Eric's Birthday cake

Christmas Eve at Grandma's

My whole family and part of Toms all got together on Christmas Eve to have dinner and play and Santa showed up!!! (Tom had the privelage of wearing the costume) hahahah!! He did great!! The kids had no idea!!

Alex on his lap and Amber to the side. She thinks she's to old for this kind of stuff.

Logan totally loving it!!! He loves Santa! I got to sit on his lap to and it would have been realy cute if it wasn't so blurry. hehehe

SNOW!!

The kids all had a great time out in the snow. Teresas kids were out playing too. This was supposed to be the most snow Port Orchard has received in over 20 years. And there was a LOT!!!

Alycyn is in the pink. Then Logan in red and Joey in blue.

This is my backyard, See how high the snow is to the table and car? Crazy

Amber Eating the worlds biggest snow cone. And Josh in the background.

Eric is too cute!! Can't get that binki away from him. Look at the snow up to his knees?

New Baby!!!

No, I'm not having a baby. I just started watching a 3 month old baby boy today. He is soo stinking cute!!! It took most of the day to get Eric to accept him and when he did he wouldn't leave him alone. He was trying to give him toys and pat his head. He was very gentle but forcefull. hahaha! We got a real cute picture of Eric sitting on my lap and then Braydon (the baby) on Eric's lap. Logan also had fun with him. He fed him and held him and enjoyed him most of the day. He is a good baby too. Alex laid on the floor with him and read him a goosebumps book. :) I'm glad the boys are accepting him.

CUTIES!!!

Alex loves his baby brother. :)

Blackberries!!!

They love the blackberries!!! I give them a bowl to put them in and they never make it into the bowls. It's cute.

Alex is in Cub Scouts!!

This is his first activity... The Raingutter Regatta. He had lots of fun. He got to put together and paint his own sail boat ahead of time. He won the first round and then cheered on everyone else after his second round. Doesn't he look so cute in his uniform?

Tom's new job!!!

I am so stinkin' excited!!! So at Tom's current job, he is a service adviser for Hyundai and he works 10.5 hour days and and has an hour drive to and from on top of that. He will now be working for US Bank at a branch less than 10 minutes away and only 8 hour days!!! How exciting is that? We figured it out and we will be seeing him 25 more hours per week!!!! Fun!! I can't wait!!! So his first day is October 6th. He has a lot to learn though becuase he will be doing the mortgates and car loans and teller and everything else they do. He'll do great though. He always picks up on everything right away.

Point Defiance Zoo

The boys loved the sharks. Not always easy to get them together for a picture :)

And the highlite of the day... Watching the whale pee!!

Twilight

Not too much to post in the last week or so cause I have been addicted to the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers!! Oh my goodness. They are so awsome. I still have 2 more to go and I can't wait to get them from my sisters when they finish. There is a problem though, I keep putting me and Tom in the books as the main charactors. I have never been so into a book that I actually cried. How pathetic is that? Well, if yo havn't yet I would highly recomend them. Thanks Katie for telling me about them!!!

My poll dancer

Eric had fun with the game too. :P

Aug 16th -Family Get 2 gether

This is my Dad playing a realy fun game. I totally want to get it. He is sticking his tongue out in every picture I took of him playing it.

This is my Mom and I at our family get together a last Saturday. It was so nice to see people I havn't seen for a while and have never seen actually. I didn't know half of the people there. Sad.

A picture Alex's Nanna sent me from San Diego. He is so Handsome is't he?

My back yard!!

I looked out by back window one day and this is what we saw!! I love seeing all the wildlife. We also have a couple beavers, ducks, geese and of course fish.

Chuck E Cheese

Couple pics of Eric on his favorite rides. The one in the truck is with Julien (Teresa's youngest). They are best friends. It is so cute cause every time they see eachother, they run up and give a big hug.

Del Mar Fair

Yes, I know it is now the San Diego County Fair but those of us that grew up there will never call it that. :) The middle picture is the best ride!! It was so fun. The bottome is Rylea nad me and the top is me and Eric.

Raiden

This is our dog, Raiden. He is about 5 months old. Akida and German Shepard mixed. He is gonna be a big boy :)

Wild Animal Park

Tom Eric & I went to San Diego in July. So fun!! This is at the Wild Animal Park with Melissa and her daughter, Rylea and Danny Carpenter. Rylea had such a crush on Danny she was copying everything he did and called him "boyfriend". It was so cute!!
