My handsome little dude all dressed up for Sissy's Christmas Program...

This was day 3 of the mystery rash which we later discovered was due to the particular strain of croup he had...it apparently ends in this rash. During the program he got very hot and flushed and we started seeing the hives under his pants so we took his little sweater vest off to cool him down...

Snugglin' with Tiffany...big flirt...he was pretty tired though, it was a long program and it didn't even start until after his bedtime!

All done performing, she nearly jumped with joy when she spotted us...they did a wonderful job...videos coming soon!

Rare family shot...

How cute are they?! BFF's...

They're hugging!

Grace as Mary...the imagination on this girl! Love it!

Another thank you to Mom and Dad for the book, read by my Mom...I cried!

Thank you Mimi and Pop-pop!

My mom saw these in a magazine and asked my Dad to make them and they turned out so cute!! "What part of "Take me to Mimi's" don't you understand?" Love 'em :)

Little model...

This box was lying on its side waiting to go out to the garage for trash...

Grace drags a pillow, book and flashlight inside and loved it!

Goooooofball!

Something about both these pictures that make it oh so easy to see them as teenagers together...

Desperately trying to wear Dada's shoe out the door!

Dressed and loaded up for school!

His 'man bag'

He is very into Dora these days and has added 'Dora' and 'backpack' to his vocabulary...love this age!

We got a new toy from Granny...it involves a gun, soft bullets and balls that hover over a target. She knows us well :)

"Yahooooo! I did it!"

"Mama! No pictures, I've gotta perfect my aim first!"

We knew this was bound to end badly...

The cover of the next Barbie book...

Grace noticed that the covers of her Barbie books are just photographs of actual Barbie's posed in a scene so she asked if she could make her own...This particular book is about Barbie's house. It's a sci fi thriller. Stay tuned.

Boys and their bottles...

She's been practicing and perfecting this Barbie song...you can hear her over and over again in her room at quiet time...sorry it's sideways!

Chattin' away...

The following posts are dedicated to my older brother Jeff!! Thanks for coming out, it meant the world to us to have you here!

Super fun night, Transiberian Orchestra followed by dinner and dancing at Tao!

Yummy dinner at the Hofbrauhaus

Had a wonderful afternoon exploring and hiking at Red Rock Canyon!

Yes it is as high as it looks, my heart stopped a few times watching them!

Quick 2 hour hike before we left the 'red rocks'

It's hard work, this hiking stuff...whew!
