Playing Catch-up!

Not that many of you care but I have noticed that my blogs lately are just photos of the kids....which is why half of you come here. However, the other half see my kids all the time and are completely over their cuteness...in fact, they probably don't think they are all that cute with all the fussing and moaning that goes on.

Anyhow, I thought I would write a few random thoughts down just to catch you up on what all has gone on.

1. Ramsey has a precious new hair cut. This was not a planned event but after she and her BFF Ava decided to play beauty parlor, it was a necessity! Beaty. School. Dropouts.
I will post pictures of that sometime soon.

2. We are super busy around here and frankly I don't have time for Dustin to be traveling but he is so I am dealing. He is only gone tonight and will be back in the early afternoon tomorrow but I am still overwhelmed with all that needs to happen between now and then.

3. My condensed To-Do List: clean, cook, bake, laundry, wrap, organize, double check my list, deliver local Christmas cards, pick up tamales, find something to wear to church, last minute shopping, grocery store and NOT waste time on blogs and facebook!!

4. We are super excited about Christmas this year. I can't wait to see sweet Ramsey's face when she walks out and sees her Princess Aurora talking vanity! If she doesn't scream with excitement I will seriously be disappointed. Bryson will just try to eat the wrapping paper so I don't expect too much out of him!

5. Family comes in tomorrow and Wednesday so I really need to quit wasting time and get to that list.

6. Oh, one last thing......I had so much fun at Erin's cookie exchange this weekend. She has opened her house to her friends for 3 years now and it is always such a good time. It is always great to have grown-up time to catch-up, laugh, eat and drink. Plus, we all walked out of there with huge boxes of cookies!!! It has now become a part of my holiday traditions and I am just happy that she hosts such a fun time every year! Thanks to Dustin for watching the kiddos so I could go.

Thanks for reading this pointless blog....I promise after the new year my blog will get better. (at least I will put more effort into it)

Tagged....

I was tagged by Erin to post the 4th picture in the 4th file of my digital photo storage. Poor Bryson, he was always having to share his bassinet with his sister's toys. I wish I still had that paci though!!!

I am tagging: Melisa and Carin!

Just pictures......

Strike a pose

We know his thighs are bigger....but is his head too??

Very rare picture of mommy and Bryson
(and yes he does wear clothes)

He found the tree!

9 month stats

length: 29 1/4 inches 90th%
head: 18 95-97th%
weight: 21lbs5oz 50-75th%

So, once again it was confirmed that our big boy has one BIG head! Dr. N said he looked great and isn't concerned that he still isn't crawling.....however, he is getting SO close. He has moved from the rocking on all fours stage to now scooting backwards. He should be crawling soon.....hopefully our Christmas tree can handle it! He is still super congested so we are back on antibiotics with the hopes that it will clear it all up.

Hope this finds you all having a good week.

Enjoy your evening!

Sunday Tea Party.....

They aren't dressed in their Sunday tea finest but they sure had fun!!

Christmas picture preview......

Pictures with kids are a beating to say the least but I am so happy that we (our friend Miles) was able to capture some cute shots of us. We were going to do the outdoor thing but Bryson had an ear infection so we went to the Gaylord Texan Opryland Hotel instead. Look for your christmas card coming soon!

Late night laughs......

Thanks to my sister Jenni, Ramsey has this "oh-so wonderful" Elmo stocking that we bust out Christmas season. It doesn't fit in with my holiday theme throughout the house so it is something that we try to keep in her room.....not only because it is so "cute" but because in his most high-pitched voice Elmo screams/I mean sings "Jingle Bells".

Last night while Dustin and I were bumming out on the couch we heard this going off in her room......probably around 10:15 at night. Now, she had been in bed for over an hour and we couldn't believe that she was still awake. I told D that I thought she probably just rolled over him in her sleep. Not the case, the next thing we know Elmo is screaming his song again and Ramsey is right there with him. She only did it for a few minutes before it was quiet again but we laughed the whole time!!

She is such a rock star!
