Cute Pics of Asher

Had to post these fun pictures of Asher with his huge candy cane that he used as a cane and jamming yet another peppermint patty in his mouth. He must of eaten a pound of chocolate throughout the day and man he crashed hard at the end of the day. Let's just say tantrum and Mom hid the candy so it wouldn't be an issue for the next day.

Christmas Morning

Here's some pictures of the kids with their new loot. Asher loved pretty much every gift. He got a basketball hoop and ball and knew just what to do, without any guidance. He also got this huge fighter jet plane, that I think Asher is going to have to fight Chadd to play with:) Addi and London both got game players, a Leapster and Didj, which they played almost all day. Addi was so cute she told me all she wanted was a poetry book from Shel Silverstein, a nintendo ds, and a fur real pet. She was so excited to get "Don't bump the glump" and "Tale of Despereaux" and she loved the Didj and said it was better than the nintendo ds because it taught her stuff. But, I think one of her favorite things was moon shoes that she jumped in for 1/2 the day. London asked for an outfit that "mommy likes":), a pet-she got sea monkeys, and some little pocket pets. She loved the leapster. All were happy for what they got and then we had a very lazy day hanging out at home doing nothing. This was a first for us since we are always leaving for Utah soon after presents, so it was a nice break. Plus, you wouldn't believe it but we took down our christmas tree that night and hauled it to a park where they turn it into mulch. It was nice to have done before leaving for Utah, plus now I'm not so worried about having my house burn down from the dried out christmas tree:)

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve, we always open a couple of presents, usually pjs or slippers and a new christmas book (like probably a lot of people) and Chadd read them the story. Here's some cute pics of the kids in their new pjs and Asher's new spiderman slippers that he calls "shoes". He loves them!

I had to put both pics of the kids, because I think it's so funny how London always poses! Little Miss Sassy! Had to put a picture in of me and miss Addi with our new hairdos. Addi loves hers and thinks she is "it" with long bangs! It was fun to go with her, she is growing up so fast and should be taller than her Mom in the next couple years:)

Christmas Eve Dinner

Again, thanks to Chadd we had a great Christmas Eve dinner. He got tamales at costco and made a nicely plated mex

i
can meal. It was very yummy and glad I didn't have to worry about that after me and Addi came home from the salon.

Trip to the Natural History Museum

Ok, note to self, don't set yourself up for disappointment when you ask Chadd to take pics of kids at some outing. Chadd was great and took the kids to the museum while I exercised, wrapped presents, and met me at the hair salon later to get mine and Addi's hair cut. I sent him with the camera to get fun pics of the kids at the museum, which me and Asher have never been to. Well, this is the picture Chadd got of their outing, the trip home while Asher crashed with his sandwich in his hand (I found old cheese left in the car a few days later from this trip:). Well, at least he got one picture.

Fun at the Mall?!

At the mall, again! We decided we should let the kids have some fun as well:) We are such nice parents. You can see the girls

o the left of Chadd on the carousel making themselves sick. I did that once with London, never again. Good times!

Annual White Elephant Christmas Party

We had our white elephant christmas party and had such a fun time. Lots of laughs with people fighting over chocolate body paint and some other fun goodies. Our friends were so excited to get our silly gift, which I cannot reveal until after my families party in Utah. It doesn't feel like Christmas until we have had this party, so we are grateful for all our friends who could make it to the party.

Nice

We were just taking some pics during the holidays and Addi had to have a picture of her new talent.

London's last day of school

London got to wear pjs for her last day of school before winter break. She was so funny, she was worried kids at school were going to make fun of her for wearing these specific pjs. Where does she come up with this stuff? But then she needed a pic of herself.

My little chocoholic

My little boy is a chocoholic and will use all his pouting, crying, screaming skills to get what he wants the little turkey. Man he had a good time "helping" Mom bake.

Fort Building

My girls, especially London, love to build forts, much to my chagrin, as they think it has to always be built downstairs in our family room and that it is my job to clean it up. But they have such a fun time. Asher didn't love it too much, he is crawling out of it as fast as he can crying.

Asher and guns

Asher came running out of the kitchen with two finds from the kitchen cabinet that accidently was left open. A glue gun and hoze nozzle that he started shooting at me. So funny! I swear that boy can make a gun out of anything, even peanut butter sandwiches.

Girls enjoying the snow

The girls had a blast jumping on the tramp in the snow and Asher, well, he had an ok time:)

Addi sledding

Here's Addi getting the most out of the snow. She is trying to sled down our driveway.

Snow Day

Rio Rancho got some snow the other day, it snowed all day long. So, I got the call that school was cancelled which is so funny. Anyways, the kids had fun making a little snowman, jumping on the trampoline with all the snow and Addi decided it would be fun to ride her sled down our rock pile on our driveway to the street. Good thing no cars came when she went all the way to the other side to our neighbor's driveway. Asher was dying to go outside and I had this older hand-me-down snowsuit that cracked us up, got him in it and then he was ticked with it on. He fun outside for a little bit and then he was just mad with the attached gloves, so we went back inside and he was mad again. Oh brother!
