Monster Pictures!

Here are some more of Matthias' little friends with their Monsters!

Christmas Eve....Eve Party!

Every year we have a Christmas Eve, Eve party but this year we will be out of town so we had one a little bit early! We made Mexican Food and had Margaritas. It was really fun! Here are some pictures of the kids with their Monsters that Mom and I made.

My New Hat!

Nana made me this new hat for Christmas and it is so cute! I love wearing it and it keeps me so warm!

Happy 2nd Birthday Matthias!

We had a quiet Birthday party for Matthias this year. He was just getting over Croup and We just didn't want to have tons of kids running around like crazy so we had a few friends for dinner and cake! It was really fun and low-key. I can probably get away with not having a huge celebration for the next few years because Matthias doesn't really get it yet. He did have a great time and it was less stressful for me. I made him a firetruck cake which took me a few hours to do, not like the lion from last year that took five hours. I gets easier every year. I always loved the cakes my Mom made for me so I wanted to keep the tradition going. Happy Birthday to my little Munchkin!

Turning 37

Ick.....already? I don't feel a day over 18! My body may not still look 18 but I sure don't feel any different. I look in the mirror and am amazed at what I see! Who is that woman? I do feel so blessed however at what my 37 years has brought me...we are all happy and healthy, I have a totally sexy husband who is hard working for his family and loves me without a doubt, my yummy Matthias whom I have waited all of my life for and some really great friends! It seems to be going by too fast for my liking. I guess we just have to take everyday as if it were our last and be thankful for what we have.

We went out with Andrea and Scott on Saturday for my Birthday for drinks and a movie, we had a great time. We went to see Twilight and I was a little disappointed in the first movie after reading the book. I thought it would have been way more intense, maybe because I am so "in love" with Edward. He makes me melt! Sorry Andrew!!! I just heard that there will be a second movie this morning so that makes me really happy! I just don't know if I will be able to get anyone to go see it with me, I was the only one out of the group that liked it!

Poop on the Potty!

On the Eve of Matthias' 2nd Birthday he went poop on the Potty! Yeah! It has been nine days and it hasn't happend again. We are going to keep on trying. Wish us luck!

Dad's 70th Birthday!

We celebrated my Dad's 70th Birthday on Saturday night. We had friends and family over to our house for a party. We had a great time! I Love you Dad, you are such an amazing man and a great role model for Matthias!

Halloween

We had a great time on Halloween! We had some friends and family over for pulled pork sandwiches, baked potato salad and baked beans. Then we went to Boise First for "Trunk or Treat"! This was a totally new thing to me as of last year, people decorate their car trunks and then you go around and Trick or Treat at them. The kids have alot of fun and then you go inside for carnival games. We left at 7:30 and went Trick or Treating! It was so fun to watch Matthias say ......"Trick or Treat" by the end of the night he was really getting the hang of it and was asking for...one more and then two more...the funny thing is people would just give him more! Too cute right now but we will have to teach him better manners! I can't blame people though, I'd give him more too! Such a cutie pie! Growing up too fast! Poor Mama.

Happy 4th Birthday E!

Boo at the Zoo

We went to Boo at the Zoo on Saturday with some friends and family and it was super-fun!

The kids had a blast and it is so much fun to see all the little kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes!

Bubble Baby

Look at this little Bathing Beauty!

I had to get Matthias smelling delicious for our company tomorrow!

Uncle Steve, Auntie Jenn, Evan and Colin are coming from Canada. Yeah!

Let's Play

These pictures were taken at playgroup today. The top three are three little girls that have recently come home from Ethiopia. Such little blessings!

Here is a picture of my friend Angela and her two beautiful babies!
This is Matthias and little Tezeta from playgroup! I want this to be a pre-arranged marriage. So cute together! Of course they just smack each other around right now.

My Fab Hubby!

I just realized that I haven't really said anything about my Husband Andrew in my Blog yet....so here we go! Andrew is my partner and Best Friend. There is so much that I could say about him since we've been together almost 17 years but I thought I would narrow it down to 10 things I love about Andrew!

1. He Loves the Lord

2. Sexy

3. Hard Working

4. Stubborn

5. Confident

6. Best Friend

7. Great Daddy

8. Loves Shoes and Watches

9. Strong

10. Let's me eat his Cake

The last thing is very important to me because anything that has frosting on it is my hugest weakness.....except for Matthias of course!

Mom's 67th Birthday Brunch

My sister Lynn and I put together a brunch for my Mom for her 67th Birthday! All of my Aunties were there to celebrate with us ! Mom had no idea that everyone would be there and she cried, she was so happy to see everyone! It was great to see everyone. After brunch we went down to all the quaint shops down in Sumner and shopped the afternoon away! It was so much fun! I Love you Mama! Happy Birthday!

Brent's Big 40th!

We had a blast at Brent's Birthday party! He was so excited! We ate and partied all night! Well, we partied til we were tired which was about 10pm. I guess this means that we are getting pretty old! We did have a great time and we all pitched in and bought Brent a recliner for his Birthday! He's an old man now, the big 40.....and I will always be able to say that since he's three years older than me! Hee! Hee!

Me and My Baby!

We were just getting ready to go out to dinner on Wednesday night and Andrew took this picture of us. How did my Baby get soooooo big? He will be 2 next month and I don't know where the time went. It makes me a little bit sad to see him getting so big so fast. Why can't time slow down for just a few years, everyone says that every stage of your childs life is wonderful and I believe it but I wish that it didn't happen so fast.
