Breakfast with Santa

Gabe got to go to a special breakfast with Santa for his school. It was an event just for the kids and dads and grandpas. Gabe had a great time and got to go shopping for everyone in the family..... we still don't know what we got "have to wait" he says. (He did tell us Uncle Joel got tape ha ha) He told Santa that he wants a talking Buzz Lightyear for Christmas!!!

The Polar Express!!! All Aboard!!!

We had the best time on the Polar Express. I tried to get tickets last Dec when I first heard about it but it was sold out. So this year I got a group together and bought tickets early (which is in Oct. for anyone looking to go next year) 18 of us went. I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids :) My mom and her neighbor made all the pajamas. They turned out sooooo cute.

Black Friday!!!!

Shopping at 4:00 A.M. with Diana ... what fun. My favortie part was being some of the first people in Target and watching Diana grab things off the shelf like a mad woman ( knocking a few things over ha ha) I'm laughing just thinking about it... thanks for making my day Di. :)

Great Weekend

I had a really great weekend. Saturday morning we went to a free program at Lowes where kids get to make things with their parents. They give the kids aprons and goggles and then at the end give them a patch to put on their apron (like brownies does). It was really cute to see Gabe and Brandon build somthing together. They built a football goal post... After that we went to Noah's B-day party, Gabe was really excited because it was a WALL-E party. We also got some much needed family time, going to the park and cooking together. I also did a photo shoot on Sunday that went really well, I'm having a lot of fun with that. Also Hank Jr. is doing really good, just a few stiches in his tounge and his jaw is actually wired but it dosen't seem to bother him too much.

Keep Moving Forward

Our current family motto is "Keep moving forward" Yes it did come from the movie Meet the Robinson's (having a three year old you will find yourself quoting cartoons) But what a great attitude to have at a time like this. Life will go on and the only thing we can truly have control over is what we are going to make with what we are given.
