Christmas Recap: Part Three

Christmas morning was really fun this year! Monkey was really excited and he actually understood about Santa so this was the first year that he visited. We let Monkey open his Santa gifts before breakfast and then did the rest afterwards. I think it was great doing it this way because he was entertained while waiting for breakfast but we weren't all starving while we opened presents. 
Goose wasn't ready to be awake but I couldn't let him miss out on Christmas morning so I went ahead and woke him up. As you can tell by his poor little "why did you wake me up" face!
Monkey got a remote control car from Santa because that is what he asked for but he also brought him a bag of Chex Mix because he loves eating it with Popa. Can you guess what he was more excited for?
Goose opened his gifts from Santa too. He got 4 little board books to play with or really eat :)
Here's Monkey's with his remote control truck. It came with a trailer that tows a mustang, his favorite car. He played with it all morning!
This is after breakfast gifts. This was Goose's gift from Monkey. He thought they tasted yummy!
Monkey's big gift from us was a 3 foot 3D color yourself  project. Of course Mommy forgot to get markers from the store so we have yet to start it but I will post a picture of the finished project when we get it done.
This was Goose's favorite gift. He loves cuddling with the bear from Popa. He was so sleepy he didn't make it through all of presents. Popa got Monkey a bear when he was a baby too. Now they both have their own. A great thing for them to have later on.
Then we headed down to Granny's house (Hubby's grandparent's) and had lots of play time with cousins and then a great dinner. Hubby and the cousins were picking on each other and getting each other in trouble. A true holiday with family. Then we opened presents. The magnetic tiles from Granny I think are his all time favorite gift. He plays with them almost every day. 
No he's not sleeping again although he looks like it. He was playing with his new bee that flashes, plays music, and vibrates while watching the cousins build things. He loves laying on the bee when it vibrates. I wonder if it feels good on his little teeth that I think are starting to bug him.
Okay...that's it! Our Christmas recap! Read part one here and part two here or as always just stop by and look at the pictures! That's what it comes down to sometimes when we are all busy mama's. Hope you all have a Christ centered Christmas that made 2012 end well!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
