Rylee turns 3

Rylee had her birthday party at McDonald's on Rock Prairie. What a great deal. The party package included a movie, the party room, cake, goodie bags and the meal for each child along with access to the play area. I think Teresa said, it was about $7.00 a child. The kids loved it and had a blast! Wow.....now, why do I work so hard to do these "other" parties for my children? Hummm....I must be just crazy! No comment...please!!!

Cassandra's Dec./Christmas Dance Recital

Awe....brother is so proud of his dancing sister. She did a great job performing at the George Bush Presidential Library. Thanks, Aunt Missy, Jessica, Dillon, and Jason for coming to watch me. Wow.....the library put some money into this event.....they were giving away delicious cookies and punch and as many crafts that you were willing to do....all FREE of charge. I really like that word....FREE ;-)

Exterminator Needed

Okay....no, I don't really need an exterminator, but when I saw Jase climbing into my cabinet, he reminded me of a great big bug climbing into the cabinet. Too cute....but also.....scarey.

So....is this just one of those cute things BOYS do right? He climbs up on everything. Doesn't he know the law of gravity yet? So scary....I'm so worried he is going to fall and bust his head wide open. Oh my....I have to keep an eye on that boy!

John Deere Outing---New Desire for Blogging!!!

Okay fellow followers......I have some bad news and good news. I learned from a friend that you can print your blogs (sorta like a scrapbook) and I saw my friends book and it was really good. It was compact and very nice looking. I'm not a 100% sure yet....but I'm leaning towards....NO MORE SCRAPPING. It's going to be hard to quit because somehow I've managed to stay current but it so expensive and I have SO MANY books. I'm running out of storage space for all my books. I'm thinking I'm going to create 3 blogs. One to focus on Jase's world, one for Cassandra's life, and the other for the family, (kinda like my scrapbooks). So, I'm going to try to get current on my Dec. pics. Then....start my new blogs for 2010. Wish me luck. I'm not sure if I'll follow through.....but I have good intentions.

So....these pictures are from our John Deere outing on Dec. 5. These guys put a lot into making a nice outing for families for Christmas and it is all FREE. I was eating a lot of sausage on the sticks. I think I ate mine, Cassandra's and Jase's. Yummy...they were good! Sebastian and Holley were there and also Cassandra's friends Makenzie and Faith. We are starting to learn a lot of people's name that live in B/CS now. Pretty cool!

Jase was not too interested in Santa Claus....I guess it's not his year. But Cassandra has learned that old St. Nick is a really cool guy. He gives you presents. So....she was eager to tell Santa she wanted a digital camera.

Trimming the Tree

We have started a tradition that Daddy is reponsible for always putting the angel on the top of tree, it cannot be done unless Daddy is here to help do it. So....yea, I convinced him that we needed to put the tree up before he left to go back to work. It's a cheap one....we plan to just throw it away after Christmas. And I'm okay with that because this one was a whole lot cheaper than buying a fresh cut tree and throwing it away.

Yea....job well done!

Someone else had to get into the action. He is pretending to smooth out the angel's dress.

Mission complete!

Now Momma's happy!

I think Cassandra took this picture......a little crooked!

Let's start putting Christmas presents under the tree. Cassandra wants a digital camera and Jase wants Buzz Light Year.

Could they be any cuter?

Ooops....I forgot what these pictures were about. OH yea....just looking cute!

The End!

Tire Swing

Okay....I found two spare minutes to do a little blogging. I'm waiting for Jase to wake up before I go to a church friend's house for a cookie exchange at 4 o'clock. I really love this time of year but it is hard to get it all done. So...I wanted to put these pictures up because I thought they were so cute. Before Cory left to go back to work, he hung an old tire swing up for the kids to play with. I thought that was sweet of Cory to do that for the kids even though they have a swing set already. I think he is also going to hang a second one some where else in the front yard when he comes home at the end of this month.
Jase helped his Daddy drive his tractor.

Waiting patiently for the tire swing to be hunged.

Yea.....I love it!

Wow......a lot of people can swing at the same time.

WE love it Daddy! THANKS!

Now all we need is a push!
