Our New Additions

Welcome Roxy & Murdoch. They are our new puppies. They are miniture pinschers. The girls are so excited. We suprised them - they had no idea we were getting puppies (neither did I!) They are brother and sister and were born on Thanksgiving day.

This is Roxy. The girls named her.

This is Murdoch. Brad always said that if we had a boy he wanted to name him Murdoch. This is the closest he is getting to a boy! He was easy to name.

Ashlyn's Preschool Christmas Concert

Today was Ashlyn's Preschool Christmas concert. She and all her friends were so cute. They sang Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - they were fantastic! Here are some pictures from today.

Did you notice that most of these pictures of Ash are her with boys .... the last one is Ashlyn and her "boyfriend" Layden.

2nD aNnUaL cOoKiE pArTy!

It's that time of year again - time for our 2nd annual cookie party. You could also call it a "frosting party" or "sprinkle party". I made about 7-8 dozen sugar cookies earlier this afternoon. 8 girls and Lukey arrived at 4pm and the festivities started. The kids had a great time decorating all the cookies. We had plenty of snacks and hot chocoate - can't wait to do it again next year! Thanks to all our friends for coming.
Thank you Janelle for taking all these pictues for me.

aShLyN being AsHlYn!!!

Here are some picture of Ashly being Ashlyn! She is such a ham!! Some of these are from Miss Kamina and the others are some that I took.

Don't ask - I am not sure what she is doing here. But Kenna sums it all up!

This is THE BIRTHDAY outfit from Gramma and Grampa that she asks to wear EVERY day! Gramma & Grampa took her shopping for her birthday and this is what she picked out all by herself.

She wears a leotard all the time! It is snowing outside and this is what she put on ... the girl is CRAZY!!

Our Christmas Tree

Today we went and got our Christmas tree. We went to a new tree farm this year. We had a lot of fun picking out the perfect tree. It was very cold, but they gave us hot apple cider to drink while searching for the perfect tree.

This is the tree daddy wanted to get, but the girls thought it was a little small.

Still looking. We went all the way to the back of the lot to make sure we saw all the trees before choosing the one!

Here it is BEAUTIFUL!

This is daddy's job - cutting down the tree. It is the girls job to yell TIMBER!!

Daddy is so strong! He carried the tree all the way back all by himself!
