A special treat

Dillon and I have a HUGE sweet tooth, especially for doughnuts. We love them; it’s like our “thing”. Last weekend we were lucky enough to have my Dad come for a visit, and better yet he made us some homemade doughnuts…………..mmmmmm! We had a great visit with him, but a special thanks for the treat that is still being talked about in our house.

The living aquarium

Last week a friend invited us to the living aquarium, so Carson and I went. We had fun, and Carson LOVED all the fish! The whole time we were there he keep pointing at all the fish with his cute little finger and his goofy face saying “fish, woooh, fish”. So much fun!!

On a side note I got out this baby toy for my brothers baby that was over here, we decided to stick Carson under it, and he actually played. It was pretty dang funny!

Bath time and piggy back rides

Here we are, just hanging out and doing what we do best….. having fun!

Dillon’s day out

On Saturday Dillon got a day out with his dad to the monster trucks. He had fun watching the trucks, but the real treat was seeing the trucks driving in the mud! He was so excited when he came home and told me all about it.

what now

The holidays are over, the tree is down, the decorations are stored, the presents are all opened, the family festivities are now done, the kids are back in school, and the husbands back to the normal work schedule, what is there to look forward to now? I will tell you what....

I LOVE YOU BOYS!

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas! We had an awesome Christmas, and got more than we could ever ask for. Dillon got a lot of hot wheels, Lego’s, a pillow pet, and a triple ice trucker and much much more. Carson also got some hot wheels, a race car set, a farm, new dog with a blanket, and lots more too! The boys also got a new train table to share. Chris and I got a lot of gift cards, a new BBQer, and a new TV! (Our old one is pretty much dead) We are so lucky to have so much and most of all are very grateful to have our family, we hope you all had a great Christmas, we sure did!

Our Christmas magic

To get a full understanding of this story, I must bore you with a little story first. Every year we go to wheeler farms to take a tractor ride, and talk to Santa. We had decided to go last night, but to our dismay, everything was shut down. We were so sad, this is such a fun tradition for us, and we have quite enjoyed it in the past years. When we were leaving Dillon was very sad and asking where Santa was. I told him I wasn’t sure but I bet he had somewhere else he had to be tonight.

Ok, let the magic begin. We got home and Dillon was in his bedroom cleaning when to our surprise we heard honking outside. I opened the door to Santa and Mrs. Clause on a trailer being pulled by a truck. We grabbed Carson, and yelled for Dillon. He was SO SHOCKED!!! I have no words to even describe the look on his face. We ran down to the trailer, talked to Santa and got in our last minute requests. Carson was just waiving, and Dillon was in total shock and could hardly believe it. Dillon told us that Santa wasn’t at the farm because he had to come find him at his house, and he better be good now because Santa knows where he lives! After we got back inside Dillon went back to his room to finish cleaning, I headed down the hall and peeked in on him. Under his breath and shaking his head with a HUGE smile on his face he was saying “I can’t believe this just happened to me, I just can’t believe it”. Now that is magic! Unfortunately I didn’t grab the camera, but we do have some other fun Christmas pictures to share, I just wish I could have gotten his reaction on camera…. I love this time of the year!

Carson didn’t want to cooperate, hence the smile on his face!
