Cousins

The "little" boy cousins like to hang all over Courtney.

Courtney and her "little" cousins...they like to play with her cell phone.

Dawson and Courtney are "buds"...she likes to snuggle with him.....and Mitchell is trying to get in on the action.

New Tradition

I wanted to start a new tradition at my family Christmas this year. So....I bought a gingerbread house kit and had my kids and my niece and nephews all make one together. Nikki, Jeremy, Courtney, Nolan, Mitchell and the finished "house"!

The even got Grandma involved!

Where is Jeremy? Mitchell was on top of it and made sure everyone helped.

Mitchell had a great time! We let him mix the icing with an electric mixer and he thought that was pretty great. I didn't get a picture of it though because I was helping him at the time.



Next year I might buy one for the girls and one for the boys and make a contest out of it.

Christmas Sling!

Chad had a little mishap on Tuesday and I ended up rushing him to the clinic for x-rays. They cannot find a fracture (even had the specialist look at the x-rays) so they think he tore a tendon in his bicep. So......he is in a sling for awhile. The kids and I have been doing the cattle chores and it is driving him nuts to just sit still and watch. I have feeling I will be taking him back in next week because it doesn't seem to be getting better at all and he is still in quite a bit of pain. Oh well, it could have been much worse!

Merry Christmas

May we all remember the true reason for the holiday and celebrate the birth of our Savior....Jesus! Merry Christmas to you all!

Basketball Pictures

The boys and girls basketball teams had a double-header with Deubrook on Tuesday night. Courtney's boyfriend Ben is from Deubrook so we got to see him play too.

Courtney #14


Courtney on defense.

Courtney sang the National Anthem with Amber right before the games. She is hidden behind Amber but you can kinda see her.

Her team won again on Friday (now 4-0) and play away tomorrow night.

Boring!

I have been pretty boring lately, I know! Nothing extremely exciting going on around here.

Courtney has had 4 games now and her team has won all 4....yeah.

I have been busy selling cookbooks and other fundraisers for this years Prom (the Junior class parents are always in charge of that).

Jeremy is taking finals this week so he has been back and forth a few times. He gets bored not having class so he comes home to help out here.

My poor pigs are sick so I have been spending alot of time with them. I don't know what is worse, sick kids or sick pigs!!

All the Christmas gifts are bought and wrapped and I have all the fixin's for Christmas dinner bought but I still need to do some more baking.

And......I really need to get my house cleaned!
