Emma!

She tends to crack us up more and more! Between her and the boys there is never a dull moment! Listening to them sing in car can be the most nerve racking thing ever but Justin and I just look at each other and smile! Emma just scream and weird kinda hum and the boys actually do sing the words to the songs! But however it is it is really funny to us! Emma has started climbing the bunk bed in the boys room no this is not good!! She has no fear! Today she put her blanket over her head and ran into the wall and Braden and I laughed at her well she laughed at first but the. Ran to Braden and was sticking her tongue out at hi and blowing spit at him! Which then made the two of us laugh even harder at her!! I wish I could have videoed it!

Christmas day!

So we had one child that woke at 3 am and the other at 5 30 so needless to say we were tired that day! The kids were so excited they all unwrapped everything then little miss Emma went back to bed she loves her sleep!! We went to Justin's dads and did Christmas with him then headed out to our deer lease! We spent nine days there and loved every minute of it! It was so nice and relaxing the kids played from the time they woke up till they were wanting to go to bed at eight that night! They never stopped! Justin got him a spike and I shot two does! I had so much fun! Can't wait to go back this year! We meet some great people along the way and enjoyed everyone's company! We celebrated new years a day to early cause new years eve nobody was in the mood to drink!! We just had a blast!! Thank you everyone for the great memories made!

Christmas eve!

We spent the day with all of our family! First we went to Jim and royas where we had lunch with Travis, Katrina, and jc! We exchanged gifts with the kids and enjoyed everyone's company! The kids played some twister and even uncle Travis tried to get in the game but we all agreed that the mate that comes with the game has shrunk!! After there we left and went to my Aunt Carolyn's house to visit with everyone! Always enjoy being with them! I didn't grow up with them but since I have became a mom I realized that family is very important and my kids should know each and everyone! They have opened there arms to us and our kids and have made us feel so at home and loved and we are truly blessed and thankful to have them in our lives! The kids love them and are always excited when we get to see them, they are all always there for us when we need help with the kids and for that we are very lucky! Thank you for all you do for us and our kids we love each of you! After there we left and went and had Christmas with Justin's family at aunt Lynn's! We always have a great time there! We let the kids do a little gift exchange and then the adults play their gift game and usually the girls get a little more intense then the boys but this year they beat us! The kids got lots of great gifts from everyone and we had a great time visiting! Thank you everyone for the gifts we a truly blessed with amazing an amazing family!

Makenna Faith Ware!

My brother Jim and his wife had there baby girl on dec 16th she is such a cutie! They all seem to be doing very well I think the adjustment period is getting better!

Mood gardens!

So every year I have always wanted to take the kids to see the festival of lights! So we decided to go this year with Adam, Nicole, Adeline, Baylor and all of us! We took the kids to eat at rainforest cafe (food is not worth it) but the scenery was great for the kids! So then we went to moody gardens got there and started walking down the trail and Justin said Theresa i really hope this gets better and i was like yes sure it will this can't be all this is hahaha guess what it was we are not at all impressed by it and honestly I don't think the kids were either! Like our brother in law said we could have rode around and looked at lights on houses better then that! The snow for kids to play in was not even very fun for them! But we did enjoy the company of all of us together we don't see them very much so it was very nice! Making a note for next year not to go back!

Carter's 5th birthday!

Wow our Carter is 5! He has been looking so forward to turning five! He always tells us that when he turns five he will be able to ride his bike without training wheels, ride the four wheeler, tie his shoes, ect ect! He had a friend over and he told carter he could ride his bike without training wheels and carter looked at him and said no you can't your not five yet! I honestly have no idea what made him think everything happens at five! We had a great day with family and friends thank you to everyone that came and celebrated his day! We had cake, chili, and a jumper and lots of his friends from school! He had a blast! He got lots of clothes, monster trucks, football, a bb gun and lots of "one dollars bills"!

December

Where did this month go to?? We have had such a great Christmas this year! We enjoyed the holidays with the kids so much! I am sure some have heard about our elf "buddy" our family had so much fun with him the kids loved him! He was slightly mischievous on a couple of occasions, he wrapped our Christmas tree, he had a marshmallow fight with the kids toys, he wrapped the kids doors in wrapping paper, he got into our sugar and made a snow angel, but all in all we had a lot of fun with him our kids would light up every morning when they found him! We left christmas morning forms our deer lease in west Texas for nine days and when we returned Braden realized Buddy was gone he cried and cried he was very very sad he missed him! So that was tough watching him get so upset that it made us miss him to it is so amazing what we get attached to with out kids! Sounds kinda cheesy but we just really had alot of fun with him as a family!
