Is January Over Yet?

I hate January, it is when I realize there is still Christmas on the credit card, Tyler needs to do our taxes, the inversion sets in, and my treadmill is still dusty. Thank goodness for Netflix, that little red envelope makes my day. I just watched Jane Eyre from Masterpiece Theatre (PBS) last night, now I have to wait until Monday to see the second disc. It is killing me, and I just may read the book in the meantime, but probably not. I am posting this because I am tired of not having anything to post about so here are a few pictures from January.

Here's how Weston (along with Owen) had to look for days

after seeing High School Musical 3.

Bummer

The culprit.... on the left.

the damage...one broken bed.

The real story:

I was in the next room cleaning while waiting for the twins to go to sleep, but they had other plans. They decided to do bummers in their beds, and I thought they would soon tire and go to sleep. Then I heard a crash and went in to find that the heavyweight had busted his bed. In his words, "UH-OH!" Not so funny to me now because until it gets fixed he is sleeping in my room and taking advantage of it.

Merry, Merry, Merry!

We had a wonderful holiday season with lots of family, lots of food, and lots of good times.

Christmas Eve Party with Grandma and Grandpa Godfrey included some basketball, the kids singing in the program, pinata, and Santa.

The kids were thrilled with all their new things. Paige loved the Barbie Head she got, though if it is left alone in a room it can really freak you out. Weston got an MP3 player for the long Kindergarten bus ride, he is the only one who didn't have one! Oh, and Dad got Hulk Hands to get some energy out with Weston.

A little more of the tree mutilating by the twins, and more fun at Grandma Jaydene's.

On to the Ashcroft's where they were thrilled with more gifts, kind of cramped because they are in the middle of adding on. But the twins were thrilled to be pulled around in the wagon in the unfinished part. We are now awaiting spring to use it.




Thing one and two hiding behind the advent calendar. All the Christmas decor came down on the 26th and life has been easier.

Oh, and our anniversary came and went on Dec. 28th. I stayed home from church with sick kids, then Tyler spent most of the afternoon and evening trying to fix our friend's furnace because they are sitting on a beach in Australia and we were afraid of their pipes freezing.

We have been married for 8 years.
