Looking for the perfect Christmas tree

Tyler and Max in front of this years tree. We went up to get our tree Saturday after Thanksgiving, and it was a great time once again.  Even though we ran a trunk off the road and had to help pull them out, it all turned out o.k.  Thanks to the truck for saving us from hitting them, which would have made for a really expensive tree.

Here is the finished project!

Here's this years perfect tree

Having Hot Chocolate, waiting for dad to put the tree up on the car. 

The kids had more fun playing in the snow then looking for a tree.

Brett's Birthday

Happy Birthday Brett!  It was so cute this year Tyler was so excited for Brett's birthday so she could decorate for him.  Everyday she kept asking me is it dads birthday yet, she couldn't wait to put up streamers and balloons.  

Out side the restaurant while everyone was finishing up there meals, Max decided he was done being in his highchair.

Firsts

 First day going to preschool, Tyler was so excited to go back to Miss Kim's this year.  Here are a few pictures we took before going to school.  

Tyler's first soccer game.  Even though she didn't get the whole idea of being able to take the ball away from the other team, she had fun running up and down the field.  She did start crying and we asked her what was wrong, she said she was sad because she didn't score a goal.  We will have to work on scoring, so she doesn't start crying at the next game.

Weekend at the Klomps

Tyler having fun with Max.

Thanks to the Klomps for a wonderful weekend.  We had such a  great time, the weather was perfect and so was the company.  This was Tyler's first time on a four wheeler and she loved it!

Chicago

Brett and I went to Chicago with his parents for work, here are a few pictures from our trip.   While Brett and his Dad where in meetings, Susan and I went shopping and relaxed it was a great weekend away.  Thanks to aunt Boo who watched our kids.

Summer Fun

O.k so I know I haven't posted in a while, from family trips, to weekend getaways, and not feeling great because our third one is on its way.  Yes we are expecting in January and things just seem to slow down around our house for the first few months.  So I am finally posting our summer pictures from the last few months.

We went up to Keystone for the weekend to celebrate Bob's Birthday, here are a few pictures.

4th of July in Utah

We went out to Utah for the 4th of July, to visit my mom and see my sister who was visiting from Seattle.  It was great to see everyone, and Tyler loved playing with her cousins.

St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

So this year the Bills family trip was to St. John.  We had a great time snorkeling, scuba diving, visiting a new beach every day, and enjoying the nice villa that we stayed at.  It was a great family trip , can't wait for next years.
