While Daddy's away...

The family will miss him like crazy! Jason is in Nebraska hanging with his best friends, and doing a guest spot at the shop...we've been just hanging out. Had a few things going on and trying to get some things done around the house to surprise Daddy (toys purged, laundry caught up-hahaha, & playrooms organized). Here's some of our shenanigans that we've been taking with our phone & sending to daddy, we thought we'd share with you too!

Mabelle started her first art class this week, and her homework was to draw squares and triangles, cause she's a whiz at circles. Well, I drew a large triangle and square, and told her to draw her own...and SHE DID! My proud little girl and her squares :)

My sweet baby sleeping...it's my new favorite (dark) picture of my little man.

Cash, the best eater ever. Here he is eating his carrots over the sweet peaches on his tray. He ended up eating all my carrots and a bunch of noodles out of my soup!

The new Barbie Peacock Princess dress...because she has a puzzle with her on it, it was on sale, and Christmas didn't bring enough gifts less than 2 weeks ago. Hahaha!

Mabelle playing with one of Cash's Christmas gifts, and Cash wanting it back. So he sat on her! Good for Cash, he always gets toys taken away, I'm glad he's standing (sitting) up for himself.

"Look at my butt!" Her new Hulk panties she got for Christmas, she absolutely loves them!!

11 Month old Cash-y!

Cash hit 11 months on Christmas...and he is into everything and everywhere! He is walking most of the time, and seeing him crawl is a little weird now. He hasn't added more words to his vocab yet, but he is an ornery little guy. He loves for you to chase him, and laughs when he hears the word 'no'. He opens the fireplace and tries to eat the rocks...and smiles so sweetly when you tell him no. He scales the stairs in record time, and giggles when you tell him no. And he LOVES to dance, he dances to any music he hears..commercials, actual songs, or us singing. It's the cutest!! He also has started his very own pout...he slams his chin to his chest in one swift motion, all while crying/whining. But once you pick him up, the chin slamming stops. Put him down again, nonstop chin slamming. HAHAHAHA! It's so darn funny.

Oh my...23 days til he's ONE! Gotta get on his party planning :)

Cute ones...

Cute pics and cute kids :)

Cash's gift from Santa, Mabelle likes to ride it around...

...so Cash will chase her! (watch our Daisy!!!!)

More gifts from our dear friends...Shauna, Greg & CHARLEE!!!!
Little man's gift (a helicopter, he loves making it light up!)

"IT'S TINKERBELL, MOM, IT'S TINKERBELL!!" She loves figurines, and now got to add to her collection! Thanks guys...you're super sweet :)

Isn't that excitement the cutest?!?!?!? Noelle, I think he loves it!

Christmas in Vegas

I did this in a slideshow...watched it and realized it was hard to enjoy and read everything, soooo I uploaded all the images (again), and did double the work to make sure we could share all our wonderful pics with you! Yes....yes...you're welcome...hahahahaha! Ok..so here goes!

We had a wonderful Christmas!! Jason's parents and little sis made the trek to Vegas to enjoy the holiday with us. They came in on Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve, and left early Saturday morning. We had a blast, and really enjoyed Cash's first Christmas!! We wish all of our family could've shared the holiday with us...missed you all!

Our gifts, there are a ton behind the couch as well...whoa...gifts!

Mabelle's loot from Santa!
Cash's loot, plus 2 more toys that Santa allllmost forgot!

Snickers for breakfast...yum!

Candy...Cash sucked on this candy cane for almost an hour before we all realized it had this tiny little hole in the bottom that he was getting flavor out of. Sneaky little guy!
And the opening begins..

More opening...she had a TON of gifts! And really loved every single one!

When she opened the dress-up chest from Grandma Alma, she immediately disrobed and put on the white princess dress (and wore it most of the day).

Piano and Wall-e...

Matching Jordans for my boys :)
Mabelle's gift she picked out for Cash, and wrote their initials on the tag. She helped wrap EVERY single gift (except her own)!

"SSSSHHHHHHHHHH, can you hear Cinderella??" A Cinderella music box, oh, she thinks that's awesome!

Look at the excitement on Cash's face!

Some cute ones before Christmas :)

My two walking babies...I did NOT coordinate the white tees and jeans, but how sweet did that end up?!? Cash is now walking probably 90% of the time, he has exploded the past few days!

My beautiful blondie.

"I'm the statue of liberty, Mom!"

He loooves that magic wand, a boy and his wand...

Can you see in the crack of the door? He has started terrorizing his sister...especially while she's on the potty. He laughs hysterically, sometimes she laughs...most of the time she screams.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

From our family to yours...
