Tasty Paint!

Well Texas has finally gotten cold, we've been waiting for the cold weather to come and STAY! It usually shows up over night and then by 2pm its 80 outside!

Since the cold weather showed up we've been stuck inside and just plain bored! So Mommy broke out the paints, towels and whatever I could find to paint with!!!

Ruby had a blast...I made her playdough today and she wanted nothing to do with. I was rather disappointed since I made it and got food coloring all over myself!!!

She favorite thing to paint wasn't the paper but Daddy's face!

She's been practicing her face painting skills and even tried to give Daddy a new hair color today!

As you can tell she had a BLAST! What made it an awesome day was that she got a bath, her favorite thing.

These two just melt my heart everyday!!!

And to finish your day off right heres a sweet video of these two and their painting time!!!

 

God Bless and have an Awesome Weekend!!!

Christmas Eve

Everyone seems to have all these traditions so I guess it was time we started our own.

We don't have an Elf yet or many Christmas decorations.

This will be the first year I cook Christmas dinner...depending on how it goes it may or may not happen again next year!

And Ruby is finally old enough to partake in things...like decorate cookies!
So our Christmas Eve tradition has started, decorating cookies!!!

Mommy slaves all morning making the perfect sugar cookies, Daddy plays the xbox and Ruby plays, chases the animals and screams at whoever looks at her!!!

 

My only advice to you...wait for years before you come and try our decorated sugar cookies....we wont be to blame if you try any earlier and you get Ruby spit all over yours!!!

 

 

 

The Princess sends her smiles and wishes you all a Wonderful Christmas filled with Love, Family, Laughter and Everything you Wanted!

Don't forget the reason for Christmas, Our Wonderful Savior came to Save Us All!

Give back where ever you can or pass on some kindness....we need more kind people!!!

Ruby survived and got a Castle

Since yesterday was 12/21/12 and according to all the crazy people the last day of the earth we decided to let Ruby open a few Christmas gifts!

Uncle Andy & Aunt Alea are offically the coolest Aunt & Uncle EVER!

We are happy to say we made it to 12/22/12 and are still alive and Ruby still has her Princess Castle.

I am glad we opened this a few days earlier....if it was opened Christmas morning and put together right away allof her other gifts would have gone to waste!

We couldn't get her out of it, and at one point she allowed Daddy into her Castle.



This become the new hideout for a few family memebers...

 

Ruby likes to share, so she let Rascal stay for a while and they enjoyed some Saturday cartoons!

We pray you all have an amazing Christmas, filled with family, love and lots of laughter!

 

Just another Friday!

We have been crafting all week long! Christmas seems to be the time year for me to do this. Made an ornament for our tree and plan on making one every time we move!



This is the outcome...those wonderful red stickers are left over from our move last December! They were on everything, anything they moved had one on it!!! I threw most out when we moved in, but there were a few boxes and toys out in the garage that still had them on so I snatched them up! I am excited to this everytime we move....and its a plus because we will probably be moving around Christmas every time!!! On the back it says NS Mayport-Lackland AFB 2011!!!

We finished the night off with a good read! Ruby got a new book from Gma in her paclage today so she forced Daddy to read it to her! She wasn't happy about it at first but soon gave in! Rascal also enjoyed storytime!

Pizza, Lights & Menger!!!

Daddy took Mommy & Ruby out to dinner last night at the Riverwalk and afterwards we walked aroun to look at all the pretty lights!

 



They did things a little different this year which is nice, keeps things from getting boring!

The drapped all the trees in lights this year, last year the lights were wrapped around the trucks!

 



Then I decided to go on a hunt....to find the Haunted Menger Hotel!

Rumor has it Teddy Roosevelt haunts this hotel.

Many conversations with my Mother-in-Law have turned to this hotel. She so badly wants to stay here and now that I've found it she has to come to San Antonio to visit us and stay at this haunted hotel!!!

So Mom start planning your visit, we know exactly where it is and Kristie will be happy to know it's right next to the mall!

Box of Lights!

 

Today was another craft day in the Hartzell house! An friend from facebook posted a picture of her adorable son in a box and I knew Ruby needed the same box!

She had a blast helping me and got angry with me only a few times!

I quickly cleaned the house so we could enjoy this craft before our nap!

Supplies needed....box, knife & a string of Christmas lights.

She just loved walking around with the lights. She has been trying to take them off the Christmas tree for the past week!

I cut little "X's" in the box and then placed the lightbulb in there!

She of course had to try and put them in....She tried every light in the one slit I cut for her and keep her entertained that I didn't have to worry about accidently cutting or her or she getting in my way!

The end result! She isn't to sure about this "Light Box" but she is getting use to it! Just going in and laying in and then leaving after a minute or 2!!!

Rascal likes it to, there might be a fit in the near future over whose "Light Box" it really belongs to!!!

Little Miss did try and lock him in there and tell him  "Night!"

 

Dinner Time

I am one happy Mommy! I finally have all the chairs around my dinner table and no longer have to eat on the couch! Tommy was supose to stain them, they aren't finished but he was forced to put them together for Thanksgiving dinner. So now we eat dinner everynight at the dinner table and I have my living room back!!!


Lunch Time today was a turkey & cheese half sandwhich on wheat bread....oh lets not forget the Ketchup!!!

In the Hartzell house you notify everyone that you're done by placing your feet on the Table!!! Oh and we show our food off to anyone who looks!

And once the humans finish dinner the animals get theres, and today Rascal had a little help with his food!

 

I can say we are blessed to have such amazing animals! They have more patience then I do some days! Blu was starved as a puppy and Rascal...well he's just Rascal and hates most people! Yet they could care less when anyone places their hands in their food bowls!!!

I Love all my Babies....humane or not!
