Pictures with Grandpa

Aren't we cute in our matching pj's on Grandpa Pat's lap. Look...it is Patton and Kenner. Many people claim that we really like Grandpa Pat. We do love you Dad, but it just so happened that Patton went along with our "General" theme for names. Good thing we didn't have a girl:)
Kenner helped Grandma Carlece make a cheesecake, while Patton got on his Gymboree best...the Owl outfit. W"hoot" is the cutest? that is right...Patton:) We almost got a smile out of Patton!




Christmas morning with the Kenner's






Grandpa recieved his personal gift from his "clean teethed" grandchild. See if you can figure out what picture was in his gift.

We got really fun toys from Aunt Becca and Aunt Annie/Uncle Jeremy. I can make lots of noise with them now. I hope that Patton grows up fast so that we can both join Mike's, Aunt Becca's boyfriend, band the Stray Cats. Hopefully they don't get a drummer before I grow up:) My grandma and grandpa got me some really fun books for Patton and I to share. - Kmac

Mommie and Patton



We were just hanging out and Grandma Kelly thought it would be fun to take some pictures. I thought it would be fun too...since I am always behind the camera (which isn't a bad thing!).

Christmas with the Kenner's (not Kenner...the Kenner's)




We were able to get to see all grandparents this Christmas! We went down to Hebron to Great Grandpa and ma Wiedels. I got to play with my cousin Brock...who is 2 months older than me believe it or not. My mom and dad got to play their favorite game "Mafia" with the family, while Patton got loved by everyone!

Our first family foto




It might take a few more pictures to get everyone to smile at the same time...but I think we all did well for the first time at taking a family picture. Good job Patton!

Momma's Boys!






If I can't put bows in their hair...I will have them wear matching socks and hats! I love Gymboree! Aren't my two boys just adorable? I think so...but I am their mommie.

Christmas at Elge's cont.






Christmas with the Elge's




We had much fun with aunt Lucy, uncle Levi, and Dennis and Kelly playing the new game "Snorta," learning new recipes/ways to cook such great food, tutoring Levi and Lucy on how to play "Roller Coaster Tycoon," minimally returning the favor of helping Dennis get ready for his new barn, and just hanging out. Kenner loved hanging out with the big boys outside and Patton loved sitting in everyone's warm arms.

Casey's 28th Birthday with the Elge's




We were able to get a little rest and relaxation at Grandpa and Grandma Elge's. Casey celebrated his birthday with the Gparent Elge's, and Uncle Mike and Aunt Michelle.

Grandpa Dennis was tricky with his wrapping of Casey's magnet on wheels. He made it look like some type of stand with his wrapping. That tricky grandpa!

Meeting Santa for the first time...


Kenner will go to anyone...except Santa!

Christmas with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Scott






We were able to celebrate Christmas with Casey's mom, Judy and Kenner and Patton's cousins, Dillon and Tori. Dillon is the one Kenner is hugging. Sorry Grandma Judy we didn't get a picture with you! We will have to come back and get a good picture! Thanks for the trains, we already have them all over the floor in the front room...so much for that staying "toy free!"

the LIVING room




Yes we do have a living room without it being crammed full of toilets, insulation,tools, and other misc items. I have even just laid down in the middle of the room and just admired space. Now you can come into my house and not have to ask yourself - "Why do they have a dresser, toilet, and insulation in their living room?" Everything now has it's place in our house and I couldn't be more thankful!!!!!! AMEN!

Misc pictures



These are pictures of our hallway upstairs and our stair well! Love the floors...don't you?

To do yet!



To do yet...but just need to paint and get the floors laid and we will have a working bathroom upstairs. No fear we still have our bathroom on the first floor and in the basement to use!

Guest Room




Guest room, yes we have a guest room...so come and stay any time!!! My quilt doesn't quite fit the bed...so still brainstorming ideas for that:)
Love the ceiling fan and the vaulted ceiling? I do! We still have a little painting to do, but nothing I can't get done during nap time:)

Our room




I haven't hung anything on the walls...waiting for Casey to help me:) but the King sized bed is a must for anyone!
