A Few Photos!

We still don't have the Kodak program on the computer...but I am going to share a few photos from our cell phones! Hey...you make do with what you have, right? We do have lots of great pictures to share, whenever we get that program up and running again! For now, a few random shots.... Enjoy!




My 2 favorite boys matching in blue!



Yep...he still has that tongue out!! LOVE IT!



Not a very good shot of Jordyn - but I took this one to show the new raincoat we got her at Sams Club!! Yeah, of all places...but it's OshKosh and it's ADORABLE!!



My 2 babies all decked out for Christmas! This is a cell phone picture of a picture...but you get the idea! LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE KIDDOS!!!!

I'm Dreaming...

Of A White Christmas..... but only Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning! And until then, lets hope the sun comes out to MELT THIS ICE!!

Anyway...I just wanted to wish each and every one of you a safe and blessed Christmas holiday! And I promise...one of these days we'll get some pictures on here! I hope Santa finds you, but I also hope we can all take a moment to reflect on the true reason for the season...that little baby that was born so long ago..may He be with each and every one of us and keep us warm and safe. I hope all of your prayers are answered, and I hope all of your stockings are full! :)

No Pictures Here!

Sorry, all, we have our computer back, but they had to basically rebuild the darn thing. That means our Kodak program is no longer on the computer. Once we get that loaded again, we'll post some picture updates! Lets face it, that's what everybody likes to see anyway, right?!

I will give you a quick update though... We had Drew baptised last Sunday, so that was a great day. Our family was all able to make it to church for the service, with the exception of my sisters family. Poor Carter was SICK, very sick. He's doing much better, and we will see them sooner than we realize for CHRISTMAS! Drew is still working on teething, we can't see any poking through quite yet, but he's definately trying. He loves to roll around on the floor and wishes he were mobile. We're not ready for that yet, though!!! He can stay in one spot for awhile longer as far as mommy and daddy are concerned! He jabbers a lot, and still has that tongue out all the time! TOO CUTE!! 7 months old already!

As for Jordyn, she is now taking her naps wearing just underwear, no diaper!! We're still using diapers at night, because that's an awfully long time for her right now! One of these days, we'll be diaper free! ( at least for jordyn, we still have a couple years with Drew!! :( ) What a BIG GIRL! ! We are so proud of the progress she's making! She's all ready for school, too bad she has almost a year to wait!! LOL

Mike made it through yet another layoff at work. He just made it through by the skin of his teeth this time, so hopefully there's not another one coming! We're not sure at this point how many hrs they will get each week, though, so we're not out of the woods yet....but at least he still has a job!

As far as I'm concerned, we're working overtime at work, so I'm very thankful for that!! It's hard to get the hours in, but I'm doing all I can, because we can use the extra money!! I'm very lucky to be where I am...in every aspect of my life! No complaints here! I'm hoping to get the Christmas tree put up this week. I mean, it is December now...(we won't mention that it's December 14!!)...so I'm thinking, what the heck! Might as well get the decorations out, right?! Nothing like the holiday spirit! I'm just trying to focus this year on what this holiday is truly about. I think we all tend to lose sight of that in the midst of all the lights, trees, shopping, presents, and food!

I hope you all have a very blessed Christmas holiday, and stay tuned for pictures.... :)

No Posting Here!

This is just a quick post to let you know, there won't be any posts! :) Our computer got a virus...GRRR!!....and it's in the hospital for the time being. They said it would be Monday before they could do any surgery, so hopefully all will go well and we will have it home in no time!! Keep checking back....

Go Bucks!!

Saturday we went to Columbus to tailgate for the Ohio State-Michigan game. We had a great time watching Michigan get stomped!! Here are a few pictures...... Enjoy!




Jen and I on our way down, on the party bus.

A shot of the front half of the bus, there were about 35 people total!

Jen and Elizabeth at Hineygate

The Biberstines at Hineygate!

Jen and I, and my buddy Scotty back on the WARM bus after the game!

Just the Two of Us

This is an unusual post for us...nothing about the kids!! We don't usually take time for ourselves, but the other night when both kids were content, we were hanging out and snapping close-ups with Mikes cell phone. These are the results:

Not super great, but definately not terrible. We're going to Hineygate Saturday to see the Buckeyes Stomp the Wolverines...so I'm sure we'll have some good, fun pictures from that! ......Stay tuned....! :)

Jump Jump Jump!

