cuteness killaz'

oh mother...you killed it with the Christmas Card/Family Photos!:) I love soooo so many of them!! I've spent a few hours since yesterday putting together a potential Christmas Card and can't wait to reveal it to you:)

in the mean time...here are a few sneak peeks:)

um, yeah. Go ahead and just quit your life. This child, above, is as cute as it gets. I give up...on everything. Just going to stay home and be around his face;)

it was unfortunate that my usual photographer was ill - NOT cool Courts;) But as you can see...mom did an above average job;) I kid mom. These are amazing and it's true, Courts got her talent from you:)

man...this family of mine is SO cute...we're unstoppable! For real. Try to stop us...we will kill you with our cuteness:)

daily happenings:)

there has been a lot of randomness happening around us lately and so I thought I'd sum it up in one post...lengthy, photo-filled post:)

UP crappy-ish/homemade Christmas Cards were made and sent. I'm disappointed in how they turned out this year. Normally we get the puppies together and take a group photo but somehow we got behind this year. I blame our busyness...or a nap I may have took instead...or the baby inside me (good excuse for anything;).

Next year we'll have a precious little baby. So obviously, it'll be amazing;)

UP laying on the couch...watching the cat, watch the Christmas tree:)

UP with this baby on the way...I find myself wanting to get rid of any and ALL things that I haven't looked at in the last year. That means anything IN closets...is currently on the floor outside of them.

and I discovered that I have an addiction to shopping bags;)

UP thanks to my new, and somewhat improved, schedule...I was able to attend one of my Goddaughter's Christmas Concerts! Felt great to see a surprised smile on her face when I walked in!

UP/DOWN more Christmas Concerts:):)

and a little preview of what I have to look forward to when my kids decide they want to be involved..in ANYTHING...

UP/DOWN as of recent, I've been spending a lot of time helping out with the kiddos (kinda;)...always great to get some play time in:)

UP oops. Forgot that I picked up this dandy a few days ago! An old antique dresser for $50! It's going to serve as the dresser/changing table in our baby room. So excited about this purchase.

1/ cause I'm in love with it

2/ i...love it?!

Crap. It rocks and I can't wait to see it refinished! Going to set aside some time to start sanding after the 1st of the year!!:)

UP/DOWN i had a day off last week and spent the entire day PAINTING! Man. I can't hardly believe I actually finished it. I know me...and me normally starts these things and then before you know it, Jacob's waking me up from a nap and I cry to him until he helps me finish it (and by help ME finish it - I mean...he does it while I drink chocolate milk and eat pop tarts;).

SO pat on the back to me...and I loveeeee the color. It's just a super neutral/pale gray. And I seriously lucked out with the color. My normal/actual paint store was closed the day I went to pick up paint and so I just got a gallon at Walmart (gag) and I was so annoyed at even being there that I literally closed my eyes and pointed at a color. PHEW!

I feel like it looks so much more grown up than the old blue color. This is my evil plan to fool the baby into thinking we can care for it;)

Baby's Thinking Process: ahhhh. What a soothing, mature room color. These 2 obviously know what they're doing:)

and that my friends is the quick version of what's been happening;)

SIDE NOTE: OMG. 4 days till Christmas and I'm seriouslyyyyyyyyyyy excited!!!!!

tday. nom nom:)

this Thanksgiving Jacob was able to join the festivities at my Aunts house for the first time...usually he's hunting. But we had the gathering later this year because me and my sister were working that day. Boo:(

as usual/expected...amazing food and we filled up FAST! I had my one glass of wine:) And most of the drive home we talked about how that get together only gets better after each passing year!

(the other portion of the drive home was spent talking about giving birth. So you can imagine what my dreams were filled with!!! blahhhh;)

i've also been working on some ideas for a Christmas Card...just need to decide if I want to use a photo we already have (wedding/honeymoon) or get Courts to take a new one. So far this year we've had pretty mild weather...so I'm hoping we get a bit of snow in the next week so that we can get a more festive photo to use...and god forbid the doggies not be included;)
