Recent pictures

Here are some recent pictures I thought were cute and figured I would share them with all of you.

Ayden won't really let us take his picture so I was really excited when he didn't hide from the camera for this one. The look on his face is really weird but at least it is a picture of it huh?

Jennika was being so funny at the grocery store. She kept taking stuff off of the shelves and carrying it around. She thought she was being pretty cute.

Jennika looked so comfortable when I took this picture. She fell asleep in her car seat with all her winter gear on and a blanket on her lap. Needless to say, she was sweating to death when we got her out!

She is such a daddies girl! We went to see him at work and she went running up to him and gave him a great big hug and wouldn't let go of him.

This picture kills me. We just bought some "big boy" underwear for Ayden and when he got them out of the package Jennika thought they were so cool that she put a pair of them on her head. It was hilarious!

Here is a recent picture of me

And here is a recent picture of Tyler.

Bunk Bed!

My mom and dad got the kids a bunk bed for Christmas, I know it is kind of early for a Christmas present but we needed to do something different with their room. The bed is a twin on top and full on bottom. Ayden got the top and Jennika got the bottom, for safety reasons, obviously. The top picture is obviously the bed itself, the second one is Jennika's bedding. She got the Disney Princess blanket and sheets . The last picture is of Ayden's new Thomas the Tank Engine bedding. He absolutely LOVES his new bed! They both do, Jennika got her bed for the first time and started to kiss the princesses and she didn't want to get off. Ayden just would not get off his bed at all. He has spent most of the day just down playing on his bed. Jennika got quite upset when we were carrying her crib outside. It made me feel so bad, she was just screaming. But she got over it when we showed her her new princess blanket. Plus now their bedroom has enough space in it to put some of their hundreds of toys down there. It makes my living room look so much bigger, but now I have the Christmas tree in here and it is taking up quite a bit of my corner. I will post some pictures of that when we get lights to put on it. I went to put my lights on it today and realized I only had one 12 foot strand for a 7 1/2 foot tall tree. Plus when I plugged them in they didn't work. So right now there is just a really big naked tree in my living room! :) Love to all and Happy Holidays!

Graylee Kay Hardy

This is my new niece, Graylee Kay! She is so stinking cute. She was born on November 3rd, she was 6 lbs. 9 ounces and 18 inches long. Jennika and Ayden absolutely loved her! Ayden kept on kissing her on the top of the head and telling mommy to take her home. Jennika just wanted to take her and hold her and love on her, she did much better around the baby then I thought she would. She just sat there and stared at her, I think she was trying to figure why the baby doll was making noise. It was so cute to watch my kids and how they acted around Graylee, they could sense that she was very precious and not to be too rough with her. I think it kind of made Stephanie(my sister in law) a little nervous but she didn't say anything. She is a good sport. She said that her little boy, Sylus, would come to her tummy and tell her that he was going to hold the baby and then he would cup his hands and walk around the house cooing at his empty hands. She thinks he was starting to believe that mommy was really never going to have his baby sister. He is such a cute little stink!(he is about two and half) I love you Steph!! Thanks for giving me such a cute little niece and nephew!
