Andrew

Andrew's got a new dance and a couple of good poses

So Andrew learned a new dance at daycare, apparently all his friends are doing it. I haven't figured out if we should be concerned but the boy sure can move for being 7.

Auntie Kris, we taped this just for you I think you will be amused.

Have no fear Underdog is here

One of Andrew's extra presents from us was the movie Underdog, We all curled into bed on Wednesday and watched it together, one of our famous movie nights. I recently got popcorn holders for our popcorn that resemble what you get at the movies. We even had our own underdog in the bed watching the movie with us.

Santa came To Sauterne Ct

So Andrew must have been a very good little boy this year, because Santa brought him two presents to the house. He opened them and they were exactly what he had asked for ( I guess it does help when you put the model numbers in your letter to Santa). Also Ryan and I forgot to give him the big present we had bought him so we gave it to him as well with a couple of other items.

CHRISTMAS WITH RYANS FAMILY

We had our Christmas with Ryan's family on 12 15-07. It was lots of fun and Andrew got lots of stuff, we actually made the decision tonight in the playroom of what toys we will be giving to the less fortunate and what we are going to keep. Hope you enjoy the pictures

Andrew's Christmas Program

It has been a while since i done this, but on December 12 Patty, John, and I drove to Columbus and met Ryan to go to Andrew's winter musical. I think we all expected to go up there and watch the same elementary program that you always see, but to our surprise we had a wonderful treat. Andrews music teacher put a lot of work into the program and it was very cute. Andrew looked so cute all dressed up. I am so glad that we went to watch it.

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree

Andrew was in this weekend as well as Ryan's Mom and Dad are in visiting , we love seeing mama & papa sox's. We woke up on Saturday and did some stuff around the house and I ran my errands (not a good week for weight watchers)In the afternoon we went to Station hill Farm and picked out our Christmas Tree, which I think is one of the prettiest live trees I have ever seen, this year we opted for a short bristle tree. We went home and decorated the tree and it was a lot of fun, it seems like Andrew is really getting into the Christmas spirit this year. I kept catching him singing carols. After the tree was decorated we played a couple of games of Bingo with Andrews new game that he got from the advent calendar. Later that evening mama sox's, Andrew and I decorated Gingerbread cookies. Andrew had lots of fun but I don't know if that was because he liked eating the icing. Sunday was a lazy day for all of us because it was raining and then we had to take Andrew home. So in the end we had a productive weekend, all the inside Christmas decorations are done, the Christmas cards are 90% done, and hopefully sometime this weekend we can work on the outside of the house. My goal this year is to enjoy the Christmas season and lay on the couch and watch all the good Hallmark Holiday movies.

UPDATE

So i haven't updated this in a while so I thought i would put a quick little note. We had a good thanksgiving, I made my first ever turkey and it turned out extremely well. My dad even said it was the best turkey he ever had. Yes I did take pictures of it because it was my 1st. I have to give a shout out to my friend Teresa, who gave me some pointers on how to cook my turkey.

Ryan had his laser eye surgery done on the Friday after thanksgiving and can now see. I was trying to be all nice and be a good girlfriend and decided to go and rent him a movie for the weekend since i knew we would be staying around the house. Well needless to say, I got a movie that had subtitles that he would have to read. His eyes are good and he can see now without glasses or contacts.

We have Andrew this weekend and are planning on putting up our outside lights and getting our Christmas tree while he is in, so i am sure that we will have some fun little stories to tell.

Game weekend

So Andrew was in this weekend and here lately it seems as thought Ryan, myself and Andrew have been spending a lot of time together doing family style stuff, this weekend was card game weekend. Saturday we played a couple of games of Uno and we finally all decided that it was time for a new game, so I remembered that I had bought a card game of Deal or No Deal. We decided to play it and Andrew was the first contestant on Deal or No Deal and long story short he picked the Million Dollar Case, not only once but he did it again the next day while I was away scrap booking. I told him if he saw the winning lottery numbers to let us know. After a day of playing cards, we went and got milkshakes and came home and all climbed into bed and watched Evan Almighty ( which was very good) all in all It was another fun weekend of downtime.

