New Layout

So....I have been working on this layout for awhile. I have tried to use layouts that other people make...but they are never quite right. I am too much of a picky ass. LOL! This is one that I have created myself. It really fits me. I am happy with it for the most part. I am sure I will keep it for quite some time. So, no need to worry about the blog looking different each time you come here. I am sure that must be annoying. LOL! I just couldn't find one that made me smile. This one does. It makes me feel good to have made it myself. I hope you enjoy it, and have a great rest of your Thursday!! :P

My baby boy...

Well...do you ever get used to having boys? Do you ever get used to the stunts? Boys are soooo different than girls. They will eat ANYTHING once. They will do ANYTHING on a dare. Their minds think of things that girls would never ever ever think of. Sometimes when Dylan is doing these things, I look over at his dad. Ted's usual response is "What? I would do that." Doh!! No need to look far for the genes of craziness. LOL! I have a feeling that it has only just begun....and I have a whole lot of years of this left. :)

Here is a little video I shot yesterday. Trust me, it's super minor compared to the usual tricks. LOL! Just watch him. He is soooo happy & having a blast. We even get the standard "Look, no hands!". Watch until the end. It's sad. :(

We ended up with glasses all bent to heck, cut & bruise on the eye, bloody knees, & scuffed hands. I guess its all pretty standard stuff. I just don't think I will ever get used to it. :( I need to find out the brand of his glasses too. He has bent those at least 6 times. When I say bent...I mean reeeeeally out of whack too. They are pretty darn sturdy. I need to get that same kind next time. LOL! They need to make little boys glasses out of titanium. :D

Jenn---the little videos I post on here are shot on my little Sony Cyber Shot. It is the greatest little camera. I keep it in my purse so I never miss a thing! :)

Hello!

Hi! I hope everyone has had a great week. We got some snow...and we loved it! The kids even got to miss school on Monday. I remember loving snow days too. LOL! We took the 4-wheeler to Ted's work on Sunday. That was fun....but suuuuuper cold. Brrrr!! That was colder than I have been in awhile. I managed to get a short little video. This is pretty much how we spent the afternoon. LOL! It starts out blurry, but clears up. :)

Once I get all my pics uploaded, I may have more to post later today. If not, have a great Tuesday! :P

Bowling!

On Saturday we met Addie & Gabe at the new bowling alley in Roseburg. We had a blast! I can't wait to take Ted & my mom there. They will love it. :) All 3 of the kids were very good, & really enjoyed each other's company. Ash & Gabe played together a lot....and there was some competition going on with Addie & Dylan. There always is, it's so funny! He has been that way with her since he was just tiny! She will always be his Aunt Addie....even if he doesn't call her that! LOL! It is official....I stink at bowling! I came in last place!! Yes, the two 6 year olds beat me!! :( In all fairness, they had bumpers! :P After bowling, we went to Red Robin. I could live off of their chicken salads!! Yum! ;P I got some cute pics of the kiddos. I like one of Ash & Gabe holding hands. I didn't even realize they were doing that until I got home to upload the pics! Such little buddies! :)

One more thing! I have to show you my newest edition to my living room! I got this awesome frame from my friend Lex for Christmas. I finally got it filled tonight! I just love the way it turned out. I think I may need a pic of Ted smiling, but that will have to do for now. :) So, what do you think?

Another tooth, basketball, & a birthday!

She's done it again! Ashley lost her second tooth last night! She was so happy. :) She likes that she can stick her tongue out the front while her mouth is closed. LOL! I can't wait to see how excited she will be when the top 2 come out. :) Her is her updated picture, it's hard to tell because the permanent teeth were already growing in behind.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but Ash started basketball last Saturday. She has played since she was 3, & she loves it!! We go every Saturday for 6-8 weeks. I don't remember exactly. LOL. I just snapped a couple of cute pics. The first few practices are just drills. :)

Those of you that read Addie's Blog know that we had Ash's birthday party last Sunday. We went to the bowling alley. It was a blast! I think it was her best birthday yet! All the kids had so much fun. I just about bowled my pants off. LOL!! I was running 2 lanes, & helping most of the kids. Let's just say that there was some sweat by the end of the day. LOL! Bentlee even tried her hand at bowling. That was stinking cute! She was so into it!

Here are some highlight pics. The cake, Ash & some gifts, Bentlee bowling, the only pic of Dylan all day, Bentlee and her sucker, & finally...my FAVE of Gabe & Ashley! They look like Addie & I. LOL!!

I am going to leave today with a picture of Ashley on the evening before her actual birthday. We decided to take her final picture as a five year old. This is the last picture of my baby at 5. Isn't she just a doll?? :)

Have a great Friday!! Big huge birthday wishes to Jenn!! Don't listen to Addie, 35 isn't that old! LOL!!

Sledding!

I have some video of the sledding we did the other day. I picked the 3 best ones. LOL! I think I took about 50. :) They are very very short. I just like to get them coming down the hill. Dylan's video is just a basic run. Ashley's is funny because she crashed into me. I had a bruise & bump for a week on my shin!! Ted's is funny because he is a dork. LOL!! You just have to watch & see. :)

Dylan:

Ashley:

Ted:

That's it for this morning! I will bundle up some of the bday pics today. They did turn out cute. There are some great ones of Ash & Gabe!! :)

Billie who?!?

I know....I know.....I stink! LOL! No excuses, I just didn't get to it. :D I do have lots to update though! It will be a looooong one! :) It has been a busy few weeks! It just seems like the holidays just flew by, huh? I have picked through some of the best pics to show you!

First up, Christmas! I just chose the cutest 2 pics of the kids & a pic of their loot from Santa. LOL! They got their digital cameras, and they LOVE them! They take pictures of everything. :)

Right after Christmas, Ash lost her first tooth! Woo hoo! She worked soooo hard at getting it out. She actually squealed & danced when it finally broke loose. LOL! The tooth fairy brought her $5. I don't remember getting that much! :D As you can see, the permanent tooth was already coming up behind it.

A couple of weekends ago, we headed up to the snow! Woo! We love to go play with the sleds. The kids & Ted had so much fun....they ended up breaking both the sleds! That is some hard sledding! LOL Here is just a couple of the cute ones of the day! Don't mind Ted & I...we were cold and tired! LOL!

That's about it for today! I have some great videos from the snow trip, I will post those tonight or in the morning! There is another hilarious one of Ted! LOL! I can always count on him to bring the funny! :D I also have Ash's Bday pics to post too. I haven't had a chance to go through those, but I know there will be some great ones! :)

Have a great Wednesday! :D
