One True Media

This is seriously the BEST site ever. I love it, and I find myself spending a lot of time on it. If you looove pictures like me, you will see why. You can make slideshows to music, and then order them onto dvd. I made one for my dad last Fathers Day. It turned out okay. He loved it. Tons of fun! I am working on one for each of my kids, and I did make one for Dave too. Here is the one I made for my dad...
Warning: there are some seriously scary pictures of me on here!

Rockettes



Every year my dad's family goes out to do something fun, like watch a play, or like this year we went to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes. It was so much fun. We all met for dinner before, and then went to the show at the Dodge Theater. I really enjoyed being around everyone. If anyone is thinking about going to that show, GO! It is awesome. It left me wanting a pair of those legs! Wow.

Here is everyone after the show.

Happy Birthday "Nattie Noo"

Natalie is part turkey. This I know because she robbed us of Thanksgiving 2 years ago when she was born. This year, of course was Thanksgiving at my house, so I was super busy, so we didnt really have a real party for her. We just all knew it happened to be her birthday, and got her some presents to open. Dave and I got her her very own kitchen,

some dress-up clothes, and a princess cell phone. She got some princess dress up shoes from her aunt that she click clacks around the house in, and seeing how beautiful she looks in them, Colin has to wear them around too. Oh help me.
I should take pictures...I really should.
She also got this ADORABLE black Guess vest with fur around the hood from her Grandma Sam, and ballerina pj's too. From her Aunt Roxanne she got a little petshop set up thing, that she pretends to groom her little toy dogs in, it is hilarious how serious she is about it. She got some books from her Nan, she loves to read like her momma, and just a ton of really cute toys from everyone else. She made out good. I think with her being only 2, she isnt caring about having a full blown birthday party right now. I know she will care later, so that is fine, but for now, she just had her presents to open, and she was a happy clam. I am sure next year she will be more opinionated about it!
Here is a picture of her and her daddy when she was brand new.

We are Thankful

Thanksgiving turned out perfect. I volunteered to have dinner at my house. I cooked the Turkey (no it didnt blow up!)Stuffing, gravy and a cranberry concoction. I had everyone else bring the other food. Which all of it was wonderful! The guys played football in the street and the girls stayed in and played games. I ended up having 32people there. Everything was disaster-free, so I am happy. Of course I took pictures on MY camera, and silly me, cant do anything with them because we are using Daves laptop. Had I used his, the right program in on here to upload them onto here, but I wasnt really thinking at the time. So I will have to get them printed off, and scanned all all that fun stuff.

It can happen in your own driveway!

Tonight Dave and the boys thought it would be a good idea to start on the Christmas lights out front. So I was inside telling Colin that he needs to quit going in and out the front door and to just go out there and help his dad. Just as he walked out the front door, and heard a huge crash. I ran out the door to see a car in my yard and driveway smashed into MY NEW VAN!!! Dave said he saw her coming around the corner going pretty fast and lost control. She came up into our yard and took out the black garbage can and hit the van that slid across the driveway and hit the basketball hoop that hit the wall. Then, the passenger got out and YELLED at Dave! Like we did something! Dave is pretty hot tempered, but he did well containing himself.
The lucky part...Jakob was standing ON the base of the basketball hoop when he saw her and he jumped out of the way before he got hit. Dave grabbed Isaak who was leaning next to the van by the hood of his jacket just in enough time that the van hit Dave in the leg. Colin could have been out there on his scooter in the driveway like he was doing just 2 minutes before. I cant even think about that. Dave is pretty mad. The people turned out to be most likely illegal aliens with no insurance and no license of course. And lucky us, they happen to live just 3 houses behind us.
The police just wrote her a ticket and let them walk home.
I am just thankful that the boys got out of the way in time. We havent had any car accidents since we've been together, and oddly enough it happened right in our own driveway. I guess that's the hazards of living on the corner! Dave did take some pictures, so after I figure it out on here I will post pics.

Just Pictures I Love!

I was just going through my photobucket pictures and thought I'd post some that I love. I like seeing how much my kids have changed, and stuff...So here are some of my favorites.


I love her innocence. She is always so busy in her little world.


How can you not laugh at Colins goofy face?


Colin was FINALLY letting me take his picture...he looks so pleased!


Tony and Isaak. He was so happy to see him after we hadnt seen him for awhile.


Colin LOVES pickles...even with chocolate!


I have about 10 of these pictures of us making silly faces...but Jakobs face in this one is the best!


This one was supposed to be a NICE one...


My daughter(part goat)chewing on my dads shoelaces.


Moving on to bigger and better things...just give her the whole shoe!


This is actually Jakob...How I found him one morning minus his diaper, and his shirt on the back reads "dont bug me". Im hanging onto this one for later pal!


Natalie's blessing day


Colin and my moms dog. Colin is a big animal lover. I'm not sure if the animals love him though!

That is it I guess.. I might add more later. Once I get my other computer hooked up, I have more on there, but for now while I am using Daves laptop, I can only pull them off of photobucket. :)
