{New Lens} to Snow Day

This past week or so, we haven’t done a whole lot.

Last Thursday, my neighbor let me borrow a lens he is selling. These photos are from that lens :)

Seems pretty sharp…

After I gave the lens back (reluctantly) I got an email saying one of my lenses I had listed was SOLD. Yeah, the Tamron 28-75 is coming back to live with us!!! :)

Friday, the boys and I hung out at home waiting on Papa to get here. While we waited, I let Gav play with Play-Doh. Yes, a very rare occurrence in this house, but he loves the stuff. He watched the boys while Jon and I went to his coworker’s house. Our first night out alone (not shopping) since June 2010! Much needed!

B just chilled in the living room… as usual.

Gav cleaned up his mess when he was done. Seriously, I didn’t even tell him to do it! :)

Gav loves getting B up from naps. I love these boys!

Saturday, the boys and I ran some errands with my dad. Jon and I went to his work Christmas/Winter party. It was a BLAST! His coworkers and their spouses are wonderful. We had such a great time at The Argosy Hotel and Casino. We had 20 bucks and were going to gamble it away, but I realized I left my wallet at home. Oops. No ID means no gambling. Probably a good thing ;) Maybe we’ll go back some night. The only photo I have from Saturday is a cell photo. Date Night! :)

Sunday, I spent the day cooking. I made Bierocks! Yummmmm! Very time consuming, but so worth it.

Boys in their almost matching pjs. They’re so great!

Monday, we stayed home and prepared for the big snow storm headed our way. Joy.

Tuesday, we became stranded. We got soooo much snow and it’s so cold. When Jon left for work, there wasn’t any snow on the ground. When he got home, he had to dig his way into the cul-de-sac thanks to snow plows.

After shoveling snow, Jon came in and warmed up and played a little hallway football with our future QB :)

New Year | 365/52 Blog

So, I've decided to do a 365/52 blog. What does this mean, you ask? Well, for me, it means that I plan to take a photo every day for a year (that's the 365) and I plan to blog those photos at least once a week (that's teh 52). Now, I'll warn you that it will most likely be 99% photos of my kids. What can I say? I love them :) I've all ready screwed up, though. I missed day #2. Yes, sue me. We were in the car for roughly 7 hours, I was tired and didn't feel like getting the camera out. I made up for it. Other days have more than one photo!
So, here's my first post of the challenge! Days 1-6 and week 1 :)
On the 1st, we had a surprise birthday party for my grandpa. I think he is the world's greatest! He had NO idea! I got the surprise on video and it melts my heart to watch it.


The birthday boy. His actual birthday is the 9th (mine is the 10th!) but we celebrated New Year's Day.


I put together a photo book for him with pictures scanned in. 80 years of memories. Everyone got a little emotional, even Grandpa.


My brother, Trey and B. B kind of just got passed around at the party ;)


The next few photos are just my boys around the house. Just hangin' out.


Santa brought Gav a new umbrella. He loves it!





Mid-sneeze :)


Gav got a new haircut. It's the first good haircut (I think) he's had since we moved here. I was about to give up!


On Wednesday, B found his feet. I love it!



After playing for a while, B crashed on the floor. Don't you just love his crossed ankles?
