Spencer

Spencer has been trying really hard to learn how to write his name! He has the "S" down and writes it to claim is territory on different things! Since his middle name is Ty and much shorter I asked him if he would like to learn that instead and he said no... alrighty then :)

Christmas week...

Christmas sure went by fast! I was supposed to work at total of 8 hours but was lucky and only ended up working about 2! What a deal! Kenny surprised me with a beautiful canvas picture of red poppys for my front living room wall. He even hung it in the right place! We openend presents then went to my parents then back home for me to work then went to Kenny's parents. It was a long happy day. The following day we went and saw the water horse at the movies. And Thursday we went to an aquarium and got to touch some sting rays. I have also started testing of a new way to get the kids to get along! When ever they start fighting with each other they have to sit together and hold hands. You can not believe how difficult that is for them but as soon as they sit quietly and stop sqeezing the death out of each others hands they can get up and play again. We have done it in the car and at home and it seems to be working. And I get a laugh out of watching them try and work it out!

Where did 2007 go???

We are almost out of 2007! I can hardly believe it! The kids have toys scattered throughout the entire house and the recycling bin is FULL of wrapping paper and boxes from the toys. We have had a really fun year! Hope that you have as many happy thoughts as you think back too! xoxo Hil

Ever see your grandma do this???

So we have been in our house for well over a year! We have had trouble with the dryer vent condensating downstairs and making a drippy mess! Kenny finally went down to investigage and turns out the dingbats never vented our dryer to the outside!!! The pipe goes right to the outside wall and stops! WHOA! So in the meantime of having Ivory come out and fix it I have resorted to venting into a pair of my old panyhose! ahhahaha! I cant believe how fast my lovely dryer works now! And now I know my old one was ok... it just had trouble because there was no where for the air to go doh!

I love a Handy Man!

Kenny whipped out our storage room shelving while he was on Christmas vacation! We bought the lumber on New Years Eve and we (but mostly he) put them up on New Years Day! Hip Hip Hooray!!!



This picture was my Christmas Surprise!!!
I told him I wanted a picture of poppies for the living room and how expensive they were at Ti Pan. He found this picture and had our friend Jeremy print it and mount it. He even hung it on the wall in the exact place I wanted it! What an awesome gift! Thanks babe!

Here is our tree for the 2007 Christmas Holiday Season :)

Sledding Fun!

December 10, 2007

We went sledding over at a park by our house. Em and Spenc were fearless! It was a pretty big hill and both wanted to go down by themselves.
Spencer went down on his stomach on the sled and the snow just flew up in his face and down his neck burrrrrr!
