Photo Shoot Preview

A few weekends ago, Chase and Cody had pictures taken with their cousins in the park. Here are a preview of the pictures.

Broken

That would describe my camera. A camera I received from Steve for Christmas. A camera that I love and take everywhere with me. I take pictures of the boys almost everyday. I am just so lost without it.
It started acting weird a couple of weeks ago not wanted to take every picture that I wanted it to take. It works great in no flash mode but the flash won't work. Even the video part would work. So I talked to Best Buy and since we have the extended warranty on it they will repair it or replace it (if they can't repair it). But this is going to take 2 weeks. Yes 2 weeks. What I am going to do without a camera for two weeks? Did this have to happen at the holidays?

Jeeping at Thanksgiving

I had mentioned in a previous post that Steve had rolled the jeep in the desert when we were there for Thanksgiving. This happened on Friday after Thanksgiving. I don't have any pictures of the actual roll over but just the damage that is caused.

I guess he went off a hill to the passenger side that he thought he could climb down and instead rolled down the hill and crashed. He and his passenger, Daniel, hit so hard that they bounced back onto all four tires. They both were okay, didn't get hurt. They were a little sore the next day though.

They were able to fix the jeep and he went out jeeping on Saturday. Here are some pictures of that.

Making Rice Crispy Treats

While we were gone to Las Vegas on Friday Chase and Cody stayed with their great-grandparents, Grammy and Pop. They had so much fun. Grammy and Pop kept them busy. They boys helped Pop put up his Christmas Lights on the porch.

They also were able to make Rice Krispie Treats with Grammy.

Cody didn't like the stuff on his hands.

While they were making the batter, every time Grammy would put a marshmallow in the bowl Chase would take two out. The treats turned out a little dry, but they were still very good and the boys were very proud of thier treats.

Grammy and Pop really wore them out and they slept for about 2 1/2 hours.

Thanks Grammy and Pop for keeping the boys for us while we were having fun!!

Weekend Update

On Thursday, we left for Las Vegas, NV. It was about a 5 hour drive for us and we went with 4 other couples. We stayed at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino downtown.

I had never stayed downtown before, and I loved it. Thursday night we started to drink, I am not a drinking type person, and probably haven't had a drunk night since before the boys were born. We ended up on the dance floor we danced the night away. It was so much fun. We had breakfast at about 2:30am and went to bed until about 11am.

On Friday, we went to Cowboy Christmas. This is a bunch of vendors all related to country stuff for the National Finals Rodeo that was in town. We go every year and this year was just as fun. We went to dinner at Binnon's Steakhouse on the 24th floor. What a fabulous view and great food.

We left early Saturday morning for our drive home. We had a great time. This was the first time I had left the boys for a consecutive 2 nights. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but we kept busy. The boys stayed with their grandparents and great-grandparents. They had just as much fun as we did.

We are back home

I am hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did in the desert. Thanksgiving day we had a few sprinkles of rain about the time dessert came along. Nothing to much to stop me from eating lots of good pie!

I have a bunch of pictures to post of us in the desert. Steve crashed (rolled) the jeep so I have pictures of the damage to the Jeep. He and his brother were fine. But I didn't bring my camera card with me to work so maybe I will post pictures of that tonight.

I also have our Christmas pictures that were taken with Chase and Cody's cousins that turned out wonderful. I will have to show you some of those also!

We are also going out of town again this weekend so I am getting ready for that. I have a tag or two to get too also. I haven't forgotten.
