Dates, Boo Boos & New Years! :)

We will start ya off with some Mommy and Daddy dates with the kiddos... We decided since Nate has that "special time" with Noah doing the deer lease thing... we would try to make sure he got special time with Emmie as well and I got special time with Noah! Oh what fun! Our first "date" adventure was the movies... Emmie wanted to see "Tangled" and Noah wanted "Chronicles of Narnia"... They both were just awesome!!! So cool to have that one on one time with them! :) Then.... some pics of Noah's split wide open chin.... He was doing some dance moves on our hardwood floor and let's just say his feet came right out from under him and BAM! It was wide open! We immediately thought ER but ended up doing butterfly stitches at home and liquid new skin stuff.... healing good so far. Last but not least... some fun New Year's pics of friends and us! Fun Times!! Always fun to celebrate New Years at 10:30 p.m. with your kids b/c they have no idea! :) Had some fireworks... some confetti... some dancin and a great time! Until next time.... if you remember the song I have on here now... WOW! An oldie from the 80's I think... rock band... I remember it from when I was a kid...but somehow the words struck me so differently now that I am a mom... and have kids... Wow.. I feel old! :) Ha! About to go see Tangled
Sooo excited!

I LOVE THIS!

Here is a little glimpse of Noah and Nathan's little hunting trip to the deer lease... Noah has been wanting for Nate to get a deer with him so he could see the whole process. This was over his break from school...and I think this is his FAVORITE thing in the whole world... better than anything else!!! Going to the deer lease!!!!!!!! :) How cool though for your Daddy to be your biggest role model...the one you want to be just like? Several have already said that he is just like Nathan was... :) Well, if that is the case... I know he is going to turn out super close to perfect... well.... on a good day! :) Ha! Hope everyone is staying warm is this frigid weather! Whew! Love and Deer Meat! Don't mess with this Hunter!!
This could be your result?

Black & White Memories

Happy New Year Everyone! Hope all is well in 2011 for you! We have just gotten back on a schedule..in school... tired as mud... (just mama and daddy) Ha... and everyone is healthy and happy! It always feels like I am having the time of my life around here.... I feel so blessed! Mainly b/c of the people I get to spend each and every day with and I owe it all to them and our wonderul Lord and Savior!

Here are some photos of our family that my wonderful friend Shara took! Thank you doll!!! It took all of 30 minutes to capture some precious photos of my little loves and my main man & me. :) I love black and white photos! The running trail that I run on is right beside these tracks with trees separating the two. It is a beautiful place. Didn't know how it would turn out with 3 adventurous kiddos...but we managed to get some good ones. :) Mucho LOVE! :) Happy New Year! LOVE.... The Orange's
