Merry Christmas and more

We had a good Christmas. The kids got way too much as usual. Now it's time to clean out the old to make room for the new. Last night we went to Mel and Ish's to play the Wii. It was quality time with Micah before he moves.

The boys enjoyed the football game.

Morgan chilled out in the floor watching The Price is Right on our portable DVD player(she loves game shows)

Bradley got Guitar Hero for Christmas. Mel, Micah and I played for awhile but I of course didn't take any pictures of that. My guitar playing skills got us booed off the stage a few times. This is Jackson pretending to play the drums.

Bradley and Lauren spent the night with Jackson Sunday. The boys are playing with Jackson's remote control Jeeps he got for Christmas. Morgan climbed up and sat in Lauren's lap in the Trail Hand which was an early present for all of us.

Jackson loved his spiderman mask and gloves from Christy. He and Bradley kept putting it on at the house and pretending to be robbers.

Micah giving Jackson the attention he is always seeking.

Cutie pie Lillian.

Jackson loves playing with Lee's parents' new puppy.

He also loved his four wheeler.

He had fun getting in this box.

Morgan cooperated and opened her presents for the most part.

This remote control truck didn't work unfortunately, but we exchanged it for a Jeep just as big.

Holiday Spectacular

Sunday night we went to a place near here that has a lot of lights (they advertise 10 thousand) and you can take wagon rides, roast marshmellows, and see Santa and other characters. It was neat, but Morgan didn't cooperate so we didn't stay long.

We roasted marshmellows but Jackson didn't really care for them, so I almost made myself sick eating most of them.

This is Rudolph. We saw Santa and the grinch, but we didn't stand in line to get our picture with them.

We had to get our picture with the big buck.

The trees were wrapped from top to bottom in lights.

Here's another shot. A lot of them didn't turn out.

Cousins

Ish and the kids came over last night to get a deer that Lee shot. I watched the kids while they took it to get it processed.

Cute cousins.

They both love their paci.

Lillian tried to eat Abby's hand.

Abby was facinated with Lillian's feet.

Lee's sister and her girls came over too and took turns holding Lillian.

Last Tuesday night, I went in Morgan's room to find blood all over the place. It took me a few hours to figure out where it had come from. As far as we can tell, Morgan cut her hand on a nail that was still in her wall from a shelf that used to hang there. It is a pretty deep cut but they didn't do stitches because we would have to put her to sleep. We've been putting liquid bandaid on it and hoping it will heal.

10 years of marriage and three beautiful children: priceless

Lee and I celebrated our 10th anniversary on Friday. I can't believe it's been 10 years!

Long time no post

Well, I would win the award for world's worst blogger. Since going back to work on November 10th, there just hasn't been enough hours in the day. Our thanksgiving was quiet. Morgan came down with a stomach bug the day before, so we just had a small meal at home. Everyone is doing well and now we're gearing up for christmas.

This is during christmas card pictures. We got Morgan to cooperate and smile by playing the price is right on the portable dvd player and putting it in Lee's lap:)
Lillian is all smiles and coos. She's soo much fun.

This is at church. I had to join in or Morgan wouldn't stay.

This was during our 2nd attempt at christmas card pictures. Morgan's not in it because it was before I got the brilliant price is right idea. Jackson still loves being a big brother.

Cutie pie.

This is at the daycare where Jackson and Lillian go.

This is Jackson and his buddy Cale. Cale's face was eaten by his driveway.

Lillian and Abby in their matching dresses from Beverly Lewis.

They kept falling over.

Abby.

I got a new camera as an early christmas present, so Jackson has claimed my old one. These are his pictures. He's actually pretty good.

The Peanut Festival times 3

The peanut festival is this week. On Monday, I went with Jackson's class for kindergarten day. They didn't get to ride rides, they just got to see the shows and animals. On Monday night, we as a family went. Today, I went with Morgan for special citizens day. It was fun but both days were hot. I've had four corn dogs from the corn dog man, two elephant ears and a bag of cotton candy. The food is the best part!


Jackson got picked as the designated person to cheer our group's pig to the finish line and our pig won the race, so he got a ribbon that says that his pig won. He is so proud of that ribbon. The cute shirt was made by his teachers.

He got to milk a fake cow.

I couldn't believe that girl was holding him up like that. They were pretty amazing.

This is his class.

That night he rode the ponies.

He had just ridden the roller coaster where the attendant made them put their hands in the air, so he carried it over to this ride.

This was a free fall type thing. I thought he would be scared but he loved it.

This is the group from Morgan's school.

This is Morgan riding with her aide Paige.

Morgan did not like the big slide.

But she loves anything that goes around and around.

Blessing Day

Today Lee and Ish blessed Abby and Lillian. The girls looked cute in their beautiful gowns made by Aunt Christy. When you look at the pictures, I promise Lee wasn't as unhappy as he looks, he is currently working night shift, 12 hours normally but 13 last night thanks to time change. He came home this morning from work, got ready and went to church so he's exhausted not angry as he looks. Lillian did good and slept through her blessing.

I love her dress. Good job Christy! Heather got her a blessing bracelet if you look you can see it.
