Yes we have been busy....

So it’s a new year and maybe I should add some updates you think! WHEW I’m not really sure were to start it has been a crazy December for us…..Micky turned 30!! So we flew to Vegas to celebrate. He was totally shocked. (I still can’t believe I pulled it off) No we did not win big but we made up for it in fun. We traveled with Micky’s sister and her husband and yes they still like us! We also got to meet Micky’s cousin Jason from California. The best time was we all went to shoot guns….OMG I was so crazy scared. Everyone had a great time. The highlight of the trip for me was the Sephora store seriously could have just dropped me off and picked me up 3 days later. I held great restraint and only bought about $70 in makeup/tools/perfume.

All of us landing in Las Vegas (we have been up since 3:30 AM and still look great!)











Me, Micky, Mark and Heidi after an hour and half hike to breakfast! We should have just gotten a taxi!

Here are all the crazy shooters! YES, they let all of them have a gun!

Me, Micky and Jason taking one last picture before he has to leave us.

Now moving on to the exciting part Miss Samantha. We had a first big snow storm in December. Now remember back to when you were a kid and how much fun snow days where. Micky we pump to take Sammie sledding and throw around some snow balls. You know after we were done snow plowing the driveway which should take only a mire 20 minutes at best with the snow blower. WELL that is if the damn thing works! Sammie heard a lot of swearing out of that garage that day...my favorite was we didn't pay $500 for this piece of "crap" machine not to work when we have a "freaken" snow storm. I mean now it's funny but then BIG time serious upset. The stupid thing is still a little grouchy but Micky has figured it out (thank goodness). We did manage to have some fun that day though.....


I'm not sure if Daddy had more fun or Sammie.

I just LOVE her giggle smile in this picture.

Now let's see I think we had a holiday or two in there...oh yes Christmas of which I have many pictures. I'm only putting a small fraction of them on. LOL We were blessed to have a wonderful, slightly stressful but we lived through it Christmas season. Sammie was completely spoiled by that damn Santa. We are going to have to talk to that guy. She was so much fun and loved every present. She did get a little overwhelmed by opening so many gifts but she loved them all.

Come on remember to smile nice....wait what is going on with your hair.

What is that face??

Here Sammie is showing off her new dress from Grammy Chris. Oh and she had to dance with her daddy.

Grandma and Sammie showing off the crazyness that is x-mas with the Cogswell's

Sammie has to help aunt Megan. NO way can she do it on her own.

YUP uncle Jason can't do it either! She loved helping them if you can't tell.

Totally just like her daddy. Has to show off her new Christmas gifts. She wore that bowa thing all darn day.

Sammie can't mommy get just one nice picture of you in front of the Christmas tree?

Come on mom NO MORE Pictures. This is x-mas day in her new Bell dress!

This is x-mas morning. Can you see the little smile??

Well we have had a very busy month and I hope you all have had just as much fun and adventures. Yes one of the New Years Resolutions was to remember to update the blog more. So it's seven days and I'm just getting to it...well we can't do everything.
