Pictures With Santa

Well, we want and had pictures taken with Santa Clause today. The line was atrocious. The people infont of and behind were obnoxious, and of course we showed up right when Santa was scheduled to get his fill of milk and cookies. Anyhow, Chuck was able to walk through the mall with the boys while I waited in line for what seemed an eternity. Thak God for a large purse, and the forethought to bring a book (go Mommy!).

Once it was our turn, Nicholas jumped right up wihtout a problem and told Saint Nick what he wanted. Collin, on the other hand, well... you caqn see the pictures. It didn't go over so well.

And Christopher, much to our dismay, is too "cool" and too "old" to sit on Santa's lap. :(

At the end of the day, Nicholas was satisfied... and I got the pictures taken.

~*~SNOW~*~

Highway 95 & Durango
Crazy Snow!

The Lodge at Mt.Charleston
Look at all that snow!
Nicholas jumped right in, he was so eager to play in that
funny white stuff that he so rarely sees!

Nick getting a feel for the snow!


Nicholas and Collin ran for the deck at the lodge.
They really didn't know what to make of the cold!

Snow Angel!
(Snow Imp would be more accurate!)

Nick's Snow Angel

Collin getting up from making his snow angel.
It's not very thorough, but it was 21 degrees up there,
so I really don't blame him!

The two little boys' snow angels.

Collin on his way to the truck.

Look at all that snow!

I didn't show all the times that they ran back into the
lodge and sat by the fire just long enough to slightly defrost,
then ran back outside again.
I am sure that the employees at the lodge loved the
tracks of snow that we left in and out!

While the little boys had fun playing outside in the snow,
the big boy had fun playing in his truck in the snow.
It was a huge toll on my nerves, but the truck proved to be *very* capable.
Thank goodness.

We should have brought a tow strap.
We could have made some quick cash
by pulling the idiot drivers out of the ditches!

It really was fun to point and laugh!
(I know that's evil, but I really don't have any sympathy for morons.)

Next time, tow strap... for sure!

Hope you like the pictures!

Decorating The Tree

Here's some recent pictures, finally!!!

The boys had tons of fun decorating the tree...
And now they are (im)patiently awaiting Santa's arrival!

Eating supper on their new plates!

Sluuurrrp!

Cheese!

Yummy!

Halloween Pictures!

I am Ironman!

He wasn't very happy about being a cowboy,
until the other trick-or-treaters
sang praises to his costume!

I don't even know what he was!?!?

(But he got what he cared about, CANDY!!!)

Welcome!

Welcome to the new blog for our family!

I've done this once before... a long long time ago, and I really didn't update very often.

I really don't expect it to be much different this time... but I definitely will not delete it this time!

So, whether I update weekly, or every three months... It'll be here.

Plus, I like showing off my kids!
