Santa!!

Mimi and I had taken the boys to see Santa Clause. This was Kenny's first time meeting him, and he loved him! Kyle...not so much again this year. He didn't freak out and scream, but did not want anything to do with him. Still got good pictures, and great Santa memories. It is so sad, when you really think about it.. the things us parents put our poor children through just for a stinkin' picture... :) :) Hahaha... At least it's all done in good fun!! Right??!! I think they will appreciate it when they're older.

Family Fun!

Ok.. Is this just the cutest!! Kyle was reading to Kenny, and then on his account decided to give him a big brother hug. Kyle really loves Kenny, and is so sweet with him.

These pictures are when we went to "Old Thyme Christmas" in Colusa. Hoblit Motors(Tim's work) always has a booth, so the boys and I got bundled up, and went out and met Daddy at work, to stroll the Christmas street. Kyle had a blast. He got to see Santa ride in the horse drawn carriage! They were too cute that night. It was a really nice time.

Time to "Trim the Tree"!! Kyle has had so much fun this year with all of Mommy's Christmas decorations. He helped me the whole time to put everything up. He was our special boy that got to put the star on top of the tree this year along with all the candy canes. This year, Mimi bought us this really pretty ornament. It is a large silver "K" covered in crystals. It is so pretty, and Tim placed it perfectly in the middle of the tree. Every morning, the 1st thing Kyle does is go around the house and plug in all of our "kismas nights". I haven't taken a picture yet.. but he and I also decorated outside all by ourselves with out any help from Daddy. We put up Christmas lights on the house, and in the grass. It's kinda tacky, but pretty at the same time. That is Kyle's nightly chore, to turn off "His" christmas lights each night before he goes to bed. All he has been talking about is how "pitty" all the lights are. It has been so much fun to watch him through this holiday season, and see the change in this year from last. It all makes him so happy and it is so special to see the joy the holidays bring to such little people. It is so innocent and pure, and makes you remember what this time of year is really all about.

I am trying to catch up on my blogging.

Our happy little guy!!

Funny, funny picture of Kenny. Grandmom & Grandad had bought a hat just like this for Kyle when he was a new baby. So, while we were down south in September, I had found this hat for Kenny. I wanted to buy it so they both would have their own newborn cowboy hat. I never even put Kenny's on him once we got home, and then kind of forgot about it. So the other day while I was picking up his room, I came accross it and "tried" to put it on his head.. Oh my goodness..... Our little man has a big head..... :) :) It is a cute head.. but big.... So now I feel aweful, because I never got a picture of him with it on, before his head grew so much...

Aunt Mary Beth bought these cowboy boots for Kyle when we were down south last. They have Woody and Buzz Lightyear on them(Kyle LOVES Toy Story)... He absolutely loves them. He just hangs out with them on all of the time.

Happy Cousins!!!!

Kyle and Aubree loving eachother. They both just started doing this with eachother lately. They will randomly see eachother and run up to one another and just stand there and hug. It is the cutest thing ever!!

Mimi & Papa's House!!

The boys and I drove down south with Mimi a few days before Thanksgiving. We didn't do much at all.. in fact.. the whole family ended up getting sick.. and I mean the whole family... Kyle, Kenny, Papa, Uncle's, Aunt's, counsins, and Mommy....all my original plans for the trip got cancelled, so that really stunk. We did get to go see Great Grandpa and Grandma though. I also took Kyle to an indoor jump house place they have there. It was a lot of fun. He loved it... He definately impressed me with his climbing skills... He is our little monkey now. CJ, Kyle and Kenny took a bath together, and had a blast with the bubbles. Uncle Shane was able to come by and see us for a little while. We had a good time with everyone, but definately were ready to come home this time. :) :)

I just LOVE Bubbles!!!!

Thanksgiving Down South!!

We were able to be down south for Thanksgiving this year! I felt incredibly lucky!! It has been a few years since were were able to be there. We spent the holiday with Tim's family, and it was a great day! Great Grandma was there with us, and that some very special time that we were able to have with them. Dinner was absolutely delicious. Thank you Grandmom & Grandad! We had a great time, and can't wait for the next Holiday to spend with you!!

This picture is so sweet to me... I had just received new headscarves, and Kyle was telling me how pretty I was, and he wanted to try them on. Isn't it precious??!! He is such a sweet boy, and always make me feel like a beautiful Mommy, even when I feel my worst with this whole hair loss issue.
