Peter was 3 years old - a few months shy of 4 - loving his CARS characters and movie more than anything else in this world! He just started enjoying to draw . . . he used to just be in tears because his circles weren't 'round enough' or perfect enough. It was a silly, yet frustrating thing for both of us to go through - but we both survived it, and he is amazing at art work (and most importantly, ENJOYS it!!!)

Mr. James - a little over one. Walking, talking, trying to play with everything that big brother played with. This was our second year dealing with his massive droolege. . and he hasn't stopped since. He sure loves his Mommy and Daddy and Big Brother and gives big (juicy) kisses. This was his 'perfect size' - not too big to carry, but not to small to have to worry about taking his places.

Tim and I were almost into our 7th year of marriage. Six years, two kids, one dog and a home was surely a lot to take care of - but totally worth every single second of it!!!

The 'BIG' thing from this year - was my dad's deployment. 5 months - missing his birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas - his 31st Wedding Anniversary, and New's Years. Once he was home and safe and sound - we had a big party for him, with all of his Christmas/Birthday gifts and a bunch of his favorite treats! It was hard with him being gone for so long, and missing out on so many special moments, but amazing to have him back home!

Vikings Game

The Vikings last game - this year -
a sad ending but a great year!!

Our Buffet:

Our #1 Brett Favre fan!

We had Aunt Caralee and Uncle David over for the 'big game' . . . I think all we did was eat!!! We had a good time with them, though - and it was a very exciting game - overtime in fact!!! Hoping that Brett Favre comes back next year - at least for one more season!!

Tummy Bug

This was pretty much - our entire week . . .

The boys, watching cartoons while Mom cleaned.

As soon as their tummy's settled down, enough to eat something besides toast and crackers . . I made them some Oatmeal Raisin Cookies . .

They LOVED them!

At one point, Peter actually said to me . . .

"Ahhh . . just like a day in the sun!" - weirdo!

Poor Little James

Here's our Little Guy . . Mr James

He has been under the weather for about a week now. He's starting to get rotten again today - so, I'm guessing that this means he's turning a corner and getting back to his 'normal' self!!

He looks like he's praying! (super cute!)

TWO major hints that we knew James doesn't feel well:

He sits still and enjoys cuddling
He turns down food!

My Famous Friend

My friend, Erin Chase, has become quit the household name! She started a blog, a couple of years ago - to challenge herself to make a dinner meal, each night, for $5.00 or less. She came out with flying colors, and in the long hall, was asked by a publishing company to write and publish a cook book - to which she did! Here is her book-signing event at a local bookstore.
