It's All in the Eyes

Umm, it is wrong to believe that in order to have a child, you should be required to have a DSLR camera. I am just in love with this camera and I really don't know what I did before now. The pictures just do not compare!

{Merry Christmas from the Imhoffs}

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all of you were blessed to be with family and friends over the holiday weekend, I know we were. We were crazy busy, but it was a a great kind a busy. Holidays are so much more exciting with the kids then they ever were, that's for sure. Of course Braeden and Bayler were spoiled rotten, just like they should have been :)

I was also spoiled this year. Ryan got me a brand spanking new camera. I had been using this little dinky fuji camera for a while now, and it was just not taking good pictures. It would have been fine if it was just Ryan and I, but I REALLY wanted to capture the kids while they were little and get some great pictures. SO, he got me a Nikon DSLR camera ... words can not describe how much I love this camera ... it's pretty much my dream! And now, everyone in the house has to go along with me and pretend that I am a professional photographer from now on! haha ... I am not close at all, but I tell you, this camera really does make you feel like one!

Here are a few of my favorite photos ... more to come, but I just took these tonight!







Happy Holidays from The Imhoffs!

Santa at Bass Pro

Monday, Ryan and I were able to take both kids to our local Bass Pro Shop to go see Santa. I really didn't know what to think before we arrived ... Santa at Bass Pro? Last year I had taken Braeden to see Santa at our mall and it was ummm ... kind of pathetic. Santa wasn't even in his suit, he was just in a white and green shirt with over sized pants ... I was NOT impressed. Oh, and did I mention it cost us $25.00 to get a picture. What a rip off. It was horrible picture quality too!! Since when did people start taking advantage of little kids who want to see Santa??

So anyways, we pulled up at Bass Pro and walked in side and I was amazed. It was completely decorated like Santa's workshop, they had a a place for kids to write letters, a place to play with toys, Nerf toys, reindeer, elves ... it was the real deal!

So we got in line, which was ONE family long, compared to the 20 minute wait at the mall, and got the kids ready to see Santa. It was SO cute. There was no way that Braeden was going to sit on his lap, but he did want to give him a "high five!" Bayler just sat there like usual, just taking it all in and smiling! Santa asked Braeden what he wanted to Christmas, and of course, Braeden said "choo choo." Hrmm ... I don't think mom and dad got that ... maybe I'll have to do some late night shopping on of these days, because that is seriously ALL he is talking about! The picture actually turned out pretty good too. You should have seen Ryan's face when the "elves" told him the picture was free ... oh my gosh, it was like a kid of Christmas morning! I really hope that Bass Pro continues to have Santa there each Christmas, the kids loved it, I enjoyed looking around, and Ryan found a million things he would love! Thank God I did not have to take the kids the Jeff mall again!!

All Girls Need a Best Guy Friend

I am one of those self-proclaimed girls that have just always gotten along better with guys. I'm not really sure why that is, because I am DRAMA prone, but I have never been a fan of it. The first couple years of high school I hung around a group of guys who I adored. They were Indian, Hungarian, Russian, etc. It was an odd group, but we were all really close. Around my junior year of HS I had a great guy friend named Brad, we had some great times together. I left for college without any of them ... but, I ended up meeting ...

Jared. Love him to death! I met this sweet little innocent guy at my friend Dani's house, and after that ... we were bound. We went out every weekend together, lived next to each other for a year, judged each other's dates up and down, and well, got in trouble together. Once he graduated, I really wasn't sure where we would end up ... Jared lives in KC now where is family is, and you all know I live in a small town about 2 hours away... annoying! What is a girl going to do when her best guy friend isn't around?

Jared and his sister Priscilla came to visit Ryan and I on Friday ... I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time! I just love their company! So glad they came down and were able to see my kids! I can't wait to take the kiddos to KC in a couple of months and hang out with his family and nephews (same ages as Braeden & Bayler.)

I took Jrod and Perky to a local bar here in town, we were just able to sit and relax, have a few drinks and tell some funny stories ... I think every story about Jared and I makes me want to pee my pants! I just think that every girl needs a great guy friend, who never let's them forget when you fell off of a bar stool, almost hit a car in the McDonald's drive thru, and for reminding me that I was not raised by wolves and that there are only 5 wheels on rollerblades, not 16!

Love you Jared ... Thanks for all the great memories!
