Cotton Bowl 2012!

We had a fun night Friday night watching the Razorbacks win the Cotton Bowl (on tv).  Cousin Johnathan came over to watch it with us.  The Razorbacks beat Kansas St. 29-16!!  Go Hogs!

Woooo,....Pig.....Sooie!!!

Is it Really January???

The temperatures here have been crazy nice for this time of year, like in the 60's, so the boys have really enjoyed riding their new bikes they got at Christmas and playing outside with friends!

1.2.12- Papa Leaves for Pennsylvania

Papa left to go back to Pennsylvania pipelining.  He and Mimi stopped by on the way to the airport to say goodbye.  We got a few pics before he left.

The Siebert Guys

Silly faces!!

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve was bittersweet.  We were excited to get to spend the weekend kid-free in Kansas City, but we were also sad because we were having to take Grandpa and Gigi to the airport to go back to Colorado.  We had a great 10 days with them!

Grandpa and Gigi with the boys

After Josh and I dropped them off at the airport, we headed back into the city.  We just LOVE Kansas City and miss living there so much!  I can't believe it's been a little over 6 years since we moved from there!  We had a great New Years Eve going out to eat and then to the movies to watch Mission Impossible 3-Ghost Protocol.  The next day we got up and did a little shopping at Cabela's, Nebraska Furniture Mart and The Legends mall.  We had a great time, but were SO ready to get back and see the boys!

Headed into downtown over the Broadway Bridge

Of course we just HAD to hit up our favorite Mexican restaurant while we were there.  The name has changed aka Sol Azteca, but the food is still great!

Of course we just had to ring in the New Year with a little sparkling white grape juice! :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Two Christmases

On Christmas Day afternoon, we headed over to Green Forest to celebrate Christmas with the Collins' and Sieberts.  We had such a great time and were blessed with so many wonderful gifts.

We first headed to my parents for Christmas with them.

Our cute little reindeer, nephew Hayes

Pa-Pa and Carter

I remember when there used to be just 4 stockings up there....wow...

We got Hudson some tractors.

Mom's church friend, Alphina, joined us and we were so happy to have her there!

Collin got his talking clone helmet

And Carter got his Darth Vader one.

Carter was super excited to get some Batman pj's

The boys were happy to get the "Pop the Pig" game they asked for.

Collin got a new fishing game for the wii

Hayes loved his new shoes that we got him. :-)

Pa-Pa even tried on the clone mask

Carter and Hudson in their matching pj's.  Poor Hudson looks like he's in a choke hold. :-)

Next we headed to Mimi and Papa's for Christmas with them, Uncle Joey and Grandpa and Gigi.

Carter loved his new Transformer Bumblebee hat.

Collin got new Star Wars sheets for his bed which he loves!

Carter was excited about his new Batman lunchbox

The boys all got new Nerf guns, so there was lots of fighting and target practice that day.

Were were so happy to have Grandpa and Gigi with us from Colorado!

Mimi had this cool new skateboard swing made for the boys...and they LOVED it!
