Making cookies for Santa

The girls had fun decorating sugar
cookies for Santa. We did get many
questions this year like "Is Santa real?"
"Do his reindeer die?" "Why hasn't Santa
died if he has been so old forever?"
We knew the time would be coming soon.



Well what else could I do but to tell them the
truth. I had to tell them the truth. I told them
if you don't believe you won't receive." As you
can see they still believe in Santa!!!

Kaitlin Turns 9!!!!!!!!!

Kaitlin had her birthday on December 1st. She turned 9
years old. It is hard to believe that she is growing up so fast.
We had a family birthday with some friends.

Can You Say TROUBLE!!

Okay, one would think

"oh, look at that little

boy, he is so cute. But
wait, what is he doing
with his knee up on

those paper towels?

Is that a grin under

that pacifier?"

"Well now, what do you

think he is going to do

with both knees up on

the paper towels? He looks

like such a nice young boy,

I don't think he would ever

think of what is to happen

next......"

"Oh no!" That is right.

He has learned he can

get to certain objects by

crawling on top of things.

Nothing is safe now!!

Foxie Roxie!!

This is Roxie. She is the new addition to our family. We got her for Christmas. She is a goldendoodle and will be around 70 pounds. She is a really good puppy and very smart. Her only problem is she loves to bite. And let tell you those baby teeth are very sharp!!!










When she is sleeping she is a perfect angel.
Eric thinks going into Roxie's crate is alot of fun.
He likes to lock himself in the crate, with Roxie
or without. Dad doesn't think it is to funny, I
think it is cute.

Could I Be Any Cuter???

I don't miss any meals!


Emily and Mallory, Emily's friend, are having a
picnic with Eric. It was so cute to see them all
play together. Eric actually got into eating at the
picnic as you will see. He wasn't sure if it was
"real" food or not.

Here is Eric having fun playing in the leaves. He had more fun walking through them, going back and forth, laughing the entire time. He wasn't to happy when it was time to come inside.

My Little Tigers

This was Eric's second Halloween. Seeing as he was a tiger we saw it fitting to keep him behind bars. Now if only I could find a way to do that every day. (haha) We went trick or treating at our church. Every year they do a trunk or treat where you go to peoples trunks to get candy. They always decorate their trunks really cute or scary. Eric had more fun playing with the dancing and singing creatures of the night than actually getting candy.

Emily was a witch and Kaitlin was an angel. They both got a lot of candy this year. They had fun running around at the church and going trick or treating in my mom's neighborhood. As you can see, both girls have glasses now and contacts. Kaitlin got a pair of contacts so her sister wasn't far behind. Both girls are doing great in school and both have all A's. We are very proud of them. They both are taking piano lessons. Nick, the piano teacher, say that Kaitlin is a "natural" at it.
