John-Isaac lost his first tooth!!!

 John-Isaac has had a loose tooth for a few weeks now and I have been watching it very closely since I had no idea how he would react to it!  Well, yesterday we were sitting in the Wal Mart parking lot while Brian ran in to return something and I ask him if I could [...]

Santa came to town!

  Santa did make it to our house and I am happy to report that no lumps of coal were found this year:)  Layne was up very early jumping on our bed like a very hyper chihuahua puppy!  We got John-Isaac and Linley up and opened all the presents that were left under the tree!  [...]

Christmas Eve 2008

  We love Christmas Eve at our house!  Every year we make Reindeer food to sprinkle on our lawn so Rudolf and all of his buddies will know where to land.  The boys take turns scooping the oats into the mixing bowl and then sprinkle glitter in it so the reindeer can see it sparkling [...]

Happy Birthday Layne

It was eight years ago (on Dec. 19) that my life was changed forever!!!  At 8:30 on a cold December night a 7lb 8oz little boy named Layne entered my life and gave me the title of Mommy.  He was and is the best Christmas present I have ever received and nothing will ever top that gift!!  It [...]

Dede’s house

After the Christmas parade every year we all go to my mom’s house for donuts and hot chocolate.  Then all the kids get to open one present which is always new Christmas pajamas.  It is a fun tradition and one the kids really enjoy.  Even though Layne looked at me as we were going and [...]

Christmas Parade

 We got all bundled up and went to watch the Christmas parade.  I think we all had so many layers on that all of our closets were half empty!  The boys kind of walked like the little boy off of a Christmas Story! LOL!  The bummer was that my camera died right after the parade [...]
