The start of the Christmas season

So, back around the first part of December, I decided to take the boys to Branson and do a little pre-christmas vacation. We did some shopping, went to Bass Pro and even made a trip to the Dixie Stampede to see their Christmas show. This was the first time we had ever been to the Dixie show, and we LOVED it. May even go back again next year.

It ended up being myself, the boys, and my sister and her husband. Maybe next year we can convince Richard to come along as well.

Yea for babies!

This last weekend we had the pleasure of throwing a baby shower for Baby Emma, Angela and Hazem. It went great and she got a wonderul assortment of baby goodies!

YEA for babies!

Halloween 2010

Oh my gosh, this last Halloween was something else. We had decided to dress the boys up as little boxers. I had this grand idea that I would put a little makeup on Ethan and make it look like he had a black eye. Well, all of that went out the window and just goes to show that I'm not REALLY in charge of my life.

It ended up where I had to work a few days before Halloween. I got home around 3pm on Halloween, took the boys to a hayride/halloween party. The Wednesday before, they got to do the trunk or treat thing at church, so that was their trick or treating for the year.

Of course, the black eye thing never worked out. Ethan ended up sick and this was about as good of a picture as I got.

Little Miss Emma

We're throwing a baby shower this weekend for Ms. Emma today (and Angela and Hazem.) I can't wait to meet her!

San Fran Trip

So, back in October, Richard and I were able to take a trip to San Francisco. Well, it was a work trip for me, and Richard tagged along. We didnt take the boys with us on this trip, so we had a lot of time to look around and see all of the sights that San Fran has to offer. Here are a few:

Here I am in a cell at Alcatrez...a very interesting place, by the way.

Richard and I at the Golden Gate Bridge. This thing really is BIG!
