Continuing Christmas 2008!

OK so I think I need to update my blog more often, geez!! Here is some of the fabulous moments of our end of 2008!

This was the next week of snow where we got hit by more then 10 inches! UGH! the kidos loved it and couldnt stop licking the darn ICE bricks they carved out of the snow! Yes thats right, 2 inch ice bricks underneath the snow!

Then we went over to my parents to build them a cool snowman, Casey really gets into the sculpting of his snowmen!! LOL

My brother is too cool for words!!! LOL

Our little baseball pitcher!!! getting ready to throw a snowball at dad

And then onto Christmas Eve, I love this time, because it seems so peaceful and serene, we wanted to capture our living room while the kidos were asleep and we were ready to sit and watch the tree with our wine!

The Kids made Christmas cookies to share with Santa and Tianna wrote a note to Santa so he makes sure he knows it is his!! And she wanted to use her best princess tray ofcourse.

ONto New Years Eve at Nicks house! We had a fbulous time listening to tunes and teaching mom a thing or two! LOL

The girls decided to dress up and put Raigen's makeup on, holy moly this scares me!!

NIck and Casey stiring up some trouble!

NIck & Arrin, Can you believe he is only 15!! Geesh! where does the time go?

Ofcourse we have NIck and Misty hamming it up for the camera heee heee

MIsty and Porter, so cute!

And Misty and Rai Rai!

Last but not least Chase and Papa Jim hanging out on the couch after such a fun evening!!

Snow Days are so pretty!! DEC 14, 2008

I just thought I would post some pics of this Wintery madness we have had in dear Oregon! I love it, the kids love it and hope it stays through Christmas!!

this bird was at Grandma Fulmers house and I though he was so pretty!

Tianna showing us the house (this was the first day of snow, just wait for the pics later of =what it looks like now!)

our dirty little snowman!!! LOL

they were determined to make this guy even if the snow was complete mush and mud!

Snow melting away never thinking it would come back as strong as it is now!!!

Christmas oh Christmas tree....

I had to laugh and share with you the exact personalities of both Tianna & Chase.. We went to look for our annual Christmas tree at a local farm in North Plains, the kids Are sooooooo excited for Christmas and "tree Hunting" so they thought or Tianna thought shall I say. The moment we step our feet on the muddy grounds of the tree farm, Tianna says "mom ewwwwwww gross, I cant walk in this stuff" and then after making it over to the trees themselves, Im looking all around and see no Tianna?? I look up and over to the same spot we started out in and she hasnt moved a muscle! "Tianna come on over and help us find a good tree" ... "mommmmm its poking over there" !! LOL
I had to laugh! what a girl! Chase ofcourse was all game for chainsaws and cutting things down ofcourse and this was the devious face to proove so...

After many tries, he just did not want to stick that tongue back in his mouth! darn him LOL

And my beautiful little girly girl!

I think he may be on to something!

Tianna was getting a bit bored and started singing to herself

All in all it was a gorgeous day and we got our beautiful tree which we will be posting soon!

Awwwwwww The last nice beach weekend of the year!

We had such a nice time at the beach this weekend with Bff's, the Meyers! We stayed at Gretchen's Brother's beach house at Pacific City and it was absolutely gorgeous! We drove on the beach and came up to these beautiful rock formations that we all had to take Family pictures at! I thought I would share of some of our pics this weekend.

Gotta LOVE the kids, they had to make a moment out of this! LOL!

Aww the boys, posing on the rocks like those old 80'3 speedo calendars!! I should have photoshop'd a speedo on both of them! HA!

Casey's truck's first time on the beach! He LOVES his truck =)

OLD school Tail Gate'n

Thank you Gretchen & Arrin for such a fabulous time at the beach!

T's first day of school!

Oh what a day that was, I was an emotional basket case and Tianna looked like a nervous reck and was like "now what do I do" It was so hard for me to just let her be and watch from the sidelines, but she did great and gave me the thumbs up and I left her there to begin a whole new adventure of growing up =(

I think back and wonder where did the time go by, really? It feels like it was yesterday that she was in pullups and dancing to her own little tunes. Casey and I were watching an old family movie of the munchkins and ofcourse we teared up and couldnt believe our eyes. But one thing we can say is how fabulous these two have been and such a joy to have in our lives! Tianna our sunshine and ray of light and Chase our air that we need to breath and force of wonderful nature! I thought I would share some of her first day at school pics with my point and click (she wouldnt let me take my big ole' camera, HA!)

Tianna wanted to take the bus her third day of school and was so excited!

And I also had to add some of Tianna and Mila's last day of swimming lessons catfish 3 class. They did a great job and such a fabulous time. They also got to go down the big water slide at the end of class.
