what i did all day

Today I decided to get the page I am bringing to my scrapbook retreat in march done. 15 ladies get together to put each others pages together, and everyone always brings their top pages. It really makes me nervous that mine will be the crappy ones! I have really drug my feet to finally put it together, and see how my ideas come together on paper. So, I decided today.... no more procrastination. I spent MOST of the day and got mine done. Yeah!! I hope everyone loves them in march!

Wii crazy

Most of our family time has been spent lately having wii challenges. So I have quite a few cute wii pics of our whole family. I got a video of austin, who totally thought he was singing for rockband. It was pretty cute. We have had alot of fun. (mixed with the occasional battle)

siding drama






















We are thinking of residing our house and can not decide on a color that will both match our rock and brick and style of our house. So anyone with a great idea. Line me out! :) The white is what it started at and it is the red now. But we have six peaks and two pop out with siding, and all the trim.



So I snuck to the computer to update my blog while I had a minute. While I was checking my email the kids and Jeff got out the wii and rockband. This is a fun game to play. It is even a funnier to watch. Jeff gets so crazy when he's playing with the kids. As I am typing I am laughing so hard, because I can hear Jeff in a very high pitched voice singing thunderstruck. It is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. There are lots of peopl in this world with good blackmail thanks to rockband and youtube. Watch out AC/DC Jeff's coming for your jobs! I am so going to go get pics and post them later!

This year I put off sending Christmas cards because I knew we were getting family pictures taken at Jeff's parents in December. I figured I could make up some cute New Years cards and send a picture out with them. Now that the holidays are over I have lost all my holiday excitement. I am liking having Christmas over and cleaned up. So.... I am posting our family pictures and hoping everyone has a great New Years, and enjoying the post holiday bliss, that comes from no place to run to, nice empty clean rooms where your tree once was, and kids still very much entertained with their new Christmas toys. Consider this your Merry New Years greeting.
