A New Year!

Well I have been trying to post some awesome new pictures I took with my AWESOME new camera, but I think I have to format the pictures differently, like smaller, so they can upload.
If you haven't heard I got totally spoiled by the hubby this year. I really wasn't expecting to get anything big since we had some investments in November, like a new washer and dryer and a spare refrigerator. Those who have been reading the blog from the start know that we purchased a new washer only a couple of years back, a washer I named Vader. Well Vader was moved a total of 4 times without its proper packaging and somewhere along the way it sustained some damage and started to leak, J tried to fix it, but to no avail. So I got the go ahead to purchase a new set, and I spent the day on the internet and at stores trying to get the best price possible on the set we agreed on. I was super nervous spending that much on my own, since J stayed home with the boys...cause you know the boys would LOVE to come along and go to boring stores and shop for mommy and daddy things and would behave wonderfully....**wink wink** so I managed to buy our new top loading HE LG washer and dryer and it was delivered 5 days later...and we kept the washer insert this time so hopefully the next time we move there won't be as much stress put on the drum.
Well at the same time we were having some compressor problems with our cheap fridge we bought from Sears, again probably because of all that moving we have done, and things just weren't staying cold...it was kinda sketchy and I don't like the idea of food poisoning hitting the house, so I started searching on CraigsList to see what people had locally. Low and behold someone was selling a side by side with water and ice stainless steeled front fridge for the low price of $300...SOLD! It is maybe 5 years old and looks wonderful and could be a primary fridge the next time we move if needed. In my head I said Christmas was done...but J had a trick up his sleeve I guess ;)
Christmas Morning the boys were so excited to give me my gift, I thought how cute, but then they started piling more and more in front of me...the first one had me at hello...my Cannon Rebel T1i...NO WAY! Then came a long range lens, and a couple of books to help me figure it all out. This camera has some many features and just magically takes awesome pictures even on auto, that I have turned into a total paparazzi with the boys :P
Again once I figure out how to turn the images into suitable sizes for blogger be prepared for an onslaught of photos of just about anything and everything.
