The kids papa and my daddy, along with my one doggie and their two pups over for our Christmas visit. I got a pic of my momma too, she just doesn't make it easy with the camera. They drove over from Shelton and made it all safe and sound. And it was entirely to short!!! We want to thank you for all the great gifts for the kids and us and for our Mr. Max, he loves his new sweater!!! LOL
And here's Max in his new Christmas sweater from Papa and Grandma.

All the kids surrounded around Dad watching and waiting for Santa on the NORAD Site. They had so much following him along the world.

Our Tree full of presents for many many people but we made it work. Everyone was very excited and blessed to have so much love from out family.

OUR CHURCHES CHRISTMAS PLAY
Zachie walking across getting ready for his 1st play ever.

Here is where the little kids were patiently waiting for their turns. Zachie is the one next to his teacher in the red. Sitting back waiting his turn.
Sierra along with the other Angles. They each had their own line to memorize. (Sierra is the 1st from the right)
Savannah reading about Christmas morning. She did an amazing job!!!
Zachie being a Shepard, and singing along with the song. (1st on left)

When the play was over, all want to face forward for a pic, so Zachie all you can see is his face stuck in between the boy Shepard in the blue and the angel on the left. It was so cute he just wanted in there to see everyone. They all did a great job!!!

The Castle on the dock at the Lakes of Couer d'Alene.
It was snowing and very cold/wet when we first went and walked to largest floating dock but it was fun and we had a great time!

Just four of mine for the first pic, someone was having a "moment" so I got my happy ones in the sleigh. Before we road the boat to the North Pole.
Here is a pic with everyone in it!!
And again all of mine are in there.....not all smiling but hey their in there. Along with Morgan, Tristian's girlfriend.Now we are up in the top level of the boat cruising looking all around the lake and all the millions of lights they had up.

Monday Favorites

My favorite household chore.....well that would have to be vacuuming especially when the vacuum works like a new one. I could vacuum all day long!! Just moving furniture and to use the hose to get around all the walls, corners etc. Shoot I even like to vacuum my kitchen floors too. And my second favorite would be first if our house was planned out better, but I love to rearrange our furniture. But since our living room/dining room doesn't leave much room to do that I will have to say vacuuming would be my favorite chore. I remember listening to the oldies but goodies when I was a little girl and playing with toys while my mom would vacuum and we would end up dancing.......those are some great memories!!!

Favorite Mondays


Let's find things we like...favorites of sorts. This will be the second of six Mondays that I will post what my favorite things are. Each Monday has a different theme. Feel free to join in on whats your favorite too. I just feel we needed to be more grateful in our lives and this is one way to show it.


Whats my favorite thing about my husband......

Well I can't think of just one so here is a few. His selflessness and willingness. Putting up the Christmas lights when it was windy and freezing out, the fact that he does 99.8% of the driving and that who else would take on a already made family with fours kids, six years ago!!!!
