Rocking Out

We rock out old school at our house...

Yuck...

So if you have a weak stomach then I suggest not looking at the following pictures.
Fair warning.
Okay so I put Damien in the tub one evening and then went upstairs with Preston to help him clean his room. About 10 minutes later I hear Jason yell out "Oh Damien" and so rushing down the stairs to where Jason is and find this...

Yes. It is what you think it is. I have no idea why he decided to stuff it in his ears, but we were thoroughly grossed out. I like the last picture the best, his face is like 'what's the big deal guys?' Oh and side note, Jason was a superman and cleaned Damien and the bathtub and toys. What a man, what a man...

Visiting family in Cali (over Christmas break)

Hanging with Katie and Janet at Foster's Freeze

Hanging out in California

Ahhh, to be warm. It's such a nice thing. After soaking up all the California warmth that we could, we've decided that we are most definitely west coast people. It's just in the temperature of our blood, we like it warm. The snow is great and all, it makes a pretty Christmas, but come March, I so want it gone! So here are some of the pictures from our San Diego Zoo trip over Christmas break...

Preston's Pirate Party

Okay, so this is going to be a bunch of late posts (sorry we got a new desktop and the camera software hasn't updated yet!!) First up is Preston's pirate party. Emily, Jered, and Aden came out for turkey day and to throw Preston his dream party. Emily is starting a children's party planning business and we were her first guinea pigs!! The party was great, the kids all enjoyed it and Emily got the practice she needed entertaining 10 kids for 2 hours!!

Boy's Weekend

Two weekends ago I went out for a girl's weekend with a bunch of friends to some timeshares up north about 2+ hours away. We were left Friday night and came back Sunday morning before church. It was a blast and I stayed up way, way to late and ate way to much junk food, and laughed the whole weekend away. So while I was off having girl time, the boys and Jason got to have some quality guy time. They went to the Minnesota Zoo on Saturday and had a great time hanging with the animals. I got back Sunday and the house was clean, boys were dressed for church, and Jason had dinner in the crock!! I know, AWESOME!! So yea, many thanks to my fabulous husband for being so rad!!

The mountain goat

Damien is part mountain goat. If you don't believe me, here are some pictures to prove it!! (He is precariously perched on a kiddie desk. His goal was the cd player, he loves to break it down! )
