Our tree decorating hold up!!

Well, we got this amazingly HUGE tree and it is awesome. So we get it set up and ready to put lights on it. Al puts all the lights we have and the tree isn't even half way done! So we hopped in the car and headed to Walmart for 7 more boxes of lights to finish the bottom!! Well, when Al was done putting those on, we still need about 3 more boxes. We had to call it quits last night and we will finish tonight! Here is a little sneak peak for those of you that are waiting!!!

Picking our Christmas Tree!!




We had a beautiful day yesterday and even into the evening. As you can see Alana is wearing her tank top at 7:30pm. It was around 72 degrees out. We found an amazing tree and it is huge! I think 9 and a half feet!! We brought it in last night, but we will decorate it tonight. The man in the picture is Don, he had quite a struggle to get the tree up on top the Suburban. I love to have a real tree, it is so beautiful and smells amazing. The kids are excited about it too. I will have more pictures of the tree tomorrow.......

Alana being so cute


Alana was singing at the top of her lungs out the window in the back seat of the mini to the song, " Say Hello to those you know, and everyone you meet"! It was on the radio and she was lovin' in! The next picture we are at Walmart, she loves to get the little shopping baskets and fill them up with the things she NEEDS! Well, I was in a hurry and so no basket today. Instead she filled her arms and everything kept falling on the floor. Finally, she stopped and said she had to figure this out!! It was pretty cute. Of course she has to put it back because we don't buy everything, she just like to think she might get it all!!









She loves to get in my purse and find my lip gloss! She has done this for a while now and she is getting pretty good at getting it on her lips and not her cheeks and chin!!!

Just some Random moments, Outs and About!!


Well, we had some silly times while I was in CO and I tried to get lots of pictures of them all but that is impossible of course. But here is a bit of the silly times to share with you and hope you all enjoy it. I will blog more later and catch up on some stories too. I am missing the kids and my sisters already but the kids are coming on the 19th of Dec. for Christmas, so I'm excited about that and so are they!! Lots to look forward too. Bye bye for now...













A Jumpin' fun day out!!!


So Sunday was Brecken's day to pick what she wanted to do and she picked the Bouncy castle jumping place. There was 6 huge different jumping castles and her and Tristin had a blast all afternoon. Me and Emily hung out and chatted and ate candy to pass the time. Then we headed to the house for some pizza and we watched the Hulk movie. It was a great day as well. The picture of Vanessa and me is the night before. We were saying our good byes. They went bowling with us and we had a good time. Missing them already.













Just the Gang.....


So here are just some photos of the the kids and me at random times just because. Aren't we a good looking bunch!!!!








Bowling with the kids!!!!



I got to go see Emily, Brecken, and Tristin on Thanksgiving night in Colorado!! It was GREAT to see them and we had BLAST while I was there. Each of the kids got to pick a day to do something they wanted to do. So the Very first night me and Emily stayed up all night and went shopping on Black Friday and it was so much fun. Christina blogged it so see her page for details...... The next day was Friday and Tristin's choice. We went bowling and it was a lot of fun. Tristin even got a strike and we all had our share of gutter balls as well!! We did a bit a shopping after and went to Chiplote' for dinner. Over all it was a fun filled day and more to come....
