Camera Broken

Not that I have any avid followers, and I seriously doubt anyone is reading this right now. Just a Hammy Blog FYI, the Sony Cibershot Camera finally kicked the bucket. I tried to perform minor surgery on the little guy, however little cibershot did not pull through. Therefore, I will not have any new posts until I can get a new camera which probably means that maybe I should also get rid of my old school flip cell phone I have been using for the past 4 years and break down and get an iphone with a camera.

Until next time,
Peace out.

You make the call.

Post Christmas

Getting back to normal over here at the Hamiltons after the Christmas break.

Christmas Overload.

Seen here, Lauren Hamilton: Status.... Passed out on the bathroom floor. Evidently the excitment of the Iowa game was just too much to handle.

Baby Wii

In order to make the game fair, both brothers had to hold a baby.

Sledding

During Christmas break we visited East Moline to spend Christmas with the Hammy's. In true Hamilton/Griswold form, a sledding trip to the infamous Hampton Hill was in order. The Hampton hill has a history of tailbone bruisings and misc. injuries to extremities amoungst the Hamilton Family. Armed with a couple of saucer sleds from Uncle Chad's, a 40 year old toboggan sled, and a pair of $10 dollar tire tubes courtesy of the local tire store down the street, all 11 of us bundled ourselves up and headed to the hill.


And no Nana Gamble, we didnt send them down the hill by themselves.

Tyler, Mr. Danger, was in heaven

Tyler Hamilton, youngest sledder on the hill.

The Girls with Dad.......

O Christmas Tree!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging;

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging;

Not only green when summer's here,But also when 'tis cold and drear.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging!

Alex- X-mas program thing

Alex was so excited for me to come to school and watch her sing songs and eat a snack with her and her classmates. Kamryn was equally excited.

There she is... the one with the pink dress and Reindeer Antlers. She forgets to step forward during her part.. So cute...

Hanging out in the Stadium

Brian's Deloitte Christmas party was held at the Lucas Oil Staduim this year... complete with a tour of the facilities. Sweet! The highlight of the night or should I say the embarassment of the night was when Brian actually ran out the Colts Geico tunnel onto the field.

Aren't they pretty.

I walk downstairs Saturday morning and Brian was cooking breakfast in this ensemble. - My capri pants??? OMG

Then my Dad shows up to visit the kids wearing 2 different socks. Nice going. :)

What?

Didnt I just do a post on Indian Summer? Whatever.

Thanksgiving at the Hamiltons

Ya, I know.. 1 week until Christmas and I am just now getting around to the Thanksgiving post. any who... We switched things up this year and went to Illinois to Grandma and Grandpa Hamiltons for Thanksgiving... We the start the festivities off with the annual christmas cookie decorating....


Chad and I made our annual "dirty cookie" for Santa to enjoy. We cant wait for Santa to get his mouth around that silicone.



Ricky and Grandma work it the kitchen before the big feast.

The spread was magnificent this year.

After that Thanksgiving weekend, Tyler decided that working out was his best option.

Atttaaaack!

Dear God

Dear God, please forgive my eldest child as she accidently has depicted your son 's baby portrait as a phallic symbol.

Indian Summer- Check

Apparently the kitchen wasn't getting it done.

Kevin Bacon- age- 9 months

Here's hoping that when Tyler reaches manhood, and frustrated with life, I wont find him in an abandoned warehouse dancing by himself.

Halloween 2010 Randoms

Our family pumpkins. Not as well carved as previous years.



This beauty here belongs to Kamryn who drew what she wanted and daddy just carved...



Here they are ready to face the cold: Ariel the Mermaid, Mini Mouse and The Incredible Hulk

And the rest of the Gamble Clan

Carving Pumkins......................... Which none of the girls wanted to touch the "icky stuff" inside.

Cake Fear

Ever since that first birthday when Alex whispered to Kamryn that getting older sucks, it will never be the same for her again.. Just take a look at the fear on her face.... when faced with the cake and candles.



Birthday # 1 Age 1

Birthday Celebration # 1 ........................Age 2



Birthday Celebration # 2 ..................Age 2................................. Total Disgust and Denial.

Playing nice together.... at least for now.

American Girly Man

Not a big fan of American Girl Dolls. So glad Alex and Kam still like the barbies. Matter of fact American girls scare me. They should be advertised next to those scary trinket things and oversized grandma nightgowns that come in the wednesday ad inserts.... With that being said, I was amazed that a catalog came to me and addressed to my infant son... Here you go Tyler, now we know what to ask Santa for.
