Puppy and Running

Stacey got a new puppy - so I had to play with him..he's very cute. (Jace is too.)

We were playing with Stacey's Wii Fit and they have a running game - but we couldn't quite figure out what the game wanted us to do...but we did have fun watching Seth try :)

Family and Babies

I love these people!

Here is my steamin' hot husband....literally.

His whole body was steaming after he scooped the driveway :)

Christmas 2008

Woo Hoo Twilight :)

I have no idea....

I love Jana and Mindy's faces as they see their Christmas bikes come rolling in :)

I got Murray some beggin bits for Christmas..he tackled me once he smelled the "bacon" :)

Scrabble!!!

These are pictures of when Lianne finally made it to North Liberty - only about 24 hours late...boo for ice storms!! We were all super excited to see her.

The boys find something very funny about this video...I don't fully understand. They say Jaron uses "the force" on Seth at one point.

Winter Wonderland

This snow storm has made one thing very clear to us - we need a snowblower or a much bigger shovel. 

This is all the hard work Seth did at 5:30am - he worked for an hour and a half and got one lane of the driveway cleaned off...yikes.

The magnificent tool he used. And this is the shovel we just ordered online:

Thanksgiving!

Ahh...Thanksgiving.

Naughty boys standing up when I wanted to just take a picture of the family sitting down and eating.

Obviously Micah is the biggest turd. 

Yumms

Mom happened to find the top layer of my wedding cake...in the fridge. I have been married for 1 year and 108 days. Yikes. 

Not as bad as we were expecting.

And of course - I had to see Stace and Jace :)

He is a fantastic picture taker.

To end the Thanksgiving weekend, the entire Van Gorp clan headed to Minneapolis for the Vikings/Bears games. It was a night game so we didn't get home until 4 am..yikes. But it was a great game to go to :)
