SLEDDING

Kylie and Brianna
Brayden and Braxton


Kris took the week off of work so he was able to take the kids sledding yesterday on the 4 wheeler. They all had a blast me included. I had my sister drive up with my niece and nephew so they could join in. I am sure the kids are going to want to go daily now. I am loving the ages of the kids now I am able to join in the fun instead of being indoors with a baby :)

Kylie's Birthday Party


We were getting ready to have cake and ice cream when we got a surprise visit from none other than Santa Clause! We had all the kids get pictures with Santa and they sang a few songs together. Kylie is very special to us and we love her very much. It feels like yesterday that I was bringing her home from the hospital in her stocking.

Bowling for Kylie's 7 Birthday


We decided to go bowling as a family this year for to celebrate Kylie's birthday. We had so much fun even though Kris and I totally sucked. We did each manage to get a couple of spares and strikes between us. The kids had better scores than we did! We were pretty pathetic. When we were all finished bowling Kylie wanted to go eat at the Mcdonalds with the playground. We had a fun day with our special daughter. We love you Ky Ky

We celebrated christmas early this year with Kris's dad or "Grandpa Kenny". We had alot of fun we were able to have dinner as a family and the kids enjoyed playing with everything that grandpa and Debbie had given them. We have so many generous family members that every year I am left wondering.. why do I buy my kids christmas presents?

Giving Plasma

Today I donated plasma for the very first time. I have been racking my brain trying to come up with ways to help supplement our family income. It honestly wasnt that bad but I am sure come tomorrow I will have a bruise the size of Georgia. My goal is to pay off my Gap card balance which isn't that high but I am tired of having the bill delivered. So I deposited my 40 in my savings account on my way home. I hope that the process gets faster I was in there for 4 hours today so I made ten bucks an hour. Not bad considering I get to choose when I go in. If bruising occurs I will post pics of that. I am posting this to appease Kim, now its time for you to update :)

Finding the Perfect Tree




This is where we went to get the family christmas tree this year. We have decided to make this a new family tradition. It was so beautiful up there and the kids had a blast. Kris was able to show the kids where he grew up and the tree permit was only ten dollars. Kris is the best, he crossed the river because all the trees I wanted were over it. I love you babe! I love this time of year and I can't wait for christmas. Also, sorry to the bird whose nest was in the tree.

Rub s Dub Dub

I thought this was pretty cute. Bri my niece loves animals and wanted to play with our kittens the whole time on Thanksgiving. The girls were in the tub forever with the kittens asleep on them. Too cute.
