Merry Christmas

12/25/2009 10:56:00 PM

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
The boys could not have had a more wonderful day.

No ONE was more excited than Eli...
he is still so excited and young...
I just love it!
Isaac's favorite gift was this boat...
he kept climbing in it and watching television.
(i just hope that he doesn't start eating it)
Who's the most excited in this picture??
Isaac laid in my lap like that for the entire morning...
something's still a little off with him...
and Chris found THIS is the garage.
(now...don't think my money tree started growing...
this car is a 1996 and will need LOTS of TLC...but,
the guys look forward to many weekends in the garage)
I have more pics and videos to share...
but, I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas...
and know that we had a great day.

I EVEN cooked!
BUT...not after we tried to Chinese buffet...and there were TWO tour buses there...a LINE out the door!
IT's a good thing that I had already cooked a turkey and was preparing for a big dinner.

and we ate.
and now we need to exercise more.
the story of our lives!

(Eli is reading over my shoulder again...
Eli is a dork!)
I know you are reading this Eli...that is why I am typing it.
Stop reading it.
stop it now.
go to bed!

Blogging from my phone while snuggled in bed...

Isaac has been throwing up constantly for the last few days. We even went to the peds this morning to get his flu shots....yep, he slimed me in the waiting room. He isn't throwing up because of a stomach flu...it's his thick saliva that he can't swallow. So, today...I finally asked our ped for a suction machine (so I don't have to keep using a little snot sucker). Let's hope that insurance will approve it and I can help Isaac clean his little mouth and throat out......at least until he learns how to swallow!

Now...I already announced this on Facebook...but, everyone is invited to MY birthday party on Thursday at Chuck E Cheese. We will be at the one on Eastern at 11:00am and I will share my pizza, drinks, and tokens!!! ( don't I have the best kids ever for throwing me such a great party?)

Tomorrow....I will try really hard to post pics and new videos. I just need more time in my days!! And...no...I still haven't sent out any Xmas cards. Maybe next year. I have started making cookies though....and im making a fee pies tomorrow (pumpkin, of course)

And...Hollie. Do NOT leave goodies at my house when I'm not home. SomeONE eats them all without sharing (you know that I can't mention names because my blog is monitored for quality assurance)

Dang. My fingers hurt....so, ta ta for now
(I wish this phone had spell check)

A smarty pants

12/20/2009 11:05:00 PM

Mr. Eli was the ONLY kiddo in his class to get on the "A" honor roll!
Can't you just see the excitement in his eyes??

Here are my two boys celebrating at school!
This weekend, my sister, Christy, came down from Utah and brought her FOUR kids! WHEW...that was a houseful...and it was so fun! There's Kenny (8), Luke (5), Catherine (2), Jake (2 or 3 months). Here's my jealous Isaac and little Jakey. I think I'm ready for another one...don't you??
ok..maybe NOT just yet...but, it sure was fun!

THIS is Catherine. She's Isaac's age. She scares Isaac to death! The moment that she walks over to him...he starts crying. She means well...she likes to bring him his toys and paci...
BUT...he just doesn't like anyone in his space...and he cries.
THIS is Catherine. She is Isaac's age. She scares Katie, our dog, to death!
Poor doggy kept hiding in Chris' room to stay away from her.
BUT...she had fun (I think).
And for Master Isaac. He's been a little "off". He doesn't quite need O2 yet. But, he's started throwing up twice a day...so, something's brewing. Other than those periods of the day where he just isn't acting normal....he's a wild man. We have to constantly find him in the house. He's either in the bathroom licking something gross, in the laundry room looking for shoes to lick, or outside (without permission) licking rocks. You know...Eli's nickname is "Lick"....but, I think we need to give that name to Isaac~
He's still as cute as EVER! We all made it to church today (including Kenny, my nephew that stayed with us for the weekend). It was a great morning...wonderful music, great lessons, and lots of fun chats with friends. I LOVE it when a day starts off like that!
Tomorrow...we're meeting Lisa (another heart mama) at the park (and Mandy's--other sister) is back in town...so, we're taking ALL the kids! It's suppose to be sunny and 60...I hope so!

