A new nephew!

Chris and I now have 4 nieces and TWO nephews! Little Isaac was born last night! Here are some cute photos:

He is so stinking cute! I didn't actually get to hold him because I haven't been feeling well the past couple of days and I didn't want to get him sick with whatever I might possibly have, if anything besides allergies :( this was sad, but I made up for it by taking 90 pictures of the cutie and there are always more days to hold the little man!

I am behind on posting, so you will get a new years post after this one, so they will be out of order, but I felt the need to share this blessing now! I hope the rest of ya'lls weekends are off to a great start as mine is!!

Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas with our family! So great! And this year we even made it through without any credit card debt! First time since we have been married! Here are some pics from our time with the fam.

Oh the Lights

Connie and I have sort of made it a tradition for us to go look at Christmas lights with the girls every year. We all enjoy it, but apparently men do not. Fine by us, because we usually have a very fun and giggly evening. This year was good like the rest. We went to our normal spot, but unfortunately there was a 2 hour wait to sit in line and view the lights, so we decided to take some back roads and look at the less popular streets. Well, we were rebels and actually got in line later to see some of the "hot spots" and thus presenting our wonderful crazy silly videoes. Now you can be a witness to our silliness. Enjoy!

Who needs formal dance training when the skills come natural?? Super cute!

And last but not least a super cute picture of the 4-year-old

Winter Wonder Slam!

On Sunday night, Chris and I went to the Winter Wonder Slam concert, which included Family Force 5, Relient K and Toby Mac.

When Chris and I were dating we went to Christian Rock concerts all the time, but since we have been married we have been to none. And can you believe we forgot how much we enjoyed going to Christian Rock concerts?? I can't believe it either!

We had an awesome time! Even if the concert didn't end until 11:30 and Chris had to be to work at 5:45AM the next day and I had to be there at the normal 7:00 AM.

We did feel like some of the oldest, non-youth sponsor, but rather concert-attending fans there. It was quite funny! We had great seats and were on the second row behind the "pit" FULL of teenagers and youth sponsors.

One thing I forgot though was my ear plugs...oh yeah, laugh all you want but even when I was a teenager I always made sure that I wore my ear plugs to concerts. Well, as you all may know, I have a purse fully stocked of many items, so I thought to myself, SURELY I can find something in here that will work and will save my ears from this deafening rock noise! So I found vicks-scented Kleenexes...didn't know they made such a thing? Well they do and they are lovely to blow your nose into, but I ended up tearing off small pieces and shoved them into my little ears and AHHH the concert was SO much more enjoyable. Chris just laughed, but I understand how hearing loss affects your entire life, HELLO, my dad!! So I do not want to even increase my chances of losing my hearing.

The concert was great as I said before, but the most awesome thing was: TOBY MAC STOOD ON THE CHAIR RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!! Oh, yes that is right, as he was doing his crazy energetic show he came through the crowd and stood on the chair right next to me! I did not touch him however...I am not one of those creepy fans who feels the need to reach out and touch an extremely sweaty rock star no matter how good-looking they might be. Well I got pictures to prove the awesomeness of the show so I will leave you with them. Good day!

I have about a 100 pictures from the concert, so if you want to view them all, send me your email address and I will get them out to ya!

This makes me laugh...

We took Spencer to a new groomers today...and his new "do" is cracking me UP! Here are before and after pictures. I like the shorter hair though...just going to have to get used to him looking this way! I think I will like it better when it grows out just a little bit...

My View
