Picture with Santa 2009

We took the kids to visit Santa last night at the Bass Pro Shops.  If you need a picture with Santa, and have a Bass Pro Shop near you, I HIGHLY recommend you head over there!   There was tons of fun activities for the boys to do (shooting, remote control vehicles), the wait wasn't long (they provide time cards), Santa was warm & welcoming and the photo was FREE!

When Santa asked the kids what they wanted, Lydia said a rubber duck and a pink cake.  And then she wanted to know if he had her cake with him?  Nate asked for a Nerf gun and Colin asked for a Warriors book and a Club Penguin membership.

I must not have posted our photo last year (or maybe we didn't do one?)

Nate's Review of the Crayola Glow Dome

Nate did a video review of Crayola Color Explosion Glow Dome recently for my main blog and I thought I'd share it here as well!

Lydia's First Video Review

We recently received a Crayola Beginnings Color Me A Song to play with and review.

Here's Lydia's video review!



These must be a popular Christmas gift, as Amazon has them listed for $49.95 at the time I'm posting this.  They should cost $20 - 25 (just so you know!)

Football 2009

Here's a couple minutes of a football game the boys played in last week.   You see Nate take the flag off an opposing player -- and then do a hop of joy near the coach.  Then you see the boys line up.  Colin has the long-sleeve orange shirt on under his football shirt.  Notice how they move in sync as they line up -- funny!

Lydia's Room

It's finally done!  All the hard work Bo put into creating an office from our back patio was completed a few months ago, but we just couldn't seem to empty the "old office"  I started calling it "Lydia's room" and we got it emptied out in a couple weeks!  She chose the paint color for the walls, but Bo did all the work.  He painted the walls and the bed, hung the shade and the curtains and steam-cleaned the carpets (including the hall & the boys' rooms.)  It looks wonderful, and we're all pleased -- including Lydia!

Last Coach Pitch of 2009

Some shots from the last coach pitch game of 2009.  The boys had a great time this season, and are looking forward to spring ball!  Nate is turning out to be quite the slugger!

At lunch with her aunt and mom . . . all the boys were away.

Baseball & Lydia

Fall Ball has begun another season. This is Colin's 5th and Nate's 4th year. They have an awesome coach this year and only a few practices in I can see major improvements in both boys' play! Colin reluctantly agreed to play this year, but is having a great time! He was also relieved that he didn't end up on a team with blue shirts again.

Miss Lydia is a very busy 2yo, so I wasn't able to get many shots of the boys on the field. I'll get more of the boys another day when Aunt Bunny or Daddy are around to run after our fearless one.
