Down on Grandpa's farm

Christmas morning

Christmas morning seems so long ago, but here are the pictures anyway. We had a great Christmas this year and the kids were spoiled, again. It was a great day and the kids did enjoy playing with all of their new toys. This year we decided to go to my parents on Christmas eve, so we got to stay home all day. It was fun and relaxing. Justin and I tried to get to bed early, but as always Justin was working on presents until really late.

Santa brought Joslyn a few dress up outfits, Tinkerbell, Jasmine, and Cinderella. She loved them!


All the kids playing on the new chair Justin bought for us. It went a long with the new desk he bought.


Noah looks so sad, maybe its because Joslyn scratched his face. It was awful, but it really didn't stop him from having a great Christmas.


Joslyn also got some new furniture for her loving family dollhouse.


Andrew slept for most of the excitement, but he joined us later and really had no idea what was going on. But isn't he cute!


This is Ellie making a funny face in front of her art desk. She loves to make books, and color and write and this art desk has been just perfect for her.


Taylor and her loot. She really wanted a DS, and Santa was nice enough to bring her one. She also got a butterfly home, and she is so excited for spring when she can watch her caterpillars turn into butterflies!


Taylor and her nintendo DS.


Santa brought Noah a jeep, he loves it and gives rides to his sisters all the time. We keep it in the basement where there is lots of room to ride.


Here is a picture of our living room after Santa's visit,I was fast asleep!

Makeovers by Noah

Have you ever wondered what a makeover by a two year old boy would look like? I didn't, but Noah decided that Andrew needed one. He got a hold of the girls makeup and decorated the top of Andrew's sweet, bald head. When I saw it, I was a little mad, but I had to laugh. Andrew didn't seem to mind one bit.

Matt's (our) new bathroom

After months of working little by little on our basement bathroom, it is finally finished! Well 95% finished. It still has a couple of things that need to get done. But in Justin's defense I have been working a lot of weekends, and Justin doesn't have much free time to work on it. But, it is mostly done and I think it turned out great! It is really pretty and Matt is so happy to finally have his own bathroom. So now we can move on to the next project. I think we are going to finish the guest room and storage room downstairs. I also have some plans for a little master bedroom remodel. We will see how long it takes to get that done!

Fun with Aunt Cortney

Yes, I might finish blogging about last year....this year! I am going to try to get it done so I can print my blog book for the year. Things have just been a little crazy lately. Good crazy! These funny pics were taken when Cortney was visiting. The kids love all of the aunts and uncles and they always have fun. Cort was trying to scare the kids by putting Andrew's church vest on her head.

I got some new undies

No, not me silly. Noah! He decided that he wanted to potty train. I wasn't even going to attempt it until he was 3, but he had different plans. And actually he is doing pretty well. Well, except for the playing with his poop thing. He goes pee in the potty all of the time and even went at church last week. And he loves, loves, loves his underwear. It is all disney, and he was super excited to get it.
