Ain't Life Grand...

I haven't blogged for quite some time, because quite frankly my life is very un-bloggable these days! I have spent the last week with a sick kid with 105 fever, doing absolutely nothing... well aside from about fifty episodes of Little Einsteins and Handy Manny, and mine and Gavin's nightly awakenings because he can't sleep and then needs a drink and then is sad, so then he comes in our bed and kicks me in the face all night long. My wardrobe consists of sweats, sweats and more sweats. I can't stand to squeeze my large belly into anything tight, because it makes me suddenly feel the urge to have a tantrum! (probably sounds weird) Ah...motherhood, pregnant in January, what more could a girl want :) Can't wait to have another one!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Gavin Checkin' out the LOOT from Santa. Lightning McQueen scooter was a major highlight, too bad we are sitting in 10 feet of snow, so he get's to cruise around the house for now.

Gretch chefing up some delightful dishes for our family Christmas Eve Feast!

It wouldn't be Christmas without the nativity story acted out in full costume! Gavin chose the part of shepard, (much to Addie's dismay because she wanted him to HOLD STILL and be baby Jesus so she could carry him...um-as you can see that didn't happen :) Instead we had a multi racial nativity. ie: baby Jesus.
Christmas Eve morning breakfast. Gavin's request WAFFLES! Yum.
Sledding on New Years.

Frog, No school bus...No FROGGY...

Gavin turned TWO today. We celebrated yesterday with the family. This is a pic of all of the party guests:)...and Gavin showing his mouthful of cake.

This is the final cake that Gavin decided upon. I like to give him choices...which is good...but usually ends up being ridiculous because he is two and how many definite opinions can he have:). We narrowed it down to school bus cake or froggy cake. Finally after much debate Froggy was chosen. Next was frosting flavor...vanilla or chocolate? Gavin: "Nilla, no Chocolate, no nilla" and on an on, so we did BOTH.

Make A WISH!

Chowin' the Froggy cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - TO THE CUTEST KID AROUND!!!

It's a Boy, and yummy turkey!

We had a fun Thanksgiving week. Tuesday we had the ultrasound and found out we are having another BOY!! Which I am now very excited about, in the moment I must confess I had visions of little dresses and decorating a little girls room...but I kinda knew deep down it would be a boy. Gavin will have a little sidekick and that will be so much fun, rough and tumble boys:) I know how to do that! I will not be scanning the pictures of the ultrasound because the face shot looks pretty much exactly like Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas...but the cutest darn Jack Skellington ever!!:) Then that evening us Nash women went to THE MOVIE...TWILIGHT...NOT SO GOOD. I was entertained I will give them that much, because I was laughing histarically through half of it, but very let down. But after Edward in the Books not much can compete. Ah Well ... Then we ate thanksgiving dinner at Rob's parents house, which was delicious. All in all a very fun week!

Trick-or-Treat!

Gavin taking a break from the tiresome trick-or-treating to jump into a pile of leaves (dumping half of his candy in there) You can tell he had a fun Halloween.

Gavin and cousin Ayva hitting the town. SO CUTE!

Testing out one of our treats before we went out trick-or-treating.

Gavin and friend Bailey posing in their costumes.

the finished masterpieces... Carving pumpkins

My husband is Edward!

You can all be jealous Rob took the quiz and HELLO---he is Edward!! I think I will be looking at Rob in a new light:)



I am...


Not sure if the description fits all the way, but I'll go with it :) Some of the questions I couldn't decide on so I took it twice and the other one came out Bella so I guess I am a cross between the two, but they are both Edwards favorites! I know I am a dork, but you know you will all do this too!!!

I Love Halloween!!!!...

These are a few of our pumpkins from our very first garden! I of course had no idea what I was doing when I planted the garden; so I planted about six or seven pumkin hills in about a five foot space, and did the same with watermelons, and also zucchini(much to everyone's amusement who knows better, and apparently that IS everyone else!) So needless to say we had pumpkins and watermelons growing EVERYWHERE, and zucchini coming out our ears! We have all learned to love zucchini bread:) Gavin was very excited to pick them and put them out on the porch. You gotta love fall. Crisp air, pumpkins, crunching leaves, and best of all Halloween! We went to the "Barnyard Boo" at Thanksgiving Point the other day. It was fun and of course completely overwhelming...I didn't know it was the first day of fall break for school kids so it was a barnyard in every sense of the word! But we made it through the crowds, Gav got a pumpkin tatoo, frosted a cookie, rode a pony, threw bean bags into an enormous pumkin, a kids dream, until it all becomes to much and then tantrums begin and it is very much time to go home :)Here are some pic's of the day.

Found this witch very amusing stood and laughed at it for ten minutes!

Look at my sweet tattoo!

Who needs to stand back at the throwing line?
