More snow…and...

Elli and Weston watching the snow come down…

and…Weston has taken up a new interest…

It snowed!!!

We got the first real snow of the Winter Season today...

 After finishing up Grammar, Spelling, Writing and Math the kids headed outside to play for an hour… 

…then it's back to school till later :)  WOOHOO!!

Christmas fun...

Christmas was pretty laid back for us.  We had a virus of some sort make its' way through our family so we rested a lot in between all the fun :)

Daddy and Brandon went shooting…well not really…that was just a story they told so that they could secretly go Christmas shopping...

 Once Brandon got home we decorated the tree...

Cowboy style...

 We made Christmas cookies...

 And then Christmas finally arrived…

Daddy and Brandon got me this beautiful picture of the USAFA to add to my collection…we have a wall of pictures…each in a matching frame…of all the places we have lived :)

 Joshua got a Golf shirt...

 All the kids pitched in and got Brandon THOR'S HAMMER...

 Weston got a guitar that is shaped like a dog...

 Can you guess what Joshua got me?

 All the kids pitched in and got Trevor a nerf gun…A Zombie Nerf Gun!!

 Our little Princess adds so much to Christmas…a shining jewel amidst all the boy stuff :)

 Jason wanted a leather jacket sooooo bad...

 Brandon got some weights for his dorm room from his dad…he needs to bulk up a little...

 Mommy got Cowgirl…or Caligirl…boots from Daddy…SWEET!!!

 Elli got a doll that looks just like her :)

 Weston got a big toy that you dump balls into…he loves balls!!!

 Reagan…or Captain America…had a blast this Christmas!!

 Jason got a Zombie Nerf Machete…doesn't every boy need one of those?

 Brandon got Elli a little couch and she has used it everyday since Christmas!  It opens up to a bed, so truly, day and night, that couch is in use :)

Elli and her twin…matching hair…matching dresses…so girly :)

 Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year…we love you all and wish we lived closer so that we could all celebrate together…maybe in 2015...

9 Months Old!!!

Weston is 9 months old!!  He has done so much growing in the past month…

He is standing on his own…

 He took a couple steps recently…

 …and his first tooth finally broke through!!

Happy 20th Birthday Brandon!!

My Baby boy is 20 years old today!!

He is a blessing and a joy to his father and me…and he is the best big brother in the whole world!!

Happy Birthday Brandon!!

8 Months old...

In all the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving…and all the sickness we had before Thanksgiving…I didn't get a chance to post Weston's 8 month old picture.  So here he is...

I love that toothless grin :)

Thankful for haircuts...

Jason and Reagan got rid of their Greg Brady hairdos just in time for Thanksgiving :)
