one of the pictures that i found as i was browsing through my phone. we are on our way to a NYE party tonight. Happy New Year!

two in a row.....

and I am on a roll~

Today all the Christmas decorations went bye-bye. Hongo dragged the tree out to the porch and cleaned up all the mess the tree had left behind.
We relaxed today, which was nice. Everyone was playing with their new toys, and we watched football together.
We also bought one more gift. It is for Hongo and I to share. Its a new bat *lol*
Ah....how romantic!

I can't wait for the new season of softball to start. I think I am ready. I got a new Under Armour Cold shirt and some pants to go under my running pants. New batting gloves, and I'll have some new socks and cleats in a few weeks. I'm all set.

I know I haven't mentioned it, but I am knitting the LegoQueen a sweater. I am almost done with the body of it. I have to make it long enough for her. She hates when the sweater shows her stomach when she raises her arms, so this one is pretty long. She is excited about the sweater, but I never have a whole lot of time to knit so it has been moving slowly.

This week I am going to try to slow down a bit since once Jan 5th comes around, I will be super busy again.

Stay warm! I'm freezing!

Christmas...

I know...it was two days ago. But the world just stopped spinning long enough for me to sit and relax. Hongo is putting up his new plasma Tv that I bought him for Christmas, and I am enjoying my new Zune that he bought me. We always buy our gifts for each other when we are together, so yesterday was our little Christmas.
I think Hongo actually made out better than I did this year - he got the Tv and a new HD receiver and a new DVD player. His whole life is in High Definition, lol.
I got the zune (debated a long time whether I wanted the Ipod, but the zune won out) and I will be getting a new DS as soon as one is back in stock in the color that I want.
The kids had a great Christmas, they all got DS's and LegoQueen received her long awaited Ipod. Grandma and Papa got them everything on their lists and more. DQ got a new bike, The Hairy One got a WALL-E robot (which is kind of annoying since he always plays with it right where I am stepping.
Oh and our big gift to the kids was Rock Band. Drums, Guitar and Microphone. Hongo and LQ were rocking out on Christmas Day.
Life is good, and I am so happy for the 4 day weekend to enjoy it with my family.

snow day!

Wow, its been over a month...anyway....its snowing!

We have been out twice today and the snow just keeps coming! We sat and relaxed together and the kids did their lessons (just cuz its snowing doesn't mean we stop our plans!) Then I let them out to go play.
Its been a nice quiet day at home. Very welcomed since for the past few weeks its been go..go...GO! We were out all day Monday and Tuesday visiting with friends and running errands. I've been in Apple Valley so much I should just live there....
Actually that might not be too far fetched. I was looking at houses again in AV and thinking about how much it would take to get us there. We probably wouldnt have to sell this current house to do it. I do love my house and my neighborhood, my neighbors, etc but I see us living in a bigger home with more rooms. I would really love something with more land too.
Just dreaming on a snowy day, while I sip hot cocoa and watch the kids play through the window. Its too cold out for me. I was out in the front with them this morning and I thought I was going to die. I finally convinced them to go inside and eat lunch, lol!
Even though we have been visiting a lot, it has still been nice to sit back and chat with friends. My neighbor came by this morning and we chatted for about an hour until her baby woke up (he's the one I watch during the week sometimes)
