CHRISTMAS...YEAH!!!

So we started a new Christmas tradition this year. We had a sleep over in our room with the kids. We put them in their sleeping bags on the floor because we didn't want them to wake up and wander into the living room on their way into our rooom and see Santa's presents early. That way we could all wander into the living room and look together. It was pretty fun!

Ooooh...the anticipation!:)

Santa brought our family the High School Musical dance mat and playstation game and sleds, he brought Sierra a cupcake making set (yeah for me!), he brought Joshua a hot wheels stunt set, and he brought Tyler noahs ark. So fun!

We opened presents youngest to oldest. So no, that is not my outfit, it is Tylers.

As you can see Joshua did not hesitate to break into his stocking candy right away.My sweet niece, Hailey, made Joshua and Tyler these adorable stocking caps. She did such a good job. I love them.

Our Christmas mess. Oodles of fun.

I got to help Sierra make cupcakes right after breakfast. I'm actually really glad that she got a present that she will play with this year. It's taken me a while to figure her out.

Sierra got a couple of 100 piece puzzles also. She put one all together by herself. No help. I was pretty darn impressed.

Joshua loves the stunt set that Santa brought. I was pretty intrigued with it too.

All in all, we had great fun!

Sierra's birthday

We have a 6 year old! I know, we're too young. Sierra turned 6 on December 5. Crazy dazy. Doesn't she look so cute in her new outfit? I love having a girl. She is the funnest little person to shop for. Rob would probably beg to differ. He's had to wait for Sierra and I while Sierra's tried on every outfit we'd let her get her hands on. I think he would have thrown us out of the store if he could. In the past we've thrown her a birthday party. They've been psycho. Sierra's cried at both of them, and my house is too small for so many kids to run around in. So this year we told her she could have one friend over. It was great. She invited her cousin and best friend Ashton. And since it was cousin Ashton, she stayed the night. Anyway, I think it was one of her best birthdays.

We taught Sierra and Ashton how to leg wrestle. They spent a lot of the rest of the evening and next day flipping eachother over. Sierra has a few bruises.

She wanted a pony cake. I did the best I could.

The best part! They literally slept in a box together.

THANKSGIVING

Okay, I'm with Tiff, what do you take pictures of on Thanksgiving day? Well, I didn't. I just thought I would add a little onto my blog to let everyone know what I am thankful for this holiday.

My dear husband. Where would I be without him? What would I be without him? Rob is such an incredible man. I will always wonder what I did to deserve him. He loves taking care of his family. And he loves spending time with us. The kids adore him, as do I, and I couldn't have asked for more. He is the best. Nobody can dispute that. :)

Sierra is definately the oldest. She is so helpful. I haven't been able to show her my love as easily as I have with Joshua and Tyler, however I am trying. Everyone says it's because she's my first and your first is just stressfull. I must admit, she did stress me out quite a bit. She has turned into such a good girl, though. She is also so much fun. I love to play with Sierra. Ya, I know, I don't show it all of the time, but she is at a stage that is so easy to play with. When it's warm we like to go outside and play hopscotch, jumprope, and do cartweels. She schools me on cartweels. We also like to play boardgames together and puzzles. She is also a very talented child. She is very coordinated. She takes ballet and does fabulous. She also likes to play Dance Dance Revolution, and does very well for a 6 year old. That's another game we like to play together. She is a great kid

Joshua is just plain awesome! He is probably the easiest kid I will ever have. He is easy to please, his tantrums last about 2 seconds, and he laughs a lot. I love people who laugh. I love people who can make me laugh. He makes me laugh all the time. He finally says a few more words than just mom and dad. I have to interpret for everyone and Sierra has to interpret for me. He's just plain cute.

Tyler is the sweetest baby ever! I can tell that he is just a loving little boy. He may cry a lot, but he just wants to know that he is loved also. At least that's what I have to tell myself. I love to cuddle him, though. I don't even mind having him sleep with me. I guess I'm just trying to enjoy his love while it lasts. Isn't that what all the old people tell us to do?

Church Halloween Party

I told Sierra that I would dress up as a witch with her. So we went to Walmart and bought us both wigs. I couldn't pass up that purple wig that matched her costume so perfectly. She was dazzling. We had a great time.

Aren't they cute? Joshua hates his mask, it's too tight on his head. He wore it long enough for us to take his picture. Tyler didn't get to dress up this year because he is not big enough to wear the costume that Joshua wore when he was his age. Plus Tyler is my third, he's only 7 months old, and I'm getting more and more lazy.