Christmas music to get you in the MOOD!

12/17/2009 09:46:00 PM




This was Christopher's FIRST song at the concert. Can you see him? He's on the end, second riser from the top. (doesn't he look like James standing there?)
James is my little brother...Chris looks like he should have been their child.

The Rollers will NOT be sending out Christmas cards this year. WELL...I mean..if I get some crazy rush to take a pic, make the cards, address envelopes, put stamps on all of them...AND actually get them to the post office. Don't worry...I"ll wish you all a Merry Christmas on that day! BUT...also...I was trying to cut Isaac's hair today...and for the first time EVER...he threw a fit...and I cut a bug chunk out of the side, I didn't get to finish...and oh my goodness...he can't be on a Christmas card (unless I put a hat on him)!

So...maybe I'll send out cards next year!

Guess what??
JUAN delivered our television today! Joe set it up tonight...and it is glorious!!!
bye bye tiny tv!
(don't ask how I know who Juan is...LONG story!)

I went to see Logan and Karen today! They live SO FAR away now...It's like taking a drive up to Utah! BUT...the drive was SO worth it!! Thanks for letting me see you guys today!

Here's the pic we took on the Santa train last week. I suppose I could photoshop the people out of the back ground...and put THIS pic on holiday cards...
OR...you could just print out a copy and write a little holiday message on it for me!
thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Notice the SHORT SLEEVES! The weather this week has been GORGEOUS!
Sending sunshine your way!!

Teenager in Tux...

12/15/2009 09:45:00 PM



Isaac has a LOVE other than Gabba Gabba...
It would be Baby Tad...
this poor frog is SO old (it use to be Eli's)..
and Isaac just adores it.
Seriously...look at that face!

Look at him...he's the happiest little peanut!
and the main attraction for the night...
My Chris in his tux...
singing so sweet at the school choir concert.

When did he get so old??
That's the Chris I'm use to!
Peek-a-boo...
where are you??

There he is!
It was another busy day...

but, we ended at Christopher's choir concert. Joe was able to make it...
it was perfect.
Those kiddos are SO talented!
and we topped it off with pizza at CiCi's!...
(gotta love some pizza buffet--especially when no one wants to cook!)

Isaac is doing fantastic. He's getting a runny nose...I hope it's from all the dust we've been kicking up cleaning around here! (benadryl is on board...that'll dry him up!)

Eli is out of school tomorrow for teacher conferences...
Did I tell you that I had mine yesterday and he's on the A honor roll!

SO...he'll be my errand boy, along with side-kick Isaac.....and we'll see how much we can get done!

MOM...I will post videos of the concert tomorrow.

Dancing Eli...Turtle Isaac...

12/14/2009 10:57:00 PM

Isaac.
He is not only our BEAVER (you got it Kelly!)....he's also our little TURTLE!
He still eats in his bouncy seat (because he can't swallow sitting straight up)...
anyway...once he's finished eating...if I don't promptly remove him from the bouncer...he decides to flip it over and crawl around the house!

Seriously...this boy is getting into everything!
Here's the flip...
Notice...I was going to get a rag to wipe off his face...
he's still got food coming out of his mouth!
Look at those leg muscles!
another shot of the food in his mouth...
head down again...
legs up!
He's a MAD MAN!
He's threw up twice today. What a yucky way to end the day.
We did go and see our ENT today...and for ONCE in his life...Isaac's ears look PERFECT!
(I wish I could take a pic of his ear canal for YOU!)

Here's a video from Eli's Christmas program. He's towards the front in a red shirt and khaki pants. (he gets his dance moves from his dad!)

I have a few more videos of that night...but, don't want to bore you all in one post!


Chris.
Tomorrow night is HIS Christmas choir concert...I'll bring the flip video (nope Jen...I haven't found mine yet...but, we DID find Chris')
Someone is a little spoiled....don't you think??
