We hope everyone had a nice xmas!  Things were crazy here at the end of the year (I made Diamond Medallion on Delta in 6 months if that says anything-poor Ryan), we finally got our tree up a couple of days before xmas-oops!  The bonus was, it cost us $3-WOW!  It's really nice having that status with the airline.  The other day I left our house for the airport at 3:15 pm for a 4:00 flight.  Running late as usual, only to realize once I got there I forgot my wallet. Ryan loaded the kids in the car and headed to the airport with my wallet, so in the meantime I went to the ticket counter and asked how much time I had before the doors closed.  They told me I would not make it and that I would have to re-book...until she saw my status.  She said, wait a minute, as soon as your wallet gets here let me know. So I did, and she ran me to the gate, practically carrying my bag for me, then I thought she was going to lay down in front of the plane so it wouldn't take off without me.  Needless to say, I made the flight with only seconds to spare.
We decided to stay in AR for xmas this year, we didn't want to travel with the kids and come across any weather and deal with those crazy holiday travelers.  Some family came down to help us celebrate.  But, before they arrived on xmas eve, the kids found the presents under the tree and we decided to let them open a few every night until xmas.  They both grabbed auntie Meggan's and uncle Mikes first-they liked the paper (did I mention they were stacked behind the tree??)-and had so much fun opening and playing with their new presents.
Santa brought them a new ride!!  They had so much fun driving it around and around the back yard. We would put C in the passenger seat, but he always wanted to get out mid-cruise. So, he sat in the back bucket and had the best time!  Both screamed and laughed and we could not get them inside.  Especially since we had some 60+ degree days
They got another new ride, the "Harrington Express" and have fun hanging out while sitting on it.  It came with a trailor that Colin likes to ride in while Jordan pedals around
Enjoying some time outside when it was nice out. They both seem to be natural athletes
If you ask them to do yoga, this is what they both do.  How do they know that??  This is for you auntie meggan
Playing around at the lake house.  Daddy is having the landscaping done and it's going to look so nice when it's complete!

I wish I could find these shirts in bigger sizes, I love them. Our little dare devil and funky monkey

Not only did we have 60 degree days, we also had a snow day too!  J loves to make snow angels and snow men.  He even puts the carrot nose on (as he says).  C, he wasn't so sure how to walk while wearing all the gear.  The boots, mittens, hat, snow pants...too much.  He fell over a lot and couldn't get back up.  Poor kid, the last time we had snow here, he was a tiny baby so he wasn't sure what to think.  But, when we tried to bring him inside??  He wasn't having it!  He would much rather be outside
Sorry Pack friends, I can't....I just can't.  Here's to hoping the Steelers cut the cheese in the big game!  Oh, don't worry MN peeps.  We (When I say we, I really mean the huz.  I barely watch foosball now that we have 2 lil ones to chase after) still are Viking fans, even though they stunk it up this year.

Since things had been so crazy here last year, the next pic was very exciting to me....




Wait for it....







We've been keeping a secret, all of us...











for a really long time...










Ok, get on with it...













No, we're not moving again yet...










Ok fine...

























I kept thinking how did that happen (well, I know exactly how it happened, but...anyway....that's neither here nor there)? That can't be, I better take another.  This one too?  Taking another...and another....and another....I think I took 10 tests and received word from the doc and finally believed it to be true!  J is SO EXCITED!!  C has no clue what's in store for him yet.  J tells us he wants another brother and that he's going to name him Colin Buster.  So much for keeping it a secret too, he was telling everyone at school that mommy has a baby in her belly.  He goes to school with some kids who's parent(s) work with Ryan and they would ask Ryan about it at work. Too funny!  This baby is kicking me in the @$$ too.  J yells at it and says, stop making mommy sick, baby!  Then he rubs it and gives it a lil kiss.  3 different prescriptions of anti-nausea meds and nothing is working.  Now that I'm in the 2nd trimester, hopefully things will start getting better soon.
