Snow, Snow, & More snow!!!!

The gang at the top of the sledding hill...

Brax is getting ready for yet another trip down.

I swear the kid is fearless!

Adorable, what can I say!!!!

That a boy Brax, make everyone else work & you just stay along for the ride!!!

I knew I taught him well

Jer taking a little break, guess he needed some water!

Uncle Frank & Brax on the 4-wheeler!

I am really not sure who loved this more Frank or Brax!!!

Yet again, good job Brax...

Make Kassie do all the work!!

He's going to make a great supervisor or manager one day!

Oh My!!!

Jer is attempting to use a skateboard for a led,

hmmmmm.....

He's not so teenager anymore but it takes things like this to prove it!!

I love him for it anyway though,

cause it just shows he's still young at heart & plus it always makes for a great laugh!!!

Duchess loves the snow!!! She literally licked the snow for 5 minutes at a time!!

Brax cracked up!!!

Snow Sledding!!!

Check out our little dare devil!!!

We spent a lot of time over at aunt Faye & Uncle Frank's house during the snow storm.

The whole gang was there and we got really creative building snow ramps and trying new things on random items in the snow. Of course Brax was the smallest guy there but you would have never known because he was doing just what all the teenage boys were doing!! Check out Braxton jumping the ramp, I think we may have ourselves an Olympic sledder in training!!!

Snowapoolza 2011!!!

WINTER STORM

2011!!!

2011 started out with a real a punch as you can see,

I mean it doesn't snow like this in GA, EVER!!!

Needless to say we took full advantage of the white stuff. We played outside in our yard the first day of the entire week that the state was paralyzed by snow!

We had 6 inches of snow at our house, that hasn't happened in years!!

Brax was adamant about eating the snow but once he say mama do it then he jumped right in! He thought it was hilarious..... He would march around the yard from thing to thing and put his mouth on it and just laugh!!!

Late Monday evening we decided to take a family walk around the neighborhood since walking was our only means of transportation due to the roads being completely impassable, Crazy but so much fun!!! Duchess & Brax were checking on the horses in this pic.

We have a horse farm behind our house and B loves to see what the horses are up to. Needless to say they were not out and we did not see them for days!!!

The CRAZY Glazes'

The title of this blogs fits not only the pictures but also our family!

We are truly crazy and when you get all of us together. Something interesting is destined to happen and this time was no different.....

It was Christmas eve and all through Uncle Dan & Aunt Donna's house ran the Glaze bunch, we were all hungry for food and to find the next activity for the day. When what do you know, the game of Dirty Santa came our way.... There was a jelly fruit roll, Styrofoam airplane, poop freeze and fireworks were just a few of the gifts given. When the game was finally over you could see the minds of the Glaze men racing trying to configure what to do next. When all of sudden Jason said "give me that airplane & those fireworks and

c'mon guys let's go"

and what do you know, we end up with a fireworks show!!!

As you've seen in the pictures above all them men came up with the idea "let's fly an airplane with fireworks attached to it." It was a barrel of laughs because we all knew who was going to hold and yes that would be Jason and no the plane did not go far!! But the facial expressions along with all of the laughs were priceless and again we were left with yet another great Glaze experiment!!!

The mind boggling Glaze men!

Carly & Grandma, not sure if Grandma is scared and trying to kidnap Car from the madness or if she is just snuggling up to her. Whatever the reason be,

it sure made for a cute Kodak moment!

Ok, so the little guys have not fallen far from the tree....

Brax & Will decided to have their own fun with their cupcakes!

No fireworks but who can resist these two cuties!!!!

Just look at that face, it has "guilty" written all over it!

The Joys of Chirstmas Morning

WOW!!!

Look What Santa left....

Braxton absolutely loved handing out every one's gifts. He had waited so long to do this and he was so proud to finally get to give both dad & I our gifts that he had purchased at school.

Santa was so nice to eat Braxton's Peanut butter cookies & drink all the milk. Santa even wrote a letter to Brax and drew his picture on it. Braxton was very pleased with all of this and he was even more excited about how Santa left a "mess" in his chair at the table. Braxton could hardly believe Santa had set in his chair to eat when he visited our house and better yet Santa left cookie crumbs all in the chair, which Brax thought was the coolest thing, he told everyone that day that Santa made a MESS in my chair!!!!

Santa did a great job! WOW, look at that drawing!

"Glory to God, Gory to God forever!!"

Brax was singing this as he played his new guitar that Santa left for him.

That song is one of his favorites, he and Jer sing it together all the time. Jer usually plays guitar while Brax sings but now they both Play & sing!!

Even Duchess opened presents!!!

I am opening the Braxton's gift while is explaining to me that he bought this for me at school and how he went shopping for it.

It was a precious gift. He bought me a bracelet along with a plate that says:

Mom, I will always hold you dear to my heart!

Braxton is opening his stocking and you can see how excited he was with the M & M's that were in there. I will have to say Duchess looks pretty intrigued as well. I think she was trying to figure out how she can get her paws on them!!!

Here I go!!!

Brax attempting to ride his new Buzz Lightyear bike!

He loves it but is not quite sure of himself on it. We have to push him around while explaining as well as showing him how to use the pedals. He currently uses the pedals to rest his feet!! He's got great form but it just hasn't all come together yet but together we'll figure it out!!!

Getting Ready for Santa......

Christmas Eve brought many activities in order

to prepare for Santa's big visit....

First, we had to make Santa his favorite peanut butter cookies...

Next, came throwing the Reindeer food on the lawn so Santa & the reindeer knew exactly where to land. The reindeer really enjoyed their food per Santa's letter that he left.

Braxton is working hard on Santa's letter that he had to leave with his cookies & milk. Brax drew Santa's sleigh, a Christmas tree, reindeer and even wrote him a little note with lots of swirls & lines. Daddy helped Brax with some of the more complicated pictures, they both did a great job and I know Santa really liked the letter.

Here is the finished product of P-butter cookies & milk. This was Brax & I's project for the night. He helped make & place the cookies on the plate. He even pored Santa's milk in a special Santa coffee mug.

We have decided to make all of these activities a tradition at our house, we started them last year and enjoyed it so much that we plan to do them for years to come. We finish out the night by gathering together in Braxton's room and dad reads Twas Night Before Christmas along with the The Christmas Story from the Bible. We really want Brax to know what Christmas is all about and we feel that these are good ways to teach him that family & love are far more important than presents. We also teach him that Jesus was the ultimate gift that God gave us. We thank God for the birth of his beautiful Son that did and continues to do so much for us each & everyday of our lives.
