Doing the Things Boys Do . . .

I caught a few glimpses the past few weeks of boys being boys and just doing what boys do . . . reading the paper while going potty  . . .







. . . . working on their truck . . .





 . . . . playing video games with friends . . .



. . . .  and, of coarse, making their mama smile . . .

After Christmas, I remained in crazy women mode running around doing a million different things and it was putting me in a grumpy, unsettled funk. One day I just stopped and enjoyed my boys and everything came back into perspective. Life is good, especially when you slow down and see the world threw the eyes of your children!

Enjoy your weekend!  ~j

The Santa Express

I am playing catch up withe our December memories!

All Aboard the Santa Express!





Bryce is into trains big time right now and he loves the Polar Express. So, we hopped aboard the Santa Express in Lancaster for a Christmas Train Ride to visit Santa with the Ardrey Cousins.







The Ardreys' . . .  everything is more fun with your cousins!!


The Whitakers'

A visit with Santa

The boys were very excited about Santa this year, but when it came to sitting in his lap and talking to him they both opted out! Oh well!! We just wrote him an extra nice letter instead! Atleast we got a picture with them this close to him!!




The Conductor punches their train tickets. Bryce was a train conductor for Halloween so he really enjoyed seeing The Conductor . . .  maybe more than Santa!!


Brother was very excited about his REAL train ticket!!
