Turkey Day Quietness

So this year was the first year since RC and I have been TOGETHER that we have not had one shred of family nor one friend in town, stop by or anything. It was good and bad all at the same time. We made tons of food, had some plans that fell through but all in all we had a relaxing day. We woke up at a decent time, cooked our turkey, made some pies, hung some christmas lights and watched about 5 movies! Yep. MOVIES. That was the excitement of our day :) The funniest part of the day was when we went to go hang the start of our christmas lights. Hanging them on the garage and on a front window was fine and easy but over the door way and such was quite high. We do not have a ladder and what did we use you ask. Well, we went totally GHETTO fab and had RC standing on our garbage can. Haha. Sorry no pics but it was pretty fun none the less :)

Movies Included:
*Hannah Montana the MOVIE...OHHHH...AHHHH...yep that was on while we cooked :)
*A Christmas Clause...cheesy lifetime/ABC Family type movie, but cute none the less
*Four Christmases...funny but not GREAT...nuff said!
*Funny People...good movie, Adam Sandler NOT in a goofy role always pleases me
*The Goods...Silly movie about car salesman, funny, good laughs

Well here are just a few pics from our day but again, it was pretty laid back so even I took a rest from the camera. IN FACT, the fam was better about ASKING me to take pics than I was at actually taking them. SHOCK. I know!

Grandparents. Yay.

So my mom and dad came down to celebrate my little brothers graduation from MMI (motorcycle school) and we got some cute pics. Not much to report on, the kids were spoiled, we went to dinner and they mostly just hung out and handled getting some last minute stuff settled for my little brothers move in December. Yep, he is leaving AZ and that will make it so YET AGAIN we have NO family out here in Sunny AZ. Sad but I guess it happens. Maybe one day someone will "stick" and we will have folks to celebrate the holidays with :)

Well here are the pics, folks in the pics vary from Grandma Debbie, Great Grandma Pat, Uncle Alex, Alex's GF Brenna and of course Grandpa Pete, and our kids :) YES I know Rian is wearing the SAME shirt in these pics as the SIDE pics on my blog but HEY he looks SOO handsome I couldn't help it! Haha. We also took professional pics but I am trying to figure out how to scan them because currently my printer isn't hooked up so bare with me.

Enjoy!

Trouble #3...

So I thought the girls were gonna be trouble with all the talk of boyfriends and gossip but these two pics make me realize that Rian himself a handful as well, only he hides it with "baby cuteness"...

Already a textaholic:

Already has no fear (standing on a chair and drinking a bottle...skills!):

True Story

Carina: Mom, so Teddy asked me out.

(I roll my eyes, since when do 4th graders have boyfriends...oh man...)

Mom: Oh yeah and what did you say?
Carina: I said I woudl think about it, and then I talked to Emma and she said "only go out with him if you really like him or else thats not cool to have a boyfriend you don't really like"

(Very insightful of her friend, must be why they moved her up a grade...yep, insightful 5th grader, which I actually ADORE)

Mom: So what did you decide?
Carina: Well I don't know if I really LIKE HIM LIKE HIM, so I am going to think about it.

(Phew, she might be boy smart after all)

TWO DAYS LATER

Neya: Mom, Carina has a BOYYYYFRRRIIEEENNNDDDD!!!

(Carina blushes)

Mom: Oh yeah, I thought you didn't like him?

(hopes she makes her little girl break up with "said boyfriend"

Carina: Well, I realized I do

(and this is where it gets funny)

Carina: So mom, we were walking and all our friends kept singing this dumb k-i-s-s-i-n-g songs and we were hanging out and...

(Neya cuts in)

Neya: Uh Mom
Carina: Neya, hold on! So, they were all singing this song and we told them to stop and then my friend, like, asking him if he like, LIKED me, and he said, she's my girlfriend, and then he said, i like her more than my scooter (or something silly, by now I am just totally not wanting to hear how my daughter has been sucked into a relationship...AT TEN!!!) and then we, like, went to walk away and we looked at eachother and we said..."what now" and I was like, I dunno, and he was like, I dunno, and then we hugged and Yep, he's my boyfriend

Neya; CAN I TELL YOU NOW...
(Carina rolls her eyes because neya always tries to steal her thunder)

Mom: Sure tell me Ney
(she grins wickedly)
Neya: I have TWO boyfriends

And this is where it's not so funny. LOL. Apparently I have my hands full already and they aren't even in their teens.

Wish us luck.

Boo!

3 kids later we have learned that long trick or treating trips are not so much the ideal thing to do...meaning...after about 30 minutes, one kid is always complaining, one kid is sleeping and one kid is ready to KEEP ON GOING. SOO, instead we decided to trick or treat for 45 (no kids feel asleep and they all knew what was next) then we headed over to the sports complex to play on some bounce houses, get even MORE candy and check out some hot air balloons. This year wasn't as busy as it normally is, but at least we got to hang out. We also tried to take Carina to a haunted house as we missed out on Fear Farm this year, but as soon as we got there, she realized she isn't quite ready for the SCARINESS. Haha. So we freaked Neya out, NO REALLY, the guy in the pic with Rian, he walked up to the car and tapped his little cleaver looking thing on the window and Neya shrieked at the top of her lungs. We laughed. I know. Horrible parents but we knew it was harmless. IN fact, I think the only one who ended up with nightmares was Rian, and why you ask, well because after all the trick or treating and bounce houses and the sleepiness we hoped was in our future, he was up at 445 shrieking. Hrm. I am thinking he got scared and had some nightmares. Well, guess we won't freak him out next year...or will we! Hehe. Just kidding, now check out a few of our pics! Enjoy.
