Army Man!!

Drew is officially mobile! (well, he has been for about a week but I'm behind on posting! LOL) He's crawling now, army man style. It's too funny! Tonight I had to go get him out of the bathroom...guess it's time to start keeping doors closed again! :)

This was one of the first times he moved....he's much quicker now!

16

I........

...am scared of the dark! I am not quite paranoid, but I am pretty sure that if we leave our front door unlocked when we're not home, somebody will be hiding in the bathtub when we get back.

...used to slam on my breaks in my pick-up truck when I was in high school to make sure nobody was hiding in the back....I thought if I hit the breaks I'd hear them roll around in the back! lol

...have worked 9 different jobs in my life that I can think of....10 if you count babysitting! Everything from filing at my Dads office to the carwash, to cooking food at the bowling alley!

...used to have my bellybutton pierced, but I'm TERRIFIED of needles!!

...am OBSESSED with the Twilight saga. I just finished the last book and I'm convinced there should be more. I like to think these people really exist and I want to find them and be their friend!! HAHA

...got married when I was 20 years old....couldn't even drink on our honeymoon!

...am a sucker for MTV dating shows!! Any of them...they crack me up!!

...got my first speeding ticked when I was 16....and

...rear-ended somebody the very next day!!!

...pretty much HAVE to have a straw in my drink unless it's can or bottle

...always have a glass of water next to my bed, even though sometimes I never take a drink! Hey, I could wake up thirsty!

...got a hamster when I was in college, and so did one of my 'roommates'....we ended up with like 50 hamsters!!

...went to preschool with my husband, and we stood right next to each other at the graduation program.....we have it on video!

...am a HUGE procrastinator, everything is last minute for me!

...got 'arrested' for toilet papering when I was 13....we got 3 houses that night and got caught on the 3rd!!

...had the chickenpox for the first time at the end of my sophomore year of high school! I missed exams and had to come in during the summer to take them!!

Well....that's it....16 things you may or may not have know about me!! I was tagged by Nikki, and now I tag Jamie and Erika!!

Christmas with my family!

On Christmas day we went to my parents house and celebrated Christmas with the Schabergs (moms side) and also with my immediate family. We had so many Christmas' this year, and unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures other than at home and at moms! Maybe next year... :)


My nephew Carter...I think he was LOVING being surrounded by presents...with Spiderman paper none the less!


My Dad holding Drew... he's getting difficult to hold these days, he's so squirmy!!


Who is this handsome hunk??!! :)


My nephew Cason...drooling as always! :) How cute it he?!?!


My cousin Cade - for some reason he's the only Chiles boy I got a photo of! Jordyn is standing right behind him...love her outfit!


This one is blurry...I couldn't get the camera to focus on them. I think it was trying to focus on the tree lights behind them. LOVE the shot though...too bad it wouldn't turn out!!


My Grandma! :) She would KILL me if she knew I was putting this on here...but I couldn't resist! You really have to fight to get a picture of her, esp one she's smiling in! Love this lady!!


Jordyn Jordyn Jordyn! :) She's got her new snow boots on (which, by the way, I don't think she's worn anything else on her feet since she opened those boots!!) and she has her new baby doll diaper bag on her back! Too cute!!
Ohhh.....AND In case you aren't keeping up...... 3 more days until my birthday!!! :)

Christmas Morning at Home

Only 4 days until my birthday!

Christmas morning we spent at home with just our family of 4! Santa came, of course, on Christmas Eve, and he did not disappoint! Jordyn didn't want him to come into our house while she was sleeping, so we had to tell her that Santa was going to drop our presents off at our neighbor, Ellens, house and we would pick them up on Christmas morning. Then we were able to convince her it'd be ok if he just put them on the front porch and didn't come in the house. Well, once she saw the presents under the tree on Christmas morning, she didn't care anymore that Santa had come into the house!! She did ask me right away if we had to go outside to get them, but I told her that he came in the house while she was asleep. She didn't care since he had come bearing gifts!! LOL Ohh...3 yr olds!!



Jordyn tearing open some paper!


Baby Drew watching from the Jumperoo!


Jordyn with her very own laptop!!


Drew chewing on his new book! (It's one of those foamy kind for babies..)

And last but not least, here is a short video of each of the kids on Christmas morning. The one of J is she first came down the hall and saw all the presents.

Drews Baptism

On December 7, Drew was Baptised. What a special day in his life! Thankfully most of our family was able to make it to share the day with him. He wore a gown from Mikes family. It would have been Drews great, great Grandpas, but it may have gone back even further than that. We know for sure that his great grandpa and great, great grandpa both wore it when they were baptised. What an awesome heirloom - I'm so glad our baby boy was able to wear it!

During the Baptism

Proud Momma with her Baby Boy!

Our family, minus Jordyn! Too bad Drew wasn't looking!

Mike, Drew, and I, with Pastor Will. He baptised Jordyn as well.

Close-up of Mommy and Drew

Good picture, I wish Jordyn was in it!

Happy Boy!!

Our family with my parents

Our family with Mikes mom

Our family with Katie and Bob (Mikes sister)
Most of our family had cleared out before we got to do the last pictures, so unfortunately we didn't get pictures of everybody, but at least they were able to make it to the service.

**I didn't forget ..... only 5 more days 'till my birthday!!
