Santa Clause

Santa Pictures through the years!!

2007..The boy's first Christmas and it seems like yesterday! Brennen was not impressed and Braeden started crying 2 seconds later!!

2008..The boys are 1, almost 2 in this picture. Braeden is not impressed with any type of characters and was NOT happy when mommy pried his hands off me to sit there for 2 seconds

2009...The boys are 2, almost 3. We stood in line at Sea World for over an hour and got to the front and they decided Santa was going home for the day. We decided to settle with the Shamu Clause picture

2010...The boys are 3 almost 4 and really understand the meaning of Christmas this year! The boys are super excited this year and I think this will be the best year yet!!

Christmas Program

I can not believe my kids are officially old enough to have a Christmas Program. The boys were not too excited since the program was after school and they thought we were taking them back to school and leaving them. =] After they realized we were staying with them they got into the holiday cheer and sang Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer with their class.


The boys class..Karter (Braeden's girlfriend), Braeden, Addi, Carter, Harrison, Brennen, Lily (Brennens girlfriend)

Updates, Updates, Updates

As you can see I was WAYYY behind on this blog! I started Nursing school in August and every two weeks I was assigned 20 chapters of reading and well the blog got left behind. When I started the blog I used it to only put videos, then I moved to putting all the pictures here so the family could see us when we lived in Florida. Now we have Facebook. Most of the pictures are put on my Facebook because it only takes a click of a button rather than 2 computers transferring pictures! Anyways, no excuses! I am going to try my hardest to keep up this next semester because I want it to keep going! But I'm not promising anything because we are set to take the double load that we did this semester! Looking forward to May 2012 but sure wants to put a weight on my kids and stop their growing! I can NOT in my wildest dream believe they are almost 4! 4!! They are a blessing every day and although I don't have the free time I once did to spend with them I try to spend every possible second with them after they finish at school! We have a busy couple of months ahead, but cannot wait to see where our journey takes us!!

Happy Holidays!

Halloween

This Halloween we were Pilots/Navigators like daddy!  The boys looked so cute and are sooo much fun these days!  They really understood what was going on and were super excited when they received sooo much candy!!

Happy Halloween!!

Our BOOOROWNIES for school.

Our meal!  Meatloaf mice, rotten potatoes, snake bread, rotten apple juice and pumpkin rice krispie treats

Graduation

Beaus brother Brad graduated with his Bachelors this Saturday!  We got all dressed up and made it EARLY (shocker!) to see the 70 graduates of McMurry University!  It was an interesting day, because on the same day was my graduation ceremony for my Bachelor’s I finished up in July from Lubbock Christian!  We are super excited for Brad and I’m pretty proud of myself except it really doesn’t sink in because I’m still in school working for a different degree! HA  Oh well, one day the business degree will serve me well but for this day we celebrated! 

 

It’s official!!

And although I tried to only celebrate Brad all the family included me!  So thankful for my second family and everything they do!! 

My children’s obsession….

Well airplanes rank pretty far up there too!  It might actually be a tie!  It’s FIRETRUCKS!!!!  We drive by a fire station every day when I take them to school and the game is to see if they are awake!  (Doors opened)  Well 90% of the time they are asleep but when they are the boys are super excited and it makes their day!  Grammie came down and I was telling her the story so she took them to the fire station one day while I had school…

Braeden touched him too!  I was shocked but immediately after words he decided he needed to go to the bathroom and wash his hands because they were dirty! =]
