Happy 2012

We have had a great first week of 2012. Hunter went back to school and I'm pretty sure he was happy to see all of his friends.

2011 was a good year,I don't think anything happened that I can complain about. We welcomed our nephew in April and celebrated lots of milestones for both kids. Harper got a great report from the cardiologist and we are giving God all the glory for her health! We did lose our sweet dog Haley to a snake bite and we miss her everyday, we have gotten a new puppy and love her alot! So heres to a great 2012! As long as I have my precious family by my side I'm happy!

I have learned that dwelling on the negative things in life do nothing but cause more pain and worry, focus on letting go and letting God is a great way to start a new year!

Here are some pictures of our new year!

Christmas Day

Ok let me just start this post with saying that I feel like the worst mom ever...the kids woke up at 7:30am on Christmas Day and my camera was in the car, I didn't want to miss a moment of them opening gifts so I just used the video camera instead...I KNOW I KNOW! I feel so bad but I do have it on video and in my mind..so thats all that matters. They were so excited to see what santa brought. Hunter got, clothes,basketball shoes,new dvd player for the car,movie,ds and wii games,baseball glove and baseballs,rolling suitcase with his name on it,lego holder for all of his legos,itunes card. Harper got, barbies,innotab,rain boots,tricycle,dressup clothes,movie,new dvd player for the car,pjs,princess suitcase. I know it seems like HG got more but Hunter got an Ipod touch for his Birthday in September from us and a 3ds from my parents so there really wasn't much he asked for. I was sick with a cold and felt horrible so after opening gifts and playing for a while Mike watched the kids and let me take a nap...after my nap we all got ready and headed to my mom's parents for our annual Christmas Party!

We are so grateful for all of our family and the time we get to spend with them. Every year I look forward to going to both sets of my grandparents on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...its always been that way and I hope my kids will have great memories with their grandparents like I do!
                                                    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve since I was little we have always went to my dads parent's house, so we go there for lunch and then back to Mike's parents for dinner. My grandmom always cooks some great food! We enjoy spending time with my aunt,uncle,cousins,and great-grandmother also! We headed back to Mike's parents that evening and the kids enjoyed opening gifts and playing with their cousins. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Hunter's Class Party 12/16/11

Hunter had his class party on 12/16. They had done lots of crafts that week so we got to see those and they enjoyed hotdogs and lots of sweets! Each child brought a gift and they exchanged gifts at the end of the party! I love his teacher and all of the kids in his class are so sweet!
