Merry December

WOW!!! What a busy month, this is the first time I have sat down at the computer in the last 3 weeks. So I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas.

Starting off the month Rossi wearing ovenmits as shoes. Annie's First cookie, she loved it in case you couldn't tell by the chocolate on her face.

Another dog but she went back to many issues that I could not handle. She was a darling dog. Just had no control of her bladder. The day after I took her back Annie started crawling.

Brooklyn was her name she was a Rot in a bulldogs body.

Annie just being dang cute in her Daddy's arms.

Rossi helping himself to the applesauce.

Look at how many spoons got dropped in there.

Annie's cute winter gear that my mom got her. She is such a doll.

Christmas with my siblings. My mom out did herself again!!!

My nephew, Colt with Annie. He loves babies and they love him.

Rossi could not wait to dig in.

My nieces with Annie, Bri, Kyra, and Josie.

Opening presents.

Annie was happy to just lay in the paper and chew on the bath toy she got.

Rossi got a cool sleeping bag to go with his bed tent.

The Shisler family party. This is Annie pulling Aunt Karen's hair.

My Nieces again.

In the bed tent.

MY Christmas present from my mom. A whole new bedding set. I love it!!!!

Christmas Eve PJ's

Look at what Santa Brought

Ross' parents and sister and her husband came for Christmas. This is Rossi with Uncle Bob, his real name is Rob but that is what he kept calling him.

Annie enjoying her Brother's cars.

My Oh SO COOL sweater that my husband bought me as a gag. However he lost the receipt so Now I am stuck with this ugly sweater. All I need now is a festive turtle neck to go with it.

Rossi has a cool festive shirt too. However, it is cute on him because he is three.

Rossi with Grandpa Ross. See any resemblance?

Rossi did not leave Uncle Bob's side the entire time. He is a pretty fun guy.

Annie with her Grandma Edward.

FHE: This was at Wildlights on Monday. It was a zoo I have never seen the zoo like this.

Some nice guy took our picture.

Anyway, this was my busy month. I hope everyone enjoyed celebrate the Birth of our Savior as much as we did. Have blessed and beautiful new year.

Santa!!!!

Okay, so I would have to say this was the best year for Rossi to see Santa. He was so excited. He waited so patiently to see him. However, as soon as it was his turn Rossi ran up to Santa and gave him a big hug. Annie was a little less than thrilled. She did give him a smile and of course our camera was delayed, we didn't get that picture. The only thing that stunk was Rossi saw Santa go into a room and saw a man come out. So, he wanted to know where Santa went. We had to tell him out the window. So then he combed the church looking for him. I think he is adorable but then again I am his mom.

November one busy month

First stop the dentist. Rossi had his first check up and it didn't go all that great. Dr. Sharples is an awesome dentist and did great at trying to get Rossi to open his mouth. All I know is he has all is teeth and his bite is pretty good. The visit must have had an impact because now he tells everyone he sees that he went to the dentist and he didn't open his mouth.

Second stop: Carriage Hill, this cool little place is in Dayton and it is free and fun. It is an old 1880 farm with Animals, an indoor play area, and a penny candy store. It is worth the drive.

Here the boys are playing with the old fashion kitchen area.

Amber holding Annie.

Here they are playing with the wood block area.

Third Stop: Lunch with Mammaw, Aunt Lolo, and Josie. After Carriage Hill I ventured up to my moms work and had lunch with all the kids, my mom, Lora my sister, and Josie my darling niece. It was actually a really nice lunch and the boys were on their best behavior.

Forth Activity: When the weather is really cold give your child washable markers and let them go to town on your tub. This kept Rossi busy for hours.

Fifth thing for the month: Annie is everywhere now. Here she managed to make it under her dresser. The feel of two children is finally starting to settle in now.

Next: Annie's first goose egg mixed with a little shiner complements of her brother. It was an accident however if he would have listen to me when I told him to stop hitting the blocks over it would have never happened. She is going to be and is a trooper.

One of the biggest highlights of the month: The OSU Michigan game.

This is Annie wearing the fun hate I wore to the game. You can never start them to young!!!

Before the game, I took my mom she was more than excited. It almost seemed like a dream.

Here we are outside the shoe. It is such a glories sight.

Now we are in the shoe. Can I just say anyone that is a Buckeye fan has to experience this game. I have been to many games but none of them even compare to the feel in the stadium as this game does. It is so much more than a game. I completely forgot that my feet were freezing. It was such an awesome experience.

I thought this was pretty cool every time we scored our Military men did push ups. They must have been tired after 44 no wait they are in great shape.

Here the team is coming on to the field what a sight. I was sad too because it was senior day, I know I sound crazy but I got a little teary eyed, you get attached to those boys after four years.

This was seriously one of my life dreams and I am so happy that I got to share it with my Mom. I was hoping that I could have went with Ross but his work schedule did not allow it. I think my mom is very grateful to Ross, when we got home she went and gave him a big kiss and hug while he was still sleeping.




Next: Rossi just being Rossi and putting his animals to work.

Here are my two silly kids Annie woke up from her nap and Rossi jumped in with her. This is what I found when I went into her room. Oh and yes she is sleeping in a pack and play because she is moving to much and she was getting tangled in her bumpers and getting her legs stuck between the rails of her crib. I am just playing it safe and I don't want anything to happen to her. She actually sleeps better.

LAST STOP: Thanksgiving at my Aunt Amanda's

This was the last picture taken can you tell how tired my babies are.

This is my Uncle Tim giving Annie her first set of Bunny ears.

Here Rossi is wrestling with Colt his cousin that he loves dearly.

Can I just say that Annie ate more food than her big brother. This is the face she was making because I was not feeding her fast enough.

This is the traditional lunch line. We are big eaters, I hate that Thanksgiving is only once a year.

Here the kids are with my Grandpa, I just love him so much and I am so happy that he is still here. He got sick over the summer and it was pretty scary. Anyway, I am just happy that my children will get to know their Great Grandpa.

Okay so I know most people have desserts on Thanksgiving but I feel that my family takes it to the extreme. We are such sugar junkies that is probably why most of us develop diabetes in our older ages.

This is my sisters pumpkin roll, it is to die for.

Another picture of all the goodies. My Aunt makes the best cookies. I am in charge of the puppy chow my nephew and cousin were pretty much licking the bowl.

Just another picture for fun.
