AARON & RYAN...also known as CRAZY AARON & RYAN..

I have never seen two grown men as crazy as AARON & RYAN. These two have fun no matter what venture they are embarking on. They recently found out about an auction that was going on and went and bid on some unmarked boxes and storage sheds. They were able to get alot of great stuff that they have already started to sell, however, some of the stuff was pretty silly. They had to share these items with me. They make me laugh!

HOW MUCH FOR THESE SOMBREROS?

COSTUME CHANGE!!!!!!!


My little Ballerina Daughter has turned mortician...! She is home visiting with us this Christmas season. Usually at Christmas time I am used to seeing her in a tutu or a tiara, this year she comes with this shirt! Wow...I have some adjusting to do! Love you LuLu

WELCOME BABY JACOB...

Grandbaby #11 and my son in law and proud father Brett.

And BABY makes THREE!

Proud sisters Evelyn and Lydia

Some Delivery Day Photos...

Finding a vein is somewhat difficult for Adrienne.
Adrienne did elect to have Melissa come into the surgery room with Brett for the C-section. LuLu was so excited.

JACOB'S BIRTHDAY!

We went to the hospital early the morning of the 27th of December. Here is Audrey comforting Adrienne. These two sure are the most ideal twins. When in stress, no need for mom or husband, just give me my twin sister.

Trynity Rose comes for Christmas

Aaron picked up Trynity the day after Christmas so she could spend some time with him. Here she is on her new horse that her daddy was so excited to give to her. She loves it!

GAME ON......

Aaron hosted GAME NIGHT...CALL OF DUTY this past Saturday night and I have never seen GROWN MEN (and one teenager) have so much fun. Aaron and Ryan set up four (4) TVs and four (4) X BOXES... and competed against each other and as a team playing Aaron's favorite War Game .. CALL OF DUTY. Aaron has really been looking forward to this. He purchased DOG TAGS for all participants. Myself and his sisters made food from the four (4) different countries... RUSSIA, GERMANY, UNITED STATES, and JAPAN. Aaron was so appreciative of our help...he kept thanking us...in between shooting people.

RYAN and NATE...

Ryan and Nate really got into things when they arrived at the party in costume. It made Aaron laugh. Aaron has the greatest laugh...

Zeke can't wait until he's old enough to play war games like his uncles and cousin.
Zach enjoying the party.
Two weeks from delivery and Adrienne wants to help with party. Photo was taken after all of the food was on the table. Tired?

A DAY WITH THE MY GIRLS...



This morning Adriennne called me and asked what I was doing for the day. I told her I didn't feel like working and so I took the day off (it's easy to do when you are the boss of a very small office). Anyway, she came into town with her two little girls and we spent the day together. It was so much fun just having some relaxing time with Adrienne and the little beauties. Evelyn and Lydia decided they wanted to take treats to Uncle Aaron and surprise him at work, so we stopped at Maverick and bought him some of his favorite chips and some swedish fish. He was really surprised and I think it made him really happy. I love seeing him smile.


After lunch we took Evelyn to her Kindergarten class. She was so excited for me to see her school. I ended up going into her classroom and introducing myself to her teacher (who reminded me of Lily Tomlin). She let me take this cute photo of Evelyn in the classroom. The simplist things like a Nana visiting their classroom makes them happy. I regret to say that this was my first visit.

Beautiful Evelyn in her classroom.


Look at how proud she was that I came into the room to meet her teacher and snap her photo. I love you my sweet Evie.

NUTCRACKER MEMORIES.....


Melissa is the soloist up front...


This will be the first time in 17 years that I have not gone and seen Melissa perform in either BALLET WEST NUTCRACKER or NEVADA BALLET THEATRE NUTCRACKER. I thought I was doing okay until I was shopping somewhere the other day and they had that damn nutcracker music going. I could feel tears starting ... and had to leave my cart in the middle of the aisle and head to my car. Here are some photos of NUTCRACKER PASTS....

CALL OF DUTY .... GAME NIGHT


Aaron's sisters decided to celebrate Aaron's homecoming with an all night game night.
The party will be next Saturday night (the 13th) and will go all night. Here is a copy of the invitation that Heather designed and was passed out to eight of Aaron's favorite gaming friends... check back for photos of this crazy celebration. It's great to be loved ... isn't it son?

Delivering Invitations and Dog Tags to Connor & Zach

EVELYN UPSET ABOUT SANTA


Melissa posted this photo on her blog and I showed it to Evelyn...
She broke down in tears and really thought that Santa had passed away. She just started to cry. We had to explain that Aunt LuLu is going to mortuary science school and she thinks this kind of humor is funny. (me too)

Poor Evelyn....SANTA ISN'T DEAD!

PHOTOS of CHRISTMAS'S PAST....


It's fun to look at some of these old photos of CHRISTMAS'S PAST. This photo was taken the first year Zach and Kelly were married, that's why Zach isn't in the photo.

Before Aaron & Melissa.....

AUDREY (also known as) SKINNY BITCH.......


I am so proud of Audrey. She has been working out alot and watching her weight. Isn't she looking great? Audrey was at a baby shower for a friend a few weeks ago, and while she was inside the house at the party, Heather and I drove up to her car and Heather wrote 'SKINNY BITCH' on the window of her car in lipstick. Then we drove off and waited until she came out of the party to go home. She called us immediately after inspecting the evidence, and we tried not to laugh, but she knew it had to be us...WE HAVE TOO MUCH FUN!
