Can't they just behave for a minute???

So, you know when you make a plan for something to go well and it doesn't? These are pictures of one of those moments. The babybsitter that the kids go to sometimes had Mr. Santa come and visit the kids and as you can see he looks awesome and does a very good job. Well, I had planned to have my little brat children sit on his lap together in hopes that we could get a cute picture and mail it out for a card. Well that plan was shot to smitherines when Rylan cocked attitude and rubbed off on his sister. Needless to say Santa takes a really cute picture and that's more than I can say for the little mannimals. Better luck next year I guess.

So, this last weekend we managed to steal Double for one last girls weekend before she has her little baby that we can't wait to meet. We had a lot of fun eating at Samuri 21, shopping, getting pedicures, drinking diet cokes, eating, visiting, playing cards (even though Grams kept making up rules) and oh yeah did I mention eating? I must've enjoyed the eating part so much that they are the only pics that I have from the whole day. When the little Chef finishes the cooking show on the habachi grill he tosses a little piece of shrimp to you and you have to catch it with your mouth right? Well, I'm a pro of course and so I have none on my face which is the only fun kind of picture.....so that is what follows. We cackled and laughed as mom, grams, double, and tawnya bounced the tasty goodness off of their chins, boobs, and noses :o)

We sure missed Brooke, Megan, and Amee (our other sisters). We love you Double and hope Jett comes soon! thanks for spending the day with us.

Such belnaps

Pretty action packed I know.... Can't you just see it?

You can't tell in this picture, but I think Tawnya must've really taken a blow to the nose cuz after this part was over she spent the next 20 minutes in the b-room with a bloody nose. I think little Leo (our chef) owes her a free dinner after that shot........

Good catch mom. It made a perfect second landing in your hand :o)

Little update on us. Of course we have been up to much and having fun. Rylan made cookies today, we've put up Christmas lights, our tree, and fun decorations.

These children are so full of it and silly as they come. I sure love their smiles though!

This cute little hat was given to McKinley by her cousin Sage and her Aunt Amee. Thanks guys it's adorable and she loves to wear it for about 2.5 seconds for now. Soon she will be wearing it all around and be the little cutest girl in town.

Princess for a Day!

Have you ever seen such a cute little thing? McKinley had a Birthday....

This is the pre-party day with my family a few days before. She was so adorable being a Princess! This little one really is a sweetheart! We love her and have so much fun. I love her blue eyes, personality, and love that shows through in her precious baby way. Thanks KaSea for the fun gifts!

Well, our little girl turned one this month. I'm a little slow, but her actual birthday was on the 17th! I can't believe she is already one! She was so cute all day. Everytime Rylan and I would break out in the birthday song throughout the day she would light up and grin and clap. To the left there she had already made a mess of herself from the little icing and cake episode, but she wasn't done yet. This is here digging in the loot and pulling it all out one piece at a time. Thanks to Aunt Jane, Grannie Grace, and the King's she walked away with a ton of cute cute things. We had a fun little donut and hot chocolate party!

She wasn't super excited about actually eating the icing and junk, but she did have a good time getting it all over herself and flipping it through the room! It's too bad I don't know how to get the little video thing on here cuz she is so funny to watch.

LOVE YOU MCKINLEY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

The Trophy!

Well, we made it through the ordeal and the tooth speaks for himself. The visit to the same-day surgery clinic was no fun, but oh well. We went in early and they got him all prepped. Rylan started to get nervous and didn't even want to put the little gown thing on. After some coaxing and a little slip of the happy medicine he was doing everything we wanted and I couldn't stop giggling at him. Soon he couldn't say his name and could only get two of his three year old fingers to rise and say how old he was. Then he was on his way with the anesthesiologist and the dentist. After a long wait, he came screaming out of recovery (just ask Brandon's mom if you don't believe me when I say SCREAMING). He showed his mean, out-of-it side and proved to be stronger than all of the women in the entire recovery room. We finally got some juice in him and so after the scratching and hitting subsided they let us leave. As you can see below he left with a trophy prize and hasn't looked back. After a couple of good hours of rest, the only thing he complained about was hunger. He is now sporting a silver cap, a spacer, and some white fillings. Needless to say, there will be A LOT more brushing going on at our house.

I think this picture looks like the tooth needs a name and a pair of walking shoes on. I couldn't believe how big it was and the roots on that sucker! This was the reason for the swollen cheek and the infection was such that we just had to part with it. I never knew I would be getting in touch with the tooth fairy so soon. This one is definitely worth some $$$.

Wooly Moolies Causin' trouble

So look at this poor little twit. His little face is swollen from his teeth and we haven't even had them worked on yet....That's tomorrow. He has to go and be put to sleep so they can fix two of his mollars that are obviously acting up. Bless his heart, he has been so tough and patient waiting for this appointment time to finally get here. We'll update you on the new look and the new pretty silver lining Rylan will soon be sporting.

Hall-o-freakin-ween

Here's some cute little pics of the kids and some crazy masked man that showed up to crash the party. Tink and Mr. Pirate mate were so cute and we had a lot of fun!
