Green pudding

Brooklyn got to spend the night at Grandma Mary's and Papa Vince's the other night.  She got to make some color changing pudding and brought it home to share with us!

 FUN!!!

Outside in January with Grandma Iowa

We enjoyed a great 3 day weekend and a visit from Grandma Iowa! 

Nothing beats 70 degrees in January!

These kids are loving it!

 They also love having someone to push them!

Cute Iowa Hawkeye boy (with his boots on)

Is she not PRECIOUS!?!?!

Picture time!

Look at these two girls in their cute matching outfits!

Their brother had to join in the photo shoot.

Then Grandma joined.  TOO BAD GRANDMA was the one with her EYES SHUT!  Ha!



Silly faces!

Too many cooks in the kitchen!

We have been making a lot of great food in our kitchen lately!!

Love these two sisters beside each other!

LOVE!

From the looks of it, it must taste good too!

What not to wear!

I asked Brooklyn what she had to say about this picture....her response "He is looking kind of crazy!"  I would have to agree!  This is what Jamison wore to church one Sunday!  He still loves his boots!!

2011 Wrap Up

Our New Year's Eve was once again--nothing to report!   We all needed today to get caught up from Christmas and our great trip!  Lots of laundry and cleaning being done!  Kids were all in bed pretty early, and we barely made it until midnight!

Once again--2011 was another great year for The Nerio's!  The kids are getting bigger and bigger every day!  We end 2011 with Brooklyn half way done with Pre-K, Jamison thinking about potty training, and Raegan talking more and more and more, as well as being able to keep up with her sister and brother!  We are so thankful for a year of wonderful health, and lots of happiness!!  We are excited to see what 2012 has in store for us, and look forward to seeing the kids get bigger and learn more everyday!

CHEERS!

Once again--we love our daycare!  They do such great things with the kids!!  Brooklyn saved most of her ornaments as gifts for us for Christmas!!  She was so excited about them, and made sure we knew just when we could open them!   These all made for great decorations at Christmas!

Our little COWBOY!

While in Texas, this boy noticed one thing--the cowboy's boots!!  He nearly had a meltdown one day while we were there becuase he wanted to wear his boots.  Now--keep in mind, up to this point, he has NEVER worn the two pair of boots we have here at home.  Anyway--the day after we got back, what was the first thing he wanted to do--put on his boots  And he hasn't taken them off yet!!  He also gets his stick horse and rides it around. TOO CUTE!!

He has also enjoyed riding his motorcycle.  He was outside that day riding it around and around and around, I think he was on it for at least 45 minutes!  Also notice, these are from New Years Eve, and he has short sleeves on, and Chris has shorts on!  It was SO nice outside!  We needed it after our long car ride home the night before!!

This boy just melts my heart!  And what a boy he is!! Football, cowboy boots, motorcycles, trains, trucks, tractors, wanting to be with Daddy, and more Football!!

Thanks AUNT JULIE!!!

Thanks Aunt J`ulie for coming to Texas with us!!!!!!!!  We love you and miss you!!!

 We give the week TWO THUMBS UP!!
