ToDaY I dOn'T fEel LiKe dOiNg AnYtHiNg...

I just wanna lay in my bed.

Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone...

Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything!

I'll be lounging on the couch just chillin' in my Snuggy. 

Click to MTV so they can teach me how to Douggy. 

Yes I said it.  I said it. I said it cause I CAN! 

No I ain't gonna comb my hair cause I ain't going anywhere.

No no no no no noooooooo! 

I'll just strut in my birthday suit and let everything hang loose!

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeaaahhhhhh!!

OOOHhhh today I swear I'm not doing ANYthing.  

Nothing at all.  

Well ... just trying to get two little guys back to feeling 100%.  Both have a bad cold and cough.  Plus, poor Coop has an ear infecion.  I've really enjoyed being home with my little guys today- even if they weren't feeling the best!   

Happy New Year!

We had a great time celebrating our 4th anniversary and ringing in the new year with Chris & Steph. 

We went to dinner at Sullivan's Steakhouse and then headed back to our place to hang out til countdown time.  The kiddos got to stay the night & celebrate with their grandparents.  I think they had fun too :)  ...

ChRiStMaS!

Finally getting around to posting our Christmas pictures! 

LOTS of fun this year with two little guys to spoil!  It was priceless to see Cooper's face light up when he came downstairs and saw his Polar Express train wrapped with a big red bow!   

 Having fun putting on a puppet show in his new puppet theater that Mimi & Poppy made!

Christmas Eve



 Making our pizza!

Our bedtime stories... 

 Busted, Chubby Bubby!  Put the cookies down - those are for SANTA!

Christmas in South Bend

It was great to see our family in South Bend and get to spend a little time with my cousins who were all home from college...

Cooper has been begging for a puppy and was so excited when Great Grandma & Grandpa Marsh gave him this toy puppy that walks, wags his tail, pants, and barks.  :)  Right away he named him "Spotsy." 

Hanging with Adam who was home from Texas.

&Lauren who was home from ISU.

 & Whitney who was home from NY!

 (Side note: It got a little warm in the house and Mason gets really crabby when he's hot ... so we just stripped him down to his diaper, and he was a much happier camper.) 

& Alex who was home from Rome!!   

Aunt Pam snuggling with Mase before he goes to sleep. 

Jingle Rails

Poppy & Mimi were able to sneak away from work for the day to visit the "Jingle Rails" Train Exhibit at the State Museum with us.

I thought this was pretty cool - they made a model of downtown...

 even Lucas Oil!

 Can't go wrong with trains in Cooper's book.  Mason was pretty fascinated too!

Afterwards Mimi & Poppy treated us to lunch at PF Changs followed by a movie - Chipwrecked.  Such a fun day!  Check out the chopsticks...  

Mase was happy with his cereal puffs :)

Going to bed now... hope to get this blog caught up by this weekend! :)  I'm determined to keep it updated even though I'm officially back to work and E-X-H-A-U-S-T-E-D!  Right now we are keeping our fingers crossed and doing the "snow dance" in hopes of a 2 hour delay tomorrow.

Stay tuned!

More pictures are 

  I had to take a break and get back to my school work ... hope to find some time this week to blog about our Christmas!  I have a lot of catching up to do.  :)  Have a great week!!   

Christmas in Winamac

Each year we go to Grandma Loree & Pop Pop's house to celebrate Christmas with Daddy's side of the family.  I just love this cousins picture:  

Emma ~ Mason ~ Grant ~ Cooper

And of course we had to get one with the dog.  No worries, Pepper also had a HoHo hat with a matching HoHo coat.

Not for long... he made his escape!

 Cooper introduced Mason to Grandma's singing and dancing Santa & Mrs. Clause.  

Now a jammies photo op... Can you tell Cooper has just about had it up to his eyeballs with Mommy and all her picture taking?  Heehee, sorry buddy!

Mason's having a ball with this new toy!

Somebody is pumped about his new construction set!

Aww:) Cuddled up in Grant's new sleeping bag after all the present opening.
