Giving some Thanks

What a great weekend!!! Sitting around, going to movies (Twilight twice and 4 Christmas') eating, snacking, grazing, eating some more, watching everyone play the Wii and the XBOX. Eric and I did put on an amazing dinner on Thursday, if I do say so myself. Too bad there was only 3 adults and 2 1/2 kids to enjoy, but we did have lots of left overs for sandwiches, YUM!



Everyone enjoys a little whipped cream!

Me and Ryder Roo, pretty cute huh?













Have I ever told you how wonderful Eric is?? I probably have because I feel like I gush over him all the time, anyway, if you are one of the people that haven't heard me swoon over him before..lucky you! I know that I am just used to him doing everything that he does and I forget that most women don't have a hubby that washes windows, does dishes, does laundry, cleans the bathroom, cooks dinner, cleans the kitchen, does yard work and plays with the kids sometimes all in the same day. He really is amazing and I am in awe that I am the one that gets to spend forever with him. I better end this now before it gets too unbearable...

True to his name

-Snugglebug-
I was having a tough time waking up this morning (late night with my sister, cousin and aunt), Archer came in to tell me good morning and ended up climbing in and snuggling up. He was telling me how "big" he loves me and how soft my skin was and we were giving each other butterfly kisses. Then out of the blue he says the cutest thing. "Mom, when I get big like Dad, I am NOT going to be married and have kids cuz they will make me ANGRY. I just want to be big and play T games." I giggled and told him that as his grows big, I'm sure he will change his mind.

Mornings like this make me so thankful that I am a mom, I love my little guys so much and I am so excited to see them grow up into big boys and then someday men.

A ma zing

I got to go on a date last night!!! My very wonderful hubby took me to the Body Worlds exhibit. It was so interesting. I would love to go back again, maybe during the middle of the day when it isn't so crowded. VERY COOL!
here is a little blurb from the website to let you know what it is about.

Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS 3 & The Story of the Heart presents the form, function, complexity and beauty of the human body. Featuring a unique collection of more than 200 authentic human specimens including whole-body plastinates, organs and translucent body slices, this exhibit offers visitors profound insights into the human body, health and disease, and the intricate world of the cardiovascular system.

Check it out, it is worth the $$

a funny thing happens..

when the camera is on the kids are funny. i was looking through my pictures and feeling very thankful that we have an external hard drive to back everything up because last week i knocked over our computer and it burned out the hard drive. I am so happy that i didn't loose too many of my pictures. here are some of my favorite silly picts.. enjoy!

Wiggle.. Wiggle...

E lost a tooth today, this is the first one that he has been able to pull out all by himself. Today at church it was kind-of just hanging there and it made him very nervous! He is so excited now that it is out. Good job E!!!!

Halloween and more...

Ryder was a scarecrow, sort-of, I couldn't get him to wear the hat.

Arch was batman, terrible photo...

E was Bond, James Bond

My wonderful big sis made up goody bags for all 3 kids..tons of fun stuff!!!

I love Halloween, but I am SO glad it is over...
