Christmas 2008

As always our family is very blessed to have so many wonderful family members and great friends in our lives. We want to thank you all for blessing us with your love and friendship. The kiddos had a great Christmas and received more than needed. My mom was able to be with us these two holiday weeks and we were able to go play in the snow and also visit Six Flags-Discovery Kingdom's Holiday in the Park. Here are a few pics to share our Christmas time together.

Just Catchin' Up

Well as you can see it has been awhile since I have thought to update the blog. Well here goes... it is only a couple days before Christmas and I am already tired of Chloe asking me if it is Christmas yet. We have some presents under the tree already and she keeps bugging me to open them. I guess I would too if I were her age...I still sometimes want to open presents before it's time now...can't blame a girl for trying huh?

We have been doing well and super busy of course. We are now on the Christmas break for most thing snow so this break will be nice. My mom (Memaw) is flying in for a visit today and will be here till Jan. 2nd which will be nice to have her here for a little bit. We have a couple things planned so that should be fun. Chloe of course is super excited for Memaw to come visit.

The kids are getting bigger by the day. Chloe is already looking forward to her birthday in February and is planning it all out. Since Disney is giving a free park pass to the birthday person I think we were planning on going to Disneyland for her birthday. We will see how that planning goes. I am looking forward to visit and see Southern Cal. Noah is still just as cute and continues to wrap everyone around his little fingers. He is currently working on getting teeth number 13,14,15,16...yes all at the same time. He has been this walking drool machine just oozing with slim. He is catching on to the baby sign language that we have been using and knows several signs now. It is fun to see when he uses them and we know exactly what he wants. We did visit Santa this year and Chloe couldn't wait to tell all that she wanted...Noah on the other hand didn't want anything to do with him...note the pictures below...

Well I guess I should take a rest for now...I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Chloe's Big News

The most wonderful thing happened tonight on the way home from Wal-Mart.... Chloe prayed and asked Jesus into her heart!

She had a friend/neighbor who came over one day acouple months ago and said "The angels were dancing for her tonight becuase she had asked Jesus into her heart." Of course we were all very excited for her. Well on the way home tonight Chloe asked why the angels were dancing for her friend. So we of course told her why and then explained that we all sin (yes, even mommy and daddy sin) and that Jesus died for our sins and when we ask Jesus into our heart he saves us and all of our sins are forgiven. Well she then asked God for him to be in her heart and that he said "Yes!". So Eric prayed (I was driving) with Chloe and we are all excited now! What a great day and yes...the angels are dancing for Chloe right now~!!!

God Bless!

Trick or Treat 2008

Well we had a fun and exciting Halloween 2008. The kids went around base in a base office "parade" then that night we went to our base chapels fall harvest festival and then went to a few friends and neighbors homes. Basically the just of it all is there is way tooooo much candy in our house now. Chloe went as a yellow tabby cat and Noah was a little tiger. They were too cute for words of course.

Just havin' fun

Just wanted to post some pics of the kiddos just having fun together. It is amazing that we have now been in California a year now. Time sure does fly. ENjoy!

Turning 30...yikes!

Well yes it is true I offically turned 30...can you believe it??? I sure remember when I really thought 30 was old ...now look at me. Well as per my request for my 30th birthday I just wanted to spend time with my family and just have fun together. So I asked to go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (which is a little like Sea World). We actually have season passes and try to go once a month. I love going becuase we all have a great time and it always is just such a nice day together. So with that said here are some pics of us having fun. Chloe also was able to touch an opposum and we all go to touch an elephant. It was a good time had by all. We then stopped by Chevy's Tex-Mex for dinner on the way home.

Look at Noah GO!
