Pictures...

Alright already!!! I just haven't 'been feeling it' with blogging and adding pictures. And to upload this many pictures, you HAVE to 'feel' it! So, whether I feel like it or not.... here are some of my latest pictures!

Getting them to pose together is a futile effort! But I try...

It appears to be more like torture....This just made me laugh - I had no idea BJ was snapping pictures! Just a day in the life...We got our (wonderful) neighbor to come over and take a picture of me and BJ before his company Christmas party.

Christmas #1... Sam's back there helping put things together... we actually just let them open some presents early so we didn't have to bring them back from my parents' house (smart, huh?)

Christmas #2 with BJ's side of the family...We have entered into this century!!!! We now have a flat screen T.V. I think we are the last....Brandon and Mandy... they got engaged over Thanksgiving and will be getting married in October! We're so excited to have Mandy (officially) in the family!!!! She is absolutely beautiful and is just as beautiful on the inside!!!!Opa and Ernie (her name is Inny, but Sam started calling her Ernie when he couldn't say Inny, and it has stuck.... we think it's cute!!!)

Our happy little family of four...

The whole fam... they'll thank me for this one day --- I think!!!!This is the 'damage' Sam had done to himself when he didn't nap and decided to draw with a furniture pen all over his room!!!!!

Sam and Jake went to Mimi and Pop Pop's while we went to BJ's party...Sam has been pedaling for quite awhile now.... I hear that's somewhat of a 'milestone'!?Sometimes, you just have to turn on the T.V. for them.....Again, trying to get them in a picture together...

Yup... told you! (Daddy's hand is right there on the left catching him!)We got a good one!CHRISTMAS.... the table...Opening ONE gift while we waited to open all the gifts... don't ask why! Five minutes to a 2-yr-old can be like five HOURS! For the parents!!!!

Present time!

Sam's stack...Jake's stack.... he couldn't exhibit self-control, obviously!!!Jake had more fun sitting on the boxes!Bo, Jen and their baby!

Rocky was growling at Jack because Jack was under the tree getting 'his' treats!!!Putting stuff together for the kids!

This doesn't do the mess justice... it kinda got cleaned up as we went this time!Waiting to go down to see what Santa brought!Can't wait anymore!Seeing what Santa brought them...'Jake' got a ball pit! LOVES it!

Hee hee hee!Take it OFF!Awww.... a Christmas morning to remember!

They got SO hot, so we just let them run around shirtless!

And then Jake was "happy" running up and down the foyer!?Bo and Jen... aren't they cute?

Us with the grandmothers...Jake just needed someone to rub his belly... he was SOOOO full!!!!Taking the trash to the dump... in style!

OK... I did it! Whew! Three hours later (literally), and I have pictures on my blog! Still not 'up-to-date' but this will do for now! The house is still dirty, the laundry still isn't done, the kids are running wild (and are hungry), and dinner hasn't even been thought about; but by golly, we have pictures!!!!!
