CHRISTMAS!

What a great Chritmas with so much fun seeing family and friends this weekend. And, it is so much fun watching the kids get excited about the gifts they got!

Poor Gracie fell and hit her teeth and gum on Caden's metal bed frame a couple of days before Christmas. Thanks again to Wes for taking the time to look at her and let us know that she's ok!

We headed to GG's house the day before Christmas Eve. We got to celebrate with Brian, Laura, Reid, Lane and Morgan along with Grandpa David and Great Grandma Lillian. It was crazy, but fun!

Gracie, Caden and Morgan, our new little niece :)

Reid and Brenna

GG's ipad was a big hit with the big kids (Jason)and the little ones!

Opening presents

Pulling up on EVERYTHING!

After presents at GG's house we drove home to spend the rest of Christmas Eve at home. Gracie especially was so excited about Santa!

Making cookies for Santa! We left him cookies, milk and a thank you note. We also put some carrots outside for the reindeer.

T'was the night before Christmas and all through he house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in thier heads!

They came to our room first, so we got to see them when they went to see what Santa brought!

Yay for new bikes!

And rain boots, too! He wore them ALL day! :)

She got a pink and silver pistol :)

Brenna got some toys and clothes, too! But she was more intrested in the wrapping paper of course.

Gracie LOVES her new Dora umbrella! Caden likes his, too.

She loves her pink cash registar!

Me, making breakfast. We had biscuts, eggs and sausage. We each put a candle in a biscut and then we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus!

After we ate and played for a while, we headed to Mimi and Pawpaw's house. I'm so sad that I only got 2 pictures at Mimi and Pawpaw's house before my camera battery went dead. I should have known it would, I'd taken over 200 pictures in 2 days! But I forgot to bring my charger so... I hope mom, Wendy or Christy send me some pictures!

Hope you had a Holly Jolly Christmas, too!

Look Out World!

Christmas Season Begins!

Time to decorate the Christmas tree! Our little helpers were so excited. We put on PJ's and some Christmas music and got started.

Jason was manning the video camera with Brenna.

Hard at work.

They had their favorite spot on the tree.

Some branches have more then 5 ornaments!

Finished! Jason spread out alot of the congestion on the lower branches after the kids went to bed.

Brenna is still not crawling, but that is really ok with me. :) She is 8 months old today (6th).

Gracie all dressed up for her choir performance at church last night. They were so cute.

My poor camera - it no worky too well these days. Hopefully Santa will bring me one before Christmas!

Almost 8 Months Old!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone! And I know it will go that much quicker now that Thanksgiving is over. Oh, Thanksgiving. Didn't turn out as planned this year. Gracie got the stomach bug the day before and I got it the day of! Lots of fun. We did get to go to my parents for a second Thanksgiving, and we had a great time. But, I forgot to charge my camera battery so I don't have any pictures. :(

Here is a picture of my baby girl at 7 1/2 months. She's a healthy 22.6 lbs and 27 + inches tall. She is ALMOST crawling right now. She can scoot backwards and roll around with the best of them, though. She has her way of getting around ... and into stuff.

Brenna 11-11-2010

I love to look back and see Gracie and Caden at the age Brenna is now.

Caden 9-30-2008 (he still had blue/gray eyes)

Gracie 2-1-2007

Gracie and Brenna look similar, but they all look so different to me.

Life as We Know It

I just wanted to put up some of our "everyday" pictures.

Some are funny :) Life with three kids is a daily adventure. Sometimes those adventures are so much fun, and some are not fun thinking about again.

But, all in all, life as we know it is pretty good. Thank you God!

He's a breakfast man. Some of the first words out of his mouth every morning are "I wanna eat."

I'd be happy with "good morning momma".

She picked out the Cupcake Pebbles cereal.

Yes, she got into mosquitoes again. :(


She is a huge Mum Mum fan!

Cowboy Caden!

I think they are both out.

Gracie still loves to help Daddy no matter what he's doing.

And she looks cute doing it, too!

Poor Caden, he needs some more daddy time.

He does look pretty cute in them.

This is part of Jason's nightly routine. After he's all ready for work the next day, he gets his toast, honey and milk and sits down to watch T.V.

Then... he falls asleep. He didn't even know I took this picture (shhhhhh)

Dinner tonight.

I like to try and make Brenna feel like she's eating with us. One big happy!

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween 2010!

My beautiful Snow White! She picked this out for herself. She wanted to look pretty and she sure did!

My cool dragon! (it's actually a dinasoar costume, but we pretended it was a dragon) The tail was my favorite part. He picked his costume out, too.


My sweet little pumpkin! She was a great pumpkin - sweet and round!

We got a picture with a cute little Baylor cheerleader at our church's Fall Festival!

Common ride the train....

They were layin' down the law in their sheriff train car!

Eating candy after the festival.

Candy eating dragon!

She liked watching all the people and seeing all the action of the festival.

Jason and the kids carved our pumpkin. I just took pictures and drew the face :)

They did a great job!

I like happy Jack-O-Lanterns!

Time to Trick-or-Treat! We went with some friends ... groups are always more fun! I forgot Caden's dragon head though.

Our first stop!

She enjoyed watching all the fun from her stroller!

The jock and fairytale princess!

The ballerina and the dragon!

Another stop.... we went to a lot of houses.

I love his tail!

Adam is still a kid at heart!

Guess she had had a little too much fun!

Gracie and Caden had a blast, but now we have to figure out what to do with all this candy!
