More cute pictures!

Hey all....here are just a few cute ones we took yesterday. Drew is wearing his cute Purdue outfit that he finally fits into...sort of!

There is absolutely nothing better!!! Make sure you check out the pictures below if you haven't already.....ENJOY!

It's funny now.....

So, we have been doing a lot of work lately in our spare room which is also our "office". We just finished our taxes a couple of weeks ago and are now organizing a bunch of stuff. This also includes shredding a bunch of old paperwork we don't need anymore. I was a little nervous that Drew would be afraid of the paper shredder, but he is actually fascinated by it. He will stand there and watch it for a long time! Now....after he's done watching and you walk out of the room for a second....this is what happens!



Hey, he had a blast doing it and he even helped me clean it all up! And he's cute.....and he's lucky he is! Ha ha!

Now on to bigger and better things. This really needs no explanation....

Needless to say, the little booger got in HUGE trouble and got a time out! Kyle said he was lucky that mamaw was holding him when we found it or he would have gotten a spanking too. I think he learned, though, because every time he looked at his hand he said, "No No No." Thank goodness for Magic Erasers....the sharpie came off everything!! Another fun and exciting adventure in the land of the Drew Man!

Being a Mommy

I have to say that there is no greater sound than hearing your child call out, "Mama!" There is no greater feeling than your child's little arms around your neck for a hug. I can't even describe how much I love being a mommy. I was down the hall from Drew's classroom at church tonight and I heard him let out the biggest giggle. I walked down and peeked through the two way window (he can't see me) and saw him laughing at his teacher blowing cotton balls across the table. They were talking about how God made the wind and he loved watching those cotton balls fly across the table and even tried to do it himself! What a little miracle I have been blessed with! I adore him and love watching him grow and change every day!

Here are a few pictures from last weekend when Kyle's parents were in town.

This is at the mall....what a sweet picture of all the Turner boys!

Drew and Uncle Cody watching a fascinating DVD of the Wiggles!

This is Drew and his Bum pa (or however you spell it!)

Playing Outside

Well, we had our first decent day out where it wasn't freezing, snowing, or raining so we decided to take Drew outside. I wasn't sure how he would do, but we thought we would give it a try!!

He is playing in his car while mommy and daddy get ready!

These are the piles at either side of our driveway.

Drew is helping Daddy break up the ice at the end of the driveway.

We have had so much snow this winter and we are supposed to get more tonight! Weather.com says that it's only supposed to be 1-2 inches.....but we will see! In other news we have been super busy lately! Last week we got to watch Taylor play basketball and Bo play hockey and then we got to eat at La Estacion! Yummy! Kyle and I were able to go out with some friends of ours on Friday and Saturday night. I felt kinda bad leaving Drew with a sitter two nights in a row, but Kyle and I RARELY go out together, and his babysitters are AMAZING. We have two college girls who are both training to be nurses. They had him in the nursery at church and fell in love with him (who wouldn't), so I asked them to babysit. They are wonderful and I don't have to worry one bit! That's the best part! So, this week we are busy again (as usual), but Kyle's parents are coming to visit this weekend so that will be a blast. I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

A Snow Day

Today we have gotten about 6-7 inches of snow so far with another 6-7 on the way! Yikes!! So, the Turner family and most of southeastern Wisconsin are having a snow day. The Edge and XStream are cancelled. It is the first time in 3 1/2 years that we have had to cancel it because of weather. I am excited because we get to be home all day! There is no pressure to go anywhere and so we can get some things done around the house and relax some too!

Since we really aren't doing too much today I thought I would update you all with some pictures! Enjoy!

Here is Drew watching Wiggles on his little couch.

Drew is "helping" Mommy by organizing the pantry.

Still "helping".

Yummy Ketchup!

Another big gap

So, again it's been a long time since I posted anything. Sometimes I just figure I'll wait till I get some more pictures to post, and other times I think about it and get busy.

Anyway, the new year has started off great and I can't believe it's already the 21st of January! I had my small group start up again, programming for the jr. and sr. high started up again last week, and we have been getting back to our normal routine. The holidays bring about a lot of fun and travel, but sometimes it's hard to get back into "real" life.

The Edge and XStream (our student programming) started off with a bang and we are excited to see where the semester takes us. Drew started staying home with a sitter during this time and it makes it a lot easier for mommy! A couple of girls who work in the church nursery are watching him and it's been awesome! They love him so much, so it puts my mind completely at ease!

Speaking of Drew, he is completely infatuated with the Wiggles. Fortunately I like them as well! He always wants to watch them and has begun learning some of the dances and animal sounds--it's so cute! The good thing is that he doesn't just sit down and watch....he'll watch for a bit and then play, dance with them, then play. So, I don't feel bad for having it on because he isn't planted in front of the tv and he is learning a lot! Much to Kyle's excitment Drew seems to be running to him more for comfort. He seems to want as well during the snuggly times and actually gets upset sometimes when Kyle leaves. Kyle is convinced he is becoming a "daddy's boy". It is so cute!

Well, I better go for now...Drew should be waking up from his nap soon and I need to take advantage of the last minutes before the little feet start running again!

The long awaited Christmas pictures...
