Christmas time

I just wanted to say how thankful I am to have 3 wonderful children. I love them so much and am proud of them everyday. They are growing up so fast. It just seems like the time is slipping away. By spring, Reagan will be 10, Grayson 8, and Jackson 5!! It just seems like yesterday when I was bringing them home from the hospital as newborns. I guess I am just going to have to give them lots of hugs and kisses and let them grow up anyway! lol

Oh the weather outside is frightful....

It is an official :::: SNOW DAY:::::: We woke up this morning to this! The kids went out for a little while this morning,but not long enough for me to get some pictures.


Here is the back yard and it is still snowing. BRRRRRRRR!!!

Daisy on the other hand LOVES the snow!!! :)

She is always digging her nose in the snow to sniff things. Look at those mischevious eyes! lol
This is her side profile... she is a supermodel! lol

Nap Time

We have been trying to get a nap time routine scheduled for Jackson since the beginning of preschool. We haven't been too successful though. Well, today I decided that he HAS to have a nap and told him to lie down while I put laundry away. I told him that i was going to put some music on so I could listen while I worked (psst..it was a lullaby CD with womb sounds and heartbeat). He started crying saying "I dont want to slleeeeeeppp. This is sleepy music" I told him in a convincing tone that "this was just relaxing mommy music that helped me do the laundry" Still...more crying but he wasnt trying to get out of his bed..hmmm. Well, I told him that maybe "Teddy" could lay next to him and listen to the music. Then I hear from under the covers "It is okay Teddy, you don't have to go to sleep either." Awww! Then I look over and see this... my sweet little boy is still my baby no matter how big he gets..lol.

Cub Scout Space Derby

Grayson and Chad spent a whole day working on his rocket for the space derby. It ended up being a fighter jet because Grayson saw a picture of one and that is what he wanted. He sanded and sanded it. Then, they painted the details. All of that hard work really paid off because he won "Best in Show"!!
