Happy New Year

The boys opened some packages today from Aunt Kathy and Uncle Bobby and one of the things...these adorable matching Pj's.... I love me some matching PJ's. And so do they...they had to put them on immediatly....they loved all the other goodies too...had to use the new plates to eat dinner on!

I tell ya these boys are so spoiled....on Saturday we took them out shopping for some toys with the money Aunt Joany and Uncle Lardy sent them.... lucky little boys! We are all so blessed!

Happy New Year to all..... Have a great 2008!

Thanks for stopping! Much Love to all!!

Christmas fun

Here are some shots of Christmas fun! Even one of the boys cruisin' in Evan's new ride. It is soooo cold and hurty today...pretty much a blizzard out there. But we are cozy and warm with lots of food to munch on and loads of new toys to play with so life is good here.

Thanks for stopping! Thanks for all of the Christmas cards! I love getting everyone's cards, especially not that lots of people are doing letters, pictures or both. It is a great way to hear how everyone is doing.

Love to all our family and friends! Miss all who are far away!!

Much love,

Tammi and the boys

A video of putting the star on the tree!

Last but not least...snuggled in thier bed. The boys wanted to sleep together I think that might become a tradition as well.

Is there anything in the world better then Christmas with Children??? I don't think so. Tim and I couldn't even sleep from the anticipation. Tanner came in at 3:30 to tell us that Santa had been to our house. Luckily, he went back to sleep.

More soon...

Thanks for stopping.

Much love,

Tammi and the boys

Cheyenne Christmas Parade

Here are a few pics of the Cheyenne Christmas Parade.

It was soooo cold that night!!

We have been getting lots of snow...it snowed all day Christmas, yep a white Christmas was sure on the list! It is snowing all day today as well. This is the one time of year that the snow is just magical! Easy for me to say that as I sit and type and watch Oprah while Tim is outside shoveling! :)

Anyway, I know I owe Christmas pics and videos! No worries...The big man in the red suit stopped here for sure! We had a wonderful, magical Christmas may rank up there with the best ever for me... we are so blessed in this family.

More pics when I download them off of the camera.

Much love to all,

Tammi and the boys

I took the kids to the 20th Air force Christmas party last Friday night. Tim had been gone all week on a whilwind tour of Minot and Great Falls and after the party and a dinner of cookies and the excitement of Santa I was trying to get them in bed before I went CRAZY! Then the doorbell rang and who was there but my hubby, home a day ealry and what and awesome suprise!! We were all very happy to see him... especially me :)

Can you believe I am almost caught up???? Let me check on my fellow bloggers and see if they have updated....

Much love,

Tammi and the boys!

A new Christmas Tradition?????

Well we worked on a new project this year. We made a gingerbread house. It was mostly Tim and the boys I was just the designated picture taker.... :) The house turned out cute. Tim said it was a lot of work and a bit too fragile for the boys...but who knows a new tradition may be born.

We are sooo excited for the holidays in this house.... seems like forever until Christmas morning comes...

I am going to catch up a bit while Tim and the boys play some video games!

Thanks for stopping!

Much love to all and Merry Christmas Eve eve...

Home sick!

Well yesterday we took the snow day and decided to get our flu shots. After that we got to the business of playing in the snow and shoveling. I did do some pics and videos...that I can't share until next week (sorry Sam). Anyway today Tanner is not feeling well. He has mostly muscle aches, and a fever... so we are home and he is relaxing. Evan is at school and mom is "working from home" can't ya tell??? My job is really great this time of year and whenever something is going on with the kiddos..

Okay off to "work"

Thanks for stopping even know the blog is boring lately....

Much love,
