Friday evening we decided to go to a hotel with our two and relax, this have been a little stressful with the other situation lately and we needed a break. The hotel room was small, but the kids liked the mirrors behind the bed...they kissed themselves often!
This was last Tuesday, Ethan was so tired he fell asleep in his high chair! Ethan & Mommy have not been sleeping so well the last little while.
For a while last week Ada and Ethan had to sleep in Mommy's very disorganized office. Ada Grace really enjoyed the screen saver slide show and naming who she saw. Puppy, Grandpa, Ethan, Andre, and Daddy were among her favorites!
I found out today that our puppy is the one in the middle. We are still looking for a name, and I hope you all will vote on the right side for which name you choose he is coming home Monday around 5 so please help us out!
I have pictures of a few of the family members with our last night out in the minivan (obviously this was last week and I am a little behind with pictures!)
Not the greatest of Princess, but none the less.
Okay, so none of the pictures are the greatest, but the subjects are the cutest!
Ada Grace has learned how to sign & say "EAT" and it is one of her favorite words...because it is one of her favorite past times! The other night Jason took all of us out and here are the pictures to show it!
This is Bambi, she and Belle are the smallest of the 4. I think that Bambi is soo cute because of the darkness around her eyes, ears, and on her tail!
This is Beauty, she is spoken for already and will be going to her knew home in Sioux Falls. She really has a personality! She is the biggest of the bunch and is the first one to the dish at feeding time! She also goes in reverse very well!
This is Belle, the one we are considering keeping. If we keep her, her knew name will be Nevaeh Ashon. Since her Mama's Name is Nema (Amen backwards) Jaylee (Jason and Ashley smushed together) and thought that that Heaven backwards (Nevaeh) and Ashon (Jason and Ashley smushed together) would be a great name! 
This is Buzz, our little boy. His sisters pick on him all the time! He is the noisiest, and likes to bark at everything that moves.
What would normally take about 2 hours from Elkton to Mitchell took us about 3 hours and 45 minutes....we only saw 9 accidents on that SHORT trip! 
A rather long trip (7 1/2 hours) was made even longer!
5 children 3 and under were not so forgiving!
A playing with the soccer ball at my cousin Micah and his wife Gretchen's house. View their blog here. Micah, Gretta, and Princess are in the background.
Long time family friend, Glen, joined us on Christmas Eve. As you can see C took to him very quickly!
Isn't little Molly Jo just too cute!
This is Princess putting on a show at Micah and Gretchens house. 
Rere, my wonderful brother, and his bride Christy.
Princess is always excited to see Grandpa and Grandma (hint hint...our door is always open!)
Sunshine and Micah's house. He was using Grandpa as a jungle gym!
Today we said good bye to our wonderful Honda.
We now have a Chevy Suburban, all carseats fit in the truck and we still have room for one extra person! (Grandma better come visit!)
It is a deep blue color, 2005, with only 52,000 miles on it. We truely should not need to buy another set of wheels for a very long time. (I know I know, that is what we said December 16th of 2006....but once we fill this up, if ever, we are DONE!!!)
He didn't get into it as much as sissy Ada, but he did enjoy it none the less!
Every once in a while my dad and my brother start goofing off, and this is what happened on Christmas Eve day!
Dad got the best of Zach...
Zach was hurting...
Dad was proud of himself...
I am really behind as far as Christmas pictures! This is Ada Grace while we were opening gifts on Christmas Eve at my parents house.
She had more fun with the wrapping than with the gifts she unwrapped!
She played and played.
Had so much fun while doing it.
