Baking cookies w/ Nana & Aunt Darcy

The kids really enjoyed helping make cookies!

Orniment Sam made

Too CUTE! I want to do these for all the kids. Sam did this one in school.

Sam's Citizen of the Month for Nov. 2008

We're so Proud, but can't help but wonder...Why can't they behave like that at home?:)

FINALLY!!!!

After weeks of whining & complaining about how his little brother keeps losing teeth before him, Dan's first top tooth has come out.

Snuggle Buddies

Our little Miss Sassy turned 2 on the 11th. Since she was a pup, if David was quiet & behaving & she wasn't getting into trouble, you could bet they were somewhere snuggled in together. Early in the morning before the boys get up & after they go to bed, if Sassy is missing you'll be sure to find her in Davids bed. What a pair!

LOVELY DECORATIONS...They're not mine!

We went over to Ken & Darcy's last weekend to take some pics of the decoration at Nana & Poppy's & their house. They didn't come out too well in the pics , but it really is Beautiful! There is even a tree in the gazebo. Our house on the other hand looks like it belongs in a Charlie Brown Christmas. I had a bunch of new lights I used our last year in Lake in the Clouds. Last year at dads they stayed packed. Well to make a long story short. NONE of them worked, I put new fuses in them, but no luck, so I have 1 pretty bush outside & thankfully a fiber optic tree inside. It's really depressing! I was really looking forward to "Decking the halls!" Oh well. I'll have to look for some good sales after the season & hope for better luck next year.

Welcome to our world!

This is our families newest baby, Joseph Blake. Born on 12-3-2008, and weighing in at 8lbs. 2ozs. He is the pride & joy of our niece Sammi & her fiance Blake. Poor mom was 2 weeks overdue before he decided to show himself. I guess he figured there would be less chaos after Thanksgiving.:) Congratulations Sammi & Blake!!
