CHRISTMAS 2009

I wanted to give a really quick recap of Christmas for our family this year. My favorite story involves Porter and Dave. Porter spent a few days of the season trying his best to be eligible for the "naughty list." Of course don't we all sometimes deserve to be on the "naughty list?" :) Anyway, on one of these days Dave told Porter that he better stop or he would have to call Santa. Porter who did not even pause to think ran over got a pencil and a piece of paper and sat down at the table. He proceeded to recite as he wrote on his paper, "Dear Santa, my dad is being so mean! Can you please call him and tell him to be nice............"

Tracking Santa on Christmas Eve

Porter spent a great deal of time under the tree just like this

We took this picture for my Grandparents who gave us these matching shirts. Everyone including extended family on the Porter side received one. They say Forever Together. I love them.Surprise!!!!!!! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the Wii........... I think they like it!!!!

I love this picture of Porter with his new bike - his helmet is a little tight :)

Kaden and his new bike

Colton and his new bike

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!!!

So these are the things that I've had to confiscate from Porter just today. I just had to chuckle at the vast variety....

hammer (yikes), nerf gun (does anyone remember my eye being almost shot out), aloe vera ???, and chips (of course)

wonder what the rest of the day will bring??

If Kaden Was An Alligator

In the summer time I have my kids do journals. I give them topics and they write about it. I found this in Kadens journal and it made me laugh. I gave them the topic "If you were an alligator......" Here is the translation.

If I Were An Alligator

"If I were an alligator and if you got to close I would jump out of the water and get you and it won't be pretty and who nows (knows) what will happen but I'll probly (probably) eat you so watch out I'm an alligator and this is all true."

I love boys!!!!!!!

Ok - how cute is this? :)
****For the record so no one thinks we are bad parents...

Colton was only holding this gun for the picture******
