Merry Christmas - finally!

I know these are extremelly late, but here are the pictures from Christmas. We had a great time at my parents' house. We were also waiting for my sister, Courtney to have her baby! She ended up going to the hospital on Christmas morning but did not have the baby until the 29th! (more pictures of little Kylee later)

Tyler has been asking for a "tractor just like Lexi's" ever since we visited Florida. SO, we had a little talk with Santa and decided that he could get it for Christmas. (FYI... I am not a big fan of Santa as a parent!) He kept asking about it and wanted to go to WalMart to look at it all the time. The tractor was waiting for Tyler and Jason in my parents room after they opened all of the other presents. Tyler had a great time riding it up and down the hallway at my Mom's school!

Sorry the pictures are in random order - if I take the time to sort them out, I will never get this done!


Grandma dancing with Jason to the Twilight soundtrack


Tyler decorating his "cake"



Just chillin' and watching a movie


Jason's new airplane (and that STUPID binky - that has since been taken away for the 2nd time)



Tyler's new camping set - he LOVES it!



The new tractor, just like Lexi's (it did not come with chains for the tires and did not go so well in the snow!)


Jason shaving with his Cars shaving kit.



Grandma's attempt to get a Christmas picture of Jason


See n' Say from Grandma Bruck



Tyler getting any willing body to do a parade with him





Leaving tractor cookies for Santa, of course!


The new truck and fishing boat just like Grandpa's! You would have thought that the kid actually got the real boat he has been asking for!



My mom and her new Twilight bag (She is a **little** obsessed:-)


Jason, our sweet devil child!


First time seeing the tractor


This was about the only time that Jason got in the tractor the whole time we were in Rangely.

Shake Shake your booty

Mandy, Carolyn, Carly, Cori, Kelyn, Christine... This post is for you!

This was our after dinner entertainment the other night:


Tyler was singing "Shake, shake your booty" the whole time he was dancing!

Tis the season..

My parents came to visit us this weekend and we were able to get TONS of stuff done. My mom helped me put up all of our Christmas decorations, Jimmy and I did our Christmas shopping, and My mom and I got to see Twilight for the 3rd time ;-) Thanks Mom & Dad.

Finally... the long awaited pictures from Florida

We were able to go to Florida for a week over Thanksgiving. It was tons of fun! The boys had a great time riding tractors (big and small), golf carts, kayak's, and playing with chickens, rabbits and dogs.


Playing in Grandma's HUGE leaf pile. Jason was laughing so hard that he could hardly stand up.




Lexi and Jason


Just one of the fun toys to ride one. I never got a picture of the golf cart!


Lexi & Tyler ready to canoe!


Jimmy & Tyler and Holly & Lexi. Tyler said that he was done about 10 minutes into the trip - it was a VERY long hour for Jimmy!


Jason's first taste of a sour patch kid! Thanks, Ashley :-)

The dentist...

We went to visit my sister on Monday, and of course, had to make a trip to her office. She is a dental hygienist, so Tyler loves to go have his teeth cleaned, and the best part is that he gets to clean Aunt Tiffy's teeth as well!! Thanks Tiff, we had a great time!

Who knew that a dentist office could be so much fun!!





Of course Jason wanted a turn after he saw Tyler!



Tiff was very brave to let the boys stick those sharp tools in her mouth!! (Jason only had one of the mirrors)

Hanging Tough...

On Saturday afternoon, I got a phone call from a friend asking if I wanted to have a girls night because she had free New Kids on the Block tickets!! I wanted to go to the concert back in July when my neighbor, Jen, bought tickets. I was SO EXCITED!! I was a HUGE fan back in the day and went to their concert in Denver 15 years ago! There were 6 of us that went and we had the best time ever. I did more screaming and dancing than I have done in a very long time! It was amazing that Jordan could still hit those high notes!! They were just as cute as ever ;-) The crowd was made up of 30 something year old women acting like teeny boppers!! It was a BLAST!!!








Lady GaGa was the very first act and she was, ummm, a bit strange, to say the least!!


Natasha Bedingfield was one of the opening acts - she was really good!


Jordan sang a song with his shirt unbuttoned, with a fan blowing on him. It was really funny!! I think they did that back in the day:-) Jordan was always my favorite!! I had the buttons, posters, shirts, every tape... you name it, my sister and I had it!



This girl in front of us had this naked Jordan doll that she held the entire concert. We were cracking up!!!


We had the best seats - right next to the stage, 13 rows up!! We could see them very close when they came up on this side stage.

Hanging Tough at the very end!! Everyone got into that song - it was a blast!!
Thanks, Brindy!! I had such a good time!! Let's do it again in 15 years :-)
