My Guitar Heros

Brandon was playing Guitar Hero on the Wii and both boys wanted to join in, so they fetched the real guitars from our closet and were having their own little jam session. Such cute band mates!

Nevermind the massive toy mess left over from yesterday!! I still have not gotten motivated enough to organize the toys. I did however get my new cubbies put together for that project. Now if the toys would only jump themselves into place.

And more random ones....

Did you notice all us older girls are wearing the same pj's?? Sue thought it would be cute, so she got us all the same pj's to match on Christmas morning.

Holiday Pictures

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! We have had a great day and I will be back later to post some pictures. The kids had fun, we had fun, the food was good and it would have been perfect if my family were here too!!

We had Grandma Sue, Grandpa Larry, Auntie Ruthie and Hannah and Kallie all here this morning to open presents and eat breakfast. I made a big breakfast for everyone and we made the kids wait to open gifts. They got their stocking before breakfast though.

Since its Logan's Day....funny picture

Logan fell asleep as he was getting up onto the couch. Man that is hard work!

Logan's Birthday Party

The pictures are sorta in reverse order. Anyway the first one is after he opened presents and we are doing the whole cake and singing thing. The race car helmet was fitting I guess. The last one is of the food. Showcasing the race car sub sandwiches. What an awesome idea my mother-in-law had with that. We had a great time. Logan enjoyed his day and his presents.

Logan's birthday cake

Here is Logan's race car cake. I am pretty proud of how well it turned out. I have been preparing the red and black frosting since Thursday and Fri to get them dark enough. So they sat on my counters in bowls and I just stirred them occasionally. It worked great. I guess that is the trick to the deep colors. If I had not prepared them in advance, they would have been purple and pink, just like what happened with Brandon's last birthday cake....my bad! I will post pictures of Logan at his party soon.

Logan got his birthday presents from Grandma Denise!

Logan's birthday is tomorrow, December 21st., but Grandma Denise sent her package and it got here 2 days early so I just went ahead and let him open it. He yelled out, "TRACTOR!" right when he saw it. He was so excited. He got a John Deere remote control tractor with a little dude that rides along and a pickup truck and trailer, a skidsteer and a backhoe. He LOVES his birthday presents. THANK YOU GRANDMA DENISE, I LOVE YOU!! Love, Logan.

P.S. Nevermind my grubby looking hair, I just got back from the gym and was all sweaty!

Austin the cowboy

What a cute little wrangler on his mighty horse. He just loves that horse. I got it off of Craigslist for 12 bucks. Austin will start jumping on it and let go of the handles, put his hands in the air and it is the funniest thing to watch. Dave will tell him, "Go ride your high horse!" and he will run and get on and start bouncing.

The hole in my ceiling...

This is where the stairs to upstairs are going. (Duh!). Those wood things are gone now and its just a nice clean hole. I sometimes feel like a rat in a cage when people are looking down into my house. I guess since Dave is off work this weekend (unless it snows) he will be working on finishing up the stairs. I will be glad when it is all done. Its messy right now.
