HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WE ALWAYS CELEBRATE NEW YEARS AT THE LAKE AND THIS YEAR IT WAS PERFECT WEATHER! THE KIDS HAD A BALL AND WE WERE ABLE TO ENJOY SOME FAMILY TIME WHILE DADDY WAS OFF THE WHOLE WEEK AFTER CHRISTMAS AFTER EVERYONE FINALLY GOT OVER ALL THE SICKNESS. WE HAD A WONDERFUL YEAR FULL OF MANY BLESSING EACH DAY! JUST WAKING UP TO A HOUSE FULL OF HEALTHY BOYS AND A WONDERFUL HUSBAND MAKE MY HEART HAPPY:)! I AM BLESSED AND THANK GOD FOR ALL HIS MANY BLESSINGS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO THIS YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!

FIREWORKS AND FUN!

WE HAD THE SPENCER FAMILY AND AUGIE AND OWEN DOWN TO THE LAKE FOR NEW YEARS AND ALL THE KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER. THEY ALL PLAYED SO WELL AND KEPT US ENTERTAINED. THEY ALL LOVED THE FIREWORKS EXCEPT FOR JAX! HE WOULD NOT GO OUTSIDE AND WATCH THEM, SO HE WATCHED FROM THE WINDOW! THEY PLAYED GAMES, RODE THE JEEP AND TRACTOR, AND OF COURSE ATE LOTS OF SUGAR:)!!

LEARNING TO SHOOT!

AUSTIN COULD NOT WAIT TO SHOOT HIS NEW BB GUN, SO DADDY SET THEM UP A TARGET AND GAVE THEM SOME LESSONS. THEY DID REALLY GOOD AND BOTH SHOOT THE TARGET, JUST NOT THE BULLS EYE:)! YOU CAN SEE JAX HAD HIS PLAY GUN OUT THERE TOO! POOR BUDDY, HE WANTS TO BE BIG JUST LIKE HIS BUBBA'S:)!

GAME ON:)!!

WE TOOK THE BOYS FOOSEBALL AND THE AIR HOCKEY/PING PONG TABLES TO THE LAKE AND SET THEM UP. THEY LOVED THEM AND I HAVE TO SAY THE ADULTS DID TOO! ME AND AIDEN BEAT DADDY AND AUSTIN FIRST GAME OF FOOSEBALL AND THEN ME AND AUSTIN BEAT DADDY AND AIDEN:)! SO MOMMY IS THE CHAMP, FOR NOW ANYWAYS:)! JAX WAS OUR SCORE KEEPER,BUT HE GOT TO PLAY SOME TOO!

CHRISTMAS NIGHT

WE ALWAYS DO MI MI AND PAW PAW'S ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS A HOUSE FULL OF BOYS, BOYS, AND MORE BOYS. WE HAVE ONE GIRL, ALYSSA MY COUSIN'S LITTLE GIRL, ON MY MOM'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY SO SHE IS SURROUNDED BY BOYS! WE HAD A WONDERFUL NIGHT CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS WITH MY FAMILY AND OF COURSE THE BOYS HAD FUN!

PRESENT TIME!

WE MADE THE KIDDO'S ALL GO ONE AT TIME FROM OLDEST TO YOUNGEST THIS YEAR SO WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE THEM OPENING THEIR PRESENTS. THEY WERE ALL SO CUTE WAITING ON THEIR TURNS AND OF COURSE THEY ALL LOVED THEIR PRESENTS. I HAD JUST GOTTEN ALL THE SANTA TOYS PUT UP AND THEN CAME HOME TO ANOTHER LIVING ROOM FULL OF TOYS,BUT THAT'S OKAY:)!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

WE SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JESUS AND BLEW OUT THE CANDLES, WELL JAX BLEW OUT ALL THE CANDLES, BUT WE MADE SURE THEY KNEW IT WAS JESUS BIRTHDAY AND THAT IS WHY WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS! AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAD AN AMAZING CHRSITMAS AND THEY WE ARE SO BLESSED!

THE FUN BEGINS!!

THEIR FACES WERE PRICELESS CHRISTMAS MORNING! THEY ALL WERE SO EXCITED AND HAD SO MUCH FUN OPENING ALL THEIR GIFTS!

SANTA WAS TOO GOOD:)!

AS YOU CAN SEE THE BOYS HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR AND WERE SO MUCH FUN WATCHING! THEY GOT WAY TO MUCH STUFF,BUT THEY HAVE ENJOYED IT ALL. THEIR BIG GIFTS WERE THE BIKES, FOOSEBALL TABLE, PING PONG AND AIR HOCKEY TABLE AND JAX GOT A DUNE BUGGY. THEN DADDY ALWAYS BUYS THE BOYS A GIFT ON HIS OWN AND THIS YEAR IT WAS REAL BB GUNS FOR AIDEN AND AUSTIN. POOR JAX WAS SO UPSET BUT DADDY SAID NOT UNTIL HE WAS 5.

FEEDING THE REINDEER

THIS YEAR WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE FED THE REINDEER BECAUSE THE BOYS MADE SOME REINDEER FOOD AT SCHOOL, SO WE HAD TO FEED THEM! THEY RAN TO THE DOOR CHRISTMAS MORNING TO SEE IF THEY ATE IT ALL TOO AND WERE MAD THAT THEY DID NOT EAT ALL OF IT:)!
AFTER THEY FED THE DEER WE CAME IN AND READ THE REAL CHRISTMAS STORY WITH OUR ANGEL ONE LAST TIME UNTIL SHE COMES AGAIN NEXT YEAR! THEY HAD A LOT OF FUN DOING THINGS FOR OTHERS AND HELPING MOMMY OUT AND THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD WAS FROM AIDEN'S TEACHER. SHE TOLD ME THAT ANYTIME THEY TALKED CHRISTMAS HE MADE SURE TO TELL THE CLASS THAT CHRISTMAS WAS ABOUT JESUS AND WITHOUT JESUS WE WOULD NOT HAVE CHRISTMAS! I PRAY THEY ALL REMEMBER THAT AND TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS!

GI GI AND PAW PAW'S

CHRISTMAS EVE WE GO TO GI GI AND PAW PAW'S HOUSE AND THE BOYS WERE ALL SO EXCITED THEY WOULD NOT EVEN EAT:)! THEY HAD TO DRAW NUMBERS TO SEE WHO GOT TO GO FIRST AND OPEN PRESENTS AND JAX GOT NUMBER 1. HE WAS SO CUTE BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE REALLY UNDERSTOOD OPENING PRESENTS. YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES HE WAS GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR. THE AUSTIN GOT TO GO AND AS YOU CAN SEE HE WAS PUMPED! HE GOT A HELICOPTER GAME THAT YOU PLAY ON THE COMPUTER AND LEARN TO REALLY FLY IT. IT IS SUPER NEAT AND HE LOVED IT. HE EVEN GOT HIS OWN HELICOPTER HELMET. NEXT WAS AIDEN AND AT FIRST YOU CAN SEE HE WAS UPSET. HE THOUGHT HE GOT A BABY TOY AND THEN REALIZED IT WAS A LEAP PAD AND HE LOVES IT. HE PLAYS WITH IT NON-STOP AND NOW I HAVE MY I PAD BACK:)! IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS WITH OUR FAMILY!
