New Year's Eve

The boys this year for new years eve went to their Aunt Katies house. They had a glow stick trampoline and they were having a blast. My pictures didn't turn out well because of the darkness. I am glad that they can hang out with their cousins and develop these friendships.

Wrestling

Another year of Barrett wrestling for Roy.

Family fun

We needed a much needed time to get out and so we went to John's incredible pizza. Jacob won this panda out of the "claw" machine. Maybe I shouldn't have taught him how to do them. We have so many stuff animals now, but he loves those games.

Jacob, Justin, Jayde, Rob and another kid riding a ride at John's.

Aunt Emily

i don't think Emily has a clue how much our boys look up to her and love to be around her. Jacob was super impressed that they dressed alike with out even planning it. It is always nice to hang out with her.

We have a saying that Justin is a mini me of PJ and Emily is a girl version of PJ so no wonder they look alike right....I love this picture. 

Mom and bob

Visiting with Bob after his knee surgery and my mom broke her ankle in two spots the week before. It was quite and interesting week that is for sure

Visiting grandparents

Bob and Mom are home so went to go pay them a visit. I love how Jacob just climbs on up and settles in on Grandpa Bob's lap. Its one of his favorite spots. He quite often stills his phone and plays games like he is doing in the picture.

Birthday fun

Getting spoiled at work.

Roy made me a mug for my birthday, he knows that i collect them so he made one in art class. I love it.

Birthday Celebration

Work, Celebrating my birthday. Silly me I put the cake on top of the tower so I could work and it melted the frosting. It was still delicious but that made me feel like a dummy.

Dancing

Jacobs 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Mastain always has a dinner with just her third grade. All of the family is invited and we enjoy dancing, potluck, and fun time getting to know just the kids and family in the class.

Class dinner

Jacobs class decided to have a potluck dinner that included dancing, singing, and getting to know everyone. We had a great time.

Mom

So my mom called and said she fell off a step stool and broke her foot. Indeed she did.

She didnt want me to take pictures but I did anyway. She will have surgery, two pins will have to be put in. Nothing like keeping us on our toes for the next few weeks.

Mom

My cell phone rang, I saw it was my mom i hit ignore because the missionaries were over. Then the home phone rings and the boys answer, it was my mom. I go to the phone and she says its an emergency, i fell off the step stool and i know i broke my foot. She said I am going to mercy san juan call your siblings. So I call the siblings grab my anatomy homework and take off for the ER. Launa(my sister that is a nurse) met me there and we hung out with them in the ER. You sure can say its broken. two spots. She will have surgery will most likely put a plate, and screws in.

Christmas cookies

Our ward does cookies with Santa for the children every christmas season. This time they got a treat and someone brought snow in and put a snowman on the lawn. They were quite excited.

They even had a chance to have someone draw on their face. My children have so much fun with all that they do it makes me happy.

PJ was asking Santa (Geoff Porter) for a better baseball players for the Yankees. Santa is a Red Socks fan. I don't know if he will grant PJ's wish.

Tammy Shower

Tammy is eight months pregnant, can you tell. She is looking great especially while playing the put the cotton balls in the bowl game. Tammy is my best friend Angela's sister. She is expecting her first, it's a girl. It was fun to see the family and visit.

Kayla, what can I say, the oldest Niece/grandbaby on the Schneider/Tietgen side. She is 18 now and all grown up. We had a lot of fun together at the shower and I am glad she could support her Aunt Tammy.

Tree

Growing up I didn't decorate the tree my mom did, so the boys decorate ours. They get really excited and involved while PJ and I just sit back and take photos. I have to let my OCD go and let them do it the way they want and not worry where there are more ornaments than other spots.
