Daddy's little helpers

The boys received new shovels from Santa for Christmas. They love to go out and help daddy, which has already been a few times. Daddy says Brady is a really big help. Isaac mostly just goes out to play in the snow.



Isaac however is a big help putting the garbage bin away after the truck came this morning.

Christmas Day 2008

The boys received a few new train toys. Above they are opening up a new train track that winds around. Isaac calls it the roller coaster track because it goes around in a circle. Below they got a couple more additions to the track. One was a tunnel and the other was a cargo loading area.


Christmas Day was a little more quiet. We opened our gifts in the morning and had time to play with some of them. Then we all got dressed and headed over to the Neuser's for the annual Christmas day luncheon. This is the chance when we get to see all of the Uncles, Aunts, cousins, etc in one place. Unfortunately, not all of them get to come, which is probably a good thing because the house isn't big enough to hold them ALL!! But, we did get to see quite a few of them and it is always nice.

Christmas Eve 2008

I didn't get a whole lot of pictures from Christmas this year. Christmas eve night was really busy. We went to Grandma and papa's first to share Christmas with them. Here, Isaac is counting how many presents he wants.
After we opened gifts and ate dinner, we left to go to Uncle Kevin's house to meet up with the Smits. Fortunately, they were all waiting for us to get there to do the girl Christmas gift exchange. Because we got there so late, we weren't able to visit with the family very long before many of them left. But it was nice seeing everyone the little while we had.

I'm back

Hello everyone

Sorry, it has been so long since my last post. I've been pretty busy lately and every time I was trying to do a post, I was having issues with uploading pictures. I think that has been fixed now, so hopefully I will be able to do some more posts.

Since it has been so long since I've posted, I figured I would just post a few pictures from Halloween. It was such a beautiful days for Trick or Treaters in our area. I think the temperature was around 70 degrees. It was almost too warm for what the boys were wearing. Brady was a pumpkin and Isaac was Eeyore. They really had a great time this year and had fun going from door to door collecting their treats. Shawn stayed home to hand out candy at our house, while I went with the boys.


I will post some more updates later today or tomorrow.
