Christmas Tradition

Kicking off the Christmas season in the usual way. Polar Express by the freshly lit tree with cookies and hot chocolate!

The Fun Never Stops

The simplest things in life are so much more fun with these guys.

Midnight Picnics

This has become our little tradition to have Del Taco or Taco Bell picnics in bed at midnight! Hahaha, seriously something we look forward to all week!

Thank You, I Love You

In the word of Buddy the elf, I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU!!! Kinect is one of the greatest inventions ever. Admittedly I was skeptical and even unsure if I really wanted one. Now that I have one I don't know how I would live without it. I was worried I would play it for a while and then just go back to playing Halo or Gears. My experience has been quite the opposite. I try playing my favorite hardcore games and can't stand the fact that all I'm doing is pushing buttons on a controller when I could be putting myself in the game literally controlling every move with my body. I'm literally dripping in sweat after 30min of playing. I wake up sore but can't wait for more. Mindy even loves it and if you know her you know that's a huge deal! I would love to get into detail about everything I love about the four games I have but my thumbs get tired and I'm wasting time sitting on my butt emailing when I could be playing Kinect!!

My Tech Junkie Wife

When did Mindy get so techie? New iPod, BlackBerry, new laptop. Kinda makes me super extra jealous!

Lookie What I Can Do

Krew's out growing and out muscling his swaddle.

Cheese!

Ryler loves to do "arms" with Froo.

Chubbiness=Happiness

This dude couldn't be happier.... Or fatter ;)

The Holy War Begins

Ryler gettin' ready to throw down right there in the store. Settle this one on the field boys.

Woah

Reason #1 why I'm grateful I have a garage. Also reason #1 I'm not happy I didn't pull into it last night!

Santa's Helper

Our little reindeer boy.

Hey Froo

Hahaha, if I haven't mentioned it already Ryler calls Krew "Froo". Probably one of our favorite things he says.

Go Utes!

Future O-lineman right here.

All In A Night's Work

Boy is it the weekend or what? What started out as a simple trip to the store turned into a shake-run and then a dollar menu dash followed by a last second mozzarella stick craving! By the time we got home we forgot we went grocery shopping!

My Bro

Just another Saturday morning hangin' with my boys. They're getting more fun by the minute. Ryler can't wait til Krew can really play with him.

Gaming Update

So there's a lot going on in my own little personal world of gaming. But I'd rather spend my limited time playing rather than writing about it. But briefly reviewed: Halo Reach is insane! Just sick silly awesome! First round of DLC is well worth the pick up too. Probably three of the top five maps for the game. Black Ops is nasty fun and replayability is pretty much unlimited. Trials HD came out with a hugenormous DLC pack called Big Thrills, and it's pretty much just that. Freaking love that game! Best use of MS points I've ever made. I'm super bumed that my all time favorite franchise has pushed the release date for Gears of War 3 back until November of NEXT YEAR! Somebody chainsaw me! But in the meantime I've talked myself into loving Kinect as a way to get the family involved and possibly some day approving of my gaming ways. It's on my secret wish list for Christmas so we'll see what Santa brings. Until then it's Game On!

Distractions

Lately I've gotten better at distracting Krew from his normal fussing routine until Mom can come to his rescue. It's fun for me and buys me some valuable play time.

Rock Star!

Could a 2 year old be any more hard core cool? In a word, no.

Thanksgiving Drive

Headed to Logan for the Hunsaker family Thanksgiving. Nearly 100 people in attendance. From sushi to rock climbing to service projects there's truly nothing like our Thanksgiving celebrations. This was one for the record books, and Krew's first!

Hey Baby

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I don't think words can describe what's going on here. Dude kills me!
