Choo choo....

Tonight we went to the Schnepf farms for there christmas lights and to ride the train! Which is all Riley talks about from the time he wakes up in the morning till the bewitching hour.

It was so cold! Poor kiddo's little nose was red and i tried to teach him to put his hands in his shirt, but I dont think he got it.

Ok, you know how when you take a pic of christmas lights you cant get the full effect of the lights unless you turn your flash off, but when I do that and we are moving on a (slow rolling) train this is what they look like, And I am assuming this is what the world would look like on drugs :)

Here is me and mike, I was frozen and numb and he was only wearing a t-shirt!

There is the train depot, which is where people would think one would catch the train! well we walked all the way over to it, and waited for about 15 mins,,

turns out the place to get on thr train was all the way back at the entrance :P DUH! well we needed the exercise anyways.

Christmas Wreaths!

Ok I learned to make somethin new this year! I was really excited when my friend Trina at work make these wreaths last year, like rice crispy treats but better! I ate allot of them.. allot :) So this year she brought in her portable stove to work and let me make them! So I know I was suppose to be protecting, and serving or whatever, but this was much more fun!

They should really let us have an oven at work, I would learn so much! & the officers would always have home cooked meals with the girls I work with and there love for cooking! :)

& tomorrow I am going to finish my ornaments I am making, I think they are cute!.. I dont know if anyone will like them, but I am working hard on them so they better! :)

Madyson Grace Frazier

Since Heather doesnt have internet right now I thought I would post some pics of her beautiful new daughter Mady, She is so cute! & tiny I forgot how little they are when they come out! I am glad she was awake when I got there since I didnt have much time to visit! I know that in a few weeks heather will be back on here posting away!


I know that her family is enjoying every minute of her being here! & She says the boys are just in love with her.

Toddler vs. Santa

Well,,, we took riley to see Santa this year..
the first year we took him, he was awesome! I wish I could find that picture. He sat right on his lap and smiled soo big! the 2nd year.. well that didnt work either! We had to sit next to santa with riley and I think he was still crying.. This year, Oh my! Thank goodness I didnt pay the $20 for the picture they took, here is the Riley before picture :) He looks so sweet right?

& Here is our version Chrismtas #3 :p Look at my face, I am trying to smile and hold on to my screaming toddler so he wont slide away! Poor santa


I read in a Parents magazine that when your child hits 2 1/2 head for shelter! & I know what they were talking about now. I sure hope this phase ends soon, I am not used to him being so defiant and grouchy! He is not usually a child who throws fits, and never in stores before this last few weeks! I know every parent goes threw some sort of stage, & I just hope I live threw it, and I hope he does too :)

For the Cure!

A few months ago I started collecting Pink lids from Yoplait! Every lid you send in they will give $.10 to finding the cure for breast cancer! I love companies that give to charitable funds and that get the community excited and involed in what they do! I asked the girls & guys @ work to save them for me & I was surprised at how well they did! I only contributed 5! but they did great!
I am sending them off for the first time this year, and Next year I would love to start a community project for collecting them! Even a little goes along way if everyone helps out!

A Home for Christmas!

I have been waiting along time to be able to put lights on our house for Christmas! I am so excited that this year we can finally do that!! My father in law came over and put up the lights for me! They look awesome! Riley had a blast playing in the front yard watching the kids on bikes go up and down the street and watching us struggle with the strands of lights!


I have always wanted a red door!! Since as long as I could remember. and my last place the only thing I like was that it had a red door! well,. 2 days before we moved in they painted it another crappy color :P and stated that it was the park rules!.. Now I have an HOA.. someday when I am feeling LUCKY, I might attempt to paint this one to see if the HOA has a problem with it.. :) But for now I can paper it for the holidays!

It's nearly here! Christmas!

So.. We did our Christmas Tree today..
I went Christmas shopping on Black Friday because its a tradition now !
Emily and I fought the crowds at Walmart @ 3:30 in the morning!! It was great! Riley tagged along and he was such a trooper! About 15 ins before the registers opened Riley said "Mommy's House, Lets go" but he did great! & I saved almost $100! Price matching is fantastic :)
I have a picture from that morning of Riley smiling @ 3am.. getting into the car.. but I am in it to.. and its not pretty! :P

While I was shopping They have tons and tons of Christmas trees for great prices, but I kept thinking.. Naw.. I have my little charlie brown tree.. I'll wait till after christmas and get one 1/2 off.. well.. as soon as I got home and went back to sleep I remembered I threw that stupid thing away!! Crap! So I had to go get one today. Target had them on sale but I still spent allot of money! But I think it was worth it, Its so nice and it has little pinecones and berries on it :)


I still have allot more decorating to do! The dollar store is great! and hopefully I can make our first Christmas at our new house perfect! :)
