We're leaving on a jet plane............

On Monday the boys and I are jetting off for a fun filled week in Florida. Yesterday it was 19 below (actual temperature) when we woke up. Yeah, this trip can't come soon enough. But I'm a little nervous since I will be flying solo with the boys. And did I mention our flight leaves here at 5:05 AM on Monday. Dear Lord.

So I'm busy trying to pack and buy things for the boys to keep them occupied on the plane. I'm not worried about Carson since he has 2 new movies to pass the time and I think the fact that we will be on a "awe-a-pwane" will be enough amusement for him.


It's Declan that sends shivers up my spine. He's a crazy animal. And I say that with all the love in my heart, seriously. I have no idea how to keep him occupied. I'm hoping the crack-of-dawn departure time will be enough to zonk him out. Please pray for me and my crazy animal!!



Trevor has a busy week ahead of him with a to-do list 40 miles long. At the top of that list is my kitchen cabinets. Hopefully I return with doors on my cabinets.

Declan has been talking up a storm lately. I would say, in my best guess, he has 15 to 20 words he can say. Some of his newer ones are bubbles, thank you, please, book and egg. Carson never talked this early so its been alot of fun watching him try and say things. You can almost see him trying to say it in his head before it comes out his mouth.



Carson has fallen off the poop-on-the-potty bandwagon. So I've offered him the incentive of a new train if he goes on the potty. We'll see how well this goes.

I'm off for the week but will be back from Florida next week with LOTS of pictures.

It was a Merry Christmas

We are back from our world wind Christmas vacation. We made stops at both grandparents during our travels. We had a blast, ate to much and enjoyed the company of lots of family. Here are some pictures of our fun.

Before we left we rang the bell for the Salvation Army. It doesn't look like it from this picture but this was actually the warmest its ever been when we ring the bell.

Our first stop was at Grandma and Papa Lee's house. We were able to get out and do a little sledding but it was pretty cold while we were there.

Declan could have cared less about the presents. He wanted the bows!

Next up was Grandma and Papa Cameron's. On Christmas Eve we made a birthday cake for Baby Jesus.

The frosting was the best part for Carson.

Declan will eat anything sweet so he dove right in.

Setting out cookies for Santa.

It took Carson awhile to warm up to the idea of opening presents. But once he got going he loved it.
Declan was very excited to get new toys.

After all the presents were opened we went sledding.
Carson preferred pulling his brother around instead of going down the hill.
