Breast Deal Combo $3.95

I never read the paper, but as I was sitting here in this cozy house over looking the mountains frosted with a bit of snow I decide to take a peek. The first thing I noticed was a breast combo deal for $3.95. I am delighted. I could use a breast combo deal I think to myself. I have nursed six kids. A breast combo deal would do me good. Then much to my disappointment I realize that it is a deal that only the Colonel can offer. Mashed potatoes included. Not exactly what I had in mind.

My Naked Is Cold

It snowed today at my parent's house. Just in time for Santa and his reindeer to leave footprints on Christmas Eve. How exciting. It is beautiful here. Reminds me of my childhood. It feels like home here in the country away from the hustle and bustle.

As I was getting Evan ready for church this morning after his bath, things were a bit nippy in The Black Hills. Evan shivering looks at me and says in his little two year old voice, "My naked is cold." Too cute. Too adorable.

Merry Christmas Eve! May your Christmas be warm!

I Am Deserving Him

I know, I know, I am a slacker. I haven't written in forever. So, here is my final blog entry for 2006 because I know I will most likely be too busy from now until the 31st to write again.

Ian got the greatest present today. A friend of ours moved today, and he had been storing some large items in a large box at our house. He picked up the items and left the box. I just said something to Ian who is "surfing" on the box, and he very emphatically told me I was "deserving" him and a few other adorable tries at the word distracting. He then turned down my festive Christmas music saying that was "deserving" him as well and continue on his way. His greatest concern at this point is that I am going to snatch his box away from him. He is constantly asking me what I am going to do with his box when I am finished cleaning the house. He just asked if he can keep it under the hockey table. I am feeling generous so I think I will let him. He is too cute.

We are going to celebrate Christmas with my parents this year. I honestly don't remember the last time I spent Christmas away from home. Maybe 14 years or so. I have had people here, but I don't think I have gone anywhere. Who knows though. I have memory loss extremely bad these days.

I was talking to my dad today on the way to the mailbox, and I was telling him how someone had lost a bunch of shingles off their roof during the severe wind storm we just had. I turned around, and it was our roof. Scary this adult thing. Fortunately we are only out under $20.00 because I have a husband who can do the work. Yea!

I hope that as you celebrate the birth of our savior that you have a blessed Merry Christmas.

Hunting Christmas Trees

This was our annual Christmas Tree Hunt. We search the fields for a perfect tree, the kids have to lug it back with no help from us, and then they are rewarded with peppermint sticks and hot chocolate. It was a crisp, cool, dry day. A good day for tradition.

IT'S A BOY!

A long time ago in a far away land, well not that far away, I met an amazing woman. She was the greatest friend a girl could ever asked for. So much has changed in those almost nine years. We both have married, and now we will both have experienced the amazing thing of being a mom to the male species! She just found out today that she is having a little baby boy. Yea! Congratulations, Krista. You and Tom are going to be and already are amazing parents!

"I'm Fine."

Evan and Mommy snuggling before nap time.

"Evan can Mommy have a kiss please?"

"No, I'm Fine"

How do two year olds come up with this stuff?

Just now he came up to me with one of my Christmas decorations and asked me, "Is this a hot dog?"

Is everything a hot dog to males? It was a red candle.
