Putting up the lights - 11/30/08

The lights are going up! Sooner than I can ever remember Brad putting them up. It is very fun to have him excited about putting lights up. I am going to try to get a nighttime picture when it is all said and done. The best part about all these pictures are the Santa Hats that Brad and Hunter are wearing. They did this as a surprise. The twins and I were napping and when we woke up - they were outside working on the lights. I was delighted to see them in the Santa hats. I love it when my husband is in the Christmas spirit.
Snowflake light

Dad's little helpers. I know - can you believe I let them climb on the ladder! Must be getting less cautious in my old age.

Dad and Sam put one of the two snowmen lights together.

Had to put this in here. It is SO cute. This is Tucker's new smile - whenever you ask him to smile for a picture - this is what you get!!

Love the "Brotherly Love"

Hunter and Tucker putting #2 Snowman together.

Brad and Hunter in their Santa Caps!! Love 'Em!

Here is a picture of the house with lights and snow - taken on 12/20/08.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Family and Friends. We hope you all enjoy your day! We are so Thankful for our loving Family and Friends. Sorry there are no pictures. We had a "Jammie" day today. I am sick, as well as Tucker. Didn't really get off the couch much. Brad was a gem and cooked a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner for us. We hope you all had a Great Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day Feast at School for the Twins

The K-3 through K-5 classes celebrated Thanksgiving today with a Feast. All the children were dressed as Indians, and the Teachers were dressed as Pilgrims. Very Cute! If you look back we did this last year too!

Here are some fun pictures. And Samantha and Tucker had 2 special guests. Grandpa and Grandma Weg are here visiting for their birthday, so they went along to the feast too!

Tucker - and note - He cut the leaves out for his headband, and placed everything on it himself. This is a HUGE accomplishment for him.

My beautiful Indian Princess - Samantha.

Our Special Guests - Grandpa and Grandma Weg

3 days and we will be 6 Years Old!

Samantha - a day old.

Tucker - a day old.

Tucker, Sam, Dad, adn Hunter - Twins were 8 days old.

Samantha and Tucker - 6 weeks old.

So hard to believe these two are going to be 6 years old in a couple of days. I can hardly recall the time when they were born. I look at these pictures and weep - for my babies were so tiny, so small and so little. They were amazing little troopers - and ever so healthy! I am so grateful to God for these two angel babies.

I will post on Friday pictures of them now at 6 years old!

Time does fly - for all you mom's with little tiny ones - hold on to every moment - it goes so quickly.

Happy Halloween and Trick or Treating

Sam - the Fairy Princess.

Hunter - Darth Vader!

Tucker - Larry the Cucumber.

Happy Halloween everyone.

And they are off to Trick or Treat! The weather was great - 62 degrees and barely a breeze.

Look at all the Loot!

The kids had a good time - not a lot of Trick or Treaters out this year. And, I think Hunter is done with Trick or Treating, or at least he said he was this year. We'll see when next year rolls around.

Hope everyone had a fun time on Halloween!

Pumpkin Carvings and Happy Halloween!

Tucker cleaning out the Pumpkin - Last year he did not want to do this. He thought it was Yucky!

This year, he asked to do it and all he said is "My hands dirty"! And, even with a smile!

Notice the Power Tool! Brad decided to get smarter this year with his carving. Hunter working on his Frankenstein design.

Sam is making sure Daddy is doing it right.

Tucker did not like the Noice of the Power Saw - see the hands over his ears. Shortly hereafter, he went to his room, closed the door and watched a movie.

This is one of the best parts of carving pumpkins.

ALL THE SEEDS! YUMMY!

Tucker and his Lion Pumpkin.

Hunter, Chillin with Mr. Frank!

Sammy with Ms. Kitty!

Happy Halloween!

Curly Que - I Love You!

Sam is so into her hair lately. I find her in front of the mirror often "fixing" her hair. Her new thing is to have it very curly. So we invested in some foam rollers, and she is wanting her hair rolled nightly. I have it down to about 1/2 hour, although it dosen't happen nightly. However, with this glow of happiness, how could I say no.

Back view

Ta-Da! What beautiful results. She loves it!! So adorable.


I wished my hair looked this great. With her birthday soon approaching, it is all about looking like a six year old. She told me just this morning that with her curly hair she looks like a big 6 year old, and when she turns 6 she can do this all by herself.

Curly Que - I love you!!

Touchdown!

Saturday was Hunter's last football game for the season. And...............he caught a pass and ran a 60 yard touchdown in the last few minutes of the game. I was so proud!! What an exciting thing for him. This will help his self-confidence so much! I still see him running with all he had, and there was a guy on his tail - I just kept saying, "run baby run". Yeah!!

Jerome High School Homecoming Parade

The parade has just begun.

Sam just saw us, and what you don't see is that there are 3 big horses right behind these guys. That stressed out Sam big time. She was a little scared the whole parade of the horses. (So was I, but I didn't tell her that)

She is so...............cute. And notice the curled hair. She had to have her hair "done" for this one! She loved this costume too!

Such a big girl!

After the parade, Sammy decided that she did not want to quit dance afterall. We will see when Tuesday rolls around and it is time to go to dance class.

Teacher Conferences and Report Cards

Hunter's Report card - Awesome! The Teacher had a great report to give on Hunter. He is doing really well.

Tucker's Report Card - I love his teacher. She is so "in-tune" to him and what will work the best for him. She is also so willing to adapt her teaching to him. We are so blessed and so grateful to have her and this school. On the majority of developments, he is right at grade level. Praise God for this!

Samantha's Report Card - Sam's teacher just raved about how well Sam is doing and what a "good, obedient, respectful" girl that she is in class. She is also excelling higher than her peers. Awesome Job, Miss Samantha.
