Precious Moments

Precious Moments

As the ladies are getting older, moments like this are few and far between. Got to capture and take in all that we can, while we can!

Christmas Vacation

CHRISTMAS

Another Christmas has come and gone, and yet again ... it was GREAT! Since we were going to be all by our lonesome and my parents were going to be all by their lonesome, they decided to head our way and spend the holiday with us.

We had an absolute blast with them! We ate lots of food, we watched lots of movies, did lots of laughing, and got in some good'ol relaxing!!

Since Gma & Gpa got here right before Christmas, we thought it would be fun to go to Hammond's, and do the candy tour. They make all sorts of yummy candy canes, chocolates, marshmallows, and old-fashioned ribbon candy. Seeming how candy canes are a big deal around Christmas time ... it is always fun to go and see how they are made, especially right before Santa comes!

Hannah at Hammond's, trying to decide what flavor of lollipop she wanted

Since Santa is always getting cookies, the ladies each picked out a doughnut at Krispy Kreme. And as usual, they each chose the one with the most sprinkles. Ummmm, I am pretty sure Santa was excited!

Santa's plate full of goodies

Christmas morning was lots of fun. Hannah was so excited. After she realized that Santa had come ... she ran around the house yelling while Olivia followed, trying to figure everything out. Hannah had all of her presents opened within a matter of minutes. As for Miss Livi ... she wanted to save every piece of paper, every bow, and even the curly ribbon.

The ladies got lots of fun stuff. Dress up outfits, barbie stuff, babies, books, projects, and even a new kitchen (apparently we have yet to take a pic of the cute, little red kitchen).

Thank You Gpa & Gma, for coming out and spending Christmas with us!

Countdown To Christmas

As our countdown to Christmas begins ...

May yours, also be filled with surprise & yumminess!

Thanksgiving Fun

I am slightly behind on my Thanksgiving post. But we had so much fun, that I couldn't forget about it.

Every other year, we spend Thanksgiving with my family in Utah. It is always nice to get away from the busy, city life every now and again, and this year was definitely no exception.

To my surprise, Chiki's school gave the students an entire week off for the holiday. So the Saturday before, we packed everything up and off we went.

Because we had an entire week to relax and play ... that is exactly what we did!

We ate popcorn and watched movies with Cousin Austin

We played at the arcade

We roller skated at the Fun Park

Even the wee little ones got in some roller skating

Hmmm ... who was better Gma or Livi???

cosmic bowling anyone

Ahhh - my baby still loves me!

Competition written all over their faces

Can't forget about playtime at the park. Future site of Aunt Kim & Uncle Jer's casa

Twins from different mommas

We didn't just play our entire time there. Nope not at all! We also HAD to take the kiddies to see Santa. Hannah & Olivia were all over him. As you can see, Olivia didn't even care that her dress was up around her waist. But as for cousin ... nope Austin wasn't having it.

Can't forget that SWEET face

Hannah wouldn't let Aunt Cameron out of her site

As always, we had an absolute blast! Thanksgiving dinner was GREAT, Austin & Livi followed each other around like a little old couple, Hannah hung out with the "old" people (my baby is all grown up), I got lots and lots of socks at the sock sale, and Chiki & I got to go to a movie. Not just any old movie ... a grown up movie ha!!

Thanks Seamons clan for a great Thanksgiving break

NAVY

Since today is Veteran's Day, I thought I would post some pictures from when Chiki was in the Navy. Some of them are of him while he was on the cruise ships, while others are of him and some of his co workers and buddies. ENJOY

WORK

Chiki worked on the F14's

Not sure which cruise he was on, but these people were in his shop

People who worked on the deck with Chiki

A LITTLE BIT OF PLAY

A little momentum from the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders

Yes, we already know :)

The Truman. One of the boats Chiki lived on

YUCK ... enough said

I think this was in the United Emirates

Happy Veteran's Day Boy's!

All Dressed Up

Halloween

Halloween is one of my most favorite holidays, especially with little kids. They all look to cute in their costumes!

Here is what we dressed up as this year:

Miss Olivia as Micky Mouse

Miss Hannah as Cinderella

Me as a Munchkin from the Wizard Of Oz

Chiki sporting his witch costume

One more pic of Chiki as a witch. He was a trooper for letting me "try" do to his make up

To our surprise Olivia kept her costume on most of the night, Hannah was in absolute heaven being dressed as a princess and wearing make up (not a shocker), Chiki's wig and hat only last about an hour, and many people thought I was a Trick or Treater in my teens ... I may be short people but that doesn't mean that I am 12.

We had a good time sporting our costumes, and also seeing what everyone else was dressed up as.

To those people who stole our pumpkin candles ... at least save us the hassle of having to make the walk with the heavy pumpkins to the dumpster, and just take it all!
