~Christmas 2009~

We had a Fabulous Christmas this year. It was so much fun having Drake be a little older and understanding a little more. I was so excited I couldn't sleep!!! So I woke up around 6:30 and watched tv for alittle bit...couldn't wait any longer..around 7 I went in and woke Drake up!

  I asked him if he wanted to see what Santa brought to him, he told me "NO!" grabbed his blanket and rolled over. I wasn't having any luck....Skyler came in and said, "Drake do you want to see if Santa brought you any TRUCKS?"  I wish I had my camera handy to catch the look on Drake's face..he looked up and with JOY in his eyes said,"TRUCKS" jumped up and handed mommy his buddy (blanket) and he was ready to play with Trucks!  SoRry for the picture overload!

Santa Brought him a basketball hoot...Drake calles it a hoot

All in all we had a Great day! It's great to have a day to spend with family.  We love all of you & hope you all had a wonderful day as we did!

~SANTA...not so sure~

The annual Vineyard Family Christmas party was yesterday, Sunday 13. Santa ALWAYS comes to visit the kids.  Well, this is Drake sitting on Santa's lap!  It's so funny that he DOESN'T want to sit on Santa's lap, because he LOVES Santa. He just isn't so sure about him up close I guess. Whenever we go to the mall,watch a movie with Santa in it, or he see's a picture of Santa he is So EXCITED and either waves, points while saying"Ho..Ho..Ho". I guess he takes after his dad when it comes to SANTA..(skyler cried too when he was little!) 
  I just couldn't resist on taking this picture though...one day he will laugh!

**Snow Day**

On Sunday the 6, my Dad called and said "Make sure you bring your stuff for sledding". So we packed up all the winter gear and headed to my parents(like we do EVERY Sunday) for dinner and Sledding.  Drake was so EXCITED to play in the SNOW!  Skyler put Drake on his lap for a ride on the sled,*I didn't get a still picture of that only video sorry* He loved it!! Didn't really like when the SNOW went in his face!  When they came back Drake had the BIGGEST SMILE on his face!  Then it was DADDY'S turn....*see the excitement on his face* Sled attached to 4-wheeler= good time! Thanks Dad for the fun time!

*daddy, what are you going to do with that?*

*kid at heart*

*mom it's cold out here*

*i can't put my arms down!*

*poppa, drake,auntie ry*

It's a.....

I went to the Dr. today to find out what the Gender of our baby will be...I didn't have anyone come with me because I wanted it to be a Surprise...So this is how I told Skyler the big news...

It's a BOY!!!

his name will be BOSTON

We are so Excited to be having another little boy joining our family and can't wait until May for him to arrive...

p.s. I found my camera so more pictures to come..when I feel up to it!

~Blah~

Well...I lost the camera (sad day) So there won't be any fun pictures for awhile until we get a new one. I have looked EVERYWHERE!!!
What have we been up to????
Hardman's had Family pictures done! It's been quite sometime since the last time that was done..like 7 years ago...so it was well needed! While we had family pictures Drake was NOT so happy. When he did get to ride a horse (had a picture on the camera) he LOVED it! He was ALL smiles! When it was back to pictures he cried..don't know what his deal was that day, he is usually really good and says"CHEESE"
We have been keeping really busy just doing family things and running from place to place. I know I have gotten to be a TERRIBLE blogger *I'm sorry* I sometimes feel like I have nothing to blog about.

I do have to say...does anyone else HATE doing laundry?? It has be come the BIGGEST pain iun my side. I know it's just going to get worse with another child on the way, but I guess the things we do for kids! I wish I could have a Laundry Lady that came once or twice a week!
Well those are my thoughts!

Am I behind or WHAT!!!

Well, Life has been very crazy for us this last month or so. I thought I was doing good at updating our blog, but I guess I was WRONG!
We have been to the Circus..spending time with family...finding out we are ADDING to our FAMILY.....getting the SWINE FLU..and trying to just live....
I will post pictures when I get the engery to take them off my camera...keep looking and checking back in on us...
