Ho! Ho! Ho!


After talking about Santa for months Zoe still cried when she sat on his lap.

The mall has a Choo Choo train that goes around the stores and we saw it when while waiting for Santa. We finally found it and turns out it cost $3.00 per person and I only had $2.00 in cash. Well the train guy decided that we could all ride for the $2.00 :)

Cory thinks they wanted the train to look full and fun so they would get more customers. Lucky us!!

Carousel fun..Zoe was on a Reindeer first but decided she wanted to be on the Dragon instead. Who can blame her the Dragon is pretty cool.

Christmas Eve she just opened her Christmas jammies..they have Owls on them.

Christmas morning..just what she wanted..a potty! Trying it out for the first time. I guess we'll have to teach her that the pants come down when using the potty.

Christmas is lots of work! A girl gets tired..time for a rest.

Rest over..back to work opening her Christmas Stocking!

Zoe got a shopping cart with "real" food (aka empty boxes with pictures on them)to put in it. She also got a baby doll that she likes to cart around the house. The Baby doll is by far the favorite present this year.

Zoe lucked out and got one of the most desired gifts this year a Zhu Zhu pet hamsters!! It's really cute and runs around all crazy. I'm sure the dog will eat it within the week.

Zoe finally gave up on opening gifts and decided to play with her baby doll. Daddy was given the task of opening the rest of her gifts. Spoons..just what she needed :)

Family Christmas picture..Cory wasn't feeling so well in this first picture. Don't worry..we have our Christmas cracker hats on so I'm sure he'll be feeling better in no time.

Excellent..Cory is back to being his usual holly jolly self.

Such a fun Christmas!


Sledding the day after Christmas! So much fun :)





Hope you all had a great Christmas and wishing you a supreme New Year!

Lazy Jullee over the summer




Wow..no update since August! So so sad! We are doing good and really really enjoyed the summer. I found out that I am a lousy gardener! I planted 3 zucchini plants, 2 yellow squash plants, and 5 tomato plants. To this date I have grown 3 zucchini's, one yellow squash, and a handful of tomatoes. Pretty lame! In fact snails ate my first 2 zucchini plants! I hate snails!

In August we went to Yellowstone with our good friends Angie, Erich, and Owen. It was a fantastic vacay! Angie's Aunt and Uncle have a cabin in Island Park that we got to stay at. It was a very inexpensive and super fun trip and we hope they will invite us to do it again next year (hint hint). As a souvenir Zoe got a special Buffalo stuffed toy and she loves it so much! And it is hilarious listening to her say Buffalo..which sounds suspiciously similar to marshmallow.

Zoe had her pictures taken for 18 months old and they turned out pretty darn cute! She is such a sweet girl! I got her a cute little flower bow for her hair. But where she still doesn't have much hair and enjoyed playing with it it was hard to keep the bow in place. In fact I think it is in a different position in each picture.

We have now been in our house for a year!! And the day before our home warranty ran out we called about our finicky hot water heater and it was replaced for a small fee compared to what it would have cost us to replace it on our own! Nice!

We got another dog..this time a puppy and he is an all black Standard Poodle pup. He has been such a joy..now if only we can get him fully potty trained. We had a tough time naming him..it took about a week to finally come up with a name that both Cory and I could agree on. Where he is all black I thought a dark name would be good so we named him Lucius after Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter. Great dog!

That's about it..I hope I post more coming up cause my blog is pretty boring right now.
