Date Night & Chapstick

Date Night with Mr. Hottie!!!

Happy Driving....

He's taking me out to dinner where he can also watch the game! Smart man and lucky for him i like these kind of places. I also like for him to be happy!!!

He said his lips were chapped and asked if i had anything.....i had my red ball chapstick....

He opened it VERY discreetly....

He probably thinks nobody knows what he is doing....

He's laughing....I'm laughing....time for dessert!!!

YUM!!!!!

Nope! M&M's Don't Make Friends!!!

Got my happy combination together!!!

The Constitution Quest

We got this great game for Christmas from my family! We are on a quest to learn all about our Constitution and all the branches of our Government. We think we know a lot......we shall see......

Just Us & The Christmas Lights

Ed and i were out zipping around and when we were heading home we realized we were the only ones out in our tiny little downtown. We stopped on the side of the road and just looked at the Christmas lights and laughed that there was nobody out in our itty bitty town!

I Only Wanted Jammies!

My husband knows me sooooo well!!!!  I only wanted ONE thing for Christmas!!! A pink pajama top! He got it for me! And than he threw in some new Bama jammie bottoms! Yep, he knows me sooo VERY well!!!! Life is good!!!

Time To Cook Christmas Dinner!!!

It is time to cook Christmas Dinner!!!!  YUM!!!!!

Christmas Eve 2013

The weather worked out for us so we had a bonfire out back for Christmas Eve. We had out hot chocolate and Ed read "Twas The Night Before Christmas". Monte read it for us last year since he was visiting and Ed was in Afghanistan. It was a perfect night. We read the Christmas story from the bible right before everyone to went to bed.... 

New Converse!!!

We were running around doing some shopping today and we found some converse in Ed's size in the color and style he has been looking for. he was soooo excited he had to put them on right after we bought them and than run around the parking lot trying them out! He is my forever kid refusing to grow up, except for when he is at work, than he is forced to be a grown up, so i don't mind him enjoying the simple things of life like running around  a parking lot testing out his new high top converse when his job requires him dodging bullets and people trying to kill him! I love seeing that boyish grin that comes out every once in awhile. The Taliban and all the rest of the evil doers of the world haven't completely taken over his soul!  

Tank Went Christmas Shopping!

I guess Tank is in the Christmas spirit too! He left us a beautiful Christmas gift on the front porch this morning. Apparently it was only for me since i was the one who cleaned it up! Thank you Tank!!!

Window Screams

Vicki was in the kitchen doing dishes while Ed and i were sitting in the backyard enjoying the nice evening.  He went up to the window and stared at her until she saw him.  She screamed and we almost had a dish break, but the look on her face was worth anything that would have shattered!!!  Than she began singing to us.....than Ed went in and joined her singing to me thru the window.....than i went inside because the mosquitoes were out and hungry!!! 

Grilling In December

Today was another gorgeous day.....sooooo, Mr. Hottie grilled dinner for us! We even ate outside! Jasper was a happy camper running around with Bella's chew toy.

The Grill Master!

Perfect night to eat outside!

My December Sandman

Can't build a snowman in the 70's but we can sure build a SANDMAN!!! I have been building one every year for a long time with all our warm beach locations!!!

Football On The Beach!

Life is good.....Ed and the kids had fun playing football on the beach today. I had fun taking pictures of them!!!

Ty Catching Footballs in the Air

Ed taught Ty first how to run the stairs, jump the wall, and catch the football in mid air.....i had fun taking the pictures....some of the failed attempts were painful to capture....the life of being a MOM!!!

Finally catching the football!!!!

Ryan Makes The Catch!

Ed was teaching the boys how to run down the stairs, jump the wall and catch a football in mid air!!! It took some practice, but they each were finally able to make a catch after a LOT of misses and sand eating!!! 

Beach Day in December

My weather app said it was going to be in the 70's today......soooooo......we went to to the BEACH!!!  It was a perfect beach day!!!

My Perfect Day

This picture says it all!

True that!

Baby Come Back....

Finally got the boys in their beds and realized we only had the wolf with us. Ed went to find Jasper and he was with Ryan on his bed. Ed called Jasper and as Jasper jumped down and came into our room Ty starts singing, 🎶'Baby come back...'🎵

That kid always has us laughing!!!

Peppermint Milkshake 2013!

I had to stop and get my annual chocolate peppermint milkshake while we were out Christmas shopping! YUM!!!!  I get one every year!

Pretending We Are in Cali

75 degrees today, so we are pretending we are in California and wearing flip flops, dresses with converse and eating ice cream outside!!! Loving this beautiful weather! We did some Christmas shopping while we were out and about. Super fun day with some of my favorite people!

Black Converse, FINALLY!!

Ed has been wanting a pair of black high top converse FOREVER!!! They NEVER have his size!!!  Today was his lucky day!!!  They had his size!!!  He was sooo happy! He put them on right after leaving the store and than ran around the parking lot with them, just like a little kid!!! It was tooo cute!!! 

Found Bella's Hoodie!

I found Bella's hoodie and she was sooo happy to be wearing it on a cold day!!! OK, so she wasn't happy, but i was happy seeing her in it!!!
