Cole and his friend Luke.
They had just finished their
preschool Christmas program.

Sam will love this picture when he is a little bit older.

The kids had fun telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Especially Sam!

We were able to get most of my family together for a photo before Richard(my youngest brother) leaves for Iraq Dec.8th. (He's the one in the yellow)

My Baby is 1 year old! Man, time flys! We had fun celebrating Sam's birthday. All his cousins were there to make a big deal out of it. He had no idea what was going on.

We had a fun halloween. Jake was the red spiderman, Max was the black spiderman, Cole was the ninja turtle, and Sam was the spider. We had fun at grandma and Grandpa's family night party. All the kids got to dress up and dress up their pumpkins.

My BIG boy! I can't believe he's almost a year. How time flys!

October break camping trip. We had fun camping with our friends The Whipples.

Max's 6th birthday

I realized that I never posted this picture. This is what the house looks like now. We are starting the landscaping this week. So it will look a bit different in a little while.

So what do you think? I slaved over this for hours! I only wish I could say that I did it. I owe all the glory to my great sister-in-law Mikelle Bailey. She came to my house and did it all. Thanks a bunch Miki. I love it!

Cole had fun digging in the sand, he also went way out into the water with mom.
