Ugly Sweaters and New Furniture!!!

Every year our street has a little holiday party! It's one just for the adults and it is so much fun. Usually we just do a white elephant thing but this year our great neighbors came up with something new. An Ugly Sweater party! I was so excited because I knew that we knew a few people in our family who had some pretty funky holiday sweaters. My Grandma has a huge stash so I knew that was were we needed to look! I found a great one for me and Richard even decided that he would wear one of my Grandmas that he found! I was totally excited and we were in it to win it! I was determined that we were going to win the ugly sweater award!

Here is Richard sporting his ugly sweater! He looked great! Me in mine. I had a lot going on here!


And yes folks Richard took the grand prize for the ugliest sweater! They gave him this donkey! He said that they gave him an ass for making such an ass out of himself! It was great. I especially like this picture because every ones camera was going off at the same time so it really looked like he was accepting a major award!

Me and Richard and the major award!

Here are our great neighbors that put on the party this year! Bruce and Kathy it was great and we had so much fun!

In other news we finally got out new furniture! I'm so excited it was suppose to come almost 3 weeks ago I thought that it would never get here! We got it for our sitting room. I have hated this room since the day that we moved into this house, I thought that there would never come a day that I would like this room! When we moved in it had pink carpet mint green walls and was just ugly! It sort of has a weird shape to it! I have tried to make it good as good as I could but never any success! But now I'm in love......

Here is our new love seat!

Our big new chair!

Here is the whole thing put together! I know it is a little dark but I hope that you can still see it! I put up some red curtain today! It is finally the room that I have always wanted it to be. I can't wait for someone to come to my house and see it because I think that it looks that amazing! I've always just wanted it to look warm and inviting and homey! It turned out great! Happy New year I hope that you all have a wonderful time and have an even better 2010!

Our Late Christmas!!!

Yesterday Christmas came a little late for us! Richard finally decided that it was time for us to get a Wii! This decision has only taken him a few years. It is so exciting and we are having so much fun with our new toy!

Richard with Wii Knii! that is what we named it!

Trey with our fun new game! We loved this ride at Disneyland and it is even funner at home! I'm going to be a pro by the time we go back!

Trey trying so hard to open his new game!

Me and Trey rockin' the Wii! It's alot harder than it looks!
Richard was really getting into it! Me and him stayed up and played it after the boys fell asleep! It reminded me of our younger years when we would play the game cube together ;) It is alot of fun and I'm glad that Richard finally made up his mind! Trey is loving it and it is a really great thing for us to do as a family!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas! We hope that you all had a wonderful day and that it was everything that you hoped that it would be! Christmas was great for us and we had a wonderful time with our little family and our extended families! So, lets get started with our fun festivities! On Christmas Eve my Grandma always has a party for the fam it is alot of fun and every year something crazy happens this year didn't disappoint! My Grandma is a funny little lady, she is always concerned about me and Richard's love life if you know what I mean! So she is obsessed with those "Santa's little helpers" outfits if you can call them an outfit! She is always telling me that she sees them at the store and wants to buy them for me, thankfully she hasn't yet.

So present time started just like this Richard relaxing with the Grinch when all of the sudden everyone in the room stopped and said that they couldn't wait for Richard to open his present. Now, this isn't normal usually it is madness and everyone is ripping into there stuff. Well Richard got a little nervous and didn't want to open it but finally did and this is what my GRANDMA got him.....

What was she thinking? And in front of the whole family she said, "Wahoo, Megan is going to be getting a present tonight!" Yes that is what my family parties are like.....crazy! I think we will talk about it for years to come about the year Grandma gave Richard the Santa's little helper! I can also guarantee that she will ask me if Richard has put is on for me yet the next time I talk to her!

Later that night we came home and set out Santa's treat. We weren't going to but Trey was set on giving Santa something to eat when he got to our house! So we gave him a coke and a cookie. Nothing like alot of sugar to keep Santa moving! Also that night we discover that our Camera had seen its day and decided that it was going to die and I mean no longer function. Seriously at about 930 at night! What to do!

That morning the boys woke up early...well Trey did and he couldn't wait so we had to wake up Jack. He wasn't trilled about this at all! We had to resort to using our phones to take pics that is why they don't look that good!

Trey got the one and only Bumble Bee helmet! We are all having alot of fun playing with that one!

