Christmas Crazies!

Oh man! I tell you what, we had and AWESOME Christmas this year!

I decided I was going to take the anti-crazy approach to Christmas this year. I know what y'all are thinking, "yeah right!" Well guess what?

It worked!

I was totally not psychotic this year...and it was waaaay more fun!

Aaaaaaanywayz- Here are some pics from Christmas morning.

Like, that is one seriously cute 2 yr old!

K-Rock and A-Man got their Dino pillow pets-and that was ALL they wanted!
Santa would have been in BIG trouble if he forgot those!

Hmmmm-Stocking junk....

Yeah...Bo-Myster opened his first present and it was a car. After that he was done. Just sat on the stairs and played with the car. We had to open the rest of his...

Santa got C-Dawg a WII Hunting game...Grrrr!

Later on: At the Grand's...

Just FYI: Once you've achieved a certain level of cuteness, you don't ever have to follow any rules. Therefore, Bo-Myster follows no man's rules!

Is it just me, or is C-Dawg looking more and more like a teenager. He did this all day. (He got a video camera for Christmas.)

All in all this Christmas was a total success! The boys were so fun and enjoyable. I love my family soooooo much!!

(Crazy New Year Pics to come...You'll see a side of Shay you never knew existed!)

School Starting-Summer Ending!

Isn't that cute?! What sweet boys...

...oh Wait! Thaaaaat's more like it!
So obviously the boys have started school by now!

(You can almost see the bubbles over their heads saying, "Hurry and
take the #*%$ picture Mom! Everyone's looking at us!!) Aaaaaaahh! Good times!

It's K-Rocks first day of kindergarten!! Yay! (His teacher has
nooooo idea what's in store for her! Moohoohoohahahahaha!)
He was seriously so excited! But later that day he said to me, "Mom!" (use a totally disgusted voice when you read this) "Teacher said that whenever we talk we have to RAISE OUR HAND!That's stupid!" Since then he's had a few more reality checks. Like: *you can't hit someone when they are standing where you want to stand. *you cannot go to the bathroom every five minutes.
*the ABC's is not just a fun song. You have to WRITE them. * you cannot take to school the following items: rainbow Slinkys, cell phones, spider-man wallet, fake bugs/spiders, your mothers keys, or your Rob Thomas CD.

Aaah! Kess, we love you!


We have also recently had the joy of fitting in some last boating trips
before summer is gone! (sniff, sniff!)





Hi my name is Felicia and I like to smile like and idiot
when someone is taking my pic on a boat. It's been 4 days
since my last idiotic smile...


This is where A-Man and K-Rock are happiest. Gettin' dirt and
sand into every crevice that they own. (And evidently Hazel. And
let me just say it's a good thing that we got the front side of her in this pic!
...her swimming suit was getting a liiiiittle too small if you get my drift...)



Here we have C-Dawg on the knee board! He is getting sooo good at it.
He even got up on skies last week! (don't have that pic yet...sorry!)


Here I am smiling at the camera...oh wait...

...noooow I'm smiling at the camera!!



More of C-Dawg! Sorry, he's just so cute!

I'm a proud mama!


He was being so daring and having so much fun.
And finally Masta B!

Farewell, summer! You were waaaay too short! Hopefully see you

before next July next year!

Bo-Myster's Birthday Bash!

So we had Bo's birthday party this last weekend and it was a blast. (Though he won't actually be 2 until the 7th..) He is the sweetest little monkey I SWEAR!!!! I can't get enough of him! We had a water party (and we will every year because he is the only one of my FOUR children who doesn't have a winter birthday!) and it turned out to be a lot of fun, though it ended up raining on us.




Bohde had a
blast playing in all
the water!









Here
he is telling me to
go get some more
beer because he
just drank the last one.







He' such a teeny little thing!

We were hoping to get him
to 20 lbs before he turned 2,
and we still might... he's close.
















































Look how big he is!!










Of course,
Colbyn has to
show him up!










So funny! He's just chillin'.
Makin' sure everyone's havin' a
good time. Eatin' his doritos.







Hi Monkey!!









At one point Papa got attacked
by all of the kids. They soaked
him!! He wasn't taking it sitting
down though!!






He fought the good fight!
But he was out numbered...

...and he lost!


Good try Papa!!

Boy, he was soaked to the bone!

Great Grandma and

baby Wy-Wy. (...and part of Shayla,

refer to my previous post...)


...and some random kid in the

back...Hazel maybe?

Bohde's so friggin' cute that

we even had family come in

ALL the way from California

just to come to his birthday

party!!!

Yes, he is THAT cute!



Present time!!!!

After we were rained out

we all came inside for

presents.

I don't know who enjoys

this part more, Bohde or

his mommy...


Oh look! A sword! Wow, we

don't have ANY of those yet!

(Seriously though, he's been carrying

it around relentlessly!)

Look! A Dorky Monkey

Birthday Cake!!

This cake looked much

cuter before I tried to make

it!

Note to self: Just stick to

buying the friggin' cake.

However, it's ugliness

didn't stop him from

devouring it like a

crazy birthday cake eating

Monkey Feind.

Happy Birthday sweet

boy-who-was-supposed-to-

be-a-girl-but-we're-glad-he's-

a-boy-cause-he's-an-angel-and-

we-love-him-so-MUCH!!

We love you!!!!!







Later that same day....

Grrrr!

After he was all bathed and teeth

brushed and ready for bed...

..the Cake Fiend returns for

round two!

(Yes, he opened the dishwasher

to stand on in order to reach the cake.)

Naughty Crazy Birthday

Cake Eating Monkey Fiend!!!
