So behind!

I am so behind....I have been so busy lately! Here is Shaffen's birthday party....we invited everyone (family) over for some cake and ice cream. Conner was soooo excited to help make the cake. He was giggling the whole time. I got nervous leaving him there while I ran to get my camera....he thought he was so big!

Here are all the boys....Carlee didn't come...I can't remember why...so this is our typical boy party! It's hilarious to watch the kids at an adult birthday party, they are so confused. Where's the pinata? Why doesn't he get any presents? They crack me up!

But one thing for sure we ALWAYS have plenty of candles!



So over the weekend was the annual Light parade. We took the boys early so they could see Santa! Covin was pretty excited. Conner not so much! What 3 year old kid doesn't like Santa? UMMMM....MINE!!! He is such a mess. He way over thinks the whole situation....a man in a red suit who comes into your house while you sleep! Yes, I can see where the problem would be....but what 3 year old kid thinks of that! He actually started this crazy fear last year! So we tried to convince him to at least tell Santa what he wanted and we would tell him to leave his presents in the garage....that way he can't come inside! That worked....so far!


Yep, still not sure why Santa does the "thumbs up" thing in the pictures! Why can't he just keep those mittens down!

So hoping that we conquered Conner's fear of Santa.......Yep, it didn't work! Scared to death and crying his eyes out! But through all the tears he mustered up enough breath to tell him he wanted drums! Poor kid! Forget the fact that there is a weird man with a beard in a red suit....that's not the problem.....he just doesn't want him to break into his house while he is sleeping!

Still a little traumatized....I was cracking up! He didn't even care that he gave him candy....he would have gladly gave it right back!

Covin trying REAL hard to smile good! Gotta love that age!

Me and my boys....

Now that we have hot chocolate, cookies, and popcorn...we are good to go! Bring on the lights!

Santa always is in the last float....I thought this picture turned out really cool!So these next couple of weeks will be a little crazy....the semester is coming to an end!!! WAAAHHHOOO!!!!! I am going to be half way done!!! As if you couldn't tell I am so excited! I have a lot of tedious work to do along with a test and then my final! We have been pretty busy lately! Shaffen is working all of the time to pay for vehicle tags (seriously with all the vehicles we have bought we should learn not to buy them in Oct, Nov, and Dec.) and Christmas. He is working really hard and all of the time. I feel bad for him but am very grateful he is willing to do it! We love you lots and thank you for all your hard work (and sleepless days)!

If I don't return in a month....Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
