A Very Merry Christmas with the Stults Family.....

Merry Christmas Everyone! We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year. We truly are more blessed than we deserve. I sometimes complain about all the places that we have to go but we are truly blessed to have so many family and friends that want to spend this wonderful holiday season with us. The kids, of course, received a ton of presents. I am still currently trying to find places for it all. My wonderful husband bought me an IPOD Touch! I was very surprised and I absolutley love it! Since we have been going non stop since the day before Christmas....I guess we will just start from the beginning....

Christmas Eve!!

Well, Christmas Eve started out very busy. I woke up at 5:30 to go to Wal-Mart so that I could get everything that I needed to cook and pick up the last few items I needed to get. You wouldn't think there would be that many people who would get up at the crack of dawn in order to go shopping on Christmas Eve....but you would have been surprised! Wal-Mart was PACKED! As soon as I got home, the girls were of course up and ready to go. I thought Olivia was going to jump out of her skin. We started the day off by making chocolate covered pretsels.




After cooking all of our goodies,the girls and I watched Christmas programs all morning. I love watching all of the shows that I use to watch growing up with my girls. That afternoon it was time to get ready to go to my sister-in-law's, Danyel, house and then to my Aunt Cyndi's. My friend Shannon made these adorable matching shirts for them to wear. As always, they turned out great!!!










Our first stop was at my sister-in-law's house (Danyel). We weren't getting to together to get presents. It was just so that we could all spend time together. We, of course, had a ton of food! Everything was sooo good. I got a great mexican dip recipe from Carmen. Here are some pics from our first stop:

Next, it was time for our Christmas celebration with my Dad's side of the family. My Aunt Cyndi always host the christmas eve festivities at her house. I took a ton of pics. I always love going to my Aunt's on Christmas Eve. I love the great food and we always play dirty santa which is always fun with our family. My mom made green bean bundles which were to die for!!! They were truly awesome! It started storming not long after we arrived at my Aunt's house. The wind was blowing everything all over the place and we kept praying the power wouldn't go out. Luckily it didn't and we had a wonderful time! Here are a couple of pics for the night:

Roll Tide!











Well, I guess that's enough for tonight. Stay tuned for part 2 of A Very Merry Christmas with the Stults Family............

Just a little video of Mylee playing "Where's the Baby?" with her Daddy.....

Day off....

Hello to Everyone! I am trying to better about updating my blog every night. My parents gave Sandon and I a laptop which makes it much more convenient to use. Today was my day off. I always feel like I should take full advantage of my dayoffs just because I rarely get them. My busy day really started the night before. We were having major issues with our plumbing. I won't gross you out with the details but lets just say that it was bad....Anyways, the plumber was suppose to come that evening but never made it. He wasn't able to come until the next morning....Today. Half of my day off was spent waiting on him. Luckily he did arrive by ten and fixed the problem. Apparently the roots from our neighbors tree pushed there way inside our pipes. Roots cut out...problem fixed. I went and surprised Olivia for lunch. I will just say that the lunch ladies at Payne Primary School have my utmost respect. It was utter chaos but Olivia was very excited that I came to eat with her. I just love the fact that you can go and eat lunch with your 6 year old and it makes her the happiest kid there. I just love being a momma! Next, Mylee and I went Christmas Shopping and then went back to pick up Olivia and then back home. So all in all it was a very productive day.

And of course I have to include pics of my little ones.....

Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Can you believe it's almost Christmas?

Let the Christmas Parties begin............

The holiday season has arrived!!!! We had a very busy weekend! Friday was our annual GNO Christmas Party. It was a blast! Amber was our host this year. I really have not laughed that hard in a long time. Here is a pic of all my girls..........



On Saturday we went to the annual Trussville Christmas Parade! Now normally we enjoy every minute of the Christmas Parade but not this year......it poured the entire time and it was FREEZING. I had told myself, as well as many others, that we would NOT GO if it was raining. I was planning on standing firm.....but of course, I caved! So, we bundled up and went to the parade. Because we were the only idots out there watching a parade in the rain I was able to find a parking spot right by the road and was able to sit in the warm car until the parade actually started. All in all it was good. It was definitley the quickest parade I have ever seen. Here are some pics from the day.












On Sunday we had a family Christmas Party to go to. Every year my mother-in-law's family has a Christmas Party at the Trussville Community Center. Here are some pics from the party.........











Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!

Update...........

Well it is that time of year again! Busy Holiday Time! Although, I do not know what the difference is from my life normally becuase I feel like I am pretty much busy all year long.

Things have been a little crazy. Two of my girlfriends, Morgan and Amy, have had their babies. Morgan delivered Ethan Brooks McKnight and he is abasolutely adorable and looks just like his daddy. Our Amy had beautiful little Braegan Teresa. She is gorgeous! All that is left is our little Amber!

We had Amber's baby shower last Sunday. I think everything turned out really great. I did not take pictures. I must have been busy the entire time. Below is a picture of the table that I did get. Everyone was able to see the baby's room and it turned out great. It was an Alabama themed baby room and so I may be a little partial to it! Roll Tide!


Saturday, Olivia had her final cheerleading game. It was a bittersweet ending. Their 75lb football players won the championship! Go Huskies!!! I am both happy and sad that is over. Now we only have a few week break and then it will be time for Soccer and then cheerleading gall over again.........the cycle never stops :)


I hope everyone has wonderful Thanksgiving. There are some many things that I am thankful for. I have a wonderful family who I love. I have two healthy and happy children. I have a husband who is both a wonderful father and husband. And I also have my girlfriends who are like sisters to me. They definitely make my life easier with all of their love and support. I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and blessed holiday!

Mylee Isabella Stults

I have decided to try to start posting different things about each child. I post all the time about stuff Olivia does and says but my sweet little Mylee sometimes gets pushed aside because she is just along for the ride on all of these trips. So this post is dedicated to my sweet little one, Mylee Isabella.

Let me tell you, I think she is just beautiful. It's amazing how different each of your children can be. Olivia is more like her momma. She is energetic, sassy and basically speaks what's on her mind, which is a lot like me. Mylee is really the complete opposite. Don't get me wrong, she can be sassy but she really all in all is more like her Daddy. She is sweet and very laid back. She loves music like her mother and loves to dance around the house with me. She is just the best baby. Mylee is getting so big. It makes me sad. She is talking and running all over the place. She loves her big sister and is her daddy's shadow. When she smiles that sweet little smile and tells me she loves me.....it makes my heart melt. I took her for her checkup the other day. I was so proud of her showing off to the doctor all that she knows. It's amazing how our children can point out their nose and eyes and we think they are a genius and are going to be the youngest Pulitzer prize winner! (which, of course, she will be)

She truly has been a blessing in our family and cannot imagine our world without her in it. I love you my sweet baby girl!!!

Below is some pics of our little genius!












I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Love to all,

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween to everyone!!! I hope everyone enjoyed their own Halloween festivities. We sure did!! This post is a little short but I wanted to post some pics and I will try to update again later in the week. On Saturday we went to my sister-in-law's house for a little Halloween party. We ate lasagna, pizza, bread and a ton of sweets! Plus all of the kiddos were able to go trick-or-treating together. We really did have a great time!
