Thanksgiving 2012

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.  It was our turn to spend it with Pam and Brad.  It was really nice this year to not have to travel.  It was our first year ever.  Now that they have a house right down the road it was super easy!  We spent the entire day at their house.  The boys had a big football game, played ping pong, and pool.  It was a gorgeous day and we spent a lot of it outside.  The food was delicious and spending time as a family was great!  Eric and I are very blessed to have the family that we have in our lives!!! Oh, and boys spent the night at their house and Eric and I went shopping Thanksgiving night.  We had a great time watching all the crazies!  

Randoms over Thanksgiving break

Let me begin by saying I loved our Thanksgiving break. Having the kids home, no schedule, no traveling, great weather, made it awesome.  The kids enjoyed themselves playing with each other, neighborhood kids, and relaxing.  I am now ready for Christmas break!

Our dog nephew, Keeva

We were able to watch Keeva last week from Tuesday night until Saturday.  MJ and Ben had to go to NY over Thanksgiving and we got to keep her while they were gone.  The boys were super excited about having Keeva here.  Polly was more excited!  Polly and Keeva have a blast together!  They played with each other constantly and wore themselves out.  Keeva is such a sweet, awesome dog!  She know all commands and is super duper easy.  She loved playing with the boys and boys loved playing with her.  As you can tell from the pictures everyone had a blast!!

Always brushing his teeth...

Foster's Friday Mischievousness

This all happened today.  This morning he got into the pantry and got into my bag of sugar and had himself a good old time until I caught him.  And the last picture he had gotten into my bag of birthday candles (that I keep and reuse) and was caught licking the dried up cake/icing off of the candles.  Never a dull moment!  Happy Friday!!!

 

Where are all my spoons???

Slowly my spoons have been disappearing. We know who is responsible for this..Foster.  We found a couple one time down in a vent.  Thank goodness it was in a vent that we could retrieve out of.  Yesterday I was down to 2 spoons.  We looked everywhere and were baffled as to where little man put them.  Well this morning while we were playing in playroom I was putting something away in his kitchen.  I picked up the box of pancake mix and it was heavy and made clanking noise.  Look what was sticking out....spoons.  Well there were only 3 in there so I'm still not sure where the others are.  I will still need to go to Dillard's to get some more.  We are thinking more is down in the vent below, which we can't get to the bottom of it.  Who knows where in the world he has put them.  I tell you this child is by far my most mischievous one yet.  I love it though!!

Busted...

I swear he is always into something he isn't suppose to be into.  I found him this morning into the Halloween candy.  He thought he was being sneaky and jumped when I came around the corner.  Notice the wrappers on the floor, he had several pieces before I found him!  Ha

Where is Foster???

The other day I couldn't find him.  After looking around for a while this is where I found him.  In my car.. He loves getting in my car and snooping around to find gum and bags of goldfish and who knows what else.  Thank goodness I keep my camera handy.  This child wears me out and keeps me laughing, and makes me love this age so much!!

My Aunt(s) rock!!

Foster and I had a wonderful lunch last week with Aunt Martha Jane and Aunt Kim. He just so happened to be wearing this shirt.  We hadn't planned on meeting until we had already left the house that morning to run errands.  I just had to get a picture.  Isn't this beautiful?? We sure do love them!

Las Vegas

Last week I was able to tag along with Eric for a couple of days to Vegas.  He had to go for some work so I went along.  Thanks to my parents and to Grandma I was able to go.  It was so relaxing and so much needed.  Why Eric was at work I enjoyed spending time at the pool, people watching, and shopping!  At night we were able to do a little sight seeing and of course hit up some casinos and a few bars.  There was a lot to see!  We had a blast!  We stayed at the Venetian and it was gorgeous!  Our room was awesome and the hotel was just unreal!  It was a great place to go for "free" to get away but 2 days of Vegas was plenty for us.  Especially if you are not really into gambling.  We only gambled like 20 dollars.  Great get away for sure!  I think I might tag along with him more often, Grandparents willing!

Ghost Bar at the Palms which looks out over Vegas... Beautiful!

 Not sure why there is a white spot on this picture on my chest but it really wasn't there.  It must have been the flash or something!
