Snow storm # 1

BEFORE


AFTER

Still hanging out

We're still hanging out over here waiting for the baby.... just a few weeks to go now until "Gozer" the Gozarian arrives - Thats what we are calling him now.---- "The destructor" as Sigorney Weaver puts it.

Trip to the Beach

We took a trip to the Beach yesterday due mostly in part to Mommy's imobility.

Grape Throwing

Everybody Hurts

Hanging out

We're just hanging out over here waiting for the baby to come in the next couple of weeks.

As the Dollhouse Turns

Tensions rise and tempers flare in the Fisher-Price home as the wife discovers her husband wearing her pink robe while dancing to Cher music.

Post Holiday Season

The Holidays are over, and we are tired and cranky around here......trying to get back into our normal routine.

Nice Job Hawks!

Congrats to the Iowa Hawkeyes, 2010 Orange Bowl Champions!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Alex and Kamryn received a homemade baby bed and baby crib from Grandma Hamilton and they happen to come with their own babies. One baby which at best can be described as awkward looking.

Water Park

So much fun to be had in Dubuque, IA while visiting Uncle Chad and Aunt Bridget during Christmas break.

Kamryn played with this water fountain for about a half hour.

The whole water gang is pictured here. Bridget and I were absent from this family picture as whales were strictly prohibited from the water.

Kamryn demonstrates her "premature" jumping skills here.

2009 Christmas Randoms

The following are X-mas pictures in random order. At this point I am too pregnant to care if they are in chronological order...... so here it goes-


Kamryn and Alex shares some fun times outside our house in the recent snow fall



Kamryn rips through her presents at Uncle Chad and Aunt Bridget's

My Dad has a holiday tradition--- "Gifts from the Attic" Each year he rummages thru the attic to see what kind of crap he can dig up and give away as gag gifts. This year was no disapointment. Seen here is my Highschool Diploma with an old Liz Claiborne purse permanently melted to it. (it gets hot in their attic in the summer time) Danny boy wrapped it as he found it..... I eventually was able to pry the two the apart to salvage my diploma.

Ah.. here is Poppee with those infamous Santa Gifts from the Elementary school. Here Poppee proudly displays his fire ball dog tag neckalce from Eric- which he purchased himself at school. Poppee wore it all day with pride.

Here Alex and Kamryn stand on top of what was revealed to be Kamryn's pink bean bag. Now she has one just like her sister.

Here is Alex in her Christmas preschool program.

Here is Alex singing Christmas songs at her school program. Surprisingly enough, she is the least animated, and one gesture behind everyone else.

At the Hamilton house it is a Christmas tradition to have the Christmas tree attached to a clapper.

Brian- Finger

For those of you who didnt know, Brian cut his finger pretty bad while using a chisle and hammer about a month ago. We took him to the ER because he almost accidently chisled his entire finger off. He was working on putting hindges on a closet door when I heard the hollering from the garage.... I came out to the garage and there is blood everywhere- Kinda of like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I did not get any pictures of the actual finger because it was bleeding too bad to take towel off.... But before we left for the ER I managed to snap this shot of the blood spatters to his head... I was meaning to get a still picture but my camera was on "video" mode... anyways.... so mean of me to laugh, but I couldn't help it.....

Little Farters

Another Bad Hair Day

Ugly Sweater Party

Brian and I went to a "Deloitte" Ugly sweater party last Saturday night. Brian took home second place. We would like to personally thank Rick and Diane Hamilton for providing this fabulous Christmas couture.

Thanksgiving at Grandma /Grandpa Hamiltons

Hanging out with cousin Lauren on little chairs

This is Kamryn making her, "Im stuffed" face

Alex and Lauren decorate Christmas cookies for Santa for Christmas Eve. Lots of finger licking and frosting sampling going on here. Good thing Santa is requesting his H1N1 shot this year. Santa is about to injest a load full of germs here...

Uncle Chad and I make the last cookie. Its a dirty cookie. Leave it to us to make this experience a rated "R" one.

After Thanksgiving the next day we ventured off to the Quad Cities Tree Festival. Here the girls stick their head thru this contraption for a pic.

Then off to see Santa. I gotta tell ya, my main woman was strong this year as we did not strike out with Santa as we have with previous years.....Alex looked worried at first however she confidently whispered in his ear what she wanted for Christmas this year.- and then calmly got down as if she had never been afraid of him in her whole life.

But then there was Kamryn, venturing down the same path as her sister from years past, you can see the shear terror in her face here- even with sister at her side, she managed to squirm and cry her way out of this one... oh well, Santa and her can be friends next year.

.................................And we're done with this.....................................

Really?

If this doesnt spell A.D.D. I dont know what does. She is supposed to be telling me about a Dora episode, but she just cannot control her little body.

Sharing Feast at School

Here is Alex at her " Sharing Feast Show" at preschool. She was supposed to be singing at this point, however stage fright took over and not a smile, peep, or word came out of her mouth.- Sorry for the blurry video below as my battery on my camera was about done.....
This sort of stage fright is surprising to me considering the above video of her in the kitchen. Sometimes no one can shut up Chatty Cathy.

Colts Fans

Here they are dressed and ready for the big game on Sundays, enjoying the 11-0 season.
