Merry Christmas!!

I have just a few pictures to share. This first one is Aaron at our ugly Christmas sweater party! Everyone loved his sweater. Thank you mom!!


Bryan helped us decorate the Christmas tree and he loved it! He kept thanking me for letting him help When we were done he was quite disappointed and wanted to do more.


The next few are just us after church today.

Bryan's Doctor Appt.

I just have to post this little story. I want to always remember it.

On Monday I had to take Bryan to his 4 yr old check up appointment with the pediatrician. I knew that he would be getting shots but I didn't tell him before hand because I knew that he would worry about it. So after the doctor left and we were waiting for the nurses to come in, I told him the bad news. He immediately got scared and started hiding behind the exam table. He kept telling me that he wasn't going to get shots and that he had to hide so the nurses couldn't get him. A few minutes later, the nurses came in and Bryan started to scream and cry. I had to pull him out from behind the table and we put him on the table. The nurses and I had to hold him down while they gave him the shots. That was extremely hard for both Bryan and I. We were both crying! After it was done he got his sucker and sticker and we went to the car. While we were driving home he told me, "Mama, you broke my heart! Mama, you ruined my life!!!" Then he went on to tell me that he was going to tell all the kids not to go to the doctor and if they did have to, that they should hide. I love my little boy so much and I love the things that he says.

Playing in the "park"

A couple Saturday's ago, the weather was so nice. We went outside and played in the kid's "park" in our backyard. Jenna is just being able to play on it by herself. She has learned how to climb up the ladder and slide down the slide. Both the kids love it so much. Halloween pictures to come next!











Keep scrolling down, there are also new pictures from Bryan's birthday.

Bryan's 4th Birthday

Can you believe it? He's 4!! I surely can't. Time goes by way too fast. Bryan was very excited for his birthday. He kept seeing things on t.v. and telling us that he wanted that for his birthday, and even now, he sees things and tells me that he wants it for his birthday. I have to tell him that his birthday is over now and that he will have to wait a while for another birthday. He is such a big boy and we love him sooo much! Here are some pictures from his family party that we had.



He wanted a Lightening McQueen cake, so I decided to make one and use his own cars. It's a cookie cake. I know it isn't the best looking cake, but he liked it, so I guess that is what matters. He thanked me afterward for using his cars.





He got some very nice toys from Aaron and I, Gran and papa, Uncle Ricky and Ma and Papa. He has had a lot of fun playing with all the different toys!!

Pictures from California trip that I forgot, plus others...

Since I am really really bad at remembering to update my blog, I have a lot of pictures that I can post. Here are a few and I still need to post some from Bryan's birthday! Those will have to come later.

Jenna decided to climb up in the drawer and then got really mad when she couldn't get out.
Jenna found one of my necklaces the other day and wanted to wear it all day. She had to wear one to church even.
Jenna's first bangs bump and pony!!
When we were in California, my mom and I went into the other room for a minute and when we came back out, we discovered this!
Jenna was very proud of herself!

Bryan was very scared of the police car at first because he thought it was loud but we talked him into sitting in it.

Jenna decided to crawl in the back of the stroller instead of the front.

Random Pictures and California Trip

Things have been pretty crazy for us the past few months so I haven't been able/felt like posting. We just got back from a trip to California. The kids and I were there for 6 weeks and Aaron was there for 2 1/2 weeks. We had tons of fun and we were able to spend a lot of the time that Aaron was there, over at the beach. Here are some pictures from our trip and also some random ones from before. There are A LOT of pictures since I haven't posted in FOREVER! They are a little out of order.


We were able to take some family pictures at the beach!
The kids playing at the park at the beach.
Aaron found this wetsuit at the house that we were staying at, so Bryan tried it on!
Jenna LOVED the ocean. She was not scared at all. When I put her down for the first time, she ran out to the water and when it came up to her and went over her feet, she stopped for a second and looked down. It seemed like she was trying to figure out how the water was all the sudden there. Then she just kept going further and we had to go stop her!







I got to go with my friends Sara and Katie and sister Keri for a girl's weekend. We had a blast.

We rented a little motor boat type thing and went out on the ocean. It was really fun and really cold!








Papa and Bryan riding the mechanical horse.

Bryan on his "park" at our new house. He calls it his park.
Back in July we went the youth in our ward to Stone Mountain. It was really fun!

This is all the way back to the 4th of July. The City of Kennesaw does fireworks every year on the 3rd of July.


Now we go all the way back to June. These are some lake pictures. Jenna had to wear a life jacket since she is way too brave around the water and will just go get in all by herself!

The rest is just some random pictures.
