Steelers sixth Superbowl Win!!!

We had a great time watching the Superbowl!!! Here is our "spread". Jacob LOVED that he could eat in the living room and at his own speed! We just knew it had to happen this year. It was Superbowl 43 after all and Ethan's favorite number is 43. Tim's favorite player is Polamalu, number 43!! It was meant to be!!! :)Daddy and his boys! Ready to cheer on their team! Jacob was excited about his corn dog!

...and Doritos and cheese dip!

Bear feeling the stress of the game...
the boys trying to make Bear feel better!
Aaahh!! Thank God. (Note the phone...Tim is on with his buddy Mike - another big Steeler's fan)

Yippy!!!! No overtime!!!!

The boys celebrating!

posing for the camera!!
Ethan and Daddy cheering on the Steeler's back in 2005.....

and in 2006 when they won number 5 (again note the phone...Mike is on the phone)!

The flight!!

Tim bought a plane! Here it is and he and the boys love to go fly Daddy's plane. It was truly freezing out this day, but Tim had just gotten it and really wanted to fly. The boys wanted to be there for the first flight...so we all bundled up and headed out to see the show! :) You can't see it real well, but Ethan has his two planes too.

All bundled up and ready to head to the park!

Isn't he the cutest in his snow suit!!! :) My little Jacob was SOOO cold at the end of our flight that Tim had to run back home with him to get him warmed up.

Ethan flying his plane while watching Daddy's in the sky....

Here we go.....

Ready, set...fly! (it's crashed a few times since this picture...but Tim is still having fun with this new hobby!!! Thanks Chris (a neighbor of ours)....

Current Belly shot...27 weeks

I'm feeling SO ready to have this kid...I feel so much bigger than this pictures shows...but I have grown considerably since the 20 weeks shot. The baby is moving around like crazy and giving my legs and belly some pain...but overall I'm not too bad off! I don't feel sick, I can wear my contacts now without feeling nauseous, I've been able to still go for walks - which helps me feel much better. I'm very excited to see if we find out anything more for sure in the gender department. We have another U/S at 32weeks. But...if not...we'll only have another 8 weeks from there before we find out for sure!!

Random shots....

I let the boys choose a special meal for New Year's Eve. Ethan wanted hot chocolate to go along with his. I don't think he really understood the year changing. He just wanted to know when Christmas would be again...

Jacob loves Corn dogs and...well that's about all he ate from his "special" meal, along with his sippy of "bilk"

Hmmm...potty training isn't exactly going smoothly. He likes my new planter though! (Although he didn't produce anything in there either).

The boys posing....

The boys playing together. They were trying so hard...but never did get a volley going.

snow angels in what was left of the snow! Poor Ethan needs some boots!

Jacob thought snow angels were pretty fun too!

Christmas with the Griffith's!

We had a great time, although short, in Penrose. Both of Tim's siblings and their families were able to be there for Christmas. (Well, it was the week before Christmas). We enjoyed time with Tim's parents, Phil, Beth, Nathan, Ruth and all the kiddos. It was great to see everyone and meet the newest member of the Griffith's - miss Amanda Hope.

Not sure...but they were looking at something on YouTube...or shopping...

Anna and Ethan were two little peas in a pod this visit. They had loads of fun together.

Clothing is always a popular gift from Paul! The men had to pose for a picture:)

Jacob received a big croquet set...he can't wait until Spring/Summer

Grampy found a NASCAR blanket for Ethan. It's now proudly on his bed and keeps him nice a cuddly warm. It's SOOOOO soft. :) (Thanks Ken's Trading Post)

The one request to Santa from Ethan was to receive Mr. The King. He was thrilled to open this gift.

Ah the smiles!

Grampy opening his box of presents from Jesus. Each was a wrapped gift with a verse and reminder of the forever gifts from our Lord. I personally enjoyed hearing about each gift.

Time with Uncle Nathan.

Time with Aunt Ruth

All the kiddos (minus the itty bitty one, Amanda) Ethan, Anna, Lydia, Alyssa, Jacob and Mayah

Grampy was laughing so hard! The kids had tons of fun with Grampy...it all started with him reading the book "wrong" and Ethan knew what the real words were....then it just turned into a giggling silly time with the Grand kids.

More giggles! Okay kids...enough...Grampy can't laugh anymore and it's bedtime!

We always have a tractor "hay" ride. This time we sat on packages of insulation. It was more comfortable and warmer than hay.

Jacob wanted to help the big boys rearrange the garage.

Ethan "driving" the tractor

Time with Aunt Beth. Alyssa holding Amanda and Anna and Ethan listening to the story.

Grammy got out a play Nativity Set for the kids to play with. When they weren't fighting over the pieces it was a hit. :)

Jacob had fun sitting with Grampy whenever he had the chance.
