It is Show time

It was McKenzies dance program today.  She did an awsome job!  She was a little shy but since she was the youngest I guess that is to be expected.  Great Job!

All 9 Grandkids were there for our Ginger bread houses

It was fun watching the grand kids make the ginger bread houses.  There was a bit of compeition going on between Gavin and Skyler.  Brandon was much more careful and thoughtful with his selections.  Stockton was great to help Cameron.  Ady and Mckenzie worked to gether.  Aunt Brandi and Aron made the big ginger bread house. 

It is Done!

Our little Aaron's quilt is done!  Thanks to so many.  I purchased the fabric and binding with the direction of Brandi.  Vicki's friend suggested someone to quilt it and then her friend Nancy paid for the services.  Trudy Nelson put the binding on and again would not let us pay her.  Thank you it looks beautiful!

Happy Thanksgiving

This pretty much says what I am thankful for.  I wasn't very good at taking pictures this year!  Stockton is getting to that age were he doesn't want his picture taken.  My kids who I am very thankful don't like me to take their pictures.  I usually go ahead and take them, but I guess I was'nt up for the resistance this year.  Just know that I am thankful for them all including my husband!

Lots of bubbles

Brandi and Sam went to see Twilight for her birthday.  The boys got to spend the night with us.  They always look forward to haveing their bubble bath in the big jet tub the next morning.  I think they did a good job on the bubbles

Happy Birthday Brandi

We all got together to wish Brandi a Happy Birthday.  It was fun to go to her house.  Love you Brandi!

Who said that to my kid?

Do you remember when your kids were young and they came home from school devastated from something that someone said or did. That feeling that came over you how you wanted to take this away. Little did you know that this was only the beginning and that there were be so many many things in their lives that you would want to take away for them. As they get older the things get bigger and some times the pain is so great that you can hardly bear to watch.

This morning I am reflecting back on my four kids t and remembering so many times. But of course Brandi's situation is most fresh in my mind and it is so hard to not be able to fix it or make it all go away.
