Going back to Black Friday…

I just have to post these pictures now that Christmas is over and I won’t be spoiling any ones presents!

So I have to say that I don’t mind braving the crowds and getting some good deals. I am almost addicted to it. There is nothing like getting a killer deal on stuff. Carrie and Elizabeth joined me in the fun. We first went to Toy’s R Us. NEVER again will I do that! I really mean NEVER! The crowd was terrible. You couldn’t even get down the isle. That is when I say that there is nothing worth that crowd. I was bummed though. I really wanted to get the boys a skateboard ramp. But oh well. It didn’t happen. So needless to say we had a lot of time to kill.

We went to 7-Eleven and got some chips and a Slurpee. Oh was it good. It kept us up for sure. Then we just sat in Sears parking lot so we could be the first ones to get the $20 down comforters. And I can say WE DID IT! I am very excited that I was able to get a killer deal. There also was hardly any people there too. It was so nice. This is what my car looked like when we all tried getting our stuff in!

We still have some stuff in the cart to squeeze in!

Oh wait we have MORE in another cart too!! I wasn’t sure how we were going to fit it all in.

Oh did we use EVERY inch of space:)

Carrie even had to sqeeze in. Poor Elizabeth in the back. She would be protected if we got in a accident though:p

We had to then drive home, park the truck and get into Carrie’s truck to then go back out for Kohl’s. All that Randy wanted this year was clothes. He hasn’t bought new shirts in a long time. So we then headed back out. Kohl’s was awesome. When we got there there was long lines to check out, but when we were ready to check out we walked right up to the register. It was fun. We then headed to get something to eat for breakfast and then home to sleep.

I am very grateful that my sweet hubby supports me with this addiction I have. This addiction doesn’t just happen on black Friday, it happens all year long. I am always trying to find the best deals on stuff. Needless to say we are all happy with our new comforters. We are staying warm now!

Going back in time…

I just have to post this event. We went roller skating with some friends of ours. I wanted to make it a theme night, so I asked everyone to dress in the 80’s attire:) Oh boy was it fun. My friends daughter, Jessie, did my hair and make-up. She did great! We sure got a lot of looks, but also a lot of complements. Some cute girls asked to take our picture. They thought we looked awesome. I was recognized by a girl that is in Ricky’s class at school. I felt bad, but she thought I looked really cool so it was ok. Thank goodness. All I need to do is ruin Ricky’s rep at school:)

I have to say too that I CANNOT skate. I really thought that I could, but oh man was I bad. It was quit funny watching me I’m sure. Randy held me up most of the time. Then Emily took me to the practice rink and helped me out. She also had me trade for some roller blades. They were a little easier. I so need to practice. I would love to go skating a little more often.

All in all it was a lot of fun. Thanks ladies!!!

Snow day with Friends….

So here in Texas we had another day of snow. It is totally crazy, but we are loving it!

The kids had their friends over while it snowed. They couldn’t stand staying inside, but I didn’t want to clean up 6 six that are wet. So being the mean mom I said no. Than when their dad came I let them go out….that way they went to their house wet!! Sorry Andrea:) I don’t think they got too wet though. We really don’ t have snow gear and the boys didn’t even bother putting on coats or gloves either. They had fun though! Some of the pics are blurry, but hey you get the picture!

Caden totally killing Ricky. It was fun to watch. Ricky later on got him back, but I didn’t take any pictures.

Michael and Brennan builing a tall tower of legos, and then knocking them all down. Oh what fun they had.

Caden with a HUGE snow ball!

Yep, he threw it at his little brother Brennan.

Ricky’s turn with a HUGE snow ball.

Ricky and Michael getting ready to throw at each other. I made them stop so I could get at least one pick:p

Michael officially quits. His hands are frozen. And he is cold too, especially withouth his coat.

I think Brennan is ready to get his brother back:)

One last cute video you just have to see. Cameron had Payton over to play as well. I couldn’t help but take a video of this. I tried to do without them seeing me, but then they did so I gave up. They still performed for me though!

Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was fabulous. Again we kept it very simple. Christmas Eve we have a tradition that we open a present that night. It is always a pair of pj’s so they can wear them for Christmas. This year I made their pj’s so they already saw and wore them so we can get the Christmas picture. Last year we had another family over that had the same tradition as ours except they also open any other gift they want. I LOVED that idea. So this year we did it and we will continue to do it. The boys all picked out their gifts. Michael was sooo excited to open his. He got new sheet set!!! Just what he was looking for:p HA HA. Cameron opened the same thing too. I don’t think Cameron really understood that it could have been a toy. Then it was Ricky’s turn, he opened their Sonicare toothbrush set! Whoo-hoo! They have been asking for one all year. We have been holding out to give it to them for Christmas. So needless to say they were very excited, but I kow they were hoping to pick the toy gift. They still were very sweet about it and loved their gifts and homemade pj’s.

Christmas morning was great! I got to sleep in until 7:30am! I was so surprised when I woke up and looked at the time. Randy and the boys were all waiting upstairs. We then started Christmas. Randy had to put on some Christmas music to set the mood. The boys all came down together. They were very patient with Cameron and came down at his speed. It was the sweetest thing. I don’t ever remember waiting for my sister’s to see what Santa brought. Man it was a race to get there first! Anyways, they were very surprised. They loved the blankets and then they saw the lego sets. Michael spotted it first and then looked over at Ricky’s stack and saw that his was bigger and tried switching them. It was hilarious! Of course we wouldn’t let him do that. He was upset for a little bit, but soon got over it. We just had to explain that Santa knows that he has more legos than Ricky does. It was pretty funny though I have to say.

Cameron sitting on the swing while pretending it is a horse. It was pretty cute.

Hudson looking on to the crazy event going on. This was our first year with him. I think he was happy:)

Santa brought him a few gifts too.

Cameron’s BIG Toy Story blanket. It is soooo nice too. I love it.

Ricky already reading his Diary of Wimpy Kid Dog Days. He had been wanting this since October when it came out. Of course we held out to get it for him so that Santa can bring it!!!

Cameron’s ready to help dad out in the yard this spring!!

The boys love the little remote control cars that Santa brought them.

Hudson already pooped out on us:)

Michael getting a BIG lego set from Grandpa and Grammy. He LOVED it!

Ricky got a BIG lego set from Grandpa and Grammy too!!!

Cameron got a Lepa Frog tag junior. It helps read the story books for him. That was from Grandpa and Grammy. The little apple in the corner picture is from his Abuela and Abuelo (Randy’s parents). Man did he love it! It is going to help with his speech.

Seriouly Hudson just couldn’t last. He went in his bed with his new gift from Santa. I couldn’t help but snap this sweet picture. He really is a sweet dog. I am so glad we have him.

Randy need shirts this year, so that is what most of his gifts were. He was very happy with it too. He is such a sweet, caring, and loving husband. I received a Cricut expression!!! I can’t wait to use this one. Now what to do with my little one? Randy also surprised me with a weekend at the four seasons resort here in Texas. I haven’t ever been to one so I am so excited to go. Randy also got me some really nice brown boots. The boys and Randy also got me some nice jewerly sets.
I can go on and on about what we all received, but that would be very boring. My boys really enjoyed Christmas. I really enjoyed being able to help out with Christmas with my Sisters too. This year Randy and I decided to give. It felt so good too:) The boys watched and hopefully felt the Christmas Spirit. All in all Christmas 2009 was a success.
