Christmas Ramblings....

Well we had a really nice Christmas and New Year...and we were all really spoiled!

I did manage to fool Chad this year...last year he received a video ipod and this year...I got him the Bose system to play it on. But the "fool" was that I purchased a lot of little silly match box cars and wrapped those up in big boxes and put them under the tree...the kids giggled as he opened each car...and Gavin was in heaven because as we all know he loves cars! I think Chad was getting a little concerned and then we let him open up his real gift.

Jackson revealed to us this year that he had his doubts about Santa...until Santa was able to pull through with the very so hard to find and popular Wii...he was so cute when he told Chad and I that he now has proof the man really exists ;)

Ashlee was in heaven with all of the Brats Make-up...I don't even think she played with anything else and we have all received so many "make-overs" to the point that we all feel like fashion models...her latest victim is Gavin and he is so patient and holds really still while she smears make-up on his entire face...you just can't help but laugh!

Gavin...well let's just say that the boy has more cars and trucks than 1 child should have...he is really enjoying them all! Lucky duck!

I of course was spoiled...that husband of mine goes way over board...what can I say...I am one lucky gal! I received the cricut expression and design studio for Christmas! Along with a few other goodies...Gotta love a man that will go into a scrapbooking store with a bunch of ladies! He's a keeper!

We also enjoyed "ringing" in a New Year...and are excited for all of the possibilities of 2008!

We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season! I will leave you with some pictures!

Merry Christmas!!!

We want to wish all of our friends and family a Very Merry Christmas! We hope that each of you enjoys the holiday with those you love the most!


With love,

Chad and Jennifer

Christmas Woes

Yesterday when I picked Ashlee up from school...there was a sign posted about pink eye and that the children had been exposed to it...sure enough after getting home she was showing some signs so I took her in just to make sure.

So...as many of you already know...Ashlee and Gavin both have it...grrrr...Gavin seems to be doing better...and will take the eye drops just fine. His sister seems to be getting worse already and not wanting to do the eye drops.

Here is a picture of our little pink eye girl after I got her eye pried open and cleaned up (poor sweetheart)...I hope she gets better soon.

Just a few dance photos of Ashlee

Ashlee is enjoying her dance class! She is doing really well...and is also really fun to watch! Here are a few pictures that we took at her dance studio.

Christmas Traditions

Last year we started a new family Christmas tradition that the kids really love. One night during December we make reindeer sandwiches and Christmas trees for dinner…last night was the night that we did this.
We also watched the original Rudolph the red nosed reindeer show…the kids had a blast!
Here are a few photos!

Fun @ the Patch

Well this year we tried out a different pumpkin patch...there were things that we enjoyed and things that we missed about our "ol faithful patch" but we wanted to try something new and we are glad we did!

Here are a few photos of us at the patch!

Have some catching up to do :)

Well I guess I never really got those pictures at the patch posted...opps! I will get to those next...but I was thinking I needed to share these pictures of the kids at halloween!

This year we had Aurora (Sleeping Beauty...with blond hair, the black power ranger and a little sweet clown that doesn't hold still for pictures!



We hope you all are doing great! and had a nice Halloween! Can you believe that we are already heading towards Thanksgiving! Totally Crazy!
