December Updates...

Alright well we have had a busy month but it has been fun. The stockings are hung the tree is decorated the presents are wrapped and we have watched "The Christmas Story" & "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". We had Jake's 1st Christmas concert he did a really good job. We've been to 3 different Christmas Parties, seen Santa TWICE (the boys were so excited) & have been covered in about 2 feet of snow, we were able to build a snowman, make snow angels, my little deer were burried, the boys got to ride the four wheeler, and the tubes out at Aunt Karla and Uncle James house they had some great snow to play in. Jake loved every min. of it and Matt as you can see had fun until he was done and then he was done! So all in all I think we are all ready for Christmas and some fun time to relax and spend together with our families. Hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and we hope to hear from you soon. All our love.

Thanksgiving Fun

We had great fun at thanksgiving we had so much good food and I had more deserts than I did food which wasn't good for my waist but boy did I enjoy it! We had lot's of my family together at mom & dads (34 total) it was a little wild and crazy at times with 8 kids under 6 but as always it was worth it. Then on our way home we got to stop and see some of Scott's family at his cousins homecoming it was so great to see them we really miss them we don't get to see them often enough. It was a wonderful weekend and we have so much to be thankful for.

1st Snow

These are pics of our first snow in Flagstaff we had our cusin Carson up with us to play for a few days, we had such a great time.

Fall Fun

We went over to Mom & Dad's for the weekend. We had such a great time, we hung out with family and let the kids play in the beautiful weather. We worked on a few projects and had fun catching up with everyone.

Life...

Ok so I'm a big slacker again. But here is a whole mess of pics from us lately. Some of the kids picking pumpkins at Grandad's, the boys at Halloween Jake went as a cop, Matt went as Superman & Scott & I went as Elizabeth Swan & Will Turner. And a couple of the new puppy Pennie. Hope everyone is doing good. Enjoy! :-)

Matt's 2nd Birthday

I wanted to thank everyone for your concern and prayers with Matthew. Saturday was a pretty scarry day for us Matthew had gotten up early Sat. morning vomiting and with a 102 fever the Motrin didn't bring it down and with in 2 hrs he was at a 104 fever Scott gave him a bath to help cool him down and we got him an apt to see his pediatrician later the same day, Matt was resting on the couch while Scott and Matt were eating breakfast and I ran to the pharmacy to get some more Tylenol to see if we could get that to help his fever, while I was gone he had a "Fever Seizure", we ended up having to have him taken to the hospital by ambulance, we spent most of our day at the hospital running lot's of tests to make sure that there was nothing to worry about. They told us that he just has some kind of virus or flu bug and that his temp got way to high way to fast. We are so greatful for Family & Friends who were there for us and helped us in getting things taken care of. We were able to come home around 3:30ish and Matt still got to see some of his favorite people at his Birthday Party (he was a little mad about no cake for him though). But he still had a pretty good time he is now just trying to catch up on sleep he is pretty wiped out after everything.

Jake Started Pre-School

I can't believe how big Jake has gotten, he started pre-school this year and loves everythinga about it except getting up for it! His teacher is so good with all the kids, it is fun to see all the things he works on there. This is Jakes 1st day I know I'm a little slow, this Thursday we wen't on Jake's 1st field trip we walked to the Brookside Chocolate Factory, the kids loved it and they all got to pick out something while they were there. And Jake's class put on a cute little play as well, Jake was the King in the play and did very well he remembered his line (we will have to work on his presentation he didn't have any emotion) it was so cute.

Matt's 1st Black Eye (I think???)

So I'm not sure how he got this but never the less it's here, and not very pretty, guess it's a good thing he's tough. I don't have much to say for myself except that I will try to keep a closer eye on this kid but he usually get's one to two new battle scars a week from the way he runs around like a crazy man... His eye is no a nice shade of green & black.

D-Backs Game
