A White Christmas

What a gorgeous site!

The boys had fun trying to make a snow fort.

Jack is all smiles!


Megan and I had lots of fun sledding this year. I have to laugh as I am typing Megan says, "Jack you are special, I think you are very special." Maybe she watches too much Barney.

All the boys spent many hours sledding at our neighbors house. I think we are ready for the next big snow.

Christmas Day 2010

We had a nice Christmas morning at home waiting for the snow. Unfortunately I didn't get too many pictures.

Megan loves her fur-real friend.

I think Jack's favorites were his wrestling ring and wrestling action figures.

Will with his new air-soft gun.

Ben with his PSP video game.

Christmas 2010 Travels

We had a great Christmas and started by traveling to see our families. First we went to see my Dad and Linda.

Megan and Linda

Jack at Mimi's house. He loves crayons!


Megan with her cousin Rachel. They were reading a nursery rhyme book.

Will's DARE graduation and our Church Play

Here is Will at his "Drug Abuse Resistance Education" graduation. Will loved DARE and came home with lots of questions.


Here is Megan at our church Christmas play. She said her line of, "Come celebrate a baby's birth," very well. She even hugged Ella while they were singing. It is so funny to see what they will do at this age.

Here is Jack at the church play. He said his line very quickly, "Glory to God in the highest."

Here I am dressed up for an ugly Christmas sweater party. My sweater had two holes in the top so I glued cut out pieces of Christmas cards over them. I had a great time and loved seeing all the other tacky Christmas outfits.

We love the holidays!

We had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to Christmas! We don't typically do tons of crafts at our house, but this was perfect to make the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Thanks Jennifer for all your cool ideas. Megan loves to say "lets make a craft." What is sounds like is "lets make a cra*." So from time to time I use Jennifer's site for cool ideas.

Here is our Christmas card picture. I hereby declare next year to do individual shots of each child for our card. Yes, I will probably forget my vow in 2011.

Jack with our cat Mittens. She is a great outdoor cat and puts up with a lot. We love our sweet patient non-barking pet!

Happy Halloween 2010

This was the perfect year for carving pumpkins out in the driveway. It was very warm. This is definitely the way to go. It is much easier to clean pumpkin guts outside. Jack was our obsessive pumpkin seed finder. He wanted to make sure that we used every seed to eat or plant.

Megan painted her pumpkin with her favorite colors - pink and purple! She loved this and stuck with it for a long time.

My boys are very into WWE wrestling right now. Will was John Cena. Ben was Rey Mysterio and Jack was a Mexican wrestler. His costume was just one I found cheap on e-bay. Everyone was happy with their costumes.

Megan loves princesses right now, so she was Sleeping Beauty for Halloween. She was very proud of her costume.

October Trip to Lazy 5 Ranch

We had a great time at the Lazy 5 Ranch with my friend Jill and her son Jared. Will and Ben haven't been to Lazy 5 since kindergarten. I thought they might be too old for it, but no way they had a blast.

I love the way you can get so close to the giraffes

The baby pigs were adorable.

This giant play area of corn was a big hit. Will and Ben loved burying each other.


It was a great day full of smiles.
