Train park!

We went to the train park with a group from church. We had a wonderful time they had so many Christmas decorations to see while riding the train. They also had TONS of characters like Elmo and Barney there and the kids loved that. Before going to the park we had a yummy dinner at the Johnson's and then after we rode the train we headed back over to their house for hot chocolate and smores. It was fun.

Snow! Well kinda

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

Mud Mud everywhere!

Emma and Mason had a wonderful time playing together outside. We finally have a grassy yard and they just go straight to the dirt pile. Well it has rained a ton so the dirt pile isn't dirt it is MUD! I went outside and took pictures of them playing then went into the kitchen to make some lunch ...

I was about to go outside to let them know lunch was ready and this is what I found!

I don't think this picture gives Emma's dirtiness justice. Her hair was caked in mud and her nightgown had brown spot all over it. And no my daughter is not still in her PJ's at lunch time I am a much better mom than that! ;)

I then tried to get as much off them as possible with the hose but it was to cold to get them too wet so I knew I had to bath them both.

when I got into the bathroom I found the reason Emma was in the house in the first place she had used the restroom. The whole toilet seat was covered in mud. My kitchen floor looked pretty bad too. All I can say is I love tile! We really had a fun time with Mason and Jane today.

Seeing santa

We went to a Christmas party at Tyler's school. They made a ton of crafts and Tyler even went near Santa this was a first!

Trying to take pics!

All of you with three kids know how hard it is to get a picture with everyone looking good. Well here are the best of the ones I took. I will just let you imagine the bad ones. I do not think I got any of them with all three looking and smiling.

Reagan was very cooperative. Maybe I will just send out a card with just her.

Or maybe this will be the picture of the year. I bet they were all smiling in this one!

My little elfs!

Check my kids out they are CUTE!

December 1st

Joe finally talked me into putting our tree up. Well he didn't really talk me into it he just went to the shed and got it out and brought it in... what can you say to that. I know it sounds like I am Scrooge or something but I love the holiday season I just don't love having a tree up for too long. For me 2 weeks is enough. The kids are always taking the ornaments off and hiding behind it. So on December 1st we put it up and decorated it.

Sunday Dinner

On the weekends Joe usually does some grillin. This week he made stuffed chicken breasts. They have sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese in the middle. It was so delicious!!

I made the yummy rice-a-roni! I know I should be a chef!

Grass!

We will have lived in our house for 2 years next month and it is sad to say our backyard has been nothing but dirt! But I talked Joe into putting seed down. He said not until we got a sprinkler system and I told him I would do all the watering, all I want is grass so my kids don't look homeless and their friends don't go home so dirty every time. So here it is the beginnings of my back yard!

Tyler's turn for Pictures

Because Of Tyler's black eye we had to wait to get Tyler's pictures and the group picture done. Here they are I think they turned out really well. It was hard to get all the kids to be good for the group.

I Love my kids!!!

Makutu's Island

We went to Makutu's Island with Tyler's preschool class today. We had so much fun. I couldn't even find Tyler half the time. Emma was a little scared of the nets so she stayed close by for the most part.
