So DISGUSTED!!

So we have put our house up for sale. Yes, I know we are crazy especially with how the market is and we just finished our basement. But the Lord definitely lets you know when you are supposed to do something. Anyways about a week ago we went through some homes. One of the homes was beautiful!! Until you got inside. We walked in and I thought I was gonna throw-up because it stunk so bad! We had to watch where we walked so we didn't step in dog crap! And yes, these people still lived in this home. There was dog poop and kitty litter everywhere!! We could not even walk down the stairs because there was so much kitty litter. It was disgusting! I am sorry but if you are trying to sell your home that is not the way to do it! Sorry if I have offended anyone but I thought it was gross!

Tis the season to be freezin'

Over the christmas break we took Addy sledding! She did not enjoy it so much. I'm not sure if it was because her dad took her down one of the biggest hills there was or if it was because I made her look like the little boy off the Christmas Story and made it impossible for her to walk! I have to say, I think she looks pretty dang cute! We did enjoy having some family time together and Addy did like being pulled around on the sled.

So for New Year's Eve we went to my sister's house and did the usual, play games and have lots of good food. A couple days later I was downloading my pictures to my computer and found these. I guess on new year's eve my brother-in-law and nephew got alittle board and this is how they entertained themselves. Gotta love 'em!

Santa came to town

We had great Christmas this year! I love this time of year. I love spending so much time with our families and friends! This year we really tried to make it simple and focus on the true meaning of Christmas and not get wrapped up in to much of the wordly things. The best gift for me this year was my wonderful family and spending time with them.

Addy ended up getting up extra early on x-mas morning, not sure why! We went down stairs and the first thing she saw was her kitchen. She was so excited she didn't want anything to do with any of the presents. But after mom and dad started opening them and she saw that there were more toys she suddenly was interested. Soon after opening the presents Addy and Daddy fell asleep on the couch, they were both pooped!

Later in the afternoon my family came over , we had tons of fun! Kayla and Addy fought over the toys the whole time. Addy got to the piont were she started hiding the toys, but Kayla learned very quickly where she hid them! It was funny to watch them.

Twas the night before Christmas...

Addy got her new x-mas pj's on xmas eve. I think she thought my new pj's were hers also. She was very excited!
