Helping grandpa

Nickolas just loves his grandpa. When we woke up on Sunday morning, my dad called and asked if Nick could come up to his house and help out on the 4wheeler moving the snow! My bug was more than excited to help pappa. He gathered up all his snow clothes all by himself, put it in my car, got in the car and buckled himself in. He kept telling me he needed to go to work.

Here are a few pictures:

EnJoY!!

This is Nick and my dad having a little fun after the job was done!!
Nick will not take his helmet off.
If you notice, he is shoveling the snow in the grass. Great job bud!! ;)

I can't hlep but love this little face. His little nose and cheeks were so red and his voice was a little horse, but he stayed outside the entire time and helped pappa until the job was done. What a great little helper!

Santa...I have been so good this year!!

Santa I want a Bumble bee transformer, and a spider man vacuum, and a hulk "fash light" and a "engine turtle" and a .....................................

So Nickolas has been bothering me every day last week to go and see Santa so we could bring him his list! We decided Saturday would be just a joyous day to bring the kids. Both kids were great getting ready for the day, they just couldn't wait to see "him"! So we stood in line and the whole time they were yelling "Hi Santa!!" Things were going great! (Since last year Nick told Santa that he didn't like him) We started to get closer....and it was almost our turn to see Santa. Nick suddenly became very nervous. He wouldn't let go of my legs and instantly wanted me to hold him. He kept telling me he wanted to go home. All the little kids in line were trying to make him feel better by telling him Santa was nice and that he brings lots of toys and so on. Nick continued to ball. Well it was our turn and I had to practically drag him up to the chair. Once Ashlynn sat on Santa's lap, Nick was pissed he wasn't getting a turn to tell Santa what he wanted. Out of nowhere, Nick jump up on his lap and spouted out every single thing on his list without taking a breath. It was rather funny, everyone in line was clapping for him and we could do nothing but laugh.
Maybe next year we can go see Santa and leave the drama at home. :)

Cowboys VS Steelers!!

Just in case some of you don't know, our family is huge STEELERS fans!! This is something I have inherited with Ryan. His family is die hards and his sweet little mom told me the first time we meet, "well do you like to watch football?" So I answered, "Well sure I do! It can be fun!" So then she asked "Well do you have a favorite team?" pause pause....I knew this was a trick question....."No...I just enjoy watching it in general" Then is the sweetest voice ever Ryan's mom told me "Well if you don't like the Steelers, I don't think we can accept you into this family!" I was blown away!! ha From then on...I have been a hardcore fan!!

Any who....this last Sunday was a hard game for "Us"! We played the Cowboys! Everyone knows that Cowboys have CRAZY fans. Some of the craziest are our best friends! We decided to get together for the game and cheer on our teams!

I think it went well.......Well it did for us at least
