Auntie M & Kinley

Well I just thought I did not have anything to blog about. I almost forgot my most favorite pictures from Christmas. I got a couple of pictures of me and Kinley at mom's after we finished opening presents. She is such a ham! I love this little girl so much and I cant stand being so far away from her. I feel like I miss so much of her growing up. And I can't stand it! Hope you enjoy the few pictures that I did get of the two of us. She is such a little worm that I am just glad I got her to sit still long enough to even get one shot.
I titled this post AUNTIE M and Kinley. However my mother has taught her to call me M&M since she cant say Auntie M. SO well just have to see exactly what she ends up calling me.

I GOT NOTHIN'

Well folks as you could probably tell from the lack of blogging. There is not much going on around the Herring Household right now. So unfortunately I don't have anything to write about. However we are going out of town this weekend and have a couple of things planned so maybe, just maybe I'll have some good new pics to post after the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed..

I told you I was ADDICTED

I know most of you think I am crazy. But WHATEVER!!! But for Christmas Jeff's sister bought me the book Multiple Bles8ings, by Jon & Kate Gosslelin. I started reading it last Wednesday and finished it last night. I am not sure why I am in love with this family. But for whatever reason I am. Like I said before I realize on TV Kate is a total nut case. But after reading their book. I can not disagree with one decision they made for their family. I know that without a doubt if me and Jeff were faced with any of the same decision to make. We would do exactly the same.

So for the ones out there that cant stand her. Please for once take my word on it and read the book. You wont be able to put it down I promise.

HIGHLIGHTER

Ok a bit of history.... When my mom was in High School she was on the drill team. To which she was called a "HIGHLIGHTER." To this day me and my sister have no idea why she only remembers ONE dance. But for all these years we have all know which one it is........ So you have probably guessed where this is going by now. She has managed to teach Kinley how to be a highlighter. And not only that but she has taught her that ONE dance. But I will admit it is pretty darn cute. I wish I had some video of her but for now all I have is a couple of pictures.

You can only imagine how proud Nana is!!!

Get Your Motor's Running

Head out on the highway.... Lookin for adventure.......

How cute are my niece and nephew. Connor and Kinley got these cool 4 wheelers from Nana and Papa for Christmas. Connor was all over his before we could get it out of the box. It was too windy to take them out side for a ride so they just rode all over the living room. Either way they did didn't care.

Connor and Kinley on their 4wheelers

"Connor, are you ready to blow this joint?"

And their OFF...

Kinley burning up the road already.

As I said earlier. He couldn't wait to get it

out of the box....

New Years Eve!!!

Well this post is a couple of days late. But better late than never right. I was looking back through my pictures from this night and to be honest with you, I don't hardly have any and the ones I do have are not that great. I'm not exactly sure why either. But I'm sure the alcoholic beverages had absolutely nothing to do with it. Anyhow. We went over to Scott and Lori's for New Years Eve. We had a great time as always. Lori fixed some great appetizers and we had a few drinks. For the majority of the time we sat around the bar and played JENGA.... I don't think any of us had any idea we would have had so much fun playing this game. Me and Lori are champs though. Never once did either one of us knock that little tower down. We rang in the new year watching the ball drop in time square but like always I was down for the count about an hour later. With Jeff waking me up off the couch at 2AM. I guess I'm getting to old for this.
Anyways here are a few of the pictures that I did get.. And like I said earlier they really are not that good.

Me and Lori (again pic not so good)

Contemplating their next move.

More Pictures

I know if am a little behind. OK alot behind on my picture posting. I promise New Years Eve pic's are coming. Bare with me people!!!!!

Christmas Night at the Herring's

I know this post is a little late but I felt the need to keep everything in order. After we had Christmas with my family, we headed out to Jeff's parents house. We ate, dinner, opened gifts and just hung out. We had a really good time. It's not often that we get everyone under one roof so it was nice just to hang out and catch up. Here are a few of the pictures that I was able to get from this adventure. Unfortunately, I was not able to get many.
