My own pictures!!!

Yep, that's right, Debby and Dida got me my very own camera for Christmas and here is my photographic debut! Mommy and I did a building site in my room yesterday so I documented with pictures! Check out my cool line-up of trucks! They carried all the materials from the lumber yard to the building site...

lotsa pictures...

ok people...least favorite feature of blogger- the pictures are always in backwards order.

but, you're smart, you can figure it out :) here are a few to highlight what's been going on with us lately (and why I haven't been blogging much!)...

Mommy & Daddy just spent a week in Florida for a YL conference- this was done by a plane on the last day! how cool!

I have been skiing LOTS since Christmas, and can now go down the "big mountain" all by myself! I love it! It's Daddy's and my favorite "guy time" activity!


Don't know about you, but I haven't read the Harry Potter books...Mom & Dad keep talking about how awesome the new park was! They loved it!

TEBOW! TEBOW! Even though we're not in the Super Bowl, we had so much fun cheering on the Bronco's this year! And, I'm pretty pumped about Daddy's and my matching shirts!

Once again this year River and I had matching jammies for Christmas! He's actually wearing the pair that were too small for me- I have to teach him all about machines, so this is a good start!

Four litte stair steps...

Merry Christmas!

Xander, Brooks, Kolby, Kate

Get excited because...

...there's only 6 days until CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! Yep, I'm pretty excited about it. Every morning, this is my routine:

• get up before everyone else and make just enough noise that mommy wakes up too


• come downstairs before my alarm goes off and see if I can join in mommy's "mommy time"- she loves that!


• beeline for the kitchen to eat my advent calendar chocolate-why wait until after lunch or dinner? start your day off right with a small piece of heaven


• tear off a paper ring from the Christmas-countdown I made at church


• annouce to the family how many days until CHRISTMAS!

Ok, now that you've got the gist of it, here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately...they are in reverse order but I'm too lazy to change the pictures so you'll have to make do...

Kolby LOVES her books and will read anytime, anywhere...this was today after her bath.

Kolby is a crazy woman and shut herself in Deac's crate on Saturday- we stayed in our jammies until lunch!

Kolby spent about 15 minutes last week walking around in heels...they aren't actually Mommy's, she borrowed them from Kiki for a party. Looks like they're about to belong to Kolby if we're not careful.

Yep, here I am, finally! I wasn't lovin' the "let's sing Christmas carols for all the moms in MOPS" last week...guess it's time to head back to music class in January to get my singing voice back!


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

phone photos...

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been kinda slack on blogging lately...lots going on! Mom and Dad recently got iphones...yeah, they think they're pretty cool (what they don't know is that in a few years I'll be running circles around their tech knowledge!). Anyway, it's been cramping my style a bit because they want to take pictures of EVERYTHING! And, then they forget to put the pictures on the computer for me to use here.

Anyhoo...here's some shots from our recent trip to California (so fun!), "camping" at Brooks' house, and playing Santa this morning at home!

Only 21 days till Christmas! (but who's counting??)

"Heavy"

Lots has happened in the last week, and I'm pretty busy eating Halloween candy now, so here's a quick rundown...

It snowed last week so we played outside! Kolby- not a huge fan. Meanwhile, Mommy & I built a snowman, snow fort, and Daddy & I shoveled (my fav!)

Last night was Halloween so we headed to Brooks' house! I was a puppy (my mom's costume that Debby made her!), and Kolby was Piglet. Kolby kept saying "treat", "thank you", and "heavy"- as she got more and more candy, the pumpkin got heavy I guess. YUM- I LOVE CANDY!

Here's our fam all dressed up- Daddy was some funny looking guy named "Goose" from an old movie (Mommy said he looked good), and you can't really tell, but Mommy was "Super Mom"- she had a superman shirt, an apron, and her work out clothes. She claimed with that outfit she could "do it all!". She is pretty super...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Surfboards, Pumpkins, & Leaves, Oh My!

Here's what we've been up to the last few weeks...

On the coldest day yet this fall, Brooks and I decided it was time for the beach! Surf's Up Dude!

Last weekend we wanted to watch football- Mommy keeps saying "Tebow! Tebow!"-so we had dinner in the family room...Kolby is such a big girl, she gets to sit at the table with me!

Someone put pumpkins on our front porch last week- thank you!-and Kolby keeps trying to carry them while saying "heavy!"

And, yesterday, I led our family in one of my favorite projects- sweeping the back patio! This time we swept the leaves into a pile for Kolby and me to play in, yipee!