This is too Funny!! We've been putting Drew in his Jumperoo, and he would pretty much just sit in it and look around. Well this morning, he started going NUTS! Jumping and laughing...it was too cute! I just had to get a clip of it to share with all of you! :)

Crazy Colors!

Well, maybe I finally lost my mind, maybe we are a little weird, but we have FUN and that's what matters, right!?!? Anyway, we were experimenting. I saw an article in a magazine Tisha gave me, and it suggested putting a colored sticky note or paper over the flash on your camera. They used the idea for Halloween, but I forgot about it until last night! Just kinda adds a new and different flare to pictures, and Jordyn loved it! She was practicing her scary faces..... :)


Woo.....ScArY!!!


He's even cute in PINK!!!


What a serious little man!


One more scary face! Ahh!!


** And in other news, we took D for his 6 month well check today. It was actually kind of a bad day for him, He got his shots as well. He now weighs in at 19 lbs 7 oz, and is 28 in long. He's in the 80th percentile for weight, and 95th for height! Looks like Daddy may get that football/basketball player he's been hoping for! :)

We Caught Him!!

I've been following Drew around with the camera trying to catch him sticking his tongue out! He does it CONSTANTLY now, but I haven't been able to capture it! Well, Finally, Daddy got this great shot!! TOO CUTE!!!!!

Drew- 6 month Pictures!

Thanks so much to Grandma Rhoades for taking Drew to get some pictures taken!! Christmas came early for us!! Family - yes, we do have pictures for you! :) Forgive the glare and quality on these, I was taking pictures of pictures! ENJOY!

And don't miss our other post from today, BIG NEWS!

How Old's Your Baby?

6 months old TODAY! WOW...Time Flies!

Sweet Baby Boy!!


Twins! Seriously...they look so much alike!!!

And some AWESOME news.....

Jordyn is now going #2 on the potty!!
We are still using diapers at nap time and bedtime, but the rest of the time it's big girl pants!~ She's even going in public! Yes, these 2 things have been a huge battle for us. She would only go #1, and not anywhere public! So, needless to say, we are PUMPED!! YAY JORDYN!!!

This picture is 3 months old, but believe it or not, we don't have a whole lot of pictures of ANYONE on the potty! LOL

Happy Halloween!

Finally, Trick or Treat pictures! Jordyn was a fairy princess and Drew was a monkey. It was cold that day, so we just went to a couple houses of people we know, but Jordyn had fun.

Both kids together, It's hard to get a good picture of a 3 yr old with a 6 mo old!


Grandma Suzi with the cutest monkey ever! Spur of the moment, she drove up to see the kids dressed up and have dinner with us! It was great to see you!


She may be able to fly, but she CAN'T smile!

Big Man! I can't believe Drew is growing up SO quick! Typical male, though, he's got a bottle (his is formula!) and the remote, laying on the couch! :)

We got Jordyn a piggy bank for her birthday that came with paint to decorate it. She loved it and she did a great job of painting it!

Daddy and Jordyn reading a book before bed - can you say 'Daddy's Girl'!?

Quality time with Aunt Katie! Jordyn was working at her work bench when I took this, so she had her eye protection on. Safety First!

I just took this video tonight when Jordyn was 'winding down' to go to bed. I was in the kitchen and heard them laughing, this is what they were up to..... What an AWESOME big sister, she'll do anything to make Drew laugh!

Happy Anniversary!

This past Saturday was our 5 yr wedding anniversary! 5 yrs already! We had the weekend without kids so that we could just 'be'. It was so nice, and we really enjoyed each others company! We don't get too many opportunties to spend time as just 'us'. I was reminded of all the reasons I married Mike to start with, and I'm looking forward to many more years together!


We set the timer on the camera for this one, not too bad!

Used the timer on this one also. Drew was asleep, so we'll have to get one of the whole family sometime when he's awake and happy!

Mike just repainted all of the trim on our house, along with the garage door. Jordyn HAD to help, she actually did a great job until she accidentally painted Mommys khaki work pants! Any ideas on how to get exterior latex paint out of clothes!?!?

Stay back, professional at work!!!

I had to throw a couple random pics of Drew in!!

Yum! Carrots!! And he even learned how to spit them at Mommy!!
