Scooter Fun!

Damon wanted to make a little ramp for his scooter this weekend- so with the help of James, a board, and a few bricks, they came up with a little one!






Winter Gala

Jaymz school has a Gala (dance) every couple of months which is basically their fundraisers for the year. They are usually on a Friday night and they have food, a game room, take pics, and dancing of course!  The 6th graders have to leave at 9:00 pm, 7th graders at 9:30 and 8th graders get to stay until 10:00!  They are pretty fun and most everyone goes.  We were asked to take the pics for the Christmas Gala.  James took the pics and I helped get them into groups and looking good! It was really fun to see all the kids and get to hang out!!  Here are a few of J and his friends! There is a whole group from church that go to school together and hang out!!

Its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together....

Hello again...

Yes I realize it has been forever since I have blogged.. don't know what my problem is! I think I got too far behind and kind of gave up.. but here goes again! Going to try and be better since we have no family close to see our every day mischief!! (although I know most everyone see's my facebook posts!)

So a lot has gone on since I last blogged but Im just going to start from recent so I don't feel too overwhelmed!

We bought a house a couple of weeks ago! We are so excited to be in it and finally feel like we are going to settle somewhere! They kept pushing back the closing so it was very stressful, but finally in the afternoon of Dec. 22nd we signed all the paperwork!! It was interesting trying to get everything moved and put away so we could have somewhat of a normal Christmas! BUT- We did it! We about killed ourselves doing it, but we got it done!! We have some AWESOME friends that came over and worked hard to help us get in! We definitely couldn't have done it without them!! I have had lots of requests for pics- and I don't feel like it is where I want it to be, but it will do for now! Im not talented in the decorating area so it will be a work in progress!!

Christmas was great! We were all exhausted but it was good. We went to church, hung out with some friends and relaxed at home!








On the 28th Aubrey had to get 8 teeth pulled!! 4 wisdom teeth and 4 others (to make room for her braces to do what they need to do) The poor thing did GREAT! She was most nervous of the IV! She was hilarious coming out of the anesthesia! I got some on video for her to see! She was really swollen for a few days and both cheeks were bruised! She hasn't had much pain though so that was really nice!!
