Was it Merry?

Ours was! It was busy, filled with family, good food, laughter, presents, wrapping, unwrapping, wrapping some more, Santa, stocking stuffers, wrapping and more wrapping, excitement and just a good time. I love watching the kids get excited about all their new toys. It's great. And I love my family! Hope yours was merry too!

A sicky on Christmas?

I'm hoping not.

Kate woke up around 5 a.m. today crying. Not feeling good, a little warm, and sick to her stomach. NOOOO!
Today my usually active 8 year old slept the day away. Along with her high fever she was achey and tired. I feel so bad for her and I am crossing my fingers that tomorrow she is better and she can enjoy Christmas Eve at Grumpy and Grandmas.




(Ok, can I just say, "man is she cute when she is just laying there sleeping... with Dexter...all quiet.")

I hope she is feeling better for tomorrow. If not, the family better wear there germs masks b/c we are coming over anyway!

Merry Christmas!

Are You Ready?

It's almost time. I can't believe it. Christmas is almost here. We have 3 more days since we celebrate with my family on Christmas Eve. My mom and dad have the whole family over for good food, good times, and lots of presents. The kids can not wait. The countdown is on. Then on Christmas day we celebrate with Paul's family. Paul has to work that night so his mom is having it a little earlier so we can be there. I am done shopping, after going out into the craziness yesterday to finish up. Man...holiday spirit is hard to find out in stores and on the roads! But I am done and just have to tackle the wrapping.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy your family!

Really??? 11 years old already?

This week, on the 22nd, Tyler turned 11!! I really can't believe it. 11!!! When the heck did that happen? He was a chubby little baby yesterday and today he is a tall handsome boy. (insert big sigh here) Man...I love this kid!

September Kit @ The Mosy

I know, it's been a month since I posted. Sorry. Thought I'd pop in and post some DT work I've done at The Mosy. Thanks to Christa and The Sweet Peach Crop Shop for the kit!



Thanks for checking it out! Hope you are having a good and creative week! I'll post soon...(I'm not making any promises!)

Locker Practice & A Camera Hog

Oh, it's starting. Middle school happenings. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we went up to the middle school to get Ty's locker # and combination! He got to practice opening it and he was a pro! (of course we bought him a combination lock to practice with this summer!) We put some supplies in is locker and he added a football picture to make it his for the first day of school. I only took my point and shoot for pictures. Didn't want to embarrass him at the new school with my big camera! I think he is pretty excited now. Starting a new school and being a little more independent. I still don't think 6th grade should be middle school, but I'm excited for him. I'll cry the first date I'm sure. Because that's what I do. I cry...a lot! My baby is not a baby. Less than two weeks until the first day. It's bittersweet!


These other pictures are just here because they make me laugh. The kids were swimming and Dexter and I sat on the deck watching. I said his name and he took over the camera. Such a ham!
