Chrismas Day

Tucker on his four wheeler
Playing with his blocks

New rocking horse that BJ made

The kids favorite present was the slide

We put the slide on our stairs. I am hoping this will keep them busy when I want to work on the computer downstairs. The second time Tucker went down the slide he caught some air on the second bump and ran into the wall. Now we have a bean bag at the bottom so he wont run into the wall.

This was my Christmas present from BJ. He made this entertainment center for our TV. He loves to build things. He is so talented and good at what he does. I am amazed at what he can do. I just have to show him a picture of what I want and he can make it. I have a long list of projects for him!

Christmas Eve

Building their gingerbread house - Tuck didn't help much. He just ate all the candy.
Christmas Eve . . . We went to lunch at the Training Table with my family then all the cousins went ice skating. It was Maddies first time wearing iceskates. Usually I just make her wear her shoes on the ice. She actually did pretty good for her first time. She fell down a lot and I asked if she wanted to take the skates off. She said "no - if I don't keep trying then I wont get fast."
Later that night we went to the Staleys for a turkey dinner. His parents always go all out on the dinner. They had my artichoke dip so I was set. All the food was yummy! Then the kids opened their Christmas PJ's. We always give them new PJ's to open and wear on Christmas eve.
Tucker and Maddie had a sleepover in Tucks room that night.

Playing in the Snow

Sledding down the drive way



My Oompa Loompa
The kids loved playing in the snow while I snow blowed the drive way. Tucker tried to ride his big wheel in the snow - he didn't get to far though!

Going Private

Sorry everyone - but I am going to make my blog private! Some of my friends have done it and I really like the idea. I will send out an email to everyone.

My Ballerina

Maddie loves to dance on the big stage with the lights.








I am amazed ever time I watch her perform (and no-I didn't cry this time Holli & Kelsey). She always does a great job. Already she is better than her Mom.

Lazy Blogger

The only way to take Tuckers picture, is to put him on something high.
That way he wont run off.








Its been awhile since I have posted anything. I have been burned out with blogging. I didn't think any one really read it anyway but I have had a few comments lately that I needed to update my blog. My good friend Alicia showed me this picture spot. (Alicia if you are reading this - I think we need to take more pictures of your kids. I didn't do a very good job the first time)
