New Year's Resolutions-2009

Do you have a New Year's Resolution?

The H Family has some resolutions that we wanted to share. If you see us not following through with our resolutions, please feel free to remind us...it might help us stay on track!

MAMA's 2009 RESOLUTION IS TO DRINK MORE WATER!!!

PAPA's 2009 RESOLUTION IS TO WATCH HIS PORTION SIZES! (especially when it comes to sweet treats)

PQ's 2009 RESOLUTION IS TO NOT PICK BOOGERS!!!

(and he's "going to like tomatoes and olives now"...)

Sooooo.....what are YOU resolving to do in 2009??!!!??

Cool Polar Bear Snacks

This evening, we made a FUN DESSERT. (Yes, it's 5:30pm and we've ALREADY eaten dinner and dessert...hahaha.)

THE RECIPE

PQ's Polar Bear Dessert

My Polar Bear Dessert

And Papa H's Fuzzy-Wuzzy Friend (I mean, Dessert).

They tasted better than I thought they would. I'm not big on marshmallows, however, a mouthful of coffee ice cream (the recipe called for vanilla) along side marshmallow and coconut is surprisingly yummy.

ENJOY!

Little Man Cave

For those of you who know Papa H, you know how much he loves his MAN ROOM in the basement. Apparently "EVERY man should have one"...???

Well today, PQ decided that he wanted his very own LITTLE MAN CAVE down in the basement. We spent a few hours de-cluttering (Aaaahhh, I love to CHUCK stuff that we haven't used in years). Along with de-cluttering, we cleaned and disinfected a small area in the basement so he could have a place of 'his own'.

PRESENTING...PQ'S LITTLE MAN CAVE!!!

His new desk...equipped with an ATM machine, computer, and a reindeer.

*"For decoration", of course.*

What LITTLE MAN CAVE would be complete without a racing poster!!??

*We're still not sure where his 'redneck-isms' came from.*

Every room should have a towel (I mean, "RUG") on the floor.

*He thought of this one all by himself...I love my son...he's hilarious!*

The newest occupant of the LITTLE MAN CAVE!

A man room for Papa H....a little man cave for PQ...someone please tell me, WHERE IS MY GIRLY OASIS!!??? (My vote is the bathtub...)

A Way To My Heart

After taking a shower this evening, PQ decided to BRUSH MY HAIR. (He knows the way to my heart.) He loves to surprise me with it from time to time...but this evening, I was reminded that one day he's going to make a great husband when he grows up!

Thanks again for making me feel pretty, PQ!

We Love You, PQ

HAPPY WINTER!!!!!

Earlier today, PQ and I made a snowman...and a 'snowdog'.

We came inside because I was feeling 'sick'.

Dr. PQ to the rescue!

And PQ offered to help Papa H with the construction.

PQ is a smart little boy. He has a VERY vivid imagination and he really enjoys helping out. I just want to say THANK YOU for being such a sweet little man, PQ. Mom and Dad love you VERY much and we are VERY grateful to have you as a son.

XOXOXO!

Merry Christmas!

Wow! It's been a few days since the last post, eh? Well, do I have PICTURES for you!!! Sit back and just enjoy the pics...I will keep it short and to the point today, I promise!

Beaner slept over on Tuesday and scored PQ's camo hat from Cabela's.

(His head outgrew the cap...eek!)

Later that night, we had some HOT ROLLER FUN!

SO CUTE, ISN'T SHE!!!???

On Christmas Eve, D-Dawg hooked up with us for a trip to see Great Gram.

On the ride, he spoiled Mooch.

These 2 bozo's were in the WAY back...enough said!

Later that night, we opened presents at Grammy & Grampa's house!

*Beaner HAD to try on everything that she (and her mother) got for gifts.*

Auntie was CLEARLY SHOCKED about the pictures in her calendar!

Mimi and Bets also thought it was all a hoot.

Brando always SCARES me...you never know what he's up to...






...UNTIL YOU FIND YOUR CAMERA AND SEE WHAT HE'S DONE!!!

Beaner was OBVIOUSLY in on it too...

...and so was PQ!!!???!!!

On Christmas morning, PQ was SHOCKED that there was no COAL in his stocking!

*He said "I DIDN'T EVEN GET COAL IN MY STOCKING AND I WAS BAD."*

Still psyched about the stuff in his stocking.

AMPED about the new Red Sox Hat!

PSYCHED about his blow-up Deer Target...

...that goes along with his play bow-and-arrow!

Our Christmas Tradition? NEW MATCHING CHRISTMAS PJ'S!

*This year, I made them! THANKS, MIMI!*

Mooch got a NEW BONE!

Later Christmas morning, we had some visitors!

(Nana, Aunt Mamie, Miss K, and H-Banana)

A little later on, Grampa H and Grammy Jo-Jo came over as well.

Homemade eggrolls...they are Grammy Jo-Jo's 'thing'...well, one of her 'things'.

(She is an awesome cook!)

SOPHIE found the new bone!!!

PQ had to help EVERYONE open their presents!

Grammy & Grampa came over as well...and the dogs snuggled up next to her.

This morning, a little bow hunting lesson took place in the livingroom!

And look who came back for a 2nd round of food and fun!

Merry Christmas?? Yes, you could DEFINITELY say that we had a very Merry Christmas!
