Christmas

Our Christmas was absolutely wonderful!  We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and Ky & Randi.  Then Santa left presents for the boys for Christmas morning.  Justin’s family came over for brunch and lunch on Christmas day.  It was a pretty eventful day.  I don’t think the boys really had any idea what was going on.  We have been telling Kasen for the past week or so that baby Jesus’ birthday was coming up, but I think it went over his head.  On Christmas morning I went to get him out of his bed and this was our conversation:

Me:  Kasen, guess who came last night!

Kasen:  Gammy??

Me:  No silly…Santa Clause!

I got a new laptop for Christmas and Photoshop for my birthday, so hopefully I will be a little better at uploading pictures and updating my blog!  I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Have I mentioned that I have my hands full???

19 months & 6 months

Kasen has just now started paying a little more attention to Jaxon. Jaxon has started to walk all over the kitchen in his walker and of course Kasen thinks he needs to be pushed.

Party @ Grandma's

Kasen played Basketball and Baseball while Jaxon played with the Great Grandmas!

Vacation

Justin and I took a short vacation this weekend. It wasn't much, but it was nice to get away for a few days. We went to Dallas on Saturday and came back yesterday. I made Justin endure a Rangers game, a day at Hurricane Harbor, and a day at Six Flags. In return, he got to buy a new gun at Cabelas on the way home. I had a blast. It did make me realize that I am not quite as young as I used to be. Those roller coasters sure are a lot rougher than I had remembered. Although we went 90 miles an hour during the day, it was still pretty relaxing. We both got 3 full nights of sleep, which is more than I can say for my parents and Justin's parents. They took turns watching the boys. He are a few pics from the trip. I will have to post some of Kasen and Jaxon with their presents later. We bought Jaxon a superman onesie that came with a cape and Kasen a batman cape and a tazmanian devil. I thought it was appropriate since we call him Taz all the time.

Painted the House

When we were considering buying our house, Justin and I talked about what work we would have to do to it. We both agreed that the only things that we "had" to do was take down the wallpaper and paint the outside. Supposedly painting the outside was going to be the very first thing we did. Well, as most of you know, we have done a ton of work to the house. And of course, we are just now getting around to painting the outside. I guess it was worth the wait. I absolutely love it. Here are a couple of before and after shots. I am going to go ahead and take all of the credit for the paint colors!

BEFORE:

After:

Disregard the horrible yard, the toddler in not shorts, and the horrible front door. I am hoping that will be my anniversary present!

Pulling Weeds

Our yard is full of weeds. I think we are just going to start over in the fall. Justin was pulling weeds for the goats to eat the other day, so Kasen decided he should help. Of course, once he saw me taking pictures, he had to come pose for the camera.
