Two For the Price of One

We got a great new ottoman for our living room.......

........the boys got a great new toy!!!!

Super Brothers!!!

A couple of nights ago, the boys were playing together upstairs (ratherly nicely I might add!!) and they came down wearing their capes (a.k.a. bath towels). I HAD to seize the opportunity for future blackmail material and snapped a few shots of them. :0)

Super Carter and his trusty side-kick, Jack-Man!!!

Don't mess with us.....we're awfully tough in our bath towel capes!!!!

Christmas In Nebraska

We had a great time visiting Jason's parents in Nebraska after Christmas. We had a lot of time to just spend time together and relax. I sort of took a picture-taking vacation while were there so I didn't get a ton of pictures. Here are soem of the ones that I did take:

Jack is ready for some bowling!!!

Daddy trying to show Jack the right way to throw the ball.....he reverted back to his shot putt technique anyway.:0)

Carter taking a shot at the pins.

Check out Jason's form!!! He could go pro!!!

Jason with his dad....they both really enjoyed all the time they got to sepnd together.:0)

Delvin taking a shot.

Carter decided to keep score the old-fashioned way.

Jack wanted to "keep score" just like his older brother.:0)

Jack is ready for his next turn.

There it goes.....how many pins will he get this time???

Jack's Store.......formally Carter's Store until Jack took it over this year.:0)

Daddy and Jack playing "store". This was by far Jack' favorite thing to do while at Grandpa and Grandma Hoerth's house.:0)

Christmas (a little late)

I'm a little late posting about Christmas but we just got back from Nebraska on Monday and we're still trying to get back into our routine. We were blessed to have my parents here with us for Christmas again this year. It was a short visit and we were sad to see them go. Here our some pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day:

Carter and Jack with Grandpa and Grandma Nickelson all dressed up for church.

Me and my boys.:0)

I LOVE this shot of Carter and Jack!!!

Family shot after church on Christmas Eve. Jack wasn't too thrilled about gettinghis picture taken (not much of a surprise there!!!)

The boys presents waiting to be opened Christmas morning.

Carter and Jack posing for a picture before opening their gifts.

Jack wanted to take a shot of the rest of us on Christmas morning.:0)

My mom opening the bracelet that we gave her.

My dad opening one of his gifts.

Jason was very happy about getting a tea kettle and french press to make yummy coffee. :0)

Carter opening his Mizzou pj pants from G-Pa and G-Ma. Grandpa and Grandma Hoerth (Husker fans) weren't happy to see those on him in Nebraska!!!!

We saw a LOT of this on Christmas Day. I think he ended up taking over 1200 picture, 20 of which were actually good.:0)

My dad, Jason and Carter playing a cut-throat game of "Risk". :0)

We had a wonderful time with my parents for Christmas and then headed to Nebraske to see Jason's family. I will post those pics another day because this post is getting too long as it is!!!
