Dear Santa...

I don't know what I want...this candy cane will be great!

I know who you are...

Could I have my two front teeth?

I'm not too sure about this Santa:)

A Walk Through Bethlehem

This afternoon we took a walk through Bethlehem. A church close by did a fantastic job of reminding us what Christmas is all about. The boys loved it and we have a new family tradition.

Thanksgiving Vacation

We had a wonderful time at Grandpa & Grandma's "snowbird" home. We went swimming, hiking, running, bowling, wiing, miniture golfing, and much more - the boys are ready to move there:) We flew into Las Vegas and the boys thought it was cool that we were in four states in one day. Two of LeAnn's brothers came down and we enjoyed playing with them and their families. Thank you Grandpa & Grandma for a fabulous thanksgiving trip!

Oh Christmas Tree

Every year the decorations go up sooner...Jeff loves that:)

The tree was actually set up Friday night and the boys have been anxiously awaiting the decorating part. This has not always been the case - my cute neighbor girls use to come decorate because the boys were not interested.

We're obviously not quite finished with Halloween which is why spiderman is putting Christmas ornaments on the tree. Justin also loves the Christmas music (another thing Daddy is soooo excited about!) and he sat at the computer listening to Mannheim.

An angel left this nativity on our door a few years ago

for the 12 days of Christmas.

It's one of the boys favorite things to play with.

I love setting out the mantel nativity!

Grandma spoils us with most of our Christmas decor!

Baseballs, soccerballs, basketballs and footballs...

and a few bows too:)

Nick could not wait for the Christmas books!

He read them and put them in the basket for quick access.

A beautiful nativity quilt.

Santa soaking in the sun and golfing.

Undefeated

Nick's team was undefeated this season!

He played with a great bunch of boys and had excellent coaches.

Way to go Nick!

Nice hit buddy

Nick's Team

Who did you vote for?

Nick came home from school today and said that he had voted for the new president. I asked him who he voted for, and he said, "Obama, because he likes to play basketball and I'm going to play basketball too."
Oh the simplicity of life through the eyes of a 6-year-old:)

Witches Brew

Happy Halloween

Looking forward to lots of sugar!

My Helpers

We were having a few friends over for witches brew

(homemade rootbeer) and pizza.

I walked outside and my cute little helpers

had set out all the plates and cups:)

Our House Is Haunted

There are some spooky things going on around our house.
Just the other night, while we were sound asleep, we were awakened by a noise. It was our electric toothbrush. It turned on all by itself.

Both LeAnn and I were too tired to get out of bed so we listened to it run. It would go on for a few minutes then turn back off. The toothbrush continued to turn itself on and off for some time.

The next day our ghost (whom should have clean teeth and good breath) was at it again. I was able to get these two pictures of him brushing his teeth in our master bath. Then later in the downstairs bathroom.

This story is absolutley true!!! If I'm lyin...I'm dyin.
