Graduation Day

First I thank Jesus, my savior for His grace and mercy as He gave me the strength and desire to complete my graduate program. With Him, I can do All thiings no matter how big or small. Thank you Jesus. Second, my husband has earned a degree also! Without Bryan's love and support, there is no way that this task could have been accomplished. We made a great team and Bryan stepped out above and beyond with his parenting, household chores, love for his wife, and on top of all that still worked. Bryan, I love you so much and I thank you for making this NP program possible. Thank you for putting up with me and with all of the added stress over the past 2.5 years. You rock! Thank you for all of your love a support. WE DID IT!

Christmas Tree Day

We had a great time going to get our Christmas tree at Lowes! The kids helped pick it out and then we took it home and Wyatt helped cut the netting off the tree. We spent the day listening to Christmas music and decorating the tree. It is always fun to put all of the different ornaments from over the years. It brings back many great memories.

The Silly String

Grandma Lew sent a Christmas package to us and in it was a can of silly string. Watch this entire video to see the kids' reaction! Wyatt loved it and you may guess that Jane did not! This is entertaining!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had one of the best Thanksgivings that we have had in a very long time. Uncle Mike, Aunt Barbara and Great Grandma Wininger all came over to share the day with us. We did our Turkey on the BBQ and it turned out to be excellent! Grandma made an awesome gravy for us from the drippings (I still need to learn how to do such good gravy!) It was nice to share such a relaxing day with great food and wonderful family. Thank you for coming and making our Thanksgiving great! We love you all!

Back to November

We had a great party for Wyatt! We took him to a place where we all jumped in the blown up jumpers! It was such a fun time not only for the kids but also for the adults! Wyatt is really into pirates and he wanted a pirate cake so that is what I did! I attempted to copy a treasure chest picture that I had seen. In the end I learned that adding more candy really makes the cake (and covers up the mishaps!) I can't believe that my little boy is now 4 but he is growing up into such a little man. He is such a polite and loving little boy. He loves playing with his sister (or bossing her around!) He is really into pirates and loves to play with toy guns. As Wyatt continues to learn about who God is, I pray that God will use us and others in his life that he may see, acknowlege and accept God's grace in his life. I love you so much Wyatt!

Halloween 2009

We had Kevin, Jeanne, Shawn, Heather, Charlotte, Spencer and Emma over for Taco Soup and a little Trick or Treating.
The kids had fun....Jane only lasted a few houses and then wanted to go home and we sat out front and passed out candy. I lost a bunch of pictures that I took on my camera and that our nanny took of Wyatt at his school party and of the kids.....I was pretty bummed. Anyway, we had a great time and all of the kids were so cute!

September 2009

Just some new pictures of the kids! Jane eats
the playdo while Wyatt plays! They love to
wear their boots to play outside.
Jane decided that she would pull the blinds down
on her face as I get a call from the Nanny that I
needed to come home to see if she needed stitches.
I decided that she did not but it may have been
better than the bandaid thing! She hated it! She
was very mad that her baby had bandaids too!
Jane has had more injuries than Wyatt ever has...
guess she will be a tomboy like her mother! We
are all doing well. Wyatt loves pre-school and he
colors in the lines so well...his teachers are
impressed with him. Jane went poopy in the potty
today for the Nanny! She is such a big girl and this
is our first day of potty training...impressive!
