Riding Fast!!!

This is what a WARM Decemeber Day will do to little ones!

Christmas 2016!!!

 Christmas Eve photo before going to look at lights!  :) 

 Hot Chow Chow (said like Show but the CH sound)!  

 Brian and I slept with the boys because we hated a) for them to get up so early and b) we didn't want to miss the excited faces they had!!

 These are blurry because there is so much talking and happiness!!!

 :) 

THEY WERE BLOWN AWAY!!!

 Reid was VERY tore up that Santa didn't eat ALL the cookies or that he didn't take ALL the carrots!  Santa left his treat back of TOOTHBRUSHES!! 

 Pierce looked like this most of the day with his "gameboy" as I call it.... :) 

 Reid.... well, as you know, was in HEAVEN with his vacuums!!

 New Sleeping Bags!!

 Tornado MAKE!  as Reid calls it.... but it is a Tornado lab!!  :) 

 OH THE COMPARISONS!!!!

 HA!

Again, Pierce in this position!

 :) 

Then.... before the sickness set in....(Brian and Reid got the stomach bug... Pierce and I are so far in the clear!)

They wanted to sleep in their new sleeping bags at a "Sleep Over" in the study/play room.... and then instead of sleeping they decided to talk on the phone!  

Pierce's phone is my FAVORITE!! 

:)

Merry Christmas TO ALL!!!

Tornado Sirens!

Thank you, Papa for these AMAZINGLY quiet gifts!  ;) 

Annual Picture! 2016

My two cuties, ready for Santa to come tomorrow night!

our annual picture by the tree!

It STILL shows Reid's personality!  ha!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!

Pilates Instructors

So, today I tried my hand at some Pilates on YouTube!  

Well, my INSTRUCTORs took over and even Reid said "if you are sweaty,get some water!" 

later, I noticed instructor Reid telling Pierce how to lunge! 

Watch!

So, ever since Reid got his watch from Nona and Papa, he has been wearing it 24/7.  He looks like it has been a part of him forever!  It ALSO makes him look like he is 30 years old!!!!  

Christmas Break!!!

12/22/16

Last day before Christmas Break!

 Mrs. Boone!  

Mrs. Davis!

The teachers have been PERFECT for the boys and they LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

STYLISH!!!

So, My coworker and friend, Margot, knits.  She made the boys these CUTE hats!  They love them!  Pierce says "I want the one with the ball on top!"  all the time!  Thank you Margot, we love them and you!  :) 

Oh just a Skeleton Cleaning!

Christmas In Paris! 2016

We headed to Paris on 12/16/16 for our Christmas celebration!  

 Our new hats Miss Margot made for us!  We LOVE them!  They are so warm!!!

She is a knitting queen!  ;) 

 THEN we got to Paris and Papa had the pool table and jukebox ready!  They were AMAZED at how it worked!  It definitely brought back memories!  and the boys discovered The Ghostbusters Song...It's "Q0, Momma!"  It was played over a million times this weekend!  ha!!

 Momma found this jewel of an archive!  My classmate Laura and I in Kindergarten!  :) 

 Saturday morning it was out to feed Jack and check on all the other cows and animals!!

 :) He is a Gallaway!  or Oreo Cow as I call them!  He is soooooooooooooo soft and sweet!!!

 Pierce did great!!

 HI!

 RUNNING!  He was feeling GOOD!!!

 Putting out hay for all the cows!  :) 

 One of the few kitties that are at the barn!  They love snuggling up to Jack we think!! 

 OF COURSE a Popsicle stop at the hog barns!!!

 Then I ran to the lake, to Elle's house and Julie came and met us.... we got to do a quick Christmas visit!  I loved it!  I hated for it to end!  and I asked my two crazies if they would come with me and they looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head!  ha!  so, there were 2 boys missing from this pic, along with Amy and her two!  

 Love you girls!!

 Reid helping Nona!

 I think Nona has one of the PRETTIEST trees!  She has a way with decorating them!  I need her help next year!  ha!!

........... PRESENT TIME!...........

 back scratcher!

 Papa got the boys BULL HORNS!  Insert wide eyes here!  :) 

 REID's sweeper! Like at the restaurants!! ha!

 LOVES IT!!!

 A DUST BUSTER from Uncle John and Aunt Dana!!!!  :) 

 Money!  AND GUM!!!!!!!  that was the MOST important, the GUM!!!!!

 Brian and I ran to our local brewery, Perrylodgic Brewing!  We love to support them!  Not only are they long time friends of our families and good people.... but we just want it to do well in Paris!  They deserve that!  I, of course, saw a ton of people!  ha! Poor Brian was just standing around listening to me!!

 Sunday, I got to feed Jack!

 LOOK AT THOSE eyelashes!!!

 Fed the kitties!!

 SUGAR!!!

 THE ICE had come!  It was chilly willy!  But really pretty when the sun hit it just right!!!

Thank you, Papa and Nona for having us for the weekend!  Papa, thank you for getting the "Boy Cave" ready for them!  I think they had a ball, since they spent 3/4 of their time there!  :)  

Thank you  ALL for ALL of our Christmas!  WE LOVE IT ALL and YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
