Just a cute photo of my kids

We went to Ashley Bonheim's wedding on Saturday night on Ft. Hood. The kids were cute, so I took this photo of them.

Happy Birthday Momo!

Marcus turned 15 on Sunday. We celebrated on Christmas day with a homemade cheesecake that was to die for. Happy Birthday Momo!!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! We had an exciting Christmas morning at our home. On Saturday we went back to Killeen for a wedding and then had Christmas with my family on Sunday. Today Scott's mom and Papa came to visit and brought another exciting round of gifts. I will post pictures as I download them. Enjoy!

Christmas Anticipation!

So it is only 8:42 pm and according to the Santa Tracking website, he has just started into South America. Scott is taking a nap on the couch, all the gifts are wrapped, and the kids are all camping out upstairs anxiously awaiting Santa in their new jammies that were mysteriously dropped off at our doorstep earlier this evening. I am like a kid...I am so excited to get this whole thing going! This has been an exciting year...Carsyn wrote the note to Santa which is a major milestone! I have a mystery gift from Neiman Marcus that Scott splurged on today...I am dying to see it. So I will go back to the Nutcracker now and wait til the kids are sound asleep to wake scott up...he's got two scooters to put together and some cookies and milk to eat which were freshly frosted a few hours ago!

PS...Did I mention I went blonde again? I felt old and boring so went extreme a few days ago.

Our Little Angel...Amidst the Chaos

Payton had a Christmas Program for her daycare last night. Of course, she was adorable. She sang and danced beautifully. Overall, the program was a disaster. We couldn't see anything, the kids were too quiet and all the babies were screaming. She stole the show with a little comment...but I have to figure out how to add the video. But here are some photos...she was posing like crazy after the show.

For Lori

I found this at Target yesterday and am "virtually" drinking it with you, Lori...isn't this awesome? You have to google it...they have a website and the writing is hilarious!!! CHEERS!!!

Disneyland on Ice!!!

On Wednesday night we went to see Disneyland on Ice. My friend Jennifer and her girls came to visit and went with us. Her parents live in Dallas. We had a great time at our girls night out. Here are some photos of cotton candy blue faces, various light up overpriced toys and our Dash mask.

Our Holiday Home...A Guided Tour by Carsyn and Payton

Welcome to our holiday home. Carsyn and Payton will be your hostesses on your tour! Yes, we are done decorating. It is exciting to be in a new home and since I have the privelage of an entire week off, we got it done early. Please note our NEW dining room and at least 7 trees...more if you count the metal ones by the tv...that would be 10. The empty one is Marcus'. For whatever reason, he has not decorated it yet. The three together in the window are in our bedroom. How do you like the wreath on a mirror? I saw it in a magazine and am going to write JOY under it in gold acrylic paint...it supposedly washes off. And above the mantle I want to paint a huge wooden sign or art canvas that says "the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in the hopes that st. nicholas soon would be there."

Who Am I?

Today Carsyn had a Thanksgiving Feast at school. Can you guess who she is? Look very carefully at the headband...it is spelled out...but it takes two photos to show the whole word. I could not be more impressed with her phonetic spelling.

Happy Halloween!!!

Last night we went trick or treating in our new neighborhood. This was a big deal for us because we've never had a neighborhood. We had lots of fun. The girls were adorable and did a great job maneuvering the hills and steps of our neighborhood. We got tons of candy and their costumes were a big hit. Be sure to notice Scott's amazing pumpkins...he worked very hard on them. Also, notice Payton's costume which I got for only $5 on ebay...it is gorgeous in person...Don't worry Mia...I am saving it for you!
