2nd is THE BEST!!!

This morning Christian got to participate in the kindergarten Mandarin contest.  He was one of 5, and he got 2ND PLACE!!!  WAHOO!!!  He even scored a few laughs!

The "mom are you here" look.

 Getting some last minute directions.

The judges...they were some smart peeps!

Tallying up the scores.

 

CHA CHING!!!  SECOND PLACE!!!

 

WAY TO GO CW!!!  WE ARE  SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Rainy Day Fun

I am LOVING these rainy days!!!  There is nothing better than having the blinds open, and seeing all the wetness!!!  It makes me soooo happy!!!  Even better...yesterday...Collin took the boys to the ASU game for a boys day out.  I was left all alone, to enjoy my clean house, and the silence!  WOO HOO!!!

Geared up and ready...

 

They are off...4 hours to myself!

 

 Uh, Collin took pics at game, which should be here.

However, I can't get them to download right, and I need to get this done.

It was a glorious 4 hours, and we all came back together,

to watch the Goonies and eat pizza!

It was the best rain day ever!!!

And life continues...

Well...we have made it through sickness...FINALLY...and it was just in time for Uncle Greg and Aunt Kizra to come visit!  Photos were not really taken, don't know why, but I did manage to get one on the ol' Iphone.  It was our last night together.  :(

Thanks Greg and Kiz for coming!!!

We had a super good time this past week!!!

K STATE FEVER

WAHOO...the K State Wildcats came to town, and that meant we got to go to the Fiesta Bowl!  Thanks to Collin's parents!  They are alumni, and I swear it's one of the best times ever when K State plays in a bowl game!  All the friends come to town and we whoop it up for a couple days with them.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

BRING ON THE FOOTBALL!!!

Kids are all geared up in their purple and ready!

Some tailgating fun!

 

GAME TIME COUNTDOWN...

 

 Good thing Cutter had these...

we needed them.  :)

 

Christian sporting his Powercat sign.

 

Our halftime visitors...they were in the good seats!

 

Had to keep the snacks coming.

 

Cutter made sure he had a souvenir before we left.

STRAWS!!!

 

 Well...K STATE didn't win...but we had a super fun couple of days!

Here's hoping they come back next year...or rather ASU finally gets a sweet bowl!!!

DEC. 31st

So the last day of December came, and man were we busy!  The action did not stop, and by the time it came to go out, I was DONE & more than happy to stay in!  The boys stayed up til 10, and I managed to about 11.  I have decided New Years is definitely a young persons holiday!  :)

It's not New Years Eve without the Jones's NOON YEARS EVE party for the kiddos!

There was an awesome face painter...

Christian's before....

 

His after...I think it suits him well.

 

Cutter's up...

 

It's almost noon...

 

CHEERS BROTHER!

 

The whole gang of kiddos!

 

Next stop...Chipotle.

 

Almost home...

(we spent 2 cold hours playing outside with the neighbors)

 

Our new years eve fire.

 

Ahhhhh....thank goodness for the Star Wars marathon.

 

HELLLLLOOOO 2013!
