AMAZING

Last night something amazing happened in our house now I know most of you wont think this is a big deal but for Logan it's just shy of a miracle.....OK are you ready HE ATE A WHOLE TACO. with meat and everything.....Logan doesn't eat a whole of anything let alone a half of anything..well maybe a piece of cake so there is the exciting news I'm sure you were expecting something like all of my kids were perfect angels and put themselves to bed quietly...I don't think that will ever happen :)

Our Gifts

We all got such wonderful gifts this year (we are blessed every year) I thought I would put a few samples on here for everyone to see. Hannah monmadisyn also got the wonderful streak & style. Logan tried it out as well . You couldn't have pink and blue hair with out some Hello Kitty press on nails. I really don't need to say more then that. We were all very lucky to get a wii I captured Logan and Madisyn boxing it really is a funny thing to watch thank goodness no one got me on camera boxing , bowling or any of the other things I have tried I know I look silly but it is so much fun we are having a blast. Logan got a crash n go track and he loves to crash his cars and a Aidan got a Nintendo DS he has a hard time choosing between that and the wii. And best of all I got the coolest gift on the planet from my very wonderful and very thoughtful mother-in law she really is the best.....she got me a Dooney and Bourke purse the real thing not a fake one. It is soooooooooooooo cute of course I have a picture of it. We are all very happy and I think that ever one will be occupied until school stars again THANK GOODNESS .

Christmas

We all had a wonderful Christmas (except for poor Tim he was sick your not supposed to be sick on your birthday) Our Christmas started on Christmas eve. Grandma Uetrecht got the kids the best gift ever and said that the kids could open it early so Tim could set it up. So I wrapped three presents with papers that said Go outside to the red shed here is the key to whats inside they all ran out there and opened the door and found two big boxes with the word trampoline on the side they were very happy and so excited. They all helped Tim put it up. Later we made cookies for Santa and reindeer food we opened our pj's and went to bed. The kids all got lots of stuff and we now have our very own Hannah Monmadisyn in our house. I hope every one had a great Christmas and have a happy New Year.

COOKIES

So today we decided we were going to make the ginger bread train. I have had the pampered chef train stone sense Aidan was a baby and I have NEVER used it (sorry mom). It has moved with us 4 times so I decided it was about time I pulled it out , we also made some cute ginger bread girls and boys. The kids had a lot of fun and they taste great. Here are some pictures of the event.

Busy Saturday

Well Saturday felt like a very busy day. Madisyn and I started out the day with going to a local nursing home with her daisy troop. The girls sang Christmas songs to all of the people that live there. They all sounded really good and looked very pretty in there Christmas dresses. Then we went out to lunch it was really nice spending special time with Madisyn. When we got home Tim was raking the leaves in our yard. So I helped. We have lots of really BIG trees in our yard. We filled 28 39 gallon bags full to the brim with leaves it was hard work. In the evening we took the kids to the Felton fire house in our town a to See Santa. The kids had a lot of fun and they each got $5 in McDonald's money. We did some last minute shopping after that. WHAT A DAY. I was very tired after that. I am happy to say that even after that long day we still got up and went to church the next morning. I included pictures of the kids with Santa and all the bags of leaves we raked.

christmas cards finally done

yippee I am finally done with my Christmas cards. This year I decided to make them...well it took me A LOT longer then I thought it would but they have been mailed so be looking for your card. The picture we took for the card was a event in itself Madisyn had the first melt down then Logan had one and all I wanted was one nice picture in front of the tree well we got like five really good ones out of 96 yes I said 96. At least we got a few good ones. So here are a couple of the Christmas pictures. And Tim and I went to the 9ths Christmas party last night it was fun and Aidan took a picture of Tim and I.

Our First Snow

So on Wednesday we got our first snow of the season. The kids were very excited. We only got 3 inches but it was enough to play in. On Thursday there was a 2 hour delay for Aidan. And Madisyn got to skip school because she is A.M. -K- and they only go for about 2 hours. I was a little nervous driving in it because all of you know I'm from CA and did not grow up with snow and last year at Altus was the first time ever that I had driven in snow or ice. But I did fine and I feel even better now that we have new tires on the van. So here are some pictures of the kids playing in the snow .

oops

So I realized that I have been putting the pictures in wrong place. It took me a while to figure it out. But I think I got it. This weekend we put a new front door in. We didn't really need a new front door but the people that lived here before us REALLY REALLY wanted the front door. So they payed us for our door and we got a beautiful shiny new one. Madisyn has her Christmas concert tonight so I'm sure I will have pictures from that to post tomorrow. I hope everyone has a wonderful day :) I included some pics of me and Tim, Brittany and her husband and one of me,Britt and kimber. Oh and a picture of the door

fall at our house

One of the things I was looking forward to seeing when we moved to the east coast was a real fall. I have never lived anywhere that had a true fall with the pretty trees and crisp weather. It has been really fun to see all the many colors of all the differant trees. I have included a few pics of our yard and the kids playing. There is also a unrelated pic of me and my sister Brittany. I just thought it was cute.

logan Turns 3

I can't believe that it has already been 3 years. It seems like just yesterday we were packing up our house a 2 year old a 4 year old and a 4 week old Logan to move to Altus. Boy does time fly when your having fun. Logan had a wonderful birthday and was very lucky to be able to celebrate it with his Aunt kimber Aunt Brittany and Uncle Steven and grandma and pop-pop. We went to Washington DC and had lots of fun . In the picture of Logan he is holding the mickey mouse blanket I made for him as a birthday presant. He was so excited he loves Mickey mouse right now. So hopefully his forth year won't go by so fast and he will stay as funny and cute as he is now.

Hello

I am excited that there is way to keep in touch with all my friends and family and a way to let everyone know whats going on with us I mean come on doesnt everyone want to know when Logan does stuff like pee in one of Madisyn's kitchen cups and then blames it on a sleeping Aidan :) (sorry no pics with that one ) So check back ocationally to see what fun and interesting thing the williams family is up to.