And Jack got Buzz Light year! Ever seen we went to Disneyland Jack has loved Buzz! He is having a really good time with him!

Sadly this is how little Jack spent most of our Christmas! He is getting about 4 teeth at the moment can't poop and is just having a down right awful day for the last couple of days!

Later in the morning we went to spend some time with my dad. It was great, his GF was there with her kids and they all had a really great time! The boys were spoiled and Trey was really sad when Christmas came to an end!

But then this happened at about 4:00pm I walked in from outside.....

This is what my face looked like when Richard said,"I fixed the Camera!" Merry Christmas everyone I hope that you all had as great of a time as we did! We hope that you have a Happy New Year and that 2010 is even better than 2009!

Better Late Than Never!!!

My neighbor that lives across the street from us took some pictures of the boys one day when they were out playing during the summer. She just brought them over to us last night and I had to put them on here because they were so cute.

I remember this one she wanted to take a picture of Trey's cute Dino shoes. He was posing like a pro and he looks so cute with his little shaved noggin!

This one is a better one of him and the shoes. He is such a natural!

I don't know what this was about, but it is funny!

Such a weirdo!

More weirdness!

Here my little Jacky so cute!

I can't believe how little he looks in these pics and it was only in July! He is growing up so fast and I loves his little shaved head! Trey told me that he is growing his hair out right now so it hasn't been cut for a while! That means that Jack's hair is getting long too! I hope that they both will let me shave it off when it gets warm again!

Preschool Graduation and Santa!!!

Yesterday Trey Baby graduated from his very first session of preschool! I'm so proud of how well he has been doing and how great he has been at picking up on Spanish! They did a cute little program were they sang songs in Spanish and English and Trey was by far the loudest singer! If you know him you know that he loves to sing! He did such a great job!

Here is Trey with Teacher Mar(left) and Teacher Kris(right)! They have been so great with him. Teacher Mar has been really patient with Trey and he just loves her! She really understands him and has been really good about his social butterfly-ness. He just loves her!

Trey with his diploma and his very special handmade pinata! It is so cool, Teacher Mar made them for all the kids!

Last night we went to a Christmas Party for Grandma Princesses side of the family it was alot of fun but the best part was that Santa was there. Trey has been dying to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas so I'm glad that he finally got a chance!

Here we all are with Grandma Tygesen!

Here is poor little Jack with Santa. He didn't want anything to do with him! Doesn't surprise me!

But here is the pro. Trey was all about business with Santa! He climbed right up on his lap and got straight to business! He told him what he wanted and Bumble Bee helmet and Blaster! Hope Santa comes through or this will be one disappointed little guy ;)! We had a great time and it was great to see everyone!

Christmas with the Davidsons!!!

We had a very busy weekend. We had the Davidson Family Christmas Party, it was great to get together with all of Richard's extended family. Richard's Grandparents put on a great party every year. It was great this year because he had cousins that we usually don't ever see that came to it was fun to get together with them.

Best thing of all about this weekend was that we got Richard all to ourselves the whole time. It was great. He didn't have to work Saturday or Sunday so it was a little extra special. I don't think that me or the boys wanted him to go to work today!

Here is Grandpa Stud and Jack having a great time at the Davidson Party! This is Jack's new picture face of the moment! We call it giving me the eyes! It's his flirty face.

Me and Jack partying it up!Trey giving Grandma Nancy some love after getting the PG13 movie Transformers. The kid loves Transformer, but did I mention that he is 3. I don't know if we will be watching that anytime soon.

On Sunday we headed to Grandma Princess and Grandpa Stud's house to do Christmas with them. It was so fun to have everyone there. It was fun to have both of our nieces and our little nephew there. Trey and Jack were in heaven having so many friends to play with.

Trey got a little Green man from Toy Story from Princess and Stud he loves it!
Here's Jacky all smiles. He was such a trooper! He didn't have a nap all day and he didn't get cranky not once! He had so much fun!

These two are just the best little buddies! Carter just gets to excited to see Trey it is so cute!

Here is Carter hiding from his mom after he stole her Coke! I just love this kid, he is so funny!

I made these cute little hats for Lenna and AnaBelle! I have been dying for them to try them on since I made them. I had to resort to trying them on Jack just so I could see what they looked like! Lenna looks so super cute in hers.

