Cool kids

I enjoy having my neighbor 2 doors down in the same time of life as me! We enjoy many walks and talks! The kids are great friends as well!
Pictured below are Kate and Will, Samantha and Aaron.
My kids are very cool in their shades! Sammie just started keeping on her glasses! Very cute!

Aaron's glasses are pretty much a part of his body. He keeps them on pretty much most of the day(even inside!)

My beautiful daughter saying "cheese" for the camera! I sure love my kids!

Fun weekend

Just got back from a fun weekend in Indy! Boy do I miss all that Indianapolis has to offer!

Yesterday morning we started out early so we could be down at the Children's Museum at 10 when they opened. Aaron was really excited about seeing the dinesaurs and Bob the Builder exhibit. We were in for a surprise when the "real" Bob showed up! Both kids were really excited.

After a fun morning of playing at the museum we checked into the Hilton downtown which we got a great rate off of hotwire. We ended up being upgraded for free to a huge suite! Jeremy laughed about getting tired walking to go lock the door the room was so big!

Later on we went swimming then to Jeremy's old co workers 40th birthday party. It was a lot of fun.

Today was nice and sunny and we took the kids to an Indians game. Jeremy and I loved going quite frequently when we used to live there. We didn't make it through the whole game but it was worth it.

A fun weekend all around had by all!

Glasses Please Part 2

Every day when Jeremy gets home from work Samantha loves to give him a big kiss and then grab his glasses! This was a favorite pastime of Aaron's as well when he was about her age! I thought the pics were too cute not to post!

Glasses Please

Apparently in our household when I turn on the lights it's just too bright!!! Aaron wanted his sunglasses on and then of course Samantha wanted hers on as well. They walked around the whole house for about an hour with them on!

We were very excited with the Colts win. We had my family over and enjoyed watching the game and the kids (Aaron's cousin Brandon is 6 months older than him and Kayla is one day younger than Sammie.) Everyone was in high sprirts. On to the super bowl.

Go Colts

We in the Vance houshold were very excited for the Colts playoff game! Now we are even more excited because they beat the Ravens last night! Sammie goes around the house with her hands up saying "Touchdown, Touchdown" while Aaron practices kicking off and diving to the ground with the football.

Go Colts!!

Wonderful Christmas

After a Christmas morning full of presents and cinnamon rolls the kids played till they were too tired and naps called out to them. After naps we went to my parents house for a nice dinner and more presents! Aaron got a Colts football helmet that thrilled him! It was so nice sharing the day with family.

My side of the family

The day after Christmas Jeremy's whole family came over for more food more fun and more presents! Aaron was so excited he didn't even take a nap. In the afternoon we all went bowling.

Jeremy's side opening gifts

It was a very Merry Christmas. I can't believe it's already over. I already talked our garbage man into taking our Christmas Tree.

So onto New Years!

The Vance family of 4 had a very merry Christmas!

Chilly Willy

We woke up to snow today. And not just any snow. The kind of snow that is perfect for making a snowman. Jeremy and Aaron named him Chilly Willy.

Aaron did a great job helping roll 3 BIG snowballs for his first big snowman. He wanted him to talk like Frosty!

It was a fun snowy Saturday morning. Sammie enjoyed watching Willy being built. She kept saying "ball, ball" over and over.
