The Carnival is in Town!!

Last week we celebrated both of the boys' birthdays. There birthdays land about 3 weeks apart and I felt bad only doing one but Luke promised me that one big party would be funner than two...so we tried it. It actually worked out lots better and much easier...I only had to come up with one cake, one menu and one theme. We decided on a carnival theme and Luke's mom was nice enough to let us have it at her dance studio. The party was complete with hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and cotton candy.

We had tons of games for the kids that include....

A pinata

A magic show that Kevin and Savannah put on...

Linc and Carson were waiting for their turn to shoot the basketball...

I could have just skipped all the games and let the kids run up and down the dance floor!

After the games, the kids get to exchange the tickets they got for prizes.

Then, it was cake time....

Make a wish Linc!

Ledger enjoyed his cake!!

The kids were waiting patiently as Linc and Ledger opened their presents...they got SpOiLeD!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

What a wonderful time of the year it has been. Things have been so crazy this year especially but it wouldn't be Christmas without it. This year has been filled with lots of family, friends and tons of PaRtIeS!! Every year we have a "Grandma Joann's Christmas Night" party in remembrance of our crazy Grandma that always used to buy us DI Christmas presents. SO, Everyone has to bring a $5 D.I. present. This year, we decided to have an ugly sweater contest as well....check out this UGLY dressed group!




Now, that is H-O-T-T Hot!

Ok, So now I'll skip all the way to Christmas morning...I didn't take any still pictures of Christmas morning at our house since I was recording all morning, but needless to say, Linc got spoiled. Although, after opening one gift he didn't want to open any more. Hmmm... maybe I'll just get him one present next year. ;) So, after presents at our house, we go up to Searle's. Christmas Eve and Day are always planned out to the hour of where we are...good thing it only comes once a year. Linc got spoiled, yet again. He won't take off his Raiders helmet..ever. He wants to sleep in it. Ha. Ha.

What a happy boy!!

Ledger and Zoey just enjoying the wrapping paper...

Now, on to my parents house....We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Dinner along with family and presents. We had a special treat having my brother home from boot camp. Linc missed his cousins and uncle so much. We are glad to have him home even though it's only for a short time.

Linc of, course got spoiled here too... he just can't wait to put up his trampoline Papa and Mimi got him...now we just need the snow to go away:)

Thanksgiving craziness!!

It has been a crazy few weeks at our house...fun but crazy. Two weeks ago I threw a surprise 50th birthday party for my mom....I didn't take one picture. I was too busy running around getting everthing ready. I was so disappointed...the party turned out great though. It was such a great party for such a wonderful Mother, Wife, Mimi and friend. We love you mom. Last week my sister had a sweet new baby girl, Paisley. She is adorable and looks just like her big sister. We are so excited to have a new baby girl in our family. She's so precious. Whenever someone in our family has a baby it's a huge occasion..everyone comes and it's such a fun day...here's some pics of the exciting day..

Thanksgiving day was awesome. Filled with lots of family and tons of food. Each holiday we spent time with each of our families...which leads to TONS and TONS of food. I didn't get as many pictures as I would like..(probably cause I was too busy eating!) but the ones I got are super cute of the boys..

The day after Thanksgiving we went to TRS with Luke's family. Shawn and Chels and Zo came down from Moscow for the week and it was so fun to see them and sweet Zoey. We miss you guys alreday!!
