3 Christmases

If that is even how you spell it. We have had a busy 2 days. We went to the Lawyer's to do Christmas with them on Christmas Eve since Jeremy and Brandi were heading to her parents today out of town.

We had a great time and the boys loved their gifts.

This morning we got up early and headed to the Kenney's and did Christmas there then left about lunch time to come home to do ours here. My parents came out to watch the boys do theirs since they didn't have anyone at home today.


We have had a fun and exhausting day, probably mostly exhausting for me since I have little one inside me. We are so excited to think of next year with a 5 1/2 and 3 year old and a precious 6 mo. old!

God has been so faithful and good to us this year and I know that He will continue to amaze us in 2010.

So now we wait for January 25 when we find out if we will have a Caden Bryant or Harleigh Faith!!!!

Basketball

Cooper has started playing basketball for church. This is his favorite sport and has been I think since before he could walk. He has waited years to play and finally has the chance.

Last Saturday was his first game and he loved it! He scored 2 points and was just thrilled to be out on the court.

Yesterday when he woke up and was getting dressed for his game he told me he was going to score 20 points and dunk it. I said, we'll see about that.

Before I go into the next part, I was the only one at the game. Colton had a fever, so Jon said he would stay home with him and no one else from our families were there. I didn't have the video camera b/c it wasn't working so....

Cooper scored 28 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was incredible! I love watching him play and it just makes me so happy to see him in his element and loving every minute of it! Basketball was a huge part of my life growing up and I am excited to get to watch my son enjoy it as well!

What a great kid! Wish I could post some pics.

Happy 2nd Birthday Colton!

Today you turn 2 years old. I cannot believe how fast time has flown! I remember when you had such bad reflux and we just couldn't wait for it to get better, it did feel like it took forever at the time but it really flew by.

You have grown up so much and we are so proud of you. You love to do everything Cooper does but when he is gone to school you love all the attention. I can't wait to see you as a big brother!

You have brought us so much joy with that adorable smile of yours!! We love you and are honored to be your parents!

My picture thing still won't work, maybe one day I can put pics on here!

Thankful Thursday

I know sometimes I forget all that I have to be thankful for and focus on the negative so today I thought I would write a few things that I am extremely grateful for...

* my God who is so faithful to me
* a house with working heat for my family
* 2 working cars even though one doesn't have heat, they both work!
* a son who is doing awesome in school
* a son who is growing like a weed at home
* a precious baby growing in my belly, come on Jan.25! We want to know who you are!
* an incredible church that we get to serve along an amazing staff
* A HUSBAND WHO IS THE MOST AMAZING MAN THAT GOD BLESSED ME WITH, I COULDN'T DO LIFE WITHOUT HIM!!!

I know there are probably thousands more but that is good for now.

Colton's 2nd Birthday!

My baby will be 2 years old December 17th but due to the craziness of December with everyone having so much to do we decided this year to go ahead and have his party today. It worked out great! We might try and do it the Saturday after Thanksgiving every year.

I cannot believe that he is getting so old. Feels like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital.

My blog is messing up since I changed backgrounds and won't let me upload and pics but once I figure it out I will put some on here.

Second Thanksgiving

Well Friday morning we headed to Cordova again for our second Thanksgiving at the Kenney's. Jon's brother, Daniel, moved to Nashville back in March and none of us had seen him since so it was GREAT to spend time with "Uncle Daniel" and get to catch up.

We played card games and catchphrase. We had fun and when lunch was almost ready the element in the oven caught on fire! As we hurried to get all the cooked food out the back door others decided what needed to be done, do we call the fire dept or do we use the fire extinguisher?!??!

After getting everything out of the way, Sarah pulled the pin and sprayed the fire. Nothing...did it again....Nothing. They then decided to just close the oven door to cut off the oxygen to the fire. Smart. The fire died...but the kitchen was covered in dust from the smoke and fire extinguisher.

So we ate our lunch outside on the patio table. Nothing like a quick change of plans but it was alot of fun and we definately made memories that will last!

Here are a few pics of the day...

First Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We had a wonderful day today and we are very excited about tomorrow. For the last 6 years Jon and I have been hitting both parents houses for Thanksgiving all in one day. It was very exhausting, even more so once we threw kids into the mix. But this year we decided to do the Lawyer's today and the Kenney's on Friday.

It was so nice to just relax with family and not be in a rush to get to the other house. We are so excited about spending the day with Jon's family tomorrow!

Hard to believe that this is our last Thanksgiving with just Coop and Colt. We are excited to see our family at this time next year with 3 kiddos!!! :)

Here are a few pictures of Thanksgiving at the Lawyer's...we took our dogs, Griz and Donut, with us and they tried to make it in a few pics!

In random order...ENJOY!
