A Trip...

I was looking through the photos on the House of Aaron website and they were cracking me up, so I had to post some. Some of the people I know, some I don't. I may guess and you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong.

1. I'm pretty sure that's dad in the center, James is on the left, and Joanne is behind him.

2. Grandpa Bob

3. Greg, Dad, Kathy Hill

4. Alan Hayward, Dad, Hans Jorgensen

5. Dad, I don't know, and I see Grandma there in the back

6. Greg holding Josh and Chad

7. Grandpa Bob

8. Ben and Travis

9. Bonnie

10. David is SO little!

11. David and myself

12. LOL! Love this picture. (Dad's family)

13. Larue (I don't remember her being so tall!), Grandpa Bob and Grandma Aileen.

For the rest of the pictures go here.

Ella's 6 month photos

Ella is 6 months old now! This post is a little delayed since she turned 6 months on Dec 23rd.

She's still my happy girl working on her 3rd tooth, sitting up, and VERY noisy.

Ella recently discovered her voice and really likes all the different sounds she can make. :o) It makes going to church, or any meeting, interesting.

It's pretty funny now that her and Aidan interact with each other. They both usually end up in bed with me, in the morning, for a few minutes just laying around before we start the day

 Ella likes to steal Aidan's "sappy" or just play with his face in general and he'll say "Ella, that's not yours, that's mine." He's usually still pretty good with her, giving her kisses and thinking that he's a nice big brother.

The rest of the photos were taken by Sharon with my camera.

Vacation is over

Well, we're back home and re-acclimating to our house. Mom and dads house averages about 75-78 degrees with the wood stove going (Not complaining!). Our house hits its top heat at about 72...but at the moment its a cool 66 degrees so I'm all bundled up on the couch watching Sesame Street with Aidan.

I'm posting a few pictures of the brunch we had on news year day.

I don't do new years resolutions, so I wont be posting any of those. ;o)

After the brunch some of kids (and adults) played football.

Aidan wanted to play too.

It was cracking me up watching these guys play

Breanna is probably going to want to hurt me for posting these pictures.

Someday, Aidan, someday....

New Years Eve Bash

Pictures of how we brought in the new year (the few brave souls that ventured out)

We partied hard with board games and good food

and then Kenneth broke out the sparkling cider

Then we went outside and waited for the countdown and fireworks

and the partying continued

but I have two little kids and what little sleep I get is precious

so I went home and went to bed

Happy New Year!
