We intentionally hurt ourselves sometimes..

Our first sledding trip! It was so much fun. Spence might have begged to differ, but the rest of us were entralled with happiness in plummetting out of control as we slid on our bums or stomachs down a hill. I actually had to chuckle at myself alittle as I hurt myself or watched my kids become masochists all in the name of exhilaration! What fun we had!
Braden went non-stop up and down that hill!
Spence decided after his 3rd run that it wasn't worth the pain. He instead tried and tried again to inflict pain on others, in the form of snowballs. We couldn't convince him otherwise!
Sydney giggled everytime she saw kids slid down the hill! I think she enjoyed the rides herself, but she was so bundled, all she could move was her mouth and eyes! HaHa! I relieved Crhistmas story alittle :)
This was shot from me standing on the top of the hill and Braden standing at the bottom. What a beautiful tree! I'm such a sucker for pine trees! Gosh, beauty.
Brandon is such a good Daddy! Look at him and Syd!
Pure Awesomeness! We HAVE to go again!!

Where did all this paper come from?

Syd got her first talking doll for Christmas. Thanks Grandpa! This year for Sydney was more more step to becoming a prissy girl! Congrats Syd, you are moving up in the world (or would that be down?!?!) :)
Braden and Spence both got bikes! WhooHOO! I was very excited! And I think will be even more excited when the sidewalks are no longer ice!
Ok! How cute is Braden, flirting with the camera?!?
Great Grandma gave Sydney a purse! She is officially a girl. Ok, so there are alot more reasons for her to be 'officially' a girl, but I died with amusement and pride at my princess. She totes around that purse like it holds her life in it!
StickMan Braden! Cuteness! Skinniness! And fun. Love it!
These cars are awesome! Thanks for the Christmas presents everyone. And a special shout out to Santa and Ms. Clause! My goodness I love those people. :) Christmas was good this year! I have a ton of pictures, but had to chooose. Hope you enjoyed!

Do you smell something?

its CHRISTMAS time.





Enjoy the Sydney Christmas pictures!!

Bruno is OURS.. finally

So I am guilty of being biased. But this here is the best looking dog. We named him Bruno.
Bruno is a great dane. He's 7wks old.
Look at that cute mug.

He is getting used to us. And I'm feeling as though I have an infant in the house again. Except this is a big infant that knaws on everything and chases the boys around nipping at their jeans. haha, its so cute. I've been so preoccupied with potty training. Its ridicuous!!
