Santa came to visit

This past week, we had a knock on our door and it was Santa! He came to visit Amanda and little Kaitlyn. What a surprise! Amanda almost didn't know what to think. We asked if she wanted a picture of her with Santa and she ran in the other room. lol Then Roy told her that she needed to tell him what she wanted for Christmas and that Kaitlyn was getting her picture with Santa. So she came out and got her picture taken also. :)

Jessica's Christmas Choir Performance

Jessica had her school's Christmas choir performance! It has been always fun to see her little programs and the fun little songs they sing. Here is a picture of her with her group and a picture of her with her choir teachers.

Kaitlyn with eyes open

We haven't had any pictures posted with Kaitlyn with her eyes open. So we thought we would post a picture of her so all of you could see what she really looks like. :)

December 1st

Just to back up a bit, December 1st is my Mom's birthday. As a tradition, the family will get together and decorate a little tree on mom's grave. We don't have a headstone on her grave yet. I think Dad is waiting for his time to come and let us kids have one made for both of them.

Later in the evening, Roy, Amanda and I were able to decorate the little tree. It was a lot warmer outside than last year...we actually could sit on the grass! :) After decorating Mom's grave, we went over to Dad's and helped put up his Christmas Tree. It was a fun evening and lots of reminicing. :)

Kaitlyn Marie is here! :)

We are proud to announce that Kaitlyn Marie was born on Friday, December 5 at 6:57 p.m. She was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 19.5 inches long! She is a cutie and she has a good combination of both Roy and I. Amanda has been pretty excited to have a little sister! :) Here are a few pictures from the hospital.

Roy's Birthday!

Roy's Birthday was on November 4! It was quite an exciting day! He received a candy bar poster from some older ladies who are around his parents age at the gym and then gave him movie tickets for our date night. :) Then he also received some gifts from family and neighbors. I didn't even have to make a cake! We had a apple pie made for us, so we used that for his birthday cake. :) This will be a good year for Roy and many happy days to come! Happy Birthday My Sweetie!

Halloween 2008

Well, we had a fun Halloween. Roy went out with the kids treat-or-treating, while I stayed home to pass out candy. It was fun to see Amanda's excitement just dressing up and getting candy. In the photo from left to right: Amanda (Curious George or in Amanda's words "George the Monkey"), Ammon (Janga Fett - Star Wars Character), and Jessica (a cute little witch).