1st Tastefully Simple Party

So I had my 1st party this Friday, My wonderful friend Rachel held it for me and it was huge success. The sales were great and I got three bookings 2 of which our outside my existing circle of friends. I have some pictures to post but don't have them on the computer yet.

PLAYING WITH THE MAC

Andrew and I had some fun playing with the built in camera today on the new computer, you can do all sorts of stuff and make you look all funny, We were laughing really hard.

I got an Apple

So I got an apple computer tonight, so far I am really liking it, it will take some getting used to but I am happy that I don't have to beg to use the other computer because it is all mine.

TRICK OR TREAT THE PIRATE HAS NO FEET!!

So we got to dress up this year for halloween at work. I decided to be Queen of the Broomstick. There were only 4 of us that dressed up at work, but it was fun. Also Andrew wanted to decorate outside this year, so we have have a new friend in our yard.

Andrews Birthday

Andrews Birthday was October 5,th but since I just started this I thought I would post some pictures of it.

We just had family and some close family friends of Ryan's family and my family over and had a party. Ryan's mom and dad were in, so it was really nice to have them there.

Andrew had a lot of fun and couldn't believe how many people were there. If I do say so myself, he had the coolest birthday cake ever that was designed by mama socks, daddy and Paula.

Kalebs football team is Super Bowl Bound

So this Sunday night Kaleb's footbal team play in their playoff game and won. The score was 26-6. The game was at 6:00 at the Blanchester High School so they got to play under the lights. This win now makes them 10-0.They will be playing this Saturday in the Super Bowl at 3:15 pm.

At first we did not want him to play, but now we have all come to enjoy watching him and I really hope that him and his teammates continue playing together through the upcomming years because they seem to know how to work as a team.

By the way for those of you who don't know Kaleb is my 13 year old nephew who is a huge part of my life.

Keep your fingers crossed that they win!!

This weekend

So Andrew was in town this weekend and we all had some good quality time together.

Friday- I got home from the party and the boys were playing on the computer, I went in to watch a movie and when I came back in to see how they were doing on their game, I found Andrew curled up on his dad's lap in the computer chair sleeping. It was so cute.

Saturday- We got up early and went to Jake's birthday party, the kids had a lot of fun and Andrew got over 300 tickets to buy stuff. When we got home that day,I baked some brownies for my nephews football team because they were going to be in the playoffs on Sunday, as I was baking Andrew came down and said it sure did smell good and asked why we never have cookies in the house, so after I was done with the brownies, I made Andrew some Homemade chocolate chip cookies. That night we decided that we were going to have movie night so Andrew made us some popcorn (all by himself, with some explanation from me) and we made some homemade ice cream and all snuggled in for Spiderman 3.

Sunday- we woke up and lounged around the house and then we had to go and take Andrew back.

By the way for the record, I just have to say that Andrew has decided that when he is in that between Ryan,Nugget(his dog) and me that each one of us will get a day of lovin' meaning that he will give us hugs and kisses on our assigned days. So he assigned Ryan Friday, Me on Saturday and Nugget on Sunday. I am so excited that I get the longest day and Ryan was upset that he only got Friday night so he now gets Saturday morning as well.

I found a New Hobby!!

I attended a Tastefully Simple party on Friday night. I had lots of fun and have now decided that I am going to become a consultant and sell it on the side. I am looking at as a way to get out of the house a couple of nights a week instead of sitting around on the couch and make some extra money at the same time. And who doesn't like going to a party designed around eating.

Wish me luck!!

I decided to start blogging

So here I am, I have started a blog. Ryan's sister has one for her family and I enjoy looking at it to see how the kids are doing and what they have been up to, so I am following Kristen's lead so that our friends and family can see how we are doing and what we are up to. I hope that I can keep up with as good as Kristen does.
