PLAYING WITH ALL THEIR STUFF!

AS YOU CAN SEE AUSTIN LIKED EVERYTHING. AT FIRST HE JUST STOOD BACK AND LOOKED AT EVERYTHING AND THEN HE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DUMP TRUCK AND BACK HOE. THEY WERE STILL IN THE BOX SO HE DECIDED TO PLAY WITH EVERYTHING ELSE. AIDEN WENT STRAIGHT TO THE BAT AND BALL AND WOULD NOT PUT IT DOWN FOR ANYTHING. I DO NOT KNOW HOW IN THE WORLD HE KNEW WHAT TO DO, BUT HE DID. HE WOULD SIT THE BALL ON THE TEE AND THEN HIT IT WITH THE BAT. AFTER HE HIT IT HE WOULD PICK THE BALL UP AND DO IT AGAIN. I THINK WE MAY HAVE ALITTLE SLUGGER ON OUR HANDS. I LOVE TO PLAY BALL SO THAT WOULD BE RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. I AM GOING TO GET THEM A REAL BAT, BALL, AND TEE THIS SPRING AND START PRACTICING WITH THEM!

MI MI AND PAW PAW COME TO SEE WHAT SANTA BROUGHT!

LITTLE STINKER'S....

THEY WILL WAIT UNTIL DALLAS GOES TO SLEEP TO START MESSING WITH HIM! AIDEN CLIMBED UP IN HIS BED AND TRIED TO LAY DOWN WITH HIM. AUSTIN WAS DOING HIS BEST TO GET DALLAS UP TOO! THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH HIM. YESTERDAY WHEN I TOOK DALLAS TO MEET THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE ASLEEP AND ME AND DALLAS WOKE THEM UP. I PUT AUSTIN AND DALLAS IN AIDEN'S BED SO THEY COULD BOTH SEE HIM. WHEN I GOT READY TO GET DALLAS OUT OF THE BED BOTH OF THEM LOST IT! THEY JUST STARTED CRYING AND WOULDN'T STOP UNTIL THEY GOT DALLAS BACK!

MEET DALLAS!

LOOK WHAT DADDY GOT ME AND THE BOYS FOR CHRISTMAS........A PUPPY. IT'S A GOLDEN LAB JUST WHAT I WANTED! I HAD NO CLUE THAT I WOULD GET IT FOR CHRISTMAS. WE HAD SAID THAT WE WOULD WAIT UNTIL IT GOT WARMER OUTSIDE, BUT SNEAKY LITTLE DADDY PULLED ONE OVER ON ME! HE SURPRISED ME WITH IT TODAY! IT'S SO CUTE AND THE BOYS LOVE HIM TOO! THE BLACK LAB IN THE PICTURE BELOW IS HIS BROTHER, DUKE. GI GI AND PAW BOUGHT HIM.. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN OUT HERE WITH ALL THE LAND AND I KNOW THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF THE BOYS. THANK YOU DADDY! YOU ARE THE BEST HUSBAND AND FATHER THAT ANYONE COULD ASK FOR! WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW!

CHRISTMAS AT GI GI AND PAW'S!

TONIGHT WE DID CHRISTMAS WITH RJ'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND ALL THE KIDS HAD A BALL! I LOVE WATCHING ALL OF THEM GET SO EXCITED OVER THEIR GIFTS! THEY ALL PLAYED SO HARD AND WERE SO TIRED WHEN WE LEFT! THE BOYS JUST THINK THAT THEY ARE AS BIG AS MADISON AND GRIFFIN AND TRY TO DO WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING!

JUMPING ON THE TOP BUNK BED!!

ALL THE KIDS WANTED TO JUMP ON THE BED AND OF COURSE IT HAD TO BE UP TOP! THIS TIME THERE WERE LOTS OF ADULTS WATCHING, BUT ONE TIME RJ WALKED INTO THE ROOM AND AIDEN WAS UP THERE JUST A JUMPING! HE HAD CLIMBED UP THE LATTER AND JUST STARTED JUMPING ON THE BED. GRIFFIN AND MADISON WERE AT THE BOTTOM CHEERING HIM ON! THANK GOODNESS RJ WALKED IN WHEN HE DID. I'M TELLING YOU THIS BOY IS WILD AND CAN CLIMB UP ANYTHING THAT HE WANTS TO!

PLAYING ON THEIRI BULL DOZER'S!

GI GI AND PAW GOT THESE FOR THE BOYS AND THEY ARE GOING TO LOVE PLAYING WITH THESE. I'M SURE THEY WILL BE SCOOPING UP AND PLAYING IN ALL THE DIRT OUT HERE!

EXCITED KIDS!!

ALL THE KIDS HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME TONIGHT WITH ALL THE PRESENTS THAT THEY GOT!THEY ALL COULDN'T WAIT TO GET THEM OPENED SO THEY COULD PLAY. THANK YOU GI GI, PAW, AUNT CARRIE, UNCLE PATRICK, AUNT AMANDA, AND UNCLE MIKE! I KNOW THE BOYS WILL HAVE A BLAST! WE LOVE YOU ALL!

