A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

Some Winter Time Fun

Once again I am finding it hard to keep up with this blog...so everyone I am sorry. So here is alittle recap on what has been going on this winter. At the end of October, as most of you know, my Grandmother passed away. We all were able to make it down to Cali for the funeral and some quality time to spend with my parents. Even though the reason for the trip was not a happy one, the trip itself turned out great. Here are some pics of our dinner at Bubba Gumps after the funeral.

My mom and dad treated all the grandkids to the flashy light cups so of course we needed some pics with them in it. Thank you Grandma and Papa!!

My boys are still loving those cups. We have to use them at dinner quite frequently.


I actually got Delton to smile for once!!! And it is a real smile, not one of his smirks that he does in pictures. Ahhhh...he actually loves me. :) hehe

My mom and dad up near the light house outside of Bubba Gumps...aren't they just gorgeous? I love you mom and dad and you guys are a very good looking couple!!!

Around the beginning of December we always get our Christmas tree. We lucked out this year and got a pretty good looking tree for just $30! The rules at our house is Delton does the lights on the tree and then the boys and I hang up the decorations and the ornaments.

Every year we switch off with the boys on who gets to put the angel on top of the tree. Cameron was so excited to do it, he couldn't even wait till the tree was decorated. So wa had to do it a little backwards and put on the angel on top first. Oh well...as long as Cameron is happy!

Cameron was getting really frustrated on putting the ornaments on tree because they kept on sliding off, so I had to sit down (since bending over right now is not very attractive)and help him with his ornaments. So as if today, most of the ornaments are at the bottom of the tree. I still love it!

As you can tell Gabby was really excited about the tree! This is what she did the whole time. :) So much for the whole family helping.

The finished product...not too bad! We had to get the family picture in front of the tree...some clothed, some not! :) I figure you all are use to seeing Delton without a shirt on.

I was trying to get the "perfect" shot of the boys in front of the tree but they had other ideas. The were enjoying goofing off too much to sit still long enough for me. So it is a "perfect" pic for my boys!


We got a nice little storm roll in one night and it dumped just enough to have some fun in the snow. Keegan was trying to show Cameron how to build a snow cave but there just wasn't enough snow to dig one, so they ended up making some snow beds.

Keegan has gotten really good at making snow angels and just loves it.

Cameron wasn't too thrilled about laying down in the snow. He said it was just too cold and so he missed out on the pic.

And of course Gabby had to get in on the fun! She just loves her frisbee...even in the winter!

Delton got his workout for the day pulling the boys on the sleds. This was just going down our street and the boys had SOOO much fun!
They took turns on the sled by themselves and then together.

They were laughing, smiling, giggling and just having a good ole time. Their smiles were just priceless.

And Delton sure did sleep that night, really well.

We are all doing really well this winter season so far. Not too many colds and Baby Kyler is still "cooking". Christmas is just 2 days away and I can't wait to see the boys faces! Bud and Sheila had made it home for the holidays and it was great to see them. Hopefully we can get alot of time together while they are here. The next few weeks will be interesting...we have the new year, my due date rapidly approaching, painting and getting the nursery done before he arrives, my mom will be up at the end of Jan, welcoming another nephew and everything else that can happen!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
