Annual Wittwer Christmas Party

We decided to branch out and make a gingerbread TRAIN......we were the only ones to try such a thing! Funny though cuz I wanted it to look soooo cute and perfect and Jake just wanted to get it done!! Oh and I cut the whole in the frosting bag too big....so I had to through out my goal of perfection


Crazy girls!! Lily is seriously making a hilarious face, right?!


Arianna, making her gingerbread house......she was way too busy to smile for the camera!!


Little Linc and Aunt Kay Kay


What a handsome dude right?! Yeah Jay is only 7.....he looks like he's 12 I know.


Gen and Chris.....the next to get hitched!! Congrats you two!!


The party was so fun and each family was sent home with a huge platter of cookies......I had to give them away....we would be like 100 ton if we ate all those cookies! YIKES! So until next year's Wittwer Christmas party!


KAITY'S CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCE!!

I went to see the Carrolls about a week ago and Kaity luckily had this little 20 minute performance for her dance class.....so adorable! She did so great......


This is some serious concentration!!




This is after the performance.....still posing!! What a pretty girl


Thanks for letting me come and visit Carrolls!! Love you guys!

Milestones

Linc has been sitting up on his own.......he mastered this skill about 2 weeks ago, but life has been so busy I am just barley getting to it!! So here you go....eat your heart out....I know I will!





awww.....what a freaking cutie!! He is so awesome and such a happy little guy!! He is already growing up too fast!! These pics were taken about 2 weeks ago.....now he's a big 6 month old!! Right when I think he can't get any cuter, he does!

Happy Halloween!!........a little late...

This year we spent halloween with the Wittwers....however....we did stop by the Carrolls on the way just to say hi and check out the cute costumes!!

awwww........Snow White and little skeletor.....


Cute costumes Carrolls!!


Dylan and Ash ran a half marathon the day of halloween....so needless to say they were VERY sore and tired and were excited to relax for the evening!! Good job guys!! I am so impressed!!


Oh my heck, Jacks just cracked me up with his costume!!! what an adorable boy in that costume! What a creepy little chub spider!


Jacks was reaching for the candy the whole time we were there.....yum yum


Oh and funny Jake being Ron Burgundy....his favorite character

Snow White and the evil witch! I look it don't I!

Kaity and Parker just love each other and were so excited to go trick or treating...Kaity was a butterfly and of course Parks was nothing but batman!!

On to the Wittwer Party!!

Here are the Gilberts......Yarrrrgh matey....ye've been boarded.....ye scurvy sea dogs!!

But Lily of course was a sweet little fairy.....all the kids played all night....rarely saw them!!

Kay and Gen.......Linc was such a cuddle bug....Aunt Gen loved it! I mean who wouldn't!!

Jake's parents' costumes were hilarious....we didn't get to see Jeff's costume....but I guess he was a hippie too, but looked like a pimp!! I was sad we didn't get there in time to see it!!

Okay if you are saying, "what the h*@&!...you are not the only one!! Of course there is Amber and then there is Travis......trying to be a girl obviously.....I think he kind of missed the mark!.....

ThE CaTcH Up GaMe!!

Kaity's birthday was last month, she's a big 4 year old now!! She had a little fam party at Chuck E. Cheese. However, the only person Kaity would really need there is little Parker....they are best friends. It was fun to share her special day with her! Thanks Carrolls!

Kaity and Parker are having fun........Kaity is throwing me a fake smile and Parker is telling me how many tickets he got doing what game. Their having way too much fun to let Aunt Lindsey take a pic!


Our little fam gamin' in up!! P.S. I told you I would chop my hair!!


Dylan and Markham got the most tickets by far.....Dylan was especially good at this football game......pretty intense huh?


I guess Markham is a slave to his tickets....


All this playing is tiring!


Hey Ash!!


yum........these little meat sticks taste goooooood!


April and little Jacks..sweet


All the tickets we earned went to getting Kaity and Parker some prizes. It was so cute though, because Parker gave Kaity the rest of his tickets so she could get two prizes: a ball and a cute little Dora lunch box.....what a sweety!!

Daddy & me....ohhh and girlfriends

So this summer has been full of craziness........Linc was born.....2 week hospital trip.......and Jake has been busily trying to get our yard done. That's right our back yard has been a big patch of tall tall nasty weeds! Jake finished our park strip, put in sprinklers, brought in a LOT of gravel and dirt and got the back all ready for grass and a patio. I know it doesn't sounds like much.....but we had some distractions! Grass and a patio will have to be put off till spring, winter's coming way too soon!!


So Jake rented this thing....um I think it might be called a skidster, something like that, to bring in tons of gravel. Linc wanted to experience it with daddy!!




Our next house will definitely have the yard done....its been tons of work and $$$!!! But hey this is our first house.....we couldn't get everything we wanted!

Here's Linc with his little girlie friend...Lucy....awwwww.


Geesh Linc.....getting a little fresh!


Lucy is our sweet little neighbor girl, the Orme's are good friends of ours....what a cutie guys!! These two are going to walk to school together and be the best of friends.....who knows maybe more!!

Destination: Arizona!

Linc and I we were lucky enough to spend some time in Sedona and St. George with April and her kiddos and the parents. Yup....that's right poor Monte was the only man there!! The poor hubby's had to stay home and make the bacon. There were definitely some hard nights, where I wondered why I went on the trip......but they were few and I had a lot of fun during the days!! We spent a lot of time at the pool, went shopping at all the little shops and of course relaxed!!


I decided at the end of the week to try taking Linc in the pool. I was fully prepared for him to hate it and cry and fuss....but to my sweet surprise he loved it!! Woo Hoo!!!

Okay okay he did pull this little face....but only after I blew in his little face and dunked him. He has to get used to the water fast.....I love the pool so he has to too!!!


SO FUN!!


Awwwww.........what a heartthrob!!!

So these are pics of Jacks, he was so hilarious because he had no fear of the water. I mean that's normal with kids but even after he feel in the water repeatedly he still loved it!! He was actually doing it on purpose and April was just there to pull him out!!



Check it out!!! He is coming out from being completely submerged and he's laughing!! Whoa



Aunt Jan, Cousin Brooke and little Carsen came to St. George for the day and it was awesome!!! Kaity and Carsen just loved playing together!!


This is Linc napping before his adventure in the pool......I mean he's practically doing the splits!!


No one is really looking at the camera but April, but I had to post it because of the face Kaity is pulling!! What a spaz right!! Oh my gosh her mouth is so big!! HILARIOUS

What a good little cousin Kaity is....being so sweet with Linc. She was my big helper with everything Lincoln. Job description: Binkie, wipe, diaper, blanket, clothes finder. What a good little runner!!

Hehe.......everything is going according to plans......whooooowaaaahaaa








Here we are enjoying the little shops in "uptown" Sedona!!! There was like this crazy rain storm while we were shopping....of course!!

April with here little man Jacks......he loves the water too, we are just a fish family I guess!

We had a blast and it was nice to get out and have some fun....I was starting to feel a little cooped up doing the same thing everyday! So thank you Mom and Frump, we enjoyed our vacation with you guys!!! Thanks for putting up with all the chaos!! Love you!

Unfortunately, our little Ash couldn't make it...she had to work, which is a good excuse I guess!! But we missed you girlie!
