Gingerbread Houses

The kids and I made gingerbread houses at Grandma Bird's. Curt Ryan loved his house! Caycee loved eating the frosting off her cookie.

Update

I feel like we are finally on our way to summer!! Warmer weather is finally on its way. It has been a long time since I feel like I have been on my blog and I need to do a better job at updating. I've looked at so many people's blog who have turned them into a book and decided I would like to do that, but I need some posts so I have something to put into the book. I do enjoy reading everyone else's happenings and feel like it is such a good way to keep in touch and find out what is happening in friends and families lives when things get so busy

We have been busy as well. I've been working on my garden and in my yard. Phil has just put me in another garden plot and I have planted raspberrie. He also gave me a garden shed this spring so I've been busy painting it and working on the inside to get my things all organized. My garden is growing and I love to be outside. He also planted me a mini orchard. I have 14 fruit trees and can't wait for them to grow and produce. I do have a wonderful husband who is so good to me and the kids, I really do appreciate him.

The kids are growing and Cacyee is now walking everywhere. She is such a girl, gets so mad and pouts when she doesn't get her way. CRC is growing so fast to and knows everthing and is only 4 (well almost). I love being a Mom but I get stressed and struggle and worry if i'm going to ruin my kids, but I'm glad they are forgiving. I do need to post some pictues, but the one of CRC above is the only one I have that is kinda recent that is on my computer. Krista my wonderful sister just took our family pictures so I'll have some more pictures to post soon. My sister's husband Taylor just got a job down south so they are moving to Monticello in the next month and I am really going to miss having her around!!

Well that is all for now, but I really am going to do a better job at posting, my bad grammer and all.

Merry Christmas!!

We have had a wonderful year. Phil has had many, many successful hunts this year and has had another busy year. He has broke many horses this summer, built a barn and wood shed, helped with the kids, and of course gone hunting. He has been so good to help with the kids. CRC loves Phil and is a mini Phil. He loves to go with him and do whatever it is Phil is doing. I love to watch them together they have such a great relationship. Now is is lion chasing season so we'll see what other neat pictures Phil will bring home to show us.

I have been busy with kids this year. I went back to work in October and am working 3 days a week for about 15 hours a week. In my spare time I have been sewing a little bit and making a few things. It has been a lot of fun. Recently I was able to put some things I made in a booth with Joan and Erin to sell. It was a lot of fun. I love working in the yard in the summer, but right now most of my time is spent with the kids. I love being a mom and love my kids and husband. Phil and I celebrated our 7th anniversary this year. 7 years has really flown by and I'm looking forward to many more!!!

CRC is one busy boy and one little smartie pants!! He knows everything and is such a mini Phil. He comes up with some of the funniest things. He loves cars and big trucks. He loves guns and pretends to shoot everything. He loves to be outside with the animals and helping Phil. He is so tenderhearted and such a good little boy. He is so full of enery and we wouldn't have him any other way.

Out little sis is such an angel. She is wonderful baby and such a great addition to our family. She is growing so fast. She smiles, and laughs and is trying to roll over. She always wants to be up and see what is going on, just like her brother! She loves to watch her brother and he can really get her to smile.

I love this time of year. I love to cozy next to the fire on a snowy day!! I'm so thankful for family and friends. We love you all and Wish you a Merry Christmas!!
