A Mighty B Christmas Story

Around here we are all so excited for Christmas!

We're being good.

Eating all of our cereal.

In hopes that the cutest Christmas Elves...



Will come and put presents under our tree.

Are you there Readers? It's me, the Mighty B...

Hello? Anyone still check this thing?? I LOVE writing this blog and have a gazillion pictures to share, but I've been so busy lately! Busy in a very good way. Here are some highlights of what's been happening - details to come later!

• - Brenna ate cereal for the first time tonight. She's getting so so big!
• - I've started the awesome career of becoming a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant! Who knew the little girl who ripped the bows off her shoes would be good at this? But I LOVE it! It's an awesome company and an awesome opportunity. Email me to find out how you can help me reach my goal for this month!!! (No purchase required!)
• - Riley is the funniest little boy on the planet. Hands down.
• We put our tree up a little early - Riley loves it. I'm sooo ready for Christmas!

Gotta go get ready for tomorrow...more soon I promise!

Thank you for calling Liberty Mutual, this is Riley...

Training the boy to take over mommy's job so I can retire. You can already see the defeated look on his face. :-)

Mommy's Day Off

I try and get as many photos of the kids as I can, but I always seem to do the best 'photo shoots' on my day off.

And yes, I do have the cutest kids in the universe. Thank you for noticing.

The Tiny B (Brenna Nicole) really is a happy baby, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the pictures. She always looks so bored! (in the above pic, Riley was entertaining her)

Riley is my cheeser. I had tried to scrapbook tonight and he found my popdots and decided they'd look better all over him.

This is him trying to escape the papparazzi (me) by rolling out of the car all stunt man like. (Notice he is not wearing pants, as usual, and he does have on the pretty pink pull-up! hee hee!)

It's been a GOOD day

A special package arrived.

It was confirmed that I have the cutest, sweetest kids ever. So blessed.
(yep, they are both asleep)

And finally - hope for our nation.

It's been a good day.

Fine Dining

Since Elkhart County has practically the worst unemployment rate in the country, our local Martin's Supermarket has decided to help build morale by making gourmet dining affordable.

You can now have your Hot Pockets with wine! Classy!
