January/Sledding Fun

Wow its January 8th already, can't believe how the time flies I must be getting old hahahaha. Sometimes my life feels like a big blurr. Why is that? The day after Christmas we took the kids sledding, it was a beautiful day lots of sunshine and the temp was just right. I can't believe how much Rachel loves it, I was for sure that she wouldn't like it last year but she surprised us and she loved it. Sara however wasn't too sure, the first run down was fine, but after that no way. I did get her to go down a little by herself and she was okay with that but for the most part she didn't want anything to do with it. The boys of course LOVE IT and can never get enough of it. We have been trying to go again, but haven't made it and now the weather is way too cold to go. Hopefully next weekend we can go again. Hopefully we get a little more snow too. Meanwhile we are enjoying our new place and love having lots of room. The last two days we haven't had school and its been so fun, the kids have enough room to play and do their own thing. Not that we don't have our little tiffs but not like before. Its been NICE! Hopefully I will be able to get the the rest of the house in order, only thing left is my room and the spare bedroom/craft/scrapbook room. Wish me luck. Jonathan first run down the hill

Christmas Pictures

Finally I am able to post Christmas pictures, December was a BLUR and especially the week of Christmas. It was very busy with Doctor appointments and we were unable to do any Christmas shopping until that week too, yes it was busy and a little nerve racking to say the least. As I look back on December, I wonder what my kids thought, hopefully everything that was going on didn't faze them too much and they had a good Christmas. Jared got up at about 1:30am Christmas morning, not too long after Santa had come, he was so cute, I had made pumpkin pie and he wanted to leave a slice for Santa and of course a glass of milk, with a little note, he is all about the details. Dennie wasn't able to get him to go back to sleep (way to excited) but he was able to get him to wait until about 4am that's when he came and got me up, so our day started WAY TO EARLY!!! In the past we have always had to wake the kids up so it was okay and this year new rules go into effect no one gets up until 7 am. We had a very enjoyable day and we even got a nap too.

I have been a real slacker, but I will post Christmas pictures and stuff within the next few days (I hope anyway) HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. Melody
