Okay.....

Okay I got the hint! Everyone can stop harassing me. I am updating our blog. So much has happened since I last updated the blog. So I will start back and move forward. In September the kids and I met up with Char and her sister at the Waco Zoo. It was so much fun!! We saw some really cool animals.


We also had a great time on Halloween. The kids had a great time dressing up and going trick or treating. Kylie loved dressing up!! She picked out her own costume. I tried to convince her that she wanted to be Snow White, but it didn't work. She has a mind of her own.

The kids have really had a fun time playing and having fun together. It was fun watching their imaginations fly as they would come up with new games and new ways to play together. It is one of the joys of being a mother when you see your kids love playing together. I had to add this picture of Kylie. She fell asleep in the middle of dinner. It was pretty funny:)


In October we finally closed on our new home. We have waited for many years to get into a new home. We truly felt blessed when we found this home. It has everything that we needed, plus the things we wanted. We are very grateful for everyones help in helping us move. We couldn't have done it alone. Everyone was pooped by the time we were done.


We did have a great Thanksgiving. We had some friends over and had enough food to feed an army! Brent just couldn't get enough!

Brynlie has really been growing! We can't believe that she is almost 1. She has started to take steps. She is staring so much younger than any of the other kids. But we love her beautiful smiles!! You can help but smile with her.

SNOW!!!! We actually had snow. It didn't last long, but the kids were thrilled to see it.

And now that brings us to Christmas. We have enjoyed getting ready for the holidays. We also loved having Grandma Lybbert here for a week. She was willing to come and help us out while I had surgery on my foot. It was so fun and very helpful having her here since I couldn't walk or drive for over a week. It was comforting to know that everyone was being taken care of. Kylie loved helping grandma set up the decorations, well at least she started out helping.

So that brings us up to date. We hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Years! We miss you all and wish we could be with you to celebrate. We also hope that none of you freeze wherever you may be. :)

Leslie, I hope your foot feels better. You guys have had quite the busy year. Brent, you are so busted for not calling Dave when you were in town a couple of weeks ago.

Glad you updated. Not that I don't see you all the time and get updates but you know. Always fun to see pics. Kylie would have been a great Snow White for Halloween. She and I could have been twinkies. :-)
