Monster Trucks

This is the only one I can get to upload for some reason. 
We took the kids to the Monster Jam show at Alltel. This was an interesting evening. The kids had fun and then....everything went down hill from there. Jacob had been so excited about going to this. I could tell he was not feeling well from the moment we arrived even though he would tell you he felt good. By the time the truck show was half over, Jacob was running a fever and his eyes and nose were running like a river. He wanted to fall asleep so bad but would not close his eyes. He was bound and determined to enjoy the show. He was so pitiful looking. He was also wearing ear protection b/c it was so loud and that was getting him frustrated as well. We decided to leave a few minutes early because Emily decided to join in on the misery and was crying that she wanted to sleep in my lap. Jacob had a complete melt down at this point and cried half of the ride home. They were both out by the time we got home. He had a 101 temp and that was taking it under his arm. We were there from 5 till 9:30pm and that was after the kids having sleepovers the night before and playdates earlier in the day. They were pooped. It was fun, I just wish Jacob could of enjoyed it as much as he wanted to. (pics won't post, working on it)

My beautiful Roses from Chris

I have a wonderful husband who brought me these the other day for no reason other than he loves me. How blessed am I to have such a wonderful man in my life. I thank God for him everyday.

Christmas at Granny's

We went to Moms for Christmas dinner and it was of course so good. It was a nice gathering of the other side of the family and the kids had a nice time. They loved their gifts and I think Daddy had more fun with Jacob's nerf gun and remote control car than Jacob did. He is such a big kid.

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas morning and the kids were so appreciative of their loot. I can't help but think we are doing something right when my 4 year old comes in the loving room to see all the her Christmas goodies and the first thing she says is "Momma, you can open your present I got for you now." How sweet is that! We had our traditional monkey bread for breakfast and played around with all the new toys till around noon. Thanks to everyone for their wonderful gifts, they really do appreciate it. I can't wait until next year when we have three little ones to adore.

Christmas Eve

We had a nice time at home making homemade sweets and cookies. Emily made peanut butter cookies for Santa because that's his favorite. We made homemade pizza for dinner, which was a tradition of mine growing up so we decided to carry it on. The kids loved making their own pizza. It was such a nice time at home with our family.

Texas Christmas

We headed to Texas the weekend before Christmas to visit and enjoy Chris' side of the family. The kids of course had a blast. We had a good time visiting and making Christmas candies and crafts. The kids got oodles of goodies and loved every minute of it. We hope to head down again sometime in March during Spring break. Planning trips around school schedules is beginning to be a bit of a challenge.
