Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I can't believe it's over.....you work so hard to prepare and get ready and it barely hangs around so you can enjoy it long enough!!! We had a great Christmas though, Christmas Eve we went to my parent's house and had a really yummy christmas dinner, then we opened a few presents. When we got home that evening, Santa had left one present each for the kids. They all got some new jammies and a special ornament to hang on the christmas tree. You can't really see the ornaments, but, Justin got a superman ornament, Jakey got a spiderman ornament, Joey got a batman ornament, and Madison got a baby's first christmas ornament.



Christmas morning the kids woke up and found Santa had visited the house. They were pretty excited to get started but had to wait very patiently for Uncle Aaron to arrive. Granny, Pa-paw, Uncle Aaron, Becky, Uncle Sean, and Nana and Papa all came over to watch the kids open presents. We had Christmas Morning breakfast and then hung out all day playing with the kids toys, watching christmas movies, some football, and even daddy's new toy World Series of Poker for PS3!





Daddy has been off all week, so we have been enjoying his company at home. He goes back to work next week Wednesday and I head back to work on Thursday. For now we are focusing on enjoying our new year, and then we will start to think about getting back to work.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year!!!

First Post

I am not sure how many people will be checking this out, but I am following in my sister-in-laws footsteps and thought I would start a blog. We are an extremely busy family, and hopefuly this will prove to be a good way to keep some of our friends and family updated since we don't always get a chance to keep in touch over the phone.
I can't believe Christmas is only a week away. I have just about all my christmas shopping done, except for a few last minute things. I have not even begun wrapping yet and I need to get busy fast.
Justin and Jacob have their christmas program at school on Thursday. I am looking forward to it, it should be very cute. Mrs. Jones said Justin and Jacob have been doing very good with their songs and their dances.
Joey is still really good at getting into trouble. He can officially climb the top bunk of Justin and Jakes bed, and today we discovered he can climb back down as well. Yesterday he dropped my phone into a glass of pop and basically fried my phone. I saw the wheels turning in his head when he was looking at my phone and the glass, I just couldn't move fast enough to stop him. As soon as I went towards him he looked at me and dropped it into the glass. So needless to say my phone is not working at the moment.
Madison will be a month old this Wednesday. I can't believe it already. It's amazing how fast it goes, and its a little bit bittersweet. Knowing she is my last makes me want to keep her little that much longer, but of course its so exciting watching them grow too. I just try to treasure every moment with all of them because it really flies by.
I am due back to work on Jan 4th. It will be sad to leave the kids, we have had a lot of fun. It's been a lot of adjustment to new schedules, mommy being home, and a new baby, but at the same time its been fun. I will try hard to keep this updated and share all of our exciting news and events.
