Grinch-ish

Anyone else worried about seeing 3 ghosts on Christmas eve like I (Marty) am? I think that the only reason that I have not seen "The trio", as I call them is because I live with Jill. And she is full of it...Christmas cheer that is. I usually am fully into my grinch suit by now but I am making a big effort to not be so bah-humbug! I can slowly feel myself slipping back into my suit each time I go to the store, I'm looking at you Wal-mart. Everytime I come out of that place with my migrane and my cheap stuff in the cart in front of me. I swear getting out of there alive is a battle. Each time I get home I swear I am never going to go there again, but that only lasts a week till I need something else. Every year I swear that there are going to be no presents just a card in everone's stocking that reads, "$50 was given to ______ in your name." Fill in the blank with "The Troops" or "Cancer research." I can see all of the little mushroom clouds over certain people's heads already begining to form. But isn't that what it is all about. I often say dont get me anything cause honestly I don't need anything. I feel bad thinking that people feel like they need to get me something. If I got a half set of encyclopedias or a horrible looking hoodie face hat thing I would be more than happy. Well I will hopefully continue to only have my feet in this year but I swear push me over the edge people and I will be suited up before you know!

I really hope everyone has a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!

Family Pics! (There are a lot sorry!)

So here are just some, just in case we dont get around to sending out Christmas Cards! The lady who took them did a great job and we are soooo happy with the results.

Classic Ize Stare!

She got tired of this pose quickly.

Thats a leaf in her paws, it was the only way to get her not to cry!

Good looking bunch!

Holding a leaf up above her, sucker!

My favorite picture of her! The best face!

Well there some pics of the fun time that we had taking our first family pics! We hope you like them!

It's begining to look a lot like......

We put up our tree yesterday! Which is really early for us. Usually we realize the week of that we haven't put it up and then we rush to do so. Ize was there to help us this year. Can you believe that she is almost a year old! Too weird how fast it goes. Well I am trying not to get visited by 3 ghosts this year so Merry Christmas!

Well there you go! See ya later!

Halloween-I know this is a little late.

So this is a little old but I wanted to let everyone see what Ms. Ize was up to on Halloween. She started off really happy, but I think she grew tired of her father, who should have been dressed as a papparazzi, taking pictures.


She got into a fight with her headband, and won....eventually!

Finally victorious!

I kinda feel bad but this is my favorite picture from that night! We love you Ize.

She loves grabbing hair. Sorry mom!

Ize the Pumpkin and Jill the nerd. Jill is wearing all my clothes, is she trying to say something......

Pre trick or treaking activities.....watch TV of course.

A little tipsy as the night wore on!

The hat was so big on her, she has a bigger head but it was no match for the pumpkin/pope hat.

Really Dad, are we done yet?

Well she figured out how to get out of it.

It was a fun night and we actually got a few trick or treaters, we usually get none. We hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween.
