Finally Some Pictures!!

Well Chris finally got his new computer and the back-ups installed so we could back up all of our pictures etc. Here some for the past month.

Riding on Daddys back and giving him hugs at the same time...I also helped him install his new computer and get the back-ups working so Mom could post these wonderful pictures of me!!





This picture was so cute and yet broke my heart just a little...Brooke was sick with a ear infection and she was watching our neighbors play outside...she stayed there for about 20 min just watching them play and pointing to me...I felt so bad...as soon as she was feeling better we bundled up and went outside for a little to play.


Our new phrase at our house..is usually Brooke, Stop pulling your pants down...Brooke "Where are your pants"...she is contantly taking them and then her diaper off if we do not catch her fast enough...she thinks its funny. She also checks her babies several times to make sure that they have not Poo-pooed....if so then we have to change them. Even though it is impossible for them to go...explaining that to a 20 month old is not as easy!!






Sitting at our Table eating a snack...she eats so good now that we have stopped feeding her in her High Chair..she loves to sit at her table like a big girl.


Playing with our Babies..taking them all for a ride in the stroller or in our Grocery cart....she loves her babies!!






Hanging out with our Stuffed Animals in our Playroom


She went crazy for this Balloon...we were grocery shopping in Kroger and they gave her this Balloon...it was a smooth trip..just because of this Bawooon!!

**Update on the Used Toys/Clothing Law**

Today the Consumer Product Safety Commission released a statement clearing up some of the confusion about the new law regarding kids toys/clothing. Looks like consigning and re-sale won't be a problem after all. They'll just have to make sure they're not selling anything that's been recalled. Here's a link to the release.

We got a new desktop computer so I have not been able to downloaad any pictures until Chris gets the external hard drive set-up that we back up all of our pictures to....but as soon as he does I will have a bunch :)

This is just Nonsense

So apparently the Great Minds in Washington have gotten together and decided the only way to protect our children from dangerous toys and goods from China etc is to create a ban on selling used clothing and toys that is not marked with a date. What will happen to the garage sales and consignment sales that I go to a few times a year. They sell quality toys and clothing but because they will not be marked with a date they will no longer be sold. Not to mention the crafters, sahm who make a living by making handmade goods. They will have to submit there items for testing. I am sure there is more to this and I will interested in seeing how they police such a thing....If anyone knows anything more..please let me know. Here is a link to where I have read about it. http://www.change.org/ideas/view/save_handmade_toys_from_the_cpsia

Christmas Day 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas. I will remember Brooke's face always. Although she had no idea where everything came from..she just knew she had new stuff to play with. Christmas was a very busy day. We started off at home and then left for 3 additional houses to spend Christmas with our families. Brooke was very blessed to have a wonderful Christmas and was spoiled at all the houses she went to.

Christmas at home.













First stop Christmas at Gammy's and Pappy's






The Big wheel was our nephews John-Michael but Brooke loved it...def a future present!

Second stop, Christmas at Sitti's

Jen's Christmas Party

Saturday night was my work Christmas party....our parties are always so much fun. Every year we have a karaoke competition and over last few years the competition gets kinda of steep...we no longer just get up there and sing a song, you have to have a performance prepared. This year we decided to sing "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky...David was willing to be our Italian Stallion..haha poor guy, its bad enough that he works with ALL women but he gets stuck doing whatever we want him to do...Thank Goodness he is a good sport. He ordered his robe and trunks mainly because his son would want to play dress up after the party. We went to Hobby Lobby and got our shirts and painted them for around 4.00 each...not bad considering we won $300.00...for our performance and are the 2008 Christmas Party Champs....it is so much fun to see what each group will come up with. Here are a few pics.


Our "Italian Stallion" AKA David...we could not have won without you.
