I am alive!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am alive and that the boys and TJ are well too. I haven't had much time to do anything on here...well let's face it, what is really that exciting in our lives these days? Our conversations revolve around "did you get x's mortgage interest statements yet?" "Did we get the QuickBooks file for that client?" "how late are you working tonight...should I have Mom pick up the boys?" See, there isn't anything exciting to report. Well I guess it is exciting that Matthew's flag football team just finished up their season undefeated! They have their tournaments next weekend so wish us well. I hope to get more pictures up so everyone can see how my boys are growing. We think of all of you often! An just know that if it were not for American Idol, 24, Grey's Anatomy & LOST...I don't know how I would be getting through tax season! :-) LOVE my DVR! Hope everyone is well! See you April 16th!! :-)

Cards lost!

Started to get ready for the Super Bowl party at our friends house and was load things up for Luke...he fell asleep. So I decided to wait until he woke up to go to the party...he was in one of his "terrible 2" moods so the nap was going to be a great thing. He fell asleep on the couch and fell off and started to cry so I picked him up and started to rock him in the rocking chair and...next thing I knew...there was only 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. I fell asleep! I NEVER take naps during the day so I must have really needed that sleep! I loaded Luke up and we joined the party at half time.

So sad the Cardinals lost, but am so proud of how far they went this year! It was so exciting to see them achieve so much! Matthew is a HUGE football fan and got very upset when they lost! I didn't have my camera, but my friend Barbara had her phone so she took this picture and one of her little guy who was also very upset too! The picture is very grainy, but you get the idea how bummed he was...never like to see them cry!

For my Dear Friend Amanda...

Update!

Just kidding. Was cleaning up some stuff and found these priceless photos...my oh my how I have aged!!!! I am starting to see crows feet around my eyes!

The six of us at Ryan Hunt's wedding...

Look at this "YOUNG" couple...when was this? Junior High?

This is Matthew after he was done enjoying his chocolate pudding...

Here is Luke after his chocolate pudding...Can you tell we like chocolate pudding?

The 2008 Warin Christmas

With all our crazy schedules we decided to have our Christmas on the 23rd. It was much easier than trying to get it all done on the 24th or rushing around on the 25th. Mom made chili and potatoe soup. YUMMY!

Here is a link to some of the pictures...

Go Cats!!!!

TJ is getting ready to pull his pants down...

Well here they are...the long awaited photos of Matthew and TJ wearing thier Arizona shirts with pride! Devil pride that is! As I take their pictures for prosperity, they include the pitch fork sign on thier fingers! It kind of looks like a gang sign, huh. Anyways, we have started the tradition in our family, that the annual U of A versus ASU game will result in the losing team will have to wear the winners shirt to our family Christmas. I am not sure if the Butler's and the Haney's are in on the bet, but we Casey's will be starting this new tradition.

I have more pictures from Christmas that I will post later, but thought I could at least get these out before I jump into bed. Hope you enjoy as much as we all did! :-)

They could be related!

Don't you think these guys look a like?

While TJ, Matthew, and some of their friends came over to our house to watch the Cardinals game, I went to help Mom get her Christmas decorations put away and take her Christmas lights down. I was about to leave and I asked Mom to turn the last 2 minutes of the game to see who won so I could see what kind of mood I would find once I got there. Good news the Cardinals won! Yea for them...Anyways, I was watching them interview Kurt Warner, who is from Iowa, and I thought "boy, Ryan Roe and Kurt Warner look alike". What do you think?

Breakfast with Santa

We had breakfast with Santa this morning. My oh my...what an event. It was fun, but Santa is so popular this time of the year. It was an experience. But the boys were able to say Hi to Santa and Matt got to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas...Madden 2009. If you haven't figured this out....my son is a sports fanatic!

This was Luke's first meeting with Santa. He wasn't so sure. He didn't cry, but he just sat on his lap and would not look up. We were calling his name trying to get him to look up so we could take a picture, but all that he would do was try and look up at me with his eyes and not lift his head. Not a totally bad experience though. He was a little happier after he received a candy cane.

A kiss from Mommy to make it all better!

Each of the boys were given a toy from Santa. Matthew received this really cool game called Hyper Dash. It looks like a lot of fun. TJ says it looks like advanced Simon. It can be played inside or outside. Santa said it would be great when friends are over and they can have little races or something. Pretty cool.

Luke got a new Dora movie. You won't believe it, but Luke is in LOVE with Dora, too. (Matthew used to LOVE her when he was 3 or 4). He was very happy and all smiles.
