Catch up time

I apologize for my lack of posting lately, it just seems like the time flies by, I only missed two months worth, don't be hatin'. To make everyone happy, we are having one large post that will hopefully catch me up, maybe for the next two months. (oops did I actually type that????)

Hard to believe that this was Christmas 2007 (Elizabeth had just gotten done crying because she didn't want to stand on the chair or something silly like that) Look how "Betty Crocker" I am with all the homemade cookies. And the messy kitchen.

And here we are Christmas 2008. Pillsbury pre cut and bake cookies. And the messy kitchen, you just can't see it because I was smarter this year and just zoomed in a little more. Never say that this isn't an educational blog. Oh what a difference a year makes. Wait a minute, look at Josiah's clothes, they almost match! I must really like blue stripes.


Speaking of cookies, here is our very own cookie monster and lion. Or "tootie monster" as Josiah says. I love having a coworker that is done having kids and gives me all her outgrown Halloween costumes. My kids love it even more.


MY LITTLE GIRL IS GROWING UP!!! LOOK at this coloring! She worked so hard on this one, and even signed her name.


The Artist and her assistant.


Here come the Christmas photos. Here is Elizabeth with her Leapster princess game. She is so funny as she loves it, but gets bored with it once she has it figured out, so I tell her to go onto the next level, and she simply says "no, thank you." This reminds me I need to shop on Ebay to get a new game before our next trip to visit NW Iowa. Oh, I also need to shop for a new touch lamp. And a new crock pot. Man are we hard on appliances!!


Here is our little man, he was more impressed with carrying around his present.


I hope this is the only photo of them drinking on the Internet. Ever.



So Grandma got these adorable robes for the girls for Christmas. I think it was the gift of the year. Josiah was mad that he couldn't be in the picture, and the Luke was mad that we made him get in the picture with the girls. I am not posting it so I can use it as ammunition at Luke's wedding someday.



Here is the whole crowd. My, how fast they have grown!! No more babies here. Please forgive Josiah's bare feet, he REALLY doesn't like socks and shoes. Ok, I am off to shop on Ebay before I forget. See you in 2 months. Oops, I typed that AGAIN!!! SORRY!
