Lazy!

Yup, I'm a lazy blogger! I've just been busy and haven't made the time to put anything new on here! But I've got some fun pictures to share from our recent adventure to Klamath Falls! AJ's sister and her husband, Andrea and Jeff, recently moved from Salem to K. Falls because Jeff got a new job. We were sad to see them go when they lived only 3 minutes away from us! But, thankfully 4ish hours isn't that far away!

Well, 4ish hours is far away if you're a 3 1/2 year old who needs to go potty right now! Our motto is, "have potty chair, will travel." The beautiful lake as you are heading into K. Falls. Wish I knew the name of it! It's probably called Klamath Lake or something like that :)
Us girls went to a fun little shop and Lily was loving this little apron.
It was such a beautiful weekend while we were there so we took advantage of it and went to this awesome park near Jeff and Andrea's house! It had tons of play equipment that all of us (including the adults!) enjoyed!
Jameson loving the swings
The GORGEOUS view from the park.
So, there was this play rock wall at the park. Personally, I think it's kinda dangerous for a park with kids, but, that's just me! Well, Andrea and I thought it'd be fun to climb it and have our picture taken.
Then I got the not-so-bright idea to climb over the other side of the rock. Let's just say I'm not as young as I used to be! I couldn't find any foot holes to put my feet into and I got stuck. I basically dropped to the ground while laughing with embarrassment!
Auntie Andrea with Lily!

Andrea and I "playing" some more. By the way, my arms were SUPER sore the next day from doing this! Man, I'm out of shape!
I love my Lily Mae!
I love AJ. He's the BEST daddy! After the park, we drove to the Running Y, a resort in K. Falls, to look around. Of course the kids had to try that playground out too!
Jeff took all of those pictures-he's quite the photographer!

Uncle Jeff being silly with Lily!
Bath time!

We also got to visit the school where Andrea teaches because they were having a carnival. We had such a great time and look forward to going again since they have lots of snow now!

Christmas Cards

Shutterfly is having a sweet deal that if you blog about them they will give you 50 free photo cards! So, why not show you there fun Christmas card options?! These are the top 3 that I like:

I love the brown and red combo in this one.

I love the black and white picture! It makes the green/red stripes really pop!

And I just love this one too! Because both my kids can be either naughty or nice. Luckily, they are mostly nice! You can find those photo cards HERE

Shutterfly also has fun CALENDARS that you can give as Christmas presents! I personally like the desk calendar. For someone who sits in an office all day long, it would be so nice for them to look at fun family pictures!

And even though Jameson just had his birthday, I love THESE fun birthday cards you could send out! I may just have to do this for Lily's birthday in February! Anyway, there are so many options to pick from! Not sure how I'll decide!

Snow Day!

We finally got some snow last night! It's not a ton, but enough to make it look pretty outside! It started after the kids went to bed, and I told Lily if it started snowing while she was sleeping, I would wake her up. I have vivid memories of my mom doing this with me when I was younger! She'd wake us up at probably only 9ish, but to me it felt like the middle of the night! We'd get our snow clothes on and go sledding down our hill! It was so fun! Anyway, I knew I wouldn't take Lily sledding in it last night, I just wanted her to see it. Well, 9:15 rolls around and enough snow had accumulated on the ground. I went into her room and tried whispering to her to wake up because it's snowing. My whispers turned louder and louder. That girl would not wake up! She was moving lots as I was talking to her, but was clearly enjoying her nice warm bed. Sad. I really wanted her to wake up! I guess I should just be thankful that she can sleep through anything right?! So this morning when she woke, I showed her the snow and she was very excited! I told her that I tried waking her, and her reply was "Yah, I was tired so I didn't wake up." You better believe that!

AJ and I got the kids bundled up so he could take them for a quick ride in the backyard on a sled! Jameson's gloves were much to large for his little hands, but they worked! All ready to go for a ride!

Weeeeeee! AJ was pulling them fast!

Lily was a great big sister and held her brother nice and tightly.

It's hard to tell, but Jameson IS smiling!

Hat hair! I had just given him a bath and then we decided to take them outside. So his hair turned from looking cute to a mess! Oh well, I love it! I'm so glad we got to have a little snow to enjoy and play in!

Happy Birthday AJ!

Happy 34th Birthday to my AMAZING husband

Who is the BEST daddy

And my BEST friend!

I love you AJ!!!!!

1st Birthday Party!

Last week, we had our whole family over to celebrate Jameson and AJ's birthdays! Those two are exactly one week apart! So it was nice lumping them both into one big party! I made homemade pizza that AJ bbq'd-so yummy-and some delicious sides brought by the moms. And of course cupcakes for dessert!

He loves balloons!

I am One!
Jameson with his twin Uncle Joel! I hear all the time how much Jameson looks like my brother and I fully agree!

Joel and Katie with the birthday boy.

My dad being silly with Jameson and my mom!
I still can't believe he's one!
Big sister just had to help Jameson open his presents.
She kept saying "take a picture of me!" Oh geesh. Pretty sure she needs a slice of humble pie!
Lots and lots of presents!

He loved playing with this bow!
A fun walker/ride on toy! He loved it!
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!" AJ took him off the new toy to eat his cupcake and he was not happy!
This is what he did when he saw the cupcake! He leaned forward and ate it with his mouth before ever touching it with his fingers!
"Mmm this sugar stuff is good!"

Now he touches it with his fingers!
And back to eating it with his mouth!
We love our baby!
OK, this is the worst picture of me and AJ (I'm greasy and his eyes are half open!) but I just loved how Jameson was wanting to touch my face so badly with his sticky, chocolate fingers!

I have the best video to put on here of Jameson eating his cupcake, but I can't get it to load!! I'm so bummed! I'll try and figure it out and post it on here later!
