Christmas gift......

We went and had pictures taken for our gift to Jeff's parents. I thought for sure that one of us would slip and tell them about our surprise, we even all showed up at their house right after pictures, matching, and they never caught on. They were completely surprised.

Right before this picture was taken, Braden waited until we all sat down and then yelled "SNAKE", you should have seen how fast everyone jumped off those rocks. He got a huge kick out of messing with us. Luckily my mother-in-law didn't hear Ellie telling her this story when we got home. We thought our surprise was going to be ruined for sure.

We had to try this shot many times to catch it just right, we had a blast and laughed a lot.

Ellie got lost in the dog pile after Jeff jumped on top.

I love Christmas......but I am so glad it is over!

This Christmas was so much fun, it is by far my favorite time of the year. We had a blast hanging out with our families. It is so fun to see the excitement in the eyes of his little brothers and sister. It reminds me when I was a kid and I could never sleep on Christmas Eve, I was always the first one in the room and the first to wake everyone up in the morning, my parents would try to make me go back to bed but I was far too excited.

At my husbands family party they put on a video from 1991 which had all his aunts and uncles families opening gifts, it was so much fun to watch.

Although this is my favorite time it was a little crazy this year, of course 3 days before Christmas our refrigerator broke and it cost so much to repair it, that put a damper on our Christmas spending. I guess that all comes with owning a home, those lovely unexpected expenses at the wrong time!!

Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas and we hope you have a Happy New Year. Time to make some New Years resolutions! I know I have lots on my list.

Christmas Party....

This is my cute grandparents at the party last night. Santa and his elf come to my aunt's house every year for our party and the kids go crazy.

Kadence hated Santa last night but she loved the little baby he gave her. I took her out to play in the bouncing thing and she laughed so hard, she kept trying to walk around but kept falling all over the place. I think she liked that when she fell it was actually soft and she bounced all over the place.

My little neice

Is this not the cutest hat ever? Someone made it for her. Every time my sister takes her places wearing this people can't help stopping them and commenting on how cute she is in it. She is precious.

I love my little neice, just being around her makes me smile. She is so sweet. She is getting so big so fast. I just thought this was a cute picture of her. Her little sister should be arriving any day, we are looking forward to it so we can love and spoil another baby.

Arnett Family picture

We just took this family photo on Sunday, it was so funny. They had us bring one of our dogs (Rusty) to be in the photo and Jeff's little sister was crying the whole time because she is afraid of our dog. I was going to kill my husband, he shaved his head the other night without telling me we were suposed to get this photo.

Random Family pictures.....

Nothing beats a horse ride from Pa.

Kadence loves coming with us to get pedicures, she likes to stick her feet in the water.

She looks cute.....

Ok, so my little niece absolutely loves this cute little hamster, she calls him "hammy". I decided I would get her out of the cage so it could run around on my little sis' bed, as soon as I stuck my hand in the cage it jumped up and bite me so hard on my finger I couldn't believe how bad it hurt. My niece just laughed as the hamster went flying onto the floor because it was latched onto my finger. Nobody can pick this thing up anymore, it is so funny.

No Time.....

I just realized how long it has been since I last posted. Things have been so crazy and busy for us that I have not had a chance to do anything. My Camera is dead and the charger must have been misplaced in the move so I can't get any pictures off of it. I am going to buy a new charger so I can get some updated photos on here. Well my sister is going to be have her baby any time now, we are so excited. Christmas is coming so fast, I cant believe it. I am so excited, this is the best time of year. We just bought our first real tree, my husband really wanted a real one because he loves the smell of them. I started decorating it yesterday and it is so much fun. One of my dogs won't stay away from it, hopefully he doesn't eat my decorations I am putting on it. Well hopefully I will have some new pictures coming soon.

The Begining

Cruise to Alaska 2005

This was our boat that we went on, it was HUGE!

Alaska was beautiful, but very cold. This is in front of the some glaciers.

We got off the ship in Canada, it was awesome. The people were very friendly and I loved their accents.

This is us eating dinner, the food was incredible! You have to dress up when you go to the dining rooms so it was very fun.

My sister Angela and her family

Kadence, David (brother-in-law), & Angela
