My Blog - It's MINE!

So here it is. I have been blogging for over a year in a family blog about, well, my kids. I have always had things I wanted to blog about, but knowing it was our family journal I refrained. Well, no more. I will now be posting anything I want to. Watch out.

Attention

Below is Russ' first post ever! You should see this video with him. He laughs so hard he sounds like a woman. Also I would like to apologize for the absence in the blogging world. I took a break over the Holidays. And since I am going to make a book out of this blog and it will serve as our family journal, I had a lot to catch up on. There are a couple really long posts. Sorry.

Hot Hot Feet

This is funny.

New Years

New Years Eve was kinda low key for us, but a lot of fun. We hung out at my parents house and played guitar hero. That was a lot of fun. I had to wait until a lot of the people were gone before I really gave it a try and there is no pressuring me into it, Russ learned the hard way. We let the kids have a little party early in the evening and then they went to bed. At midnight we drank sparkling cider and I made gourmet macaroni and cheese, a tradition that began when we were young and wanted to make a fancy dinner and that was all we could make. Every year after that we have had macaroni and cheese. It was yummy.












Sorry there are so many pictures, but what are you going to do when your husband is such a stud.

Christmas Morning

So I guess I should explain Williams latest intrest to explain his gifts. He loves Thundercats. "What are the Thundercats?", you say. These are the Thundercats.

They were a hit cartoon series in the eighties and both Russ and I loved them. Well, Russ took William to the library and came back with the Thundercats DVD's. He has been hooked ever since. He asked Santa for a Sword of Omens. I had to get real tricky in making one becuase they don't make these anymore. And no one is selling them on ebay if they ever did.
Santa came and brought as requested the sword of omens. William did not know what to do with himself. He kept pacing the room with it in his hands saying, "this is the sword of omens." I don't know if he was trying to convince him or me.




Once when the sword was laying on the ground he said, "sword of omens, come to my hand" and then held out his hand. When it didn't come he moved closer and said it again. When it still didn't come he swept it up, turnded to me and exclaimed, "it came to my hand!"

















After we opened Williams present from Santa we headed over to my families for christmas breakfast and opening presents.Lots of great presents were given and recieved, but I only have a picture of this present from Aunt Connie

















Thundercats DVD's
Russ and I also made t-shirts for he and William with the Thudercats symbol on them. They turned out pretty good.

After awhile we went back to Russ parents and just had a great day visiting with family and having fun.

Cookies for Santa

We came home late from Rex a Shaleighs put cookies and juice out for santa, took a few pictures and it was off to bed.
