Getting Ready for Christmas

We brought the kids over to bake a few goodies for Christmas. We all had a blast putting on the finishing touches. Here are few pics.

Momma's Ark

Well so far we've combined three families into one household. Not exactly easy but do-able. The next to join in our home will be two (not just one) puppies for Christmas. Now Sam has wanted a puppy for a while but I always say NO, not until we get a fence, replace the sliding glass doors for easier axcess, & what ever excuse I can come up with. With that being said, it is not us that will be getting the puppies but my mom & brother. Not sure what they're thinking. I LOVE baby animals but also treasure what shred of sanity I can hold tight to. Sam now has more of an arguement of why WE should get our own. Sure, fine- but you can take him to work and potty train it every day; I've got enough to do for now. I suggested a simple goldfish; that was of course laughed at but it's something that wouldn't be time consuming! And enjoyable for the boys.

Next order of business is that there are talks of another family moving in...my sister & her munchkins. The kids I MIGHT be able to handle my sister however is in an extreme state of I WANT IT MY WAY, I"M THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD. I can't really go into all the details except to ask for prayer. We need wisdom & God's favor. It's possible that in the next 3-6 months I may have three more kiddos to be responsible for. It's a scary thought but I'd rather go this route than to end up with the kids scarred for life or worse....PLEASE PRAY FOR US as in all of our household.

CRAZY

The weather is outrageously crazy around here! Last week the low's hit around twenty & yesterday we broke a record hi of 80 degrees! Can we say sinus issues??? We may break another record today~ The boys and I went outside to play today. 70's is actually nice in the middle of winter but I'm thinking that cold weather would be just fine as well! Stack must have brought a little bit of Texas heat with her. Now if we could just throw in some snow we would have seen it all this season!

It's so much fun when someone actually reads what you write!!!

Or COMMENTS I should say!!!!

My friend Priscilla & her baby Paul

Paul is just nine months old & Priscilla is three months pregnant. Say a prayer for her! Her baby is super cute, kinda like the Gerber baby.

Nic's

It's so refreshing to go somewhere and not have a schedule of things to do. The kids we so funny. Justus & Darcy were hilarious. Kinda like brother and sister....they'd get along & then fight for a sec. Anyways, we had fun hanging with Matt and Nic! Sorry no pics of the adults. The kids kept us to busy.

Grandma & great grandfather~ Merry Christmas

A couple of pic of the boys with Sam's family...

Spoiled!

My child is spoiled! Check out the pics from Bama. Justus got this 4 wheeler from his grandmother in Alabama. The stinking thing wouldn't even fit in our car; Sam plans on going back to get it in February for Justus' birthday. Thats fine by me, that's two more months that my child will have all his limbs in the right place. Sorry, I just don't think this is an appropriate gift for a three year old. Obviously Justus would beg to differ, & his daddy as well. Welcome to redneck country!

Ps No child rode the 4wheeler alone!!!!
