C'mon You Slackers : )

C'mon you slackers, you've got less than 2 hours to vote for the pic of the week. What are you working or something??? Ha Ha Ha

Flashback Tuesday - Nolan

I have become one of those people who takes pictures but doesn't print them out to put into photo albums. I used to be SO good about doing this. BEFORE the stooges came along. I have many nicely arranged photo albums collecting dust. I even reorganized them when I was on bedrest. So, for the past two days I have been working on going through each and every photo......deleting, editing, uploading (to Kodakgallery and Shutterfly), and reminiscing. So, I thought I'd share a few cute ones of Nolan I found. These were taken on the fourth of July 2009. I can't believe how little he looks.

So, I think I'm about 3/4 of the way finished with this project. I ordered 400 pictures on Shutterfly yesterday. That was all three of them from April until September 2009. YIKES. That's a lot of pictures! Thanks to Pampers (Gifts to Grow) points, I pretty much got them free. So, if anyone has little ones in Pampers but doesn't enter their points.....send them my way! I'm about 500 points away from being able to purchase more photos for free.

Note to self: Upload and purchase pictures at least monthly.

Update: Forgot to mention, Shutterfly has free shipping on orders over $30 and Kodakgallery has 20% off $20 or more!!!

... sorta sums up the week we've been having : ( Teething, crabby babes :o But that just means more cuddle time with mommy : ) Lovin' that part of it!

First Sledding Experience

We were at Grandma and Grandpa's house last week. It's been pretty cold around here lately, but it FINALLY warmed up enough for us to be able to have fun in the snow. So, we went "sledding" the other day. Grandpa pulled us. Nolan and Ali weren't too crazy about it. So, they didn't stay out very long. But Kate.....holy cow! She would fuss when we stopped pulling her. She had a blast!!

Can you guess who this is holding my boot? I can tell who it is by the hand......but I'm around them 24/7. I'll give you a hint, it's NOT Nolan ; ) If you guess correctly, you might win a pair of UGG boots.....LOL.

OMG 365: day eight overflow

Here is my day number eight "overflow".

We Have a Walker

You'll have to turn your laptop on its side or lean your head to the side.....I'm not sure how to rotate a video. I haven't officially announced our eldest walking!!! She's a pro. We all thought Kate would be the first. She's not far behind....

Alison is walking!

Kiddos and Pups

I wanna play in THAT!
Oh ma, it's way too early for pictures!

Maybe if I don't look directly at her she won't take my pic.

Really mom???

Snow Day

So, it snowed again last night. I'm not complaining.....it could be a lot worse. I think it's actually quite pretty - because I don't have to drive in it! Here's MY prince charming shoveling this morning so he could back his truck out to leave for work........the kiddos had lots of fun watching him.

Notice it's still snowing : )

The table on our deck is packed full of snow!

Backyard photos....very pretty!
