highly Recommended

Chris and I bought this for Grady for Christmas. I know there are a TON of learning computer type things on the market for preschoolers.

I am very impressed with this Fisher-Price version, Computer Cool School. He LOVES it! I think on Christmas Eve he played for about 45 minutes. Reading, writing, math, art, science and music. And there are other 'games' you can get with common characters like Scooby Doo and Clifford.


If you are in the market, my opinion is to give this one a try!

Now that Christmas is over....

We are having another countdown.

Grady's birthday is just 12 days away.

As if the kid doesn't have enough new stuff to play with!!

I am in shock that he will be 4 years old.

Already.

Where does the time go?

Merry Christmas!

Hoping that everyone has a great Christmas with their families. Pray for those who cannot be with theirs. And always remember the reason for the season!!

My Child...

Once he found out about T-Bone being at Granny's this morning.....

"Momma, I really want someone to get me over to Granny's RIGHT NOW. 'Cause I don't have a driver's license!"

Lord help me....He already wants a driver's license.

Four going on fourteen!

Knight in Shining Armor

Robbie Gould is no doubt worth every penny the Bears pay him!

Another late night game saved by the talented kicker!

I'm so glad those are over with. I watched to the bitter end. Glad that the Bears got first possession in OT cause I thought I (again) could puke with nerves.

Way to go Bears!! Playoffs, Here we come!

Anyone else hearing this daily??

But, I Can't Wait Until Christmas!!


Just one present?


Please????

Garlic Salt on the Road???

Chris heard this on the radio and I had to Google it.... Check this out!!

18 Kids and Counting

The newest Duggar is here!

Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar

Wonder when Number 19 will arrive?

Happy Birthday T-Bone!

Two years ago today, I got an awesome early Christmas present. My first 'real' nephew, Tristan Eugene. Affectionately know to us as T-Bone. He has always been a bruiser and Chris said he needed a beefy nickname to go with his physique. So, T-Bone stuck.







Last night we had a party for him. Complete with a horse cake, candles he tried to eat, and lots of presents. Presents, I might add, that he didn't want to put down in order to unwrap the next ones. Christmas ought to be interesting!

Happy Birthday T-Bone! Aunt Aubbie, Uncle Spank and Grady love you!!

How to tell when....

....your toddler needs his own camera.

I think there were about 15 pictures of Tom and/or Jerry when I went to clean the camera off. I guess he wanted to make sure he didn't miss anything.

Groggy

Why did someone ever dream up Thursday night football?

And why did they make the Bears play on Thursday night?

The game went into overtime and I thought I was going to be sick to my stomach with nervousness.

Thank the Lord for Robbie Gould and his golden leg and a Bears victory!



Did anyone else watch and see the sign in the crowd, "Gould for Governor"

I would so vote for him.

It's been awhile

I haven't posted anything in a week....what the hell? I don't know, but I guess here are some random photos that I haven't posted about yet. Just in case you missed me!

Grady got these roller skates/helmet/pads for his birthday last year. He is just now getting to where he thinks he knows what he is doing with them. The garage is the only open space we have to let him use them. Papa Johnny says he needs to stuff his butt with toilet paper so he will have a softer landing.

The newest play time routine at our house is puppet shows. Grady and Daddy go behind the love seat and put on a show for me. Whoever is the alligator ends up eating the duck...every time. I took a video, but I am such a dumbass I don't know how to upload them. And even if I did, Chris probably wouldn't let me.


Grady pretty much decorated the whole tree for me. Then was he pissed off when I told him that he had to take it all off so I could put on the lights. Does anyone else have an issue with their Christmas lights? I know all of them worked when they were put away last year. Now they don't. Go figure.

After Amber's recommendation of the movie "Bolt," Grady and I went to Robinson and watched it. Very cute. He had never been to the theatre before and I hadn't been for ages. Because of my lack of attendance, I had no clue there were little booster seats for kids. So, the chair ate my child.

On Sunday we went to the Santa train. It was freezing! I think we were in line for an hour. Grady enjoyed it and didn't once complain he was cold. Me, I complained lots! For the first time, Grady was not afraid of characters, so that was a plus. And he sat on Santa's lap too! Shocker also. When we were leaving, we saw our good buddy Dawson. Those boys could have took off with that train, I think. They climbed all over the front of it. Don't know if they were supposed to, but no one told them not to either.

I think that about catches me up for the week. I'm sure I have left something out (drama), but who wants to know about that?

Well, Duh!

I guess I should have added to the post about our family pictures.

You can go to Amber's *AWESOME* website to view the rest of our photos, if you didn't already....
