Jon and I have been wanting to take an Old Time photo for a long time. Several of my siblings, Jon's parents, Jon's Grandparents all had a antique photo. I wasn't so keen on all the booze in the photo and told her I didn't want to hold the bottle. If you find this offensive I guess I can remove it. It was fun and I suggest if you ever get a chance to do a photo shoot like this do it. The photographer complimented Jon on his cowboy appearance. The rest of the day Jon kept saying I should have been a cowboy.

Clownin Around
The bowl was full of ketchup and hot dog slices. She was finished and I guess this was my punishment for not coming fast enough. She was laughing and calling for me, when I rounded the corner she said "look hat mom". So she had several baths that day. Such a clown.
My kid is the biggest knuckle head ever, lately she's been stealing Jon's glasses off the bathroom counter while he's showering and runs away wearing them! I'm not sure if this is really going to damage her eye sight, but I guess I shouldn't have encouraged it by asking her to wait while I took a picture. Funny thing was that she ran right to the TV, hmmm I hope that doesn't mean she'll need them anytime soon.
Yeah we only wear pjs around here. We've also been sick for the last two months it seems so give me a break. Maddie pulled out her scooter tonight and so we cruised around the house. She would say "ready go" and "stop", it was fun.

New Year's Eve with the Heslops
This year we rung in 2011 by playing games, eating good food, and "just dance"ing with the Heslops. Lots of good laughs that night, we are so lucky to have family so close. Thanks for hosting the party Brandon and Jenica it was a blast. Also brownie mix covered with toasted marshmellow and frosting is sinfully delicious.
Conner and Brandon having a dance off. Probably the top two dancers of the night. Beyonce better watch herself. Brandon you can thank me later for not posting that video.
Maddie and Presley being cute and funny. They gave each other turns spinning around in Jenica's salon chair. They came out wearing all the headbands they could find around their head and neck.
Happy New Year, may your 2011 be marvelous. I hope something fun and exciting happens this year, guess we'll see.

Walker Family Christmas
This year we met out at Gpa & Gma Walker's for the yearly Christmas present exchange. I whipped out my camera and tried to snap some pictures before my battery died. So I made sure to get one of my mom and dad, I decided I was going to edit since we don't think to get a nice picture of just the two of them. Sorry I removed your snowmen mom hope you'll forgive me, but I love this one of them. I mostly wanted to post these for Carrie and anyone that forgot or lost their camera (mom). Enjoy. We had a blast, but missed the Wintertons and little Macey.
Mom and Dad did not disappoint nor did anyone else. We loved all our presents this year, THANK YOU. I love my family.

Heslop Christmas
Best Christmas ever this year! Granted Santa got alittle out of control, so mom decided to pull out a few presents to return to the Walmart. Really my kid had her own couch, I swear I had added this all up. Lets a few of the best goods: my new S8100 Coolpix Nikon (compact w/ lots of good specs), Zune for Jon and all the accessories, shadow box for Jon's 100 yr old danish bible, Maddie's CHEAP kitchen set (hand built by yours truley, seriously folks every little peice took me 2 hours to assemble), Maddie's "awesome" scooter (she said it), family's new HP black friday special laptop, family little portable DVD player and movies galore. I just want you to know that last year there was nothing so this year I ended 2010 with a bang. I just finally ordered internet so by next week I should be blogging again. Hope your Christmas was just as merry and bright. I know its not about the presents, we actually got secret Santa"ed" and I decided to pay it forward. I made awesome treat plates complete with white chocolate popcorn, oreo truffles, and Jenica's merigue cookies. I'm still hoping to take a family picture SOON, sorry there was no Christmas card from us this year again. Darn snow, I'm totally over the whole white Christmas thing.
Thanks Gpa Vance for all the presents, above Jon is showing off some of his loot.
Jon's best present ever, look at his face. I was really excited to give him one whether he wanted it or not.
Shadow box that I got for half price at Hobby Lobby my new favorite store. Its not just for "crafty" people.
One of the awesome movies we got along with Ice Age, Robots, Over the Hedge, ECLIPSE :), Blindsind, and some movies for Jon.
Jammies that I bought over a year ago and have been dying to give her. SO CUTE!
She loves the scooter, now if she could just learn how to make it go on her OWN!

Catch Up
I haven't posted in quite a while, so incase you were starting to lose faith in me, I'm still here! I'm on the verge of getting some wireless access, halelujah. I started this post at least a month ago when the weather was still warm enough for me to go on walks and end at the park so Maddie could play. I since then have chickened out due to cold weather and joined Anytime Fitness. But I just love this picture so I thought I would share.I have family pictures coming up next week and am feeling so anxious. It could be that its the first time I've ever paid anyone for pictures or it could be that they will be permanent so I need to be VERY careful about my eating this week. So far, I guess I mean since yesterday, so good. Which is a huge feat, my daily diet was starting to always including treats. We found some shirts for Jon last weekend which was so fun, because he hates shopping. I mean like he literally buys a shirt from a department/mall type store maybe once a year. The rest come from the D.I. or freebie type shirts. I let the asian men in the middle of the mall give Jon a 10 min. massage just to get through the rest of this shopping trip.
Other than that I'm still babysitting and enjoying watching Maddie grow closer to her cousin. Oh and I'm getting really eager for Christmas. I've got a good part of my shopping done, but I always go alittle NUTS then have to return quite a bit after Black Friday shopping. More posts to come.
