December Updates

Updates... YAY!!!

I officially started at the Art Institute in November...

As you can see we are all a little cramped for now! Construction is underway though and we will have a ROCKIN' office at the start of the new year!!

As you all may know, we (okay maybe more me than Ryan) LOVE Christmas time, so what better way to spend it than with good
friends and of course Santa and his trusty elf!

I can't help it -- they look so cute being tortured! I can't wait until they start dating! They are sooooo gonna love that I take tons of pictures!!

And of course we took "prom" pictures -- and the cutest couple award goes to.......

We had other fun activities like drinking, Spilling Drinks, And drinking some more! (What would we do without 2 of our greatest drinkers and drink makers?? -- we love you Tim and Sharee!)

To finish the fab Christmas party weekend off we went ice skating for Andrews birthday party. The boys had a blast and can't wait to go back!

As you can tell, we had some issues at first....

But we got through them and had a ton of fun!!

SLACKER!!!

I am such a slacker I swear!! I need to update more often!

We have been super busy with school, work, jobs, family, friends, and holiday festivities that I have hardly had time to take a breath it feels!

The boys are not doing so great in school -- apparently they are quite the social butterflies! (Way to go Jeremy, Who KNEW!!??). But we have buckled down and the fun is over -- it is time to get those fabulous grades!

Ryan is busier than ever! He is in the process of being promoted to a GF position. It is a little different than he is used to but he is handling it like a pro (almost). I am super proud of him!

I am still working at the swim school part time and still love it and the people I work with...but its time I start doing what I love, so I have started at the Art Institute in their admissions department.

We have started journaling with our friends Tim and Sharee. We hardly have time to do it but it is still enlightening and fun.

Now we are getting ready for Christmas our favorite time of the year!!!

This is gonna be a long one

OH where to start....

Jacob had a super birthday with lots of friends and family!

And Finally to bring us to date, The boys went on a camping trip and left mom (me) at home to finally relax! (AKA Clean the house)!

They had lots of fun! Jeremy fought a good fight with a wasp with only one wound he was able to over come the pesky beast! Jacob fulfilled his dream of becoming pigpin from the Charlie Brown cartoons by staying filthy the whole trip! Finally, whats better than the perfect prank? Jeremy decided to leave a piece of bacon near uncle Ryan's tent, Ryan left snacks, and uncle Danny chipped in some tasty treats as well...the result was Katie looking out the tent to find a skunk's behind aimed right at her! (not to worry no one was stinked up in the making of this prank, but it's still funny!) That's my boys, you can't take them anywhere - not even the wilderness -- scary!




I guess you had to be there??

Told ya -- so dirty the dust makes him look fuzzy!

Well thats all -- Soccer season is here and I am sure I will have plenty to share!

End of the Season

Baseball Season is over...

We loved it this year! Ryan was nervous about coaching but came out of it just fine. We met new friends and got to see old ones too. Jacob was a little A.D.D. on the field but I think he will grow out of it. Can't wait for next year!
