White Trash America

We were looking over our blog today and decided that we look entirely too yuppie. We don't want people to get the impression that we are fancies. The following pictures will hopefully convince you all that we, in fact, lean to trashies. It will also give you a smattering of what we have been up to for the past couple weeks.

Obviously, Jesse. Note in this picture the following:

1- Jesse's pants. Although he would like to think that the hipster kids would appreciate the brown, fuzzy patch/pocket and make his pants look high-end-gangsta', it really is nothing more than a crappy patch put on by el-cheapo so that he won't have to go buy a new pair. He would like to mention, the brown fuzzy pocket is completely functional. This material was from an old curtain that used to hang in Finn's room.

2- Sunglasses- This is actually a pair of sunglasses that G-ma Kris got after her cataract surgery a few weeks ago. Jesse thinks his boy Kayne would appreciate these but this is debatable seeing that the brand "Eye Shield" is not exactly dope.

3- Location- Laramie, WY. Just the fact that we were there says a lot about us.

Lest you think Jesse is the only trashie, a picture of Lindy sporting the eye shields. We were a little hesitant to post this picture because she is talking on a cell phone, maybe giving you the impression that she is fancy. She cusses on the phone all the time.

We were in Denver last week, totally mooching off our good friends, Nic and Casey. Here is a picture of our evidently homeless little boy jumping on their trampoline.

This really isn't too trashie but the fact that Jesse thinks he is really a rock star when he is playing this game isn't too fancy either. Finn was totally rocking as well, despite what you might think after this picture and his crossing legs pose.

This is in Denver at our friends' home, scooting around with baby Ashly. We let our booger tromp around in his diaper anytime, anywhere.

Yep, that's us. The family that lets their kid play in the fountain at the nice mall. The floor gets all wet and then we joke about somebody slipping and falling on it. We laughed even more when a sweet little old lady walked in that direction a few moments after we left the soggy mess.

We have crazy time a lot. We just say, "Finn, time to be crazy," and let what will be, be.

We are done with the trashie and fancie talk now. Hopefully we have gained a little street cred. This is a picture of Finn Diego and Maddi hitting the slide in Denver. Jesse had a week off so we took advantage and drove out there to see friends with babies that were born after we left. We had a great time and plan to mooch off everybody again soon. Jesse mentioned that he really felt sick as they were driving into town because he loves Denver so much. It was 70 degrees while we were there. Coming back to freezing, snowy O-town was a little bit of a downer.

At the Denver Zoo with Blake and metal gorilla.

A weird animal. If you know the name of this beast, you are the winner.

Lastly, Neil and Becky jamming. Becker looks like she is in a very happy place and Neil looks like he plays this way more than he admits. We spent a couple days in Salt Lake after our Denver trip and may have to post more pictures later- we are tiring fast.

New year, New baby, New age.

It has been an eventful last few weeks. We went to Pocatello to go visit Jesse's sister Rachel who just had a beautiful little girl. It was so fun to get away for a day and hold a new baby. Finn had so much fun playing with his cousin Ava. She is such the little mother and would always keep Finn in take and tell him when it was nap time, time to eat, or take a bath. She is just too cute. Lindy's Dad and his wife came up from Richfield to celebrate a late Christmas, and while they were here we went sledding and enjoyed a nice dinner out at Iggy's. Lindy also turned 28..... and was spoiled rotten which also included 3 birthday parties. So it has been busy around here... but lots of fun.

I stole this off of Rachel's blog. But this is beautiful baby Maela

And the cute as always Ava... This was after her and Finn were jumping on the bed all morning!

Opening presents with Grandma and Grandpa Freeman, and also Jeff, Taisi, Braxton and Kennedy.

That is really Jesse with his traditional Christmas beard... which it is always my birthday wish for him to shave it right back off!

This picture just makes me laugh.

This is a video of Finn doing Head Shoulders Knees and Toes!!

Merry Tismas - As Finn would say!

Well another year has almost come to an end. It has been a crazy couple of weeks trying to fit in all the holiday parties and Jesse being on-call on Christmas which meant we were able to celebrate Christmas a day early which was great and a little sad...but all in all it was a lot of fun. It was so nice to hang out with family and do our Christmas traditions. Here are just a few pictures from the last two weeks! We hope that you all had a great Christmas and we hope that you have a Happy New year!

All the cousins with Santa at the Angus family Christmas party and of course...Jesse was on-call

Oh how sweet

Who needs toys when you can just have a box!

Our Finners

Jesse's mom made all the kids matching Christmas jammies. The kids just loved them and they all looked so cute.

Random picture of Finn becoming a big boy. He loves to sit on the potty and sometimes something happens but most of the time...nothing!! But he is getting there right!

We have just been hit with snow lately and here is Finn's first official playing in the snow day

This is Finn's new favorite thing to do. He throws all the cushions off the couch and then the jumping begins!

Finn and his buddy Dax being boys

They got some pretty good air on this one!

Grandma Kris gave us a Wii for Christmas and here is Jesse and Finn showing off their skills

Lindy's brother received a Wii for Christmas also so they came over to play. And these are his two cute kids and Finn playing with Unle Jeff

Lindy's brother got Finn a Nerf Dart set for Christmas and Finn and his buddy Dax were testing it out. They look pretty sweet don't they!

Reminiscing!

Me and my permanent date partner -Finn went to have lunch with some of my girlfriends from High School. It is very rare when we can all get together. But Korryn was in town at we met at Rumbi's for lunch. It is so funny getting together , you seem to talk about all the old flames from High School and who you have seen lately. It was really nice to see all of them. Here is a picture from our date!Erin, Debbie, Finners, Korryn, and Me

This is Debbie, Me, Korryn and Erin when we were Juniors in High School. It is a crappy pre- digital picture so I apologize, but I thought it was fun!

And some Random pictures of our cute boy!

When I am getting Finn ready for bed he always like to give me loves. It is the cutest thing he just wraps his little arms and legs around me and I love it.

Finn being a good boy and brushing his teeth

He is a little monkey. He loves to jump on our bed!


Giving Elmo kisses

This is Finn's new favorite thing. He loves to dump all of my shoes out and play in box. He will take it out and push it all around the house.
