MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It's Christmas! Here are a few teaser pics until the BIG update!!

Megan got a stroller for her babies!

And her first quad!! She knew how to get on right away!

Here we are, about the same age!

We got our Christmas tree!

We got our Christmas tree this weekend! I'm so glad we waited because it was beautiful this weekend and blustery/rainy last weekend! We bundled Megan up in her little Snow Baby outfit and set out. She couldn't move real well, can you tell but I guarantee she was warmer than me and Josh!

We went to B & K Farms in Gales Creek, $10 for a Douglas Fir!!!! Can't beat it. So we got a great tree and watched Daddy cut it down.









I've fallen and I can't get up!

Megan's First Christmas Party!

Aunt Kathy and Lesly invited Megan and me to a Christmas party at St. Vincents (where she works). They had a little magic show, all sorts of characters walking around and crafts to do. Megan doesn't know what to think of Santa except, "Get me as far away from him as possible." Yet for some reason she LOVES freaky character costumes, i.e. Chuck E. Cheese and this Rudolph!! I think she would have gone home with him if she could.


When did face painting start requiring art degrees? When I used to get mine painted it was like stick figures. Now they are all 3-D and textured. We got screwed. :)

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose...." Megan clapped and smiled along with Lesly and her friends as they sang.

Just can't stop looking at him!

"Oh Rudolph!"

Our red-nosed baby. 1 year old version of face painting.

Lesly with Rudolph

Again, Megan loving on Rudolph.

Hi Lesly!

Cute cousins!


Megan wouldn't go near Santa (we tried at the mall) so I thought Mrs. Claus woud suffice. She lived through it although she didn't really want to.

She is so going to hate the camera.....

Who could live a day without naked baby pictures? Well, she's not quite naked but she sure does love her diaper time.


Loves to cuddle anything fuzzy and soft.




Megan has learned where her head is. We're working on her nose.

She might be 24 with a blankie. Know anyone like that?? :)


I can actually see my baby pictures in this picture. I think I'm starting to see more of me in her. It's pretty cool.

While mommy left the room she found the remote!

And started talking to it. Hello?

Pretty baby!

Pampered Chef Update!

A lot of you have been asking how my Pampered Chef business is going and the answer is REALLY WELL! I've been picking up more bookings which is exciting. I really would love to quit my j-o-b before the start of a new summer there. I still need help with your word of mouth so please refer, refer, refer!! If you even hear the mentioning of Pampered Chef throw my name out there! Remember Stoneware is 20% off in January! Plus an extra 10% if you're a past host!

Thanks for all of your love and support!

Jace's Birthday Party

Danielle planned Jace's party at Myles Away Cafe in Sherwood. It was really cool, a little coffee shop for the adults and a play area for the kids. Megan had a great time exploring all of the new toys. Seems like a great business idea, wish we could do something like that out here. Oh look and there's empty retail space down the street!

Anyway, we had a really good time. Jace had a John Deere party and was a birthday cowboy! See his little boots? Cute.

This little girl spotted the birthday cake, walked all the way over to Jace and sat there like a baby bird with her mouth propped open waiting for droppings. Momma's girl.
