1st Snow of the Season

Let it snow! Let it snow! It was a beautiful morning with all the winter white snow.

Today we woke up to snow! 1st snow of the winter and holiday season. The kids went out to see just how much had stuck to the ground. Marq of course is hoping for a snow day tomorrow at school. No such luck! Snow was not sticking but it was still falling steadily. Marq even started to clean off the car. Liam had to see if he could help as well. It is defiantly winter now. The weather has been still pretty warm. So hopefully this will be a light winter. Last year was pretty bad. We even bought a generator this year, just in case... :(

Auntie Mona

Auntie Mona came to visit for Thanksgiving. It was nice to see one of the sisters during the holidays. It has been a slow year for any of us to see each other. It was nice to have her up to hang out with. Liam was being camera shy with Auntie Mona but it was a fun visit. Liam will now ask for Uncle Beej and Auntie Moma... :) Of curse he had to play with his buddy Kasu. He is Beej's new Husky. He is still a puppy but a beautiful dog that acts just like his master. We hung out and watched movies and Mona's boyfriend, Chris cooked us a Gumbo made of the turkey left overs. Awesome idea, huh?

Best of The Best

The boys discovered Uncle Beej's souvenirs from his trip over the summer. They had this funny sword fight. Liam was chasing his brother round like he was actually winning. Of course in the end, Kuya won the battle. It was fun to watch the 2 of them duke it out. This was during Thanksgiving at Grandma's house. The kids are taking advantage of Grandma's new open space.

Bubby's visit

Ben's mom came to visit this last weekend. She has not seen the kids since Liam was a few months old. I was really glad she got to come into town for the Holidays. She lives out in Washington state so it is not that often we see her. I even got the wrap all the Holiday gifts I had for the kids and my niece and nephew. So all the Christmas and Hanukkah gifts are all stacked up in the corner waiting for the tree....lol. We did some major shopping the 1st day she was here for the kids. Worked out for her since she did not have to worry about shipping anything. And we got to pick out our gifts! :) Ben and I got a date night out of it too. Liam has been talking to her on the phone for the past few months so it was great for him to hang out with her. Marq got beat by her too playing Wii Boxing. It was a nice visit. We hung out in Tulsa the day she left. The photos were taken in front of the Cheesecake Factory. We had to cheat on our diets for that day. Yummy! It was sad to see her go though. Liam was even asking for her this morning. Till the next visit. We hope Grandpa will join her next time.

Christmas Decorations

We started early this year with the decorations. I wanted to take advantage of being on vacation. I got this idea from a Pottery Barn catalog last year. I bought the stocking from last year as well. Of course Marq had to add his own touch with his Webkins. This is a new thing he started collecting. He has 5 so far. Bubby bought him 2 more for Hanukkah. As you can see there are 3 of them there. Since we do not have a fireplace this was a better option for the stocking vs. the window sill. We already have some stuffers in there too!

Toys R Us Rewards

https://rewardsrus.toysrus.com/index.cfm

This is a great idea for the holidays. I buy my diapers here. And I know I will be doing some shopping for the holidays. I'm already on my way to the 1st $5.00 gift card with my purchases from yesterday. By the time I go there again, I'm sure I'll get the 1st GC. Register now and you can even register older receipts as long as it is between Oct 15th - Dec. 24th.

Happy Birthday Mommy

I finally got a copy of Photoshop Elements! Ben got it for me for my birthday. It is Elements 7. I is sooo much nicer than the old Picture it! copy I had. I can work with my layers and delete what need be without starting over again. This is the 1st page I made with the program. I will definitely need more practice but I'm pleased so far. I also got new speakers for the computer. Yup I'm still a dork. If it is not a Dallas Cowboys Item, it's a computer thingy.

Election Day

Yup, I voted. Hope everyone voted today or prior. This was the sticker they gave out in the Joplin area. I was voter 11029 at my location.

The Frito Corrections Facility

Ben made comment I do not have any photos of me on the blog. Well here is one.... As a funny, we dressed as prisoners at work for Halloween... haha get it? Our boss got it but I do not think he thought it was that funny. We love our jobs but trust me we get a few calls on our days off. This is not the greatest photo of me (One size fits all costumes are not the best ya know...lol) but I do not have very many of me.

Bruno, I am your father...

Here at a few photo's from grandma's house from Trick or Treating. I am so horrible! I did not take as many photos as I thought. Here are some of the ones of Liam playing with Bruno on Halloween night.

Harley Davidson Halloween Fun Day

The Harley Davidson Shop sponsored a big Halloween Fun Day here in Joplin. It was pretty fun. It was the 1st time we went so we did not know what to expect. The kids got to play a game and ride a mini Harley. We watch the Halloween costume contest. We toured the show room and the custom choppers. It was all and all pretty fun. There was a bounce house. (The tallest one I have ever seen) But the line was so long, Marq did not get to go. At least we know that next year we should go earlier. Of course, we had to take a photo of Ben's dream bike the Buell. FYI, The photo Marq is solo in is with a 2005 Custom Built 127" El Burto w/ a 6 Speed Paul Yaffe Exhaust.

The Chase

Liam likes to chase his Kuya at the park. Or at least he thinks he is. His big brother is a good sport when getting captured. I love to watch them play. Liam's favorite spot is the tunnel since he can fit perfectly and Marq has to crawl into it to get out. Well we can only assume....

My Personal Bounce House

Liam has found his own personal Bounce House at home. He does it so much now, he'll take a go at me when I am on the sofa. I took a photos of him and Ben when they were playing in the living room. Of couse, it is nice when the Bounce House gets hugs as payment.
