LEGO in the Ear???

Oh man! Ryan and I were just playing a rousing game of Lego Batman on the xbox and he kept digging at his ear. He says mom I think I have something in my ear. So, I take a look and there in my kids ear is a tiny round lego. I nearly peed my pants. I grabbed the tweezers and surgery started. Dan held his ear back, because he really has some ears... and I grabbed the lego. All in all it took just a few minutes to get it out but, oh my goodness my first thought was ER here we come. Well, now that moments over I think I will go to bed.

Darn Adam & Eve

So I was just thinking after doing about 10 loads of laundry today that if Eve hadn't taken that first bite I wouldn't have to do so much laundry. I mean there would still be towels, blankets things like that, but think of all the time and energy that could go towards something else if we didn't have clothes. Oh and the money that could be used for other things. What a thought...

Ok so my hubby just reminded me how frightening the visual could be if everyone was running buck. I guess I will go back upstairs and work on load # 11.

Thank heavens for his vision or I may have attempted a new trend...

Priceless Gift from Becca

Rebecca gave me most of this nativity for Christmas last year or the year before. It took her the entire year to make this for me. She worked so hard on it and made all of the clothes by herself. So, I asked for the animals for Christmas this year. So, she made the animals and I think my favorite are the cows. She decided she doesn't like brown cows, so I have little spotted cows. How precious. All of the camels saddles match the wisemen's robes. She did an amazing job and this is truly a priceless gift. Thank you Becca.

The Larsons

This is my brother Dale's family. Dallas, Lisa - his wife, Mallory, Cherlynn & her husband, Scott and of course the dog friends, Abbey & Ernie.

Roxy's Snow Moment

I let Roxy out to go potty and she refused to come inside, so I let her stay outside for a few more minutes. When she came in she was covered with these little snowballs.

When Rob and Ry first started playing with the new double shot nerf guns they kept talking about their aimage and were not sure about how good the aimage was. We soon learned that Robs aimage is just fine. Ry although hamming it up for the camera continued to dig, who know his multitasking skills were so impressive.

Like Mother Like Son???

PEACEFUL

I can't begin to express the JOY that I have over the calm quiet state of our home. It is so peaceful here. I haven't heard one outburst or negative comment from anyone today or last night. These are the moments I really enjoy and burn into my heart, so when the normalcy of life returns I can reflect on these moments.

Ryan absolutely loves his Dino egg!! He has been digging and brushing away the sand for a good long time - what a great gift. He loves it.

A special thanks to Em & Aaron for the small nerf artillery sets my boys received. They are busy making target practice of my snowman collection. Just kidding, but they are enjoying them.

The Great Rob Roo...

So Ryan gave Robbie a small magician set and apparently this is what a magician should look like. I laughed so hard when he put these on. Too Funny!!
