Blessings this Advent!

Wait, will this let me write in purple?  I'm going to try...

Hello, is this thing on? Oh, it is! Happy Advent everyone! We have been busy busy busy so far this season. I am *trying* to get it all done early so that I can not worry, and just relax the week or so before Christmas. I think my plan may actually work out this  year.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house. Music is (usually) playing, although sometimes it mysteriously changes to "Songs from Minecraft" ! 

The kids had a lot of fun putting up the tree - especially Spencer who really didn't remember much about the holidays from last year. 

I also changed up the pajamas tradition.  Typically I had given them out on Christmas Eve to be worn to bed.  However, I thought it would be more fun to wear them the whole season, so I handed them out on the 1st Sunday of Advent, and they kids enjoyed wearing them during dinner and watching Santa Claus is Coming to Town. 

Hope your Advent is also going well. 

Until Next Time...

Holiday Pajamas

  1. Pajamas come on St. Nick's day with some books at our house. That way they have them much of the month.

April and May....Boy am I behind!

All Smiles....Look What I Can Reach! Cruisin' Another Type of Crusin' Wow, the Spring got away from me, as you can tell by the long time between posts! We have not felt like we had a lot going on, but I guess we have! Jack is doing great, and his potty training is pretty much finished (as much as it can be for a 3 year old I guess).  We visited a few Pre-Schools and finally decided on one, and luckily they had room for us! It is really hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Jack is going to start school - even if it's only two mornings a week! He also got his first bicycle (Lightning McQueen, of course) and he is learning the ropes of riding it. Our neighborhood has a lot of hills so he kind of prefers riding at the State Park where the road is a bit less up and down.  Actually, all three of us got new bicycles and we hope to start to ride them as a family once Logan is old enough to wear a helmet and ride in the pull-behind. Baby Buzz (yes,  ...

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...
