Christmas Christmas

I didn't take very many pictures. I was busy cooking ham and enjoying the holidays. The kids got SPOILED! It literally took hours to open the presents partially because there was alot and partially because they had to play with every toy before they could move on. I hope you all had a merry christmas.

My Nativity

And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Never ever ever stick your pinkie in a toy telescope



Because if you do you will spend an hour crying while your dad saws it off. It was a fun night, let me tell ya!

Maddux Plane



Hi and merry christmas everyone. Sunday is my day to make a blog.

Jadyn is leaving oatmeal outside for the reindeer and Santa crackers and cheese cause he might like that better than cookies.

Jadyn did something dumb I dont remember what it was and I asked her if she was born in a barn? She says no, but baby Jesus was.

Maddux keeps calling Santa- snowman.

Santa came to Madduxs ICD christmas party. Maddux hid behind my legs and shriveled to the ground.

We went and drove around to look at Christmas lights tonight. Bodey was super fussy.

Simplify your Christmas by embracing the spiritual side of the season.

The gift of Christmas isn't wrapped up in presents or parties. The gift of Christmas is Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten of the Father, the Son of God. As you follow Him, you put people first. You may spend less time in lines and more time serving others. You may spend less money on - and more time with - the people you love. You may lose yourself and you may find everything else that matters.

About a week or so ago we had a pretty big snow storm. Pat had to shovel our drive-way about 3 times. And I kept thinking about some of our old elderly neighbors. And visualized in my mind Mr. Grant out there shoveling his walk. It was making me sad. Finally I couldn't put it out of my mind any longer and told Pat we needed to go over there to see if there drive-way had been shoveled. We did and sure enough it had not been shoveled. We visited with Mrs. Grant and even though it was a little awkward at times it was fun. I think it's important to remember the true meaning of Christmas. I am sure having a heck of a time trying to teach my daughter that its more than just Santa. The message above I found on lds.org and felt that any one who reads can benefit.




tis the season

all 3 taking a nap. it's a busy time of year and it's wearing them out.

Baking Day

This is a tradition of Bekahs. I loved it. We made some yummy food. The 4th picture is Tina. Shes single! I think we should hook her up with Kris. And the last is our attempt at cute Santa babys. Poor Bodey he still can't hold his head up and then Wyatt peed on him. Lol.

The biggest hill in Kansas

This blog is mostly about nothing. It was 4 degrees this morning. We tried to build a snowman but I thought we might die after 2 min of being outside. Bodey is holding rattles and playing with toys. Oh and he can laugh, I have yet to catch it on camera though. Baby stages are so fun. Maddux is so scared of the dark it's ridiculous. He loves baseball, basketball and Thomas the train. And Jadyn, what would I do without her? Maddux would probably starve because shes the only one who can get him to eat. She loves preschool. Pat has been tearing it up in league basketball and thinks he is getting an A in his stats class. I am currently bored at the moment but should be looking up a home made eggnog recipe or something. We got new tires! Thats life here. Happy Trails.

Do things like this happen at your house?

You open the cupboard to get a pan and find that your daughter has made a cereal casserole.
You put a box in the trash and 10 min later you find your son stuck in it.
