Stand by for Holiday 2010 pics...

Well folks I thought I'd just go ahead and lump all of our 2010 holiday pics into one single post...whatd'ya think?


Oh I'm not gonna do it tonight...I got a total of 2.5 hours of sleep last night...so I'm a little wore out...plus the year isn't over!  I'm pretty sure we got quite a few pics of the kiddos opening Christmas presents and what not...I'll post them soon.  Just incase we left anyone here out of the loop...

Jackie and I have another Baby on the way...due June/July...


anyway...stay tuned for pics...I'm going to sleep...

Does it make me a bad Dad that I had fun doing this?????

 Remember these:





Well Lane wanted some candy....









I laughed...and obviously I knew it would be bad...thats why I got that camera out...  He's still not talking to me...maybe I'll bribe him with another piece of candy!

Well.....ever heard of an aebleskiver? EEEBLE SKEEVER....

Well The kids and I were sitting around watching Happy Feet when someone knocked on the door..."Who in the hel....heck"   UPS.  OK it is the holidays...they're getting later and later...a Scentsy box...of course...and a William Sonoma box...now I thought I had remembered Jackie saying something about getting something or other for something or other...I opened it.  What did I find?  An aebleskiver pan!!!!  Yeah I remember now...puffed pancakes!   Oh man....is this for us?  Is it for me?  Hmmm....DINNER!  So I pulled out the pan and gave it a go....I hope it's mine.











Thats a nice looking pan huh... 



I just whipped up some Bisquick...



OK here goes...Just two to start...



Oh damn...



HMMMM.....




OK I think I know where I went wrong...

Lets try again....

 With THREE!!!! 



 My helper...


Lookin better....



 
It's WORKING!!!



  I HAVE WON!!!



Now I'm getting brave...



AND it's WORKING...



HAHAHAHAH



They look burnt...but they are perfect!!!



Tasty lookin...no?



What's that?



GRAPE JELLY!!!!




OH MY....It was very TASTY...now I have MANY IDEAS to pursue!


Of course Lane was skeptical...I had to threaten to send him to bed without dinner before he would try it...he like it!

Of course Layla liked it!

She had so much syrup her hair stuck to her chin looked like a beard...

I'm not supposed to post this...

Jackie was studying in our room and Layla wanted to help. It was quiet...too quiet! This is what I found upon investigation:

Well...we tried...

Well we thought we should try and grab a few pictures of the kids...you know for Christmas cards and such.  We rushed to get them dressed and to make it out of the house before we lost the light...we had less than an hour.  We ended up in downtown Bryan but I'm afraid we were just a little too late.  Were gonna try again...it's hard to get pics of these guys...if you finally get one to hold still the other is halfway down the road...or up the stairs...or in the fountain...or running out into the street!  Anyway...here are some of the outakes...



He was getting a little too into it...



I should have taken a little more time in this spot...


He looks like he's having a blast huh?

These shots were nice too...but the kids looked like we had just took away all their toys...

The sun was perfect here...now if we could get the kids on the same page...

I wanna go back here when the sun is shining...

She's got her evil grin down nicely...


And thats about it for this evening...might go out tomorrow and try to get a few more shots.  Hopefully the kids do better.  Their attitude may have something to do with them being at home with me for most of the day...Layla took a short nap...Lane...NO WAY!  We hung up a few lights but we're thinking about painting the house and I didn't want have to take them all down to paint...we thought about putting up the tree...but we need to clean up a few things first!  Hopefully we'll have some better pics soon!

Wings over Houston...




Lane, my Dad, and myself went to the wings over Houston air show yesterday.  We had a Blast...and Lane was WORN OUT!  We got there about 0930 and finally pulled out of the parking lot about 6:30...we sat in the parking lot in traffic for about 90 minutes!  That sucked!  Anyway...here are a few pics of Lane:






 He had a front row seat for the whole show....if he wanted it...

 Right as the thunderbirds started up....he fell asleep...he didn't sleep long.



And now a few pics of the planes and stuff...