THE BIGGEST KID OF THEM ALL!!

PAW IS JUST LIKE A BIG KID WHEN IT COMES TO CHRISTMAS TIME, OR ALL THE TIME REALLY I SHOULD SAY! ANYWAYS, WE GOT HIM A PAINT BALL GUN AND HE JUST LOVED IT! I JUST HOPE HE DOESN'T SHOOT ME WITH IT!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A VERY MERRY AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS! I KNOW THE BOYS HAVE ALREADY HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND HAVE GOTTEN MORE THAN SOME LITTLE CHILDREN EVER WILL. I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS KNOW THE "REAL" MEANING OF CHRISTMAS. I HOPE THAT THEY NEVER THINK IT'S ABOUT SANTA CLAUSE AND ALL GIFTS. I HOPE THAT THEY KNOW THAT IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE AND MOST OF ALL I HOPE THAT THEY KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS CHRIST. THAT HE WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY SO THAT WE CAN ALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH HIM.

CHRISTMAS IN DECATUR!

YESTERDAY WE WENT TO DECATUR, AL TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITH MY DAD'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY! IT WAS NICE TO SEE EVERYONE AND THE BOYS HAD A BALL WITH ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT! THEY REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING WITH MAMAW'S CHRISTMAS BALLS AND MOMMY ENJOYED ALL THE YUMMY FOOD! THEY WERE POOPED BY THE TIME WE LEFT AND SLEPT MOST OF THE WAY HOME!

OUR ATTEMPT TO GET A FAMILY PICTURE!

AS YOU CAN SEE WE WERE NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL! THE BOYS DID NOT WANT THEIR PICTURES TAKEN. OH WELL, MABEY WE WILL GET ONE SOMETIME DURING ALL THESE CHRISTMAS PARTIES!

GETTING ALL KINDS OF LOVIN'!

MORE PRESENTS!!

THE BOYS GOT MORE TOYS AND CLOTHES FROM MAMAW, PAPAW, AUNT CARLA, AND UNCLE RICKY! I THINK AFTER YESTERDAY THEY HAVE THIS PRESENT THING DOWN, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO OPEN ALL THE PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE! BEFORE THEY DIDN'T REALLY BOTHER THEM, BUT NOW THEY JUST SIT IN FRONT OF THE TREE AND STARE AT THE PRESENTS AND WHEN I'M NOT LOOKING THEY DIG IN! THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING WITH ALL THEIR NEW STUFF ALL DAY! THANK YOU ALL FOR THEIR PRESENTS! WE LOVE YOU!!

WOW......A PLAYHOUSE!!

THE BOYS GOT THEIR CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM GG AND PAW TODAY! IT WAS THEIR VERY OWN PLAYHOUSE! WE DON'T DO CHRISTMAS WITH THEM UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE, BUT THE PLAYHOUSE WAS DELIVERED TODAY! THE BOYS ARE GOING TO LOVE IT! AUSTIN REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS ALL HIS. HE JUST STOOD UP THERE ON HIS FRONT PORCH LIKE IT WAS IS OWN HOUSE! I'M NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM INSIDE NOW! AT LEAST IT'S WARM IN THERE AND WILL BE COOL THIS SUMMER FOR THEM TOO! THANK YOU GG AND PAW SO MUCH FOR THE PLAYHOUSE! WE LOVE YOU!

CHECKING IT OUT!!

GETTING CLEANED UP FOR THE PARTY!

WELL, WEDNESDAY WAS A BUSY DAY FOR US! WE HAD CHRISTMAS AT PAPA JOE'S HOUSE! AUSTIN WASN'T FEELING GOOD SO I HAD TO TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR ON THE WAY OVER TO PAPA'S. THANK GOODNESS IT WASN'T HIS EARS, BUT HIS THROAT WAS REALLY RED AND HE SAID THAT'S PROBALY WHAT WAS CAUSING THE HIGH FEVER. UNFORNUTALY THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO TO MAKE IT BETTER IT JUST HAS TO RUN IT'S COUSE. HE DID SO GOOD THROUGH ALL THE THROAT SWABS AND DIDN'T THROW UP LIKE I THOUGHT HE WOULD, BUT HE DID BEFORE WE EVEN MADE IT TO THE INTERSTATE. POOR BABY JUST HAD A BAD DAY. WHILE WE WERE DOING ALL OF THIS AIDEN AND DADDY WERE GETTING THEIR HAIR CUTS. AUSTIN AND I FINALLY MADE IT TO MISS EDITH'S TO GET HIS CUT BEFORE WE WENT TO PAPA'S. THEY BOTH DID SO GOOD AND IT WAS WAY PAST TIME TO GET THEIR HAIR CUT! THEY LOOK SO CUTE AND GROWN UP NOW! SO AFTER ALL THIS WE MADE IT TO PAPA'S, BUT HAD TO GET BOYS CLEANED UP FIRST. THANK GOODNESS I PACKED THEIR PJ'S SO THEY AT LEAST HAD SOMETHING TO WEAR! OH WELL, WE ALL SURVIVED AND HAD A GREAT TIME CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS WITH EVERYBODY!
