A CRAZY Bunco night

This picture was taken in the middle of the madness. We had our monthly Bunco game last night. After a fun filled few hours in the "country" we all parted ways and headed out to help one of our players with her broken/dead car. 10 Moms, two dead cars (after it was all said and done), one set of jumper cables (mine because I am Johnny on the Spot with things like this), and blocking an ENTIRE County Road (with 4 cars), we got things under control and have a good fun memories.
These girls are awesome (obviously myself included)...and in our defense while Trent came with some tools at the end to solve the ultimate issue, we totally had this under control prior to him arriving.

Getting caught up!

Alright, so here we are and I am finally getting caught up on my blogging. Hello 2010, and January is almost half over. Time flies...
Santa brought Reese some super fun Elmo bubble bath. We turned bath time fun again. For a while it was torture getting her to to take a bath because she knew it meant bed time. Now Elmo saves us every night.
Cooking...
Snack time. I'm not going to lie for the first three days of 2010 Reese and I stayed in PJ's the whole time. We didn't leave the house so why get dressed.
Reese has given up taking naps unless she's in the car or dog tired. At this point I have started taking what I can get and if she falls asleep I leave her where she is and thank my lucky stars for any amount of nap time she gets in. Exhibit A: Reese falls asleep on the floor, on the washcloth (by her own doing) with keys in her hand. She continued to sleep like that for an hour and a half.
Singing
How Reese swings
Still singing, this time on the Aggie stone
Hanging out in the COLD weather while Ryan drips the faucets and covers the plants. To say Reese is a fan of the cold weather is an understatement. I could not keep this girl inside.

The Shiner Circus was in town so we figured we'd hit it up and see how she enjoyed it. It was a good trial run before the Ringling Bros. comes to town. She did really well for the 2 hour show and she was very entertained. She LOVED the animals!
Waiting for the Circus to start
I totally did this at home the other day, sadly I had no one to document it since Reese doesn't know how to work the camera.
Elephants!

Some more random pics from Christmas

Here are some more random pictures from Leslie's camera. Yes, they are from Christmas and I'm rather late putting them up, but I wanted you all to see them none the less.
Mom got us all matching PJ's for Xmas.
I like this picture because you can't really tell where our bodies start or end.

Yes, my sister got Ryan, Reese and I all these ski masks. It's an inside joke really but the picture is still very funny. Obviously Leslie is wearing Ryan's.
Sisters!
Leslie also got everyone rocks with their faces painted on them. Pretty freaking sweet gift if you ask me.

Videos

I realize that these videos are way over due but take what you can get. The first video is from November. It's just a hodge podge of things she did over that month. Second is from December. Enjoy! Pics of SUPER cold weather to come.
