Merry Christmas!!!

We wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

I love me!!

I have always taught the boys how important it is to love yourself. I was so touched that Tyler wrote this on a drawing that he drew. It was a very proud moment for me as a mom. I love him so much.

Bunkbeds

I am so extremely thrilled that these beds are finished. Cory found instructions online and made them all by himself. I haven't painted them yet, they are so heavy. So maybe during the summer. I am thinking of cream or brown and distressing them like crazy. I have matching bedding and the boys are getting matching blankets for Christmas. I am so happy with how they turned out. Cory did a really good job on them. He is so talented and I am lucky he was able to make this.

Bows

I have been super busy trying to figure out how to make these new kind of bows. Once I did...I was on a roll. I think I made 53 bows. I love to make them. Now, what to do with them.

Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a really long day. We started at Mom and Dad's house and visited with them and Jenni and Ted. Then, we went to a church and had dinner with the Miles. It was a very eventful day. We are grateful for the blessing we have in our lives and for the family we have.

Staples

My poor little Jason had to go the E.R. to get staples in his head. He had been in the time out chair and knocked himself over by kicking off the wall. He had big gash in the back of his head. We felt pretty bad. Now the kids don't ever want to be in time out again. Ha ha.

He was quite the trooper for the 10 days he had them in. He was so careful about his head. He was very worried about sleeping because he didn't want to bleed on his pillow. What a sweetie pie.

Ahhhhh

So I have been experimenting with my hair lately and trying new ways to curl it. I have the Hobbs super fine hair. I have to use hot rollers everyday or else my hair sticks so flat to my head...well one night I decided to use foam rollers that you sleep in...this was the result. An Afro..it was a little insane. Tyler still laughs about it. He thought I was funny.

The boys!!!

Oh these boys sure do bring us so much joy and happiness. They are so awesome. Tyler has really come along ways since we started medicating him. He is so funny. It's almost like all his anxieties he had before have gone away and his true personality is really starting to shine more. He says the funniest things and is a real sweetheart. We are so proud of him and the hard work he has accomplish. Hopefully he will continue to do well. Jason is just a little sweetheart as well. He is my little sidekick while Tyler is at school. He likes to help me around the house and when I coupon. He has learned how to climb up onto the cupboard though..and that is not a good thing. The boys are best friends and play really well together. We love them and are so blessed to be a part of their lives.

Brooklynns Playground

A new playground was recently built here. The sun was shining, so I went ahead and took the boys to it. It is a huge playground. We had fun running around, going down all the slides, and playing the musical instruments they had there. It is all enclosed and like I said...HUGE.

We were there for 2 hours. It was a blast.

Jason's favorite thing there...the TRAIN. Of course it was!!!

First Snow

I thought these pictures were so funny. The boys were moving so much and jumping up and down that they didn't turn out very well. But, this was of the first real snow we've had this year. Like I said, the boys were screaming and jumping up and down. They were so very excited that it was snowing. All they were talking about was the snowman they wanted to build. Ha ha.
