cookies

Ok so I have been a bad blogger lately. But here are some pictures of Nolan decorating sugar cookies with me.

Little Santa Clause and his side Kick

all tuckered out after a long day of picture taking!
So I took holiday pictures of my boys today. I think
they turned out pretty good. Enjoy!

I don't know about this outfit mommy!

Uh where are the gifts and reindeers?

Let's get out of here!!

I am just so cool!

Mom I am really tired! I need a nap please!!!

Nolan made me laugh on this pic. He kept telling Nathaniel how to
sit and than he would say and I sit behind you take picture mommy!

I have not been naughty at all this year!!! ;)

It is really rare that Nolan wants me to take
pictures of him. I was not planning on getting any of him.
I just dressed him up in case he wanted to jump in to a pic on his own.
Well, he found this hat and decided he needed pictures taken. He jumped
in front of the camera and kept telling me to take pictures. I would have
been crazy to say no!

cute!

Love this one!

I love this one!

a lot of Diapers and $ saved!

Lets see where do I begin:
Gail took a weeks vacation and the boys and I have enjoyed having daddy around all week.
The week started off with me having the bright idea of throwing pork chops down the toilet. Yes pork chops. I did this b/c we do not have a garbage disposal and I already took the garbage out so I did not want my house to stink. Well that was not a good Idea. I did not just flush down 1 chop, not 2 but 3 pork chops. Well this ended up with Gail having to buy a $30 tool to unclog the toilet. Thankfully he fixed it. We than went to our Young Marrieds Murder Mystery party(see pics below on other post) which was a blast! We also hosted Thanksgiving dinner, with ham not turkey. Wow that made for an easy dinner and clean up. I missed eating the turkey, but the ham was very yummy and oh less work and headache. My mom was nice enough to spend the night so Gail and I could get up and go shopping on Black Friday. Now I am not big on getting up on Black Friday and shopping but there was a deal we just could not pass up. Babies r us was having their store brand diapers on sale for $10 a box. So we woke up a 3;15 am and headed off to wait in line for the store to open at 5 am. There was a sign only 3 boxes per person, but well since Gail and I were both there we each got 3 boxes, paid, went to the car unloaded our stash and went back in again. I made two trips and Gail made 3. So We saved over $200 dollars in diapers by doing this and well we will not need diapers for awhile! :)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank You

So about 3 weeks ago we were getting home from church and getting the kids out of the car. Nolan handed me something and said "Thank you." Right after he said it Nathaniel repeated it. I yelled for Gail and said Nathaniel just said: "Thank you". Well Since it could have just been a coincidence or I just thought it sounded like it I did not write it down in his book. However, my mom and I were out yesterday and he said it like 3 times at the store. My mom was like Lisa he just said "Thank you. " so now that someone else heard it and I have heard it more than once I can now officially say that Nathaniel can say: "thank you." My little boys are growing up so fast!!!

Nathaniel's 9mt Check-up

Today Nathaniel went to see Dr. Tood for his 9 mt check-up and shots. While G-ma Terrell was so nice to watch Nolan. When I arrived to Carolyn's house we noticed that my right front tire was flat. I was like oh no.. Carolyn was nice to allow me to drive her very nice van to the Dr. office. I was highly nervous the whole time driving her car, I did not want to harm it, but all was well we made it there and back fine. We even saw Nolan and Nathaniel's 2nd cousin baby Lilly there for her 2 week appointment. She is so cute! Well here are the stats on Nathaniel and I am posting Nolan's stats when he was 9 mts for comparsion.
Nathaniel (also got his first tooth this week: right front bottom)
Weight: 23 pounds
Height: 30 inches 95 %s
HC: 18 inches 75 %
Nolan: (Nolan was still toothless, he did not start to get his first tooth until 11 mts old upper front)
Weight: 21 pounds 7 oz
Height: 28 inches
Hc: 18 1/4 inches

Happy 9 Months Today!!!

Nathaniel turned 9 months today. He has grown up so much these past months. He is all over the house now crawling everywhere and he is fast. He is getting his fist front tooth this week and it has made him very fussy. I can't wait for the teething stage to be over. Teething and potty training are not fun. Anyways I took the boys today to get their pics taken. Nolan will be 32 months on the 21st and Nathaniel is 9mts today. They really were not in the mood to take pictures and we got a lot of crying pictures, but thankfully there were a few good shots. Enjoy!(click on the pics to enlarge them)I am so handsome!

Look at me stand!

The hat is really way too much mom!

a little too much egg nog

I love this pic, did not order it but love it.
It is so Nolan. He does this expression with his
hands all the time and says "Please mommy"

U can't get me

Now how do I get a way from the cameras?

I love this one too

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth! hahah
He is teething and he was not happy in taking pics.
