Something new

K, so we have things happening around here that are new.

First, Bre Bear is now wearing glasses.

Second, KC went to get his hair trimmed, but they cut it short.

He hates it!

DAVID GOT HIS BRACES OFF!!

He said he had to have them off before Thanksgiving, so last week

he got them off. He now has to wear ritainers, but thats fine with him.

He has a hug smile on his face all the time now.

I think he is sooo cute, oh, sorry. He's HOTT!

And (I do not have a picture right now) December is all healed up!!
So just so many things that we are learning about and exited about around these here parts.

Pizza time

Every Friday or Saturday we have pizza so last week I decided to try to make our own.

Here is David with the kids getting the toppings on.

We had a fun time doing this together.

The kids got a say what they wanted on top and got to cut it after wards. Everyone loved it. It seemed to fill us up faster too. As you see the girls gave it a thumbs up and KC was side ways. He said the sauce was too sweet. Just more fun stuff to do together.

Your personal family Traditions for Christmas

Christmas time is coming and David and I decided to stay here in TX to have our own Christmas. To tell you the truth, I have no idea what to do. The tradition that I'm use to is started Christmas Eve with my moms side of the family. We get together to read the out of the Bible about Jesus birth. We all take turns reading. Then someone reads "The Night Before Christmas". Christmas morning my family (mom,dad,Ryan, Liz, us, and the kids) open our gifts at home and then move over to a family members home to have breakfast there and to spend time with each other. We also have a get together with David's side of the family too. I have loved this time with family and seeing everyone. This year we need to do our own thing, so I ask for some advise from you. What do you do if you do not have extended family around and have your own Christmas? I think we will still read out of the Bible and read "The Night Before Christmas".

I'm blessed to have my mom and dad to come for Thanksgiving. They will be leaving to come here on the 22nd. We will be having our own Christmas together on the 25th of November and celebrating my bday. We plan to leave to see my aunt and uncle in Llano on Wed. The kids are exited to have their grandparents coming. I think they like them.

Well, please let me know what I could do to make the Christmas day a little more memorable.

Thanks!!

college news

If you don't know I'm going to college to get my bachelors in Special Education. I have been working on my basics since fall of 2003, taking part time school. Right now I'm taking College Algebra and a Mass Media class. The Mass Media class is just papers after papers to write. She just gave us a calendar for the next month. I have 4 papers to write and then her final on December 4th. As for math, I have the final on that on December 11th (happy birthday to me), but I might be able to take it the day before.
So, I'm thinking of being crazy and taking a wintermester class for education. For spring I will be taking on a full load. Biology, part 2 of government (I did not want to take that this semester), and 2 education classes. Then guess what!! I start at A&M Commerce, I'm going to be an Aggie! Actually, David will be starting there next fall too, so two Aggies in the house! Yes, I am exited if you couldn't tell. Finally a University. David's company that he works for will be paying for his masters which is a great thing. He's not too exited, but wants to take opportunity since they are paying for it. Lets see, we will have a fifth grader, two fourth graders, a junior in college, and a guy starting his masters next fall.
Do you think education is important in our house? I think that its good for the kids to see that education is something that they need in their lives. Seeing their parents still in school, working hard, and that they have homework too. The kids are always asking "mom, is your homework done?" before I go out. Funny kids.
You know that this life is a whole learning experience and we will still be learning after we leave this life too. Gee, our brains are strong!

Today I have been playing around with this blog because it was so bland before. You have to thank my wonderful, helpful sister-in-law for showing me different things to do with it, so now its all pretty. Thank you Tiff!! David even has a say in this whole blog now too.

We had a GREAT Halloween!! David and I ran around most of the day. First, Dee Dee had a vet appt. Last time that we took her in the vet said that it would probably will take another month for a part of Dee Dee's leg to heal. The bit is in the top crease of her leg, so the stiches kept coming out and . . . it has been bad. We took her in yesterday and the Dr. said that she was shocked on how much it has closed up. We don't have to wrap it anymore, just more meds though for this week and then she might be done!! After that we went to vote, no waiting. After that David had his othro appt and more good news. David has been in braces, this Dec., for two yrs. The Dr. said that David can set up an appt to get the braces off the week before Thanksgiving. He is too exited. After that we just hung out with each other until we had to get home to the kids getting home from school. We desided to go to our wards halloween get together. We ate and truck-or-treated. I think the kids had fun. But before we left David had a great idea, "You and I should dress up too." I, for some reason, agreed.

Happy Halloween (Past)

Kolton is Obi-1-Kenoby (I think I spelt that right), Kaylea is Jenny and Bre is Hermonie from Harry Potter, David is a sight seer, and I am Destructinators fan. (Destructinator is a band that my cousin is a part of. Look them up on myspace) So we had fun. Today has been just a day of cleaning up the house and the yards, woho. Hope everyone had fun last night!