Here is AnaBelle in hers. I don't want to toot my own horn or anything but I did amazing and the girls look super cute!

Jack loved playing with Baby Lenna! Good thing that she is here for a little bit longer so that we can still play with her! She is so fun! We had a great family filled weekend. It was so much fun and the boys played so hard that they crashed as soon as we got home. It was great to see everyone and it is so fun when we can all get together! Thanks Princess and Stud for giving us such a wonderful Christmas! We love you!!!

A Big Mess!!!

One day while I was cooking dinner..........

This cute little mister.....

....took this.......

...and created this!

What a mess. Jack likes to sit on the counter while I make dinner and just watch. He never moves he just sits there. Lately he has figured out how to turn on the radio and how to turn it up and groove to the music. He did just this and while his arms were going all sorts of crazy he bumped the candle ( I had turned it off, but it had been on all day so like half of it was melted). It went every where except all over him. It was alot worse than this picture. I ended up scrapping it off with a spatula and then to get the small film that was left I had to use a blow dryer to get it to come off! He felt so bad I could tell he just kept coming over and hugging me like he was saying "I'm sorry mommy!" I could never be that mad at him. I just can't believe that he did that and what a mess it was.

My Life With Boys!!!

Life with all these boys isn't as glamorous as you might all think ;) Yesterday while we were eating dinner, Trey informed us that he needed to take care of business...if you know what I mean! Richard went to help his since he still requires a little assistance. When I walked up there this is what I found...


Yes that is Trey reading a magazine just like dad and that is Richard reading a mag and eating a hamburger!
Don't worry about Jack as soon as he found out were the party was at he came and joined in the this fun male bonding experience! This is my life with boys and I'm lovin' every minute of it!

P.S. I'm sure that one day Trey is not going to be to happy about these wonderful pics I put on here of him! But until then I hope everyone gets a good laugh!

Dear Old Navy...We Are Not Friends!!!

Today Richard asked me if I would go to old navy and do some Christmas Shopping for him! I gladly accepted after all it is laundry day (My most hated day of the week) and we know that I can't pass up and opportunity to get out of the house and go SHOPPING! So we got ready and me and the boys headed out for a morning at Old Navy! Now these times at old navy are usually pretty great! I think I need to tell a small back story from last week when I went so that you can understand the unfriendly relationship that me and old navy are having at the moment! Last week 2 days after thanksgiving I decided to go and see if I could get a little Christmas shopping done! Now old navy is having guitar hero out in their store for people to play! Trey saw it and was totally excited! It was rather busy there so I told him that we couldn't play today and that we just needed to get done what we were doing so we could get out of there! I didn't want to get stuck there for to long with 2 crazy boys! We finished shopping and we were about to head out! I had gotten Trey out of the cart and then I was getting Jack out when Trey took advantage of my weak moment and darted toward the guitar hero at the back of the store! This threw me into a mild panic because who knows what kind of crazies there are out there who might just want my little Trey for themselves! I finally caught up to him and it wasn't pretty he got the what if someone stole you from me lecture all the way home!

Now cut to today...

We were walking out the door and Trey was right behind me I was holding Jack and the bag and I saw that he was coming out the door so I let go of the door. I knew that he had plenty of time to make it out! Well I turned to grab his hand so he didn't run into the parking lot and all I hear is him screaming and laying on the ground! Then I saw blood..lots of blood coming down his face! Folks he had gone into "don't pay attention to were I'm going mode" and the door hit him right in the face! I kept my composer got him up and walked swiftly to the car! Just as I opened to door so that I could set Jack down Trey started screaming that Jack had thrown his bouncy ball and was now rolling down the parking lot! Some poor little lady saw him screaming about the ball so started to chase it! Obviously she doesn't know our rule of you throw it you loose it...FOREVER! I started to help Trey with his face! The poor little guy looked like he just got out of a war! People were staring giving me the "what is wrong with that mother look"! The lady ended up catching up with the ball, very nice of her! I got them both strapped in and made it home! Trey was pretty upset but he now thinks that he is the coolest kid because of this..........

He is one tough cookie! I didn't take pictures of the before I thought that would put me on the worst moms list so this will have to do! Trey feels pretty awesome with a band aid on his face but what boy wouldn't!
