Thanksgiving weekend highlights!

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Salina with the Roberts family. Lots of yummy food, great company, and a fun game of BINGO. This is Ryan's aunts dog that Warner and Abbi both fell in love with. I think the dog was their highlight of the day. I just love the Thanksgiving holiday.


After Thanksgiving festivities we headed up to Kristie's house so we could be part of the mad shopping on black Friday. Ryan LOVES this day. Sorry there were no pictures, but we taking this shopping serious so there was no time to stop and say cheese. We started at 4 in the morning. We are crazy just like the rest of the world. But hey, who can pass up a good deal!


On Saturday we did our annual Christmas tree hunt. Everyone was making fun of Warner calling him Ralphy because he was so bundled up. Once they got up higher in the mountain everyone else was wishing they were Ralphy and dressed a little bit warmer. Abbi and I stayed home this year. I have had this series of hives. If you want to get a good picture of what I have looked like just picture Hitch when he ate the fish and swelled up. My hives went away for a couple of days, but unfortunately flared up on the tree hunt :( I love this tradition of the Roberts family.





Warner had his first singing performance on Saturday night. Basically Warner looked like this the entire song. He is the youngest in his group and was SCARED to death. I kept waiting for him to jump off the stage. When he had his solo he just stood there. Finally we heard him sing Two Front Teeth, but that's all that came out of his mouth. What a cute kid. I think he'll catch on and sing his heart out next time ;)


The final event of the weekend was Warner and Abbi's first sighting of Santa!!! It's the most wonderful time of the year!!

Has Warner had his picture taken to much?

It's been about a month ago, but I don't ever want to forget Warner's first trip to the dentist. I hadn't planned on taking him yet, but after a couple of my cousins with kids close to Warner's age had gone, and had a couple of cavities I thought it was time to go.

So we get there and Warner gets to ride in the chair which he thinks is pretty neat. Then they show him the tools to clean his teeth with. He played around with them in his mouth. They just like to get the kids comfortable with coming to the dentist, so they let them play with some of the tools. When it came time to do his X-rays they assistant says OK....I'm going to take pictures of your teeth is that OK. Warner says "No anks (translates into thanks) mommy takes pictures of Warner and Warner goes cheese". The assistant looks at me and says "Well at least he is polite". What a kid! With that said he has great teeth with no cavities!! YEAH!

Great food, fun and family!

This last weekend Ryan, myself and Ryan's parents went to San Francisco for a well needed vacation. From the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Shopping, the Temple, great views and great weather it was a wonderful trip. It's a good thing we walked EVERY WHERE or we would be 10lbs. heavier. Thanks to my sister Kristie for watching our kids. Such a great time.

4 great years

It's hard to believe that 4 years has flown by. For awhile it seemed that I was never going to find Mr. right, and then wallla....it happened I met my best friend, and the rest is history. In four short years we have been on an amazing journey together. We have two beautiful children. We've lost parents and grandparents together. There isn't anyone I would have rather shared these experiences with. How would I have made it through any trial with out these shoulders to cry on, and believe me I cry a lot. This man is our families foundation. He keeps us all centered. I love you so much and look forward to many more years to come. Happy Anniversary Ryan!!
