Time with Extended Family

These rabbits have really turned out to be cool pets. Their fur is so long I don't worry about them freezing outside in their little home, as I'm not a fan of animal's living inside my home. We often let them run around the yard and the boys love feeding them snacks such as celery. They are so cuddly, they love laying in your lap, even on their back...as long as you have a tasty treat in your hand.

Grandpa Bill and Alli. She loves finding a willing soul to read her a story.

The boys with their great grandfather. They also suckered him into reading them a story, and in return they educated him about Star wars toys.


Momma's Cowgirl

This is Weston's rocking horse now passed down to Alli. All three of them take turns, for as you can see it's no small horse. Alli has to stand on the base and jump up on her tummy and then pull and wiggle her way on. This girl really has no fear when it comes to rocking. I still get scared she's gonna face plant right into something.

Meant to Be



As I wait at home this morning for James to return from dropping off the children at school followed by a trip to the grocery store to pick up a long list of items while chasing Alli around the store, I have to take this moment to praise God for such a devoted friend and lover. Truly a gift from My Maker who knows just what I need to carry me through this crazy life.
I tend to have my moments and forget to tell James just how much he means to me, especially after I ate three of his delicious homemade pumpkin muffins this morning. Yes my husband cooks wonderful meals, mops floors, and changes dirty diapers, but the most amazing part that I love about him is I will never ever doubt his love for me. ...thank you Jamie for never giving up.

Late Christmas







We left our tree up two weeks into January so the boys could come home to Christmas. I loved watching them tear into each present, loving the anticipation of what lies beneath the wrapper.

Christmas at Rissa's


I think I'll take this moment to explain my daughters attire. Lately her new thing is to roam around the house with just her shirt and diaper. Well actually I thought this was limited to our house only but on Christmas Eve at a friends house she began disrobing in the middle of the room with people all around her, all eyes on her. It was quite hilarious. She was reminded by one of the grandpas who chuckled "it's not that kind of party Alli" On Christmas when Alli "began to make heself at home" her Auntie Becky took one of Kelvin's jammies and wrapped it around Alli after Alli had made several attempts to put it on herself.

Christmas Program

Weston, upper left corner dressed in burgundy, was posing as one of the legendary Wise men. We practiced daily for two weeks songs and a poem his class did together. Even though Weston enjoys dressing up in action hero clothing at home, he could not wait to pull off the itchy Wise man costume. Timmy, lower right corner sitting with the other angels, wanted to wear his costume home. His teacher had other plans for it though, but he did get to keep his garland halo, and even requested it for his bedtime toy.

...I did get to sneak back stage with one of the stars of the program.
