Tonight

CAUGHT!

Uh Ben what are you doing...



"Drinking orange juice with a straw."

Funny Stories to BIG for HeSaid/SheSaid...

So Jason, Walter, Ben and Gary went out to Bill's Seafood for dinner Friday night. They were having a good time eating, listening to jazz music and talking. So there was a lull in the conversation and Ben says to Grandpa Walter...
"You gonna eat those g.d d...m fries?"
Gary was laughing so hard...Walter didn't hear him and Jason didn't know what to say!!
We really do try to tell Walter not to swear!

Walter and Max

So I'm telling everyone at dinner how my hair dresser, Ron, may be on Extreme Home Makeover, they are taping in CT. Ron works for Party Lite and they are donating things for the home. Well he is the STAR seller for the region so he was asked to represent the company!!!
Jason says, "Geez is there anything he doesn't do?" (Ron is always busy...)
Lynn: "Well he doesn't do his plays anymore."
Katie pops in: "Well he doesn't drive a race car!" We laugh.
Katie: "Are you going to have to get a new hairdresser?"
Lynn: "NO!"

Catch Up!

I had no idea that so many people read my blog! I've been getting emails asking where are the updates!

Well here we go....
Nothing to exciting! HAhahaha!

Seriously, we had a very nice Thanksgiving down at my Uncle Chris's house w/Lisa, Christopher and Avery. Walter came to and was the hit of the gathering at the dinner table. He flirted with Lisa's sister in-law and kept the wine flowing!!

We've enjoyed a few Christmas events and even got a dusting of snow the other night.
The kids are getting excited for snow, getting a tree and of course Santa. We are helping them remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

So here are a few funny HighLights to our crazy life...
Ben gets a hold of the camera without us knowing and this is what we find.








First of all I forget he knows how to operate the camera.
Secondly, how freaky are those pictures. I was FREAKED OUT!!! My dad said he likely switched the dial for mode and the flash did something weird, I don't know. I guess I'll just say he's really artistic, yeah, he's artistic!

Next we put up our Christmas villiage.
Funny side story, we had to recently (after these pics) had to hide our gingerbread house in the village, Grandpa Walter was trying to sneak the candy! It's hidden in Santa's Village now!!!



We had fun meeting Santa at Santa's Breakfast at Katie's school. The highschool seniors put it on to raise money for their after graduation party.


"I want a LONGSHOT nerf gun"

"Let me think..."

Then we went to the Westbrook Christmas Tree Lighting Parade. Katie marched with her Brownie Troop. It was sooooo C-O-L-D!!!!


This past Sunday we made a Ginger Bread house. Katie, Nana and myself had gone to a Ginger Bread making thing and thought the idea was so easy we decided to make another one at home with Ben and Jason. They took boxes (oatmeal, cracker boxes...)glued them to bases and then you used the frosting/paste to stick the graham crackers on the base! So much easier. Well here are some pictures of the one we made as a family.


Starting the process.

Yes, that's frosting in my hair, Thanks honey for telling me!


WALA...The Wallace Castle!

Almost Done

Oh Jason thinks he's so funny...This is his idea of decorating for Christmas...


Lastly what would be a fun night without a little UFC match...


Merry Christmas!!!

SO COOL!!!!!

Katie is a STAR!!! Jason signed her up for an early release of her new CD FEARLESS. Well if you go online to TheTaylorNation.com and scroll down to LAUNCH enter---then type in Jason's whole name (first and last) it will show you where Katie is in the mosaic!!!
Katie screamed SOOOOOO loud when she opened the box. How cool!

Now, this comes on a day when I was very sad, depressed and cried about how big she is getting and was in a funk all day because she no longer needs a booster seat! She finally weighs 62 lbs! I know a little pathetic about my funk but I'm in one and now this!!!! She Lives and Breathes Taylor Swift!! I guess I could be happy that she takes after me and how I was the same way at her age but instead of Taylor it was Duran Duran!!!!

Anyway...check out the HE SAID/SHE SAID to hear some funny Benisms.

He Said, She said...

I had a spur of the moment idea on Sunday morning. Katie and I were on line looking to see when Taylor Swift's new CD was coming out. Well, I noticed that she was playing that night at Mohegan Sun! Well, I saw it wasn't sold out, asked Jason and he said sure! Katie was screaming!!!!!
"I have to call Mady!!!"

While there I heard: "Oh my goodness!" "This is where we're sitting!?!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" at the top of her lungs. "I have the best parents ever!"
It was great and we had a little mishap that turned out way better than I could have ever imagined with the tickets.

Ben overheard us talking about the concert. He said to Jason, "I want to go to see Taylor Swift at the sun!"

About going to vote and the chance there may be long lines, Ben said, "I don't want to stand in long lines so I"m not going to vote."

HALLOWEEN

Finally I'm posting Halloween pictures. For some reason I didn't take a lot of pictures. Well, I do know why, I gave the camera to Jason and then it got put in my friends stroller and was never seen again. Thankfully Kathy took lots of pictures, as always she was prepared! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
So enjoy the pictures:)

The Gang...


Indiana...he doesn't like chocolate, but thankfully for his sake people think he's really cute and let him rummage through the bowl looking for smarties or nerd or whatever.






The Little Girls...


The Big Girls...we didn't embarrass them to badly.

Funny!

So we're driving to church and Ben says, "Hey Daddy, member (he leaves off r's) when I swallowed my dum?"
Jason, "No. When?"
Ben "Member, I got dum out of your truck and ate it but then swallowed it."
Jason, "Oh yeah. Why?"
Ben "I was just membering."
Jason "Why did you swallow it? Did you want to blow bubbles out of your butt?"
Long Pause
Pause, I look at Ben and he has this very thoughtful look on his face and then says,
"NO!"
Jason, "Then why did you swallow it?"
Ben, "I don't know why."
Jason, "Who?"
Ben, "What?"
Jason, "Why?"
Ben, "Why what?"
And so it went on!
