Just a Little News....

So guess what Autumn wanted and begged and pleaded to do all week long..............

Still cant tell...........Keep looking.........


Haven't got it yet......ALL RIGHT! I will tell you..........



Oh yeah, those are real. My little diva wanted her ears pierced and she talked her daddy into them......I think someone is wrapped around her little finger ha ha ha........now we need to talk her 16 year old Aunt into getting her ears pierced!

New Years Eve!!!

       So for New Years this year, the love of my life once again had to work. What does this mean and why would I even care?.......Because that means no party, no craziness and no midnight kiss.....or does it? Ha ha this year since Jon worked, I took on a different task for New Years, and it was rather fun!! My sister-in-law Ashley and her husband Brian had a fun party to go to but no babysitter...dun dun dun....but then here I come to tell her I have no plans and so then the sleepover is set. Caden, Calli, Cienna and Autumn had a major sleepover at my house for New Years. It was really really fun, we went out to Pizza Hut, then went and bought a cupcake cake for desert and we had candy and cookies and soda and watched movies all night. Autumn was the first one to lose the battle to sleep and could not make it past eleven. Then we lost Cienna around 11:15 and finally just as Caden and Calli were starting to lose as well..........2011 ARRIVED!!! A great ending to a great night. I decided that this year for my resolutions I want to make big changes, I would tell you what they are but that would ruin the surprise!

Oh Wow....2011!

      Hmmmmm.....about me slacking, I would say I am pretty bad at keeping this updated, I need to try to do it at least once a week because in this crazy so much happens in one week, its going to be ridiculous to try and catch everyone up on our ongoing events. Here it goes anyway!!!

      So Christmas was amazing! The Neely family was surprised with a living room full of gifts from Santa Claus! He sure knows his stuff because the smile on Autumn's tiny little face was something else. This year he brought her a gigantic toy box and an Art desk with every art supply you could imagine. He also filled her stocking to the brim with toys and candy and barbie dolls and barbie clothes and even got her another train engine for her Thomas the Train set and a sled for the mountains of snow we have here. On top of all this Jon and I got her outfits, puzzles, Jessie and Bullseye (to complete her set) and Jammies! I apologize I did not get alot of pictures of Christmas mainly because we film it instead, hoping to make these times last forever so maybe someday in the very very far future, Autumn can sit down with her family and watch her growing up. Jon and I also had an awesome Christmas and we even decided to get a mutual present for ourselves and buy a new Kitchen table! I cannot wait to go pick it out! This year was also a year full of family games. Jon came home with Sorry, Monopoly and I came home with three different versions of Scrabble! My absolute favorite game. Autumn recieved Candy Land and loves it! Autumn also got an AWESOME fishtank from her Aunty Sarah and she even got a red Beta fish for it. She looked at it and named it Chip, pretty cute Huh? Chip is now part of the family and the way he looks and acts he reminds me of one of those grumpy old men who frowns and bickers all the time, very funny! Christmas was definitely one to remember this year. We had wonderful Christmas parties from both mine and Jon's sides of the family and boy do we all sure know how to party! It was a blast. And at the Neely Christmas Party we even had a visitor. Santa Claus came to make sure everyone was being good, It was so great to see Autumn react. She ran up and gave him such a big hug and was by his side till he and Mrs. Claus left. Definitely a successful December!
