And a Happy "To" Year

Zachary has been singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy "To" Year. Just yesterday I realized he was saying "to" instead of new. Cracked me up.

We hope everybody has a terrific New Year!

Pictures from Zachary's camera

Doesn't take the best quality picture especially when he doesn't hold it still, but he's getting a huge kick out of it all ready. Enjoy!




Hodge podge post

I do love to keep trying new things. So this time around I've picked up crocheting. It was extremely aggravating at first trying to figure it out, but I just didn't want to give up. Finally figured it out and love it.

For Christmas present this year, I made my nieces and nephews their own pillowcases & bought them new pillows.

On Christmas Eve, we took the kiddos to an inflatable jumping place so they could work off some energy. I decided to get in on the fun and totally biffed it. I know the sign said to go feet first, but I thought it would be hilarious to have Zachary riding on my back as I'm going head first. Dummy! I was ok until the bend and did a major face plant. It's a total rubber burn which stung like 100% more. So I get to look like this for weeks until it heals!

Merry Christmas!!

I hope everybody had a great Christmas and remembered Christ and his sacrifice for us. I have a friend in Idaho that does Christmas gifts a bit differently. She gives her children 3 gifts symbolic of the 3 gifts that Christ received from the Magi. I just love it as it ties the meaning of Christmas back to Christ. So Jason and I decided that we would start that as our new family tradition. I really really hate greedy children!! I think doing it this way will hopefully cut some of that off and help our kids learn to choose gifts that they really want not just go for everything. And I have to say, Zachary didn't even notice the difference! It was a great Christmas.

New ride

Went for Lucas' 9 month check up and he is now 30 inches long and weighs 22 lbs. Definitely has gotten too big for his baby seat so we got a new one for him. Which was a great deal at Sam's. On the tag it said $79, but when I got up there to ring it up it was $69! It's a nice seat. Children really do grow up fast don't they?!


Santa mail and a bit o' snow

Walking!!!

So Lucas has finally decided to let go and here he is. I'm in for it now...
