What’s in a Year?

Twenty-ten has been quite the year for us.  So much has changed for us in just one little year.  So much, in fact, that my teeny little brain can’t even fully grasp it.  Last year around this time, we weren’t even pregnant.  Being pregnant wasn’t even on the horizon for us.  I was trying to…

A Holly, Jolly Good Time…

Christmas was so fun this year with the kids.  Wade was so excited and did this hilarious squeal when he would open a gift.  :)  He is easy to please! Haylee was so excited counting down the days to Christmas and was so happy opening her gifts.  She has been asking for new bedding for…

Whiskers on Kittens…

A few of my favorite things from my hubby who completely spoiled me this year… ♥ it!  {Even though I look less than thrilled!} I am not carrying a purse these days, since it is just one more thing to juggle among Davis, Wade, the carseat, the diaper bag, and anything else I may have…

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our Family! Hope your holiday is merry and bright and full of memories with your family!  Since we didn’t send out a photo card this year, I decided to put together a smilebox “card” with some pics of the fam. Hard to believe that this holiday we’re celebrating with five of us…

Making Memories

Making sugar cookies is one of my favorite things I remember doing at Christmas-time.  I wanted to make sure we fit it in this year since it barely made the cut last year.  I’m not sure you can even count it since we did it after Christmas.  It was quite a feat to attempt this…

A bit of SNOW!

  Haylee and I made ourselves a bit of snow this year… I’m sure I have made paper snowflakes before… maybe as a kid perhaps, but I don’t remember the last time I did.  Soooo, I was a bit rusty on the how to aspect as maybe you are too. I watched this video from…

Yes, Davis. This IS your Family!

Drumroll, please!  It is now time for the Extended Fam Christmas pic of 2010!  {Johnny, Kelly, Miller (6), Gavin (5), Riley (almost 3), Ty (16 mo’s), Billy, Robin, Chris, Renee, Haylee (7), Wade (2.5), Davis (2 mo’s)} We got together the Saturday after Thanksgiving, {Kelly} decorated the tree, and we all donned our customary white…

If you need some Christmas Cheer…

In light of there being only 11 days till Christmas, I must repost this ‘viral’ video from the vault that is known as Swaringen Family Christmas.  I know I’m one day off since the name of the song is ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ and all, but I thought I was close enough. Let me…

The Joy(s) of Christmas?

I love the Christmas season, and all the hub bub and fa la la la in the air, but this year I am feeling overwhelmed. I am so excited that I am virtually D O N E! with my shopping {I love to shop for Christmas all year long!}. AND I’m done with my Christmas…

Hot Glue… Friend or Foe?

I am a relatively new hot glue gun user. {I just bought my first one last Christmas after being inspired by Thrifty Decor Chick.} I know enough to know that it works awesome for DIY projects, AND it hurts like a mother when you take off your second layer of skin  burn yourself with it….
