dancing with the stars....

OH my goodness, if only this could happen every night...we were dancing to Christmas music and it was one of those moments when you think you might be doing something right and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, that's what Christmas is all about!

These are some before church pictures...we were actually ready a little early and this is my fave dress of Chloes, go ebay!

Just a bunch of pix of my lovely family...

So ya this is from Thanksgiving and the cowboy Christmas but we went to the fair grounds and had a blast! And yes i'm a little camera happy!

Fun with ice cream and the dryer....

so maybe I've been a little camera happy lately!

Thanksgiving

Here's a slide with tons of pictures so watch out!

Baby Girl

I never had a clue how much you could care for you own children...it's an undeniable love, unconditional and it will never end...Cole he was the first and will have the love of the first child but today is about Chloe. There is a different love between mother and daughter, not that I love Chloe more than Cole it's just different. There is a different bond there, I don't know what it is but Clint says the same about Cole. But here's to Chloe my little princess. She's got attitude enough for a teenager, she's a fighter, and stubborn as can be, but her loves will melt you heart, I just hope that I can be the mother that she needs.

catch up!

So I'm going to start with last saturday when we opened Jodi's store... Well it's open and it's so much fun! I love to go down and work, it's good for the kids to be getting away from me and it's awesome for me to have a break! Then comes my birthday which was on Wednesday... My parents took us out on Tuesday to La Casita...mmmm and gave me a card and some moolah, then wednesday I went and opened up Jodi's store and there were flowers, a balloon tied to a butterfinger, and the denim dress from downeast that I love and the zebra wallet... then I left at 1 and went and got my hair done, it's pretty dark and I got some red in it and I love it! Then my BFF came and decorated my house(thanks Rachel). Then last night we went to The Branding Iron to eat. Becky(Clint's mom)gave me a gift card to jodi's store and Brandy made a cake...all in all I think it was a pretty awesome birthday!

Guns

The other day Rusty gave this gun to Cole since he is the only grandson on that of the family. This 22 was Christopher Laytons sons gun so its Cole's 4th great grandpa's gun, it's about 100 years old and in amazing shape.

Happy halloween!

When we went to my parents my dad came down the stairs in this mask... the kids were scared but Cole figured it out but Chloe was mortified, she didn't look at my dad the same for the rest of the night. She kept looking at my dad like this.Then he went and got this and now Chloe was just wierded out.Then we hurried and threw it on to get a pix.

Cole loved it....kinda scared me.

The halloween shot of the family.
Up at the grandparents, my grandma didn't want to cause she said her hair wasn't done...it looks fine to me!
The candy thief stealing candy out of cole's bucket.

This is a back shot of Chloe...I made the tutu, 5 yards of tulle!

My two little shananagans.....

Cheerio goop!

Sherral sorry I totally stole this but these are deliscious and kinda healthy? They have nuts!

1 stick of butter

1/2 bag of marshmallows

In a large pot melt the butter, then add the 'mallows and melt them too.

1/2 box plain cheerios or generic brand equivalent

1/2 cup chopped cashews

1/2 cup chopped almonds

Add these three ingredients. Stir. Pour out and flatten on wax paper. Let cool - if you want!

Is this bad....?

So is it bad if I eat like 3 or 4 reeses peanut butter cups but then I eat some cucumbers with ranch...does that cancel it out? If not I'm doomed cuz I can't do without my sugar....

Camping fun!

So it's a little late but we went camping/hunting 2wks ago and it was so much fun! This is my little princess, she had been taking a nap and we were all sitting around the fire and then all of a sudden this is what we saw! So cute I love this little girl! The only bad thing was that it rained the whole first day we were there so the second day this is what you get, the kids playing down in the creek and turning into mud balls! But they had a blast and that's what matters right?Notice the hand print on Cole's back, so cute!

Cole was taking pix with the camera and I had to throw this in, so funny!He did have seeds in his mouth, it's not chew....don't worry.

Breakfast time with the three amigos....these three are trouble let me tell you!
I was trying to get them to just smile but this is what i kept getting...oh well what can you expect from three year olds?
Cole absolutely refused to look at the camera....makes me mad somethimes....

And this was Chloe the whole time always eating something....oreos right now.
We made a pit stop on the way there and it was awesome!
