HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We forgot to drink our Martinelli's on New Year's Eve, probably because we all dozed off watching Dick Clark's ROCKIN' EVE...so we had it with our breakfast instead...Hi Taylor...you can't get away from me and my camera!
We got all the Christmas decorations down...
Except for our Christmas cards...I love having our friends hanging on the door, so I'm not taking them down yet. Besides, some of them we got after Christmas! We were a little scarce this year, I would like to think they didn't make it to us because we moved, not for some other reason. There is just something about getting Christmas cards, I love it!
Well...here goes, we have a new furry friend that joined our family on Saturday...
Meet PHOEBE ANN WILLICUTIE...aka..PAW (funny, huh...Dale came up with that one! He's clever like that!)
She is pretty cute, the kids and Dale are having so much fun playing with her. I enjoy just watching them and how funny that little creature is. I get the lovely duty of taking care of her 85% of the time, which means potty training. I wish they came already potty trained...oh well. The things we do for our kids and husband.
I must say though...she really is doing good. She is sleeping through the night now (whew!) and is doing pretty good with the potty training. She is a really good puppy, so I guess I will admit I like her...a lot.
She loves to chew and play.
I think she likes Dale the best...she cried this morning at the door when he left for work...kinda cute!
This is her favorite thing to do to Dale...so funny to watch!
She likes Taylor's hair too, maybe you should let me cut your hair Taylor?!
I just love the smiles she is putting on my kids faces!!!

House Guests!!!
Some of our favorite people came down from D.C. to visit last week. There is ALWAYS fun to be had when the Warnock's come to play.
Our kids get along so well, and the Mom's love it!
We had enough left over snow that the kids built a snowman, they loved playing out in the cold, white stuff!
We all had a great time on the wii with Just Dance2...the Mom's even boogied, but of course we can't post that!!!
Colby had the camera and even got a REAL smile out of Taylor! (love it!)
Remember that nerf gun I was talking about...well the girls pretty much didn't have a chance with these 2 boys and their guns!
Love the laugh on John's face...priceless!
Dale set up his tent up in the bonus room for the boys to camp out in...and play games until the wee hours of the morning...
The rest of the kiddos lined up in a row in their sleeping bags on the floor in Taylor's room. (nice smiles girls??)
These 2 get along great, I still can't believe how big they are getting!
One of the things I admire most about the Warnock kids, is their creativity. I taped some butcher paper to the floor, and told them to draw something fantastic...and they didn't disappoint!
To get to our house you have to drive on a bridge that is almost 5 miles long, so I LOVED it when I saw what these girls came up with! I love everything from the bridge to the purple clouds. This piece of artwork is now hanging proudly in the bonus room. Can't wait for these guys to come back so we can add more artwork to the barren walls!
And of course what is a visit from Colby without a trip to Sonic...ok 2 trips to Sonic!!! I'm so glad she shares my obsession!
My life is about to change tomorrow...we are bringing home our new puppy Phoebe!
I'm scared...real scared!!!

Christmas twenty~ten.
I got the kids to pose for the traditional Christmas Eve picture before they opened their Christmas jammies.
I just LOVE the smiles on their faces as they rip into their presents!
Still loving Maddie's excitement....but what happen Taylor???
You know you are getting pajamas so why the "oh geez, they are just pajamas" face? Oh yeah...every year he hopes it will be something else! Nope!
But Maddie is so thrilled with clothes, and I LOVE that about her! (of course we all know I did that to her :P)
So as I was going through my pictures to post, I realized I took a lot of video, but not a lot of pictures...so here are a few of Christmas Morning...
Maddie got the coveted American Girl doll, she named her Megan. She also got a bunch of outfits to change her into, and a bed for her. She loves her and is so cute with her!
Taylor got the Nerf Stampede gun...the mother of all nerf guns. He also got his own camera and the new Razor "Siege" scooter. I didn't get any still shots, but I'm positive you will see a lot of photos with Taylor and the stampede, it's a real hit!
We are just so happy we were able to be together as a family this Christmas. It was a nice quiet day!
That evening the news was reporting that a huge snow storm was headed our way...and boy were they right!
The next morning we woke up to a blanket of snow, and it continued to snow all day long! (They even cancelled church!) We ended up getting over a foot of snow. Too bad we didn't have snow gear to go and play in it.
Taylor and Dale got to work shoveling the walks. I went out and shot just a few pictures, but it was too cold and I didn't want my camera to get wet...so I went in and stayed :)
Whoops...the snow flake got Dale in the face!
They played in it for a little bit, but Maddie is like her Mom...we don't like to be cold or wet.
Taylor, on the other hand is like his Dad, he doesn't care...
I mean who shovels snow and plays in it for hours with just a hoodie on?

A Christmas Tradition.
I'm trying to get caught up on blog posts. I know Christmas has come and gone, but one of the things the kids look forward to doing with their Dad is baking and decorating cookies. They missed out on it last year since he was gone, so they had been asking and begging every night!
Getting all ready for the decorating.
Being silly.
Let the decorating begin.
Tasting.
Happy eating.
We ended up eating most them. We didn't get around to delivering any because they kept disappearing...oh well, there is always next year!
I'm making some progress...3 posts in one night...I'm on a roll!

A quick trip to D.C.
Earlier this month we took a quick trip up to D.C. to visit with some of our friends from our time out at Beale AFB. One of the best things about the Air Force are the people you meet along the way. It is so fun to be stationed out here on the east coast and get to see the friends we met on the west coast.
We left the kids with a babysitter and rode the metro into old Alexandria for a fun lunch with the Warnock's and Armstrong's. Of course the ladies needed to pose for a pic...
Colby, Rebecca, and Cara.
On our way to the restaurant we saw this cupcake place we knew we had to stop by after lunch. Colby and I had went for the vanilla bean with chocolate frosting...YUM.MMY!
It was a fun little afternoon date with some great friends!
Still wishing we weren't 2 1/2 hours away, but we will take what we can get!

Big Apple~Day 2~My Birthday!
Saturday the 27th was my birthday, so we left all the kiddies home with Rachel (thank you, thank you!) and headed into the city for a fun day with no kids. First on the agenda was to try and get my fake coach handbag from Chinatown. Kerri and Paul dropped Dale and I off at Broadway and Canal St. to try to quickly get the goods. We had quite the "underground" experience locating my much desired bag, but in the end we found one and thankfully Dale was with me to negotiate! Sorry no picture of the bag...but I love it! After that we headed to the theater district for our show.
I have wanted to see Mamma Mia on Broadway for sometime...I love Abba! It was a fun show, especially the 6 or 7 encore songs they performed in spandex...the whole audience was up dancing...it was so fun!!! I'm so glad Kerri made this happen for me, she is such a great friend!!!
After the show we made the trek up Broadway to a very delicious and highly recommended Italian Restaurant. It was so yummy! They even brought out canoli's for desert with a candle...they were heavenly!
We had fun walking around Times Square and soaking up the sites and people. It was my best Birthday so far! Having my birthday so close to Thanksgiving, it sometimes gets over looked, so I was so happy to have such a fun weekend with friends and family!
