Christmas Morning!

This little video clip is absolutley hilarious! Ellie was given a "Doodle Bear" for Christmas. Her response to the question "what do you do with it" is too funny. Enjoy the clip!

Merry Christmas!

This year there will be no Christmas cards. Not like I ever really got around to doing Christmas cards in past years! However, I thought a virtual Christmas card/letter on my blog site would be a great way to keep everyone updated. So here it goes, here's the run down on all of the Dains family.

Rick is still working at Home Depot. He was recently moved from working the midnight shift back to working days. Working 10pm-7am and then having to take care of the kids all day just about killed him! I am still with Wireless Resources. This August will be my 5 year anniversary.

This year Rick and I spent time re-doing our house. We tore out the carpet in our dining and living room and put down hardwood. Rick also installed a fence all around the back yard. It kept the dog in for the short while that we had her!

Nicholas is in the 5th grade this year. The child is almost taller than me! Nicholas' passion in life is computer/video games. What ever happened to Pac-Man and Dig-Dug? The games these days are so involved!!! Nicholas has also spent this year working on his money collection. I've always said if one of my kids is going to be rich someday it will be Nicholas! He collects everything from coins and currency from other countries to unique money finds. He's a good kid.

Ellie is my princess! She is so stink'in sweet. She just had her 4th birthday. Ellie is most known for her unique style. This girl will change her outfit 10 times a day. Sometimes she'll wear numerous outfits all at once. It's not rare to find her wearing her bathing suit under outfits, just in case some one might want to go for a swim (it's freak'in cold here.....the girl is such an optimist!).

Aiden just turned 2 years old. He is the spitt'in image of his father. He loves any thing sports related and anything that is boyish. He is also a very tender little boy. Every day this month that little sweetie has wished me a Merry Christmas! I guess he's really excited for Santa to come!

This year I've learned a lot. Most importantly I've learned to be thankful for all that I've been blessed with. I hope that 2007 brings happiness to all my friends and family! (I know that was a little cheesy, but what the hell, it's a Christmas card!). Merry Christmas!

Rick's IQ

Rick is smarter than we all thought! After a long night and a very full stomach from eating at Red Robin Rick finally agreed to take an IQ test. I thought for sure he wouldn't score higher than me.....I guess this is what I get for being so arrogant!

How Smart Are You?

I can only imagine how bright I really am. Let me explain, while I was taking that IQ test I had Aiden literally climbing all over me, Ellie rollerskating in the dining room in the buck, and the TV blaring in the background. I should also mention that it's only 8am.....not that that's a huge factor, but I haven't really even woken up yet. I'll just assume that I'm much brighter than the test has marked me as.
