Odds 'n' Ends to 2007





As the year comes to an end I thought I would display our crazy family doings. Andrew made a Ginger Bread House with the little boys and Jilliann...that was fun! I am not sure who yelled more, Andrew at the boys to not eat it or the boys at Andrew because he wouldn't let them eat it. Andrew thought he would get them to wait until after Christmas but it was gone before dinner!
Even though it is winter Christian cant seem to keep his clothes on. Instead of getting dressed to go outside and jump on the trampoline he just brings out a huge blanket and jumps wrapped in that. I suppose he is pretty smart. I just don't understand what is wrong with wearing clothes!!
Jilliann gives new meaning to "Bareback"...doesn't Kodiak look thrilled.
And finally, here is Jilliann escaping out the dog door. She has now discovered that she can climb out the dog door and be free to play in the backyard. Don't worry...the pool area is safely locked and she cannot get in there...but she does enjoy jumping on the trampoline and playing with all the toys outback. She figures if it is good enough for the dog and cat it is good enough for her!!

Tis the Season!




'Tis the season for lots of adventures. December is such a busy month with all the things that go on but the best thing of all is our anniversary. Whoo...we made it to 12 years. I am not sure how but we have managed to stay relatively blissful and happy. After all these years, the ups and downs, the hard times and the amazing times...John is still my #1. We had a romantic dinner then snuggled with Starbucks coffee at the Country Club in a cozy chair for 2. It was nice. It is mind-blowing to think we can find contentment and true peace amidst all this chaos but we do. We even manage some "alone" time...as long as we make sure the door is locked and the kids are sleeping.
