It's Been Awhile

So it's been awhile since my last entry. We are all trying to get over colds... which is not fun. The other day Aidan told me he needed a tissue and I told him to go get one and this is what he came back with (plus more which you can't see in the picture.) After a moment of anger and frustration I thought this would make a great blog story instead, so I guess the blog saved him from a timeout.


And Brinn has always been a little binky girl but has started to discover her fingers... so I could be in trouble. So far she does not seem to favor a certain finger and I am hoping it stays that way.

I Love This!!!

I love watching my kiddos sleep... especially when they are babies. They just look so peaceful. Don't get me wrong, they are so fun when they are awake but there is just something special about those quiet moments.

My Favorite Things

Aidan has said some cute things this past couple days that I couldn't resist sharing...
- We have been talking about Jesus and about how Christmas is Jesus's birthday. Well, Aidan calls Jesus "G-cus," and points out all the nativities in the neighborhood. It is just the cutest little thing.
- He now calls Brinn "Sweetheart" or "Sweetie," and when she is crying he will go over to her and say,"oh sweetheart."
- Tonight Aidan was all excited about a dog he saw in the back of someones truck and so I repeated back what he had just told me and then said, "oh my." About two seconds later he added "goodness."
- He is the most grateful little kid... "thanks for dinner momma," umm "thanks for the walk," umm "thanks for the drink," umm "thanks for santa momma," umm "thanks for toys"... all within about one min.
- Yesterday on his own Aidan came and took my hand and said, "Let's go. Ready bed." Who can argue with that? I wasn't about to.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Aidan got a hold of my camera yesterday and took about 60 pictures with it before I finally caught on to his quiet little sneakiness. Actually I heard him ask Abbi the cat, "a see it Abbi?" (Every time I take his picture he asks me, "a see it"). So I am assuming he thought he was taking her picture. These were a few of my favorites.

We Elfed Ourselves

I guess this is as close to a Christmas card as we are going to get this year. Just promise you wont laugh too hard!(See Link Below)

Merry Christmas!

And You Think Your Cold???

I was organizing my pictures and came across these of David last winter in Barrow, Alaska. (The northern most point in the United States.) As you can see it was a little cold there, mostly -25/-30 degrees. Anyways, I got a laugh from these pics and thought you might too.

Brinn's Grins

Here are some pictures of Brinn smiling. She is such a happy baby, especially just after she has eaten. All you have to do is rub your finger on her cheek or chin and she breaks out into a huge grin. And oh those cheeks...

Sea World with Britt

We actually were able to have season passes this year to Sea World, which is about 25 minutes away from our house. This past weekend my cousin Britt was in town so we decided to take her there. It was also Brinn's first time coming with us. The weather was perfect and we all had a fun time. Thanks Britt for coming to visit... you are welcome any time.
