I just have to share one of Crew's many funnies.

This boy is only three years old and has some seriously hilarious personality going on.

I laugh daily over the amusing things he says to me.

Yesterday morning during our nutritious breakfast meal

 of fruit loops and white hot chocolate, 

{Crew is on a white hot chocolate kick right now}

I noticed Crew had spilled some of his drink on the table.

Not a big deal but I looked up at him.

He looks right at me,  pointing his finger straight at me,

and very seriously goes on to say,

 "Mom, don't say anything to me!!!!"

I nicely replied with, "did you spill a little bit?"

Crew repeats himself but more sternly this time saying,

 "Mom.  I.  Said.  Don't. Say. Anything. To. Me!"

as he says this he is walking over to the kitchen

drawer to get a dishtowel. He wipes up the spill.

Looks at me again, smiling this time and says,

 "it's okay Mom! All clean!" :)

I ultimately found the whole thing to be hilarious

but maybe I need to work on my reaction to when my kids do mess up???

Crew obviously knew what was coming!!!

I love this little guy with every fiber of my being.

Crazy love!!!!

 Some of you may not know this about me but

I am shamelessly and hopelessly addicted to Pinterest.

It has completely taken over my life.

Not even kidding here people!

I don't even sleep anymore.

I just stay up all hours of the night 

pinning my little heart away.

I must say I have a pretty awesome life

on Pinterest.

 I have come to realize that I am an addict

in every sense of the word.

Wow, did I seriously just admit to all this???

I need to get a real life.

I am going to actually try something I have pinned

instead of just looking at it on my beautiful pinboards.

So last night....

I made these adorable

 PiNk Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.

 This here is a pic of the cookies I found on Pinterest.

The recipe for these cookies is a shortbread cookie

recipe that received horrible reviews.

I decided to use my own recipe and just

add pink gel to the batter.

Why not???

So I did and they turned out fabulous.

I think mine even look just like the pic above.

The kids went nuts over them.

I even sent a plate over to the neighbors.

They claimed to love them too.

I will for sure be making these again but

I will wait for Valentines Day this time!

 Landen with a plate of cookies for our neighbor Malinda.

 PiNk cookie dough!

What's not to love???

 Landen took this pic for me. Love the kids eye view. lol

 The kids are so helpful.

As soon as they hear the mixer they all come running.

Everything tastes better in PiNk!!!!

December 19th 2011

Annual Lowry Family Christmas Party

 Matt & Sara Staker's home in Provo UT.

Naturally, Crew fell asleep on the drive down.

He was asleep for most the party.

How can little kids do this with such ease???

Getting a few snapshots in before all the guests arrive...

 Mindy, Megan & Rachelle

 Me and my Code Man!

My sweet boys who are trying not to die while I

make them take a few pics with me.

 My mom made these adorable olive penguins!

 Mom & Uncle Dave

 Ready, Set.....

Let's Eat!

 Mom & Dan

 Hubby and Me

Crew still sleeping.

Let me remind you he is sleeping right

where everyone is hanging out! So loud!

Shari, Annsley & Trevor

...

After dinner we started the
Minute to Win It 
games. So funny!

 Kids went first. Stacking cups game.

Love Cody's tongue here! lol

 Then the adult's gave it a go.

This game was awesome for the really little kids.
I was bummed Crew was asleep for this, he would
have absolutely loved this one.
The kids each have a new unopened box of Kleenex.
They have to open it and pull out all the Kleenex as fast as they can,
Thaxton was the winner! :)

This game is always hilarious.
You have to get the cookie into your mouth
without using anything but your face.
Trevor won this round.

Still sleeping Crewbie.

These girls had bubble gum balls. Chew it up and blow
the first bubble. My Mom won! Woo Hooo!

My cousins and I had to create suction through a straw
and pick up M&Ms. The first one to have all theirs in
a cup wins. Mindy & I tied for first place!

We played several more games but I did not get pics of them.
Next it was time to open presents. We had the kids go first.
and guess who finally joined us....

I actually went and woke him up. I knew he would
really be sad if he missed this part.

 The boys!

 Crew got a paint with water book. Love these!!!!

Cody and Landen got these cool led lights.

After the kids were finished opening their presents
we sent them downstairs. Then things really get
going when it's time for the adults gifts. lol

Again, no pics, but had such a great time.
Always my favorite part of the night.
Matt and I went home with pretty good gifts.
Others were not so fortunate but that is what
makes it so funny!

Before leaving to head home I wanted to get
a few shots with my family. We failed to get a
family pic this year and no Christmas cards sent.
So this was my weak attempt at trying to pull it together.
We managed a few good pictures but that was
as far as I got. Sorry to all my friends and relatives
who were looking forward to my Christmas card.
We will try again next year! :)

Love this face :)
