buster even made the cut.  this is our 10 year (nearly 11) old dog.

snow day!

we figured that if we feel a tad bit better, and there is no school and the roads are too bad to go to the gym, then lets have a ...

good memories

the other night, aunt catie took all three of my kiddos for a slumber party.  wow!  i was in heaven.

they were pretty excited too.  each packed their own bags and had dinner, made cupcakes and the girls got makeovers.  glad my kiddos will have good memories.

to be organized

i can't stop thinking about this thing!  i want one!  do any of y'all have one?  tell me what you think if you do.
oh to be organized!

talk with them

sure most of y'all have done some type of a growth chart over the years, or at least have seen one.  it is so strange to see how they grow.  the kids love seeing the changes too.  i like it because they are getting closer to eye level when i have to have a 'talk ' with them.

trusty bucket

where have you been?  where are new pictures?  what have you been up to?

i think my profession for the last month has been a live in nurse.  we have been fighting illnesses like a hospital emergency room.  each kid fighting two rounds of different illnesses... poor things.  kambel kicked off the second round with a violent stomach virus where she was throwing up from 10:30pm to 3:30am, every half hour.  i felt so bad for this little girl.  then ty got it.  but it came out the other way.  f.u.n 

so i haven't taken any new pictures, pretty sure y'all didn't want to see what was inside that bucket.  all i picked up was a shot of kambel resting between her half hour throw ups and her trusty bucket.





happy birthday jesus!

santa liked them

we spent christmas eve decorating cookies for everyone and of course for santa.  the kids really got into it.  i think santa liked them.

says it all

found this while cleaning up the computer.  says it all.

this day

one day, three christmas programs.  it was crazy!  started with ty and his happy birthday jesus party where he sang, and did a craft and enjoyed a cupcake.  then on to kambel who sang and played a drum.  she kept making strange faces while singing, it was so funny.  finally we ended with kadence singing at her school - the lighting was horrible, not to mention how m.a.n.y. people were there.  needless to say, we got into the holiday spirit this day!



notice how he sandwiched himself between the only girls in the class...(think there was one more, just not seated)
