Hair Cut

Well I did it...I cut Lindys hair. We love her hair its so long and curly, BUT it is very thin and is extreamly tangly. She hates to have me comb it and usually cries the whole time. So today we finally gave in and cut it. Is her 1st haircut. I put it in a pony tail and seriously felt sick as I cut it off. I cut off 5 inchs!!! It looks very cute though and shes so happy cuz now she has hair like Aubs! One of her bestest friends. I think it even makes her look older. My baby is growing up!

A Different Thanksgiving.

This year for thanksgiving we went to Flagstaff AZ. A good friend of the family
(Jasons moms best friend Debbie Perry and her husband), invited our family and Jasons sisters family to go to the "Little America" Hotel. That is where they go every year and love it. We were very excited to do something different this year and to be celebrating Thanksgiving with such special friends. The Hotel was beautiful and they put on the biggest and most delicious Dinner ever! We felt so spoiled !!! We stayed for two days and took in some of the sites in the area. We went to the Lowell Observitory. The train station, 125 trains pass through that station everyday! And put pennies on the tracks, the kids loved that. Ate at several very neat places. One was an old saloon style place Black Barts, that the waiters sing and put on shows in between serving you. We had a great time. And we're very thankful to have such loving and great friend to of shared the holiday with.

Getting ready for Christmas

Christmas is a BIG deal at our house. We usually decorate the day after Thanksgiving every year and enjoy the decorations all December.This year we put them up a little early since were going out of town for Thanksgiving. The kids decorated "the kid tree", down stars it turned out really cute as always. Then we decorated the rest of the living room and the kitchen and dinning area. I also put grammie Lynns tree together up stairs. We put out the blow ups out front (froze our buts off!!! ) and some of the lawn ordernments. Daddy will have to put the ones on the roof though. But its starting to look very christmasish and colorfull with what we have out. Cant wait to have some parties with friends and then family on christmas eve. Then ofcourse christmas morning. Jason always spoils the kids and goes all out, since he didnt have santa when he was little! My favorite is the stocking!!!

This is a Nativity Scene that Jasons mom, Lynn had painted. Shes had it for years and now that she is gone I am proud to add it to my colections of christmas decorations.

Here is a Angel Lynn painted, and the angel and mini village the kids used to love to play with at her house. Along with a candle center piece that we picked out together. It was the year she decided to get ALL NEW christmas decorations. She was crazy like that. We had such a good time picking everything out at her favorite store TJ Max. Every year we would shop for christmas together like crazy. Nobody could out shop Lynn, and she spoiled us all like no other! I miss Lynn everyday But christmas makes it all the more apparent that shes gone. Christmas just wont ever be the same again...But atleast I have all the wonderful memories and some of the decorations to help remind me.

And I couldnt leave out the tree. She had this huge tree and I always dreaded putting it together for Lynn. It is fake and had a milllion branchs that scratch you. But still every year I put it together for her, decorations and all. It made her so happy. I remember the Angel had to be just right. after fixing it over and over she'd finally be pleased. This year I put it up just to rember her, I think iwill every year. I just think its funny that I used to dread it and now I do it on my own accord! I have to mention that 1/2 the decorations got ruin over the summer by mold! I dont know how they got wet but they did. I was so bummed! She had a ton of the most beautiful victorian decorations. I was able to save a handfull and I decorated as best I could. I looks so nice and is a warm reminder of Christmas at Grammies

Oh.. and here is the village that I also inherited from Lynn. I used to always put it up for her also. Its so cute and looks so neat all lit up.

We babysat the Lybrooks kids the other night to so they could go watch Twilight. The kids all had fun they watched WALLE, and played up in the toy room. Little Bryn must have been tired cuz she wanted me to lay with her in sissys room and watch a movie. So since all the other kids were busy having fun I enjoyed laying with and loving on her. She was being so sweet. I tickeled her back and her eyes would roll back, she was sleepy. She so tiny. I miss having a tiny one around like her!
Of course Rascall had to be right in the middle. But Bryn was loving that too!

Oh no...

... I think Sis has found a "model" to try her fashion experiments on.
Lets just do a quick once over...Fluffy tasel slippies, Robe tie, tie! and a mismatched pair of socks as gloves. Shell need alot more practice if she wants to see her name in lights!!!! :)
Same robe tie but in a bow ofcourse since shes a girl!

Maybe not... Looks like shes going for the traditional tie look here! And Im sure the pot holder has some purpose!?

A Beautiful Fall Day For Family Photos

We had our Family pictures done this October by a long time friend of the family, Tosha Inman. Shes such a sweetie and she always does a great job. It had been tradition to have our family pictures done at christmas in the past. We would all go to Grammie Lynns, her house was always decorated so beautiful and all the rest of the family would be there too! But as you know Grammie wont be here this christmas except in our hearts. So we decided to do it differently this year. Jason and I have always loved fall. Haden was born on the first day of fall in 2002, and we thought it would be a nice change of sceanery. We had a great time getting them taken . It was a beautiful day down by the river at Burg Park. So anyways heres your peek I will send out copies soon. :)

Oops she did it again!

I was cleaning out Lindys closet and came across her floaty suit. Its a padded suit that helps your little one in the water to stay afloat. Anyways sis saw it and decided to wear it. Now its been the thing to wear for a few days now. Shell wear it all day. She crazy! Her friend Aubry was over today and she said "wow sis you look tuff in that", I guess cuz the padding maybe it looks like muscles!? Funny! Anyways here is another picture to add to the album of sissys crazy getups! LOL
Tights...The Floatsuit, and a Sock hat! Dont ask me! Check out the pose!

Some of you may know that "Papa" (my dad), Is staying with us for a little while. We have plenty of room and are enjoying his company. The kids love when hes home ,cuz they mess around with him constantly! They have a good time together. Its good to see them bonding. Friday Haden had a halloween parade at his school, so I went to help out and papa watched Sis and Trea for me. They had planned to make tortilla and beans while I was gone. The kids LOVE making tortillas with Papa, and eating them even more! Anyways here are a few pictures I took of Papa teaching Trea to clean the beans. I love to think of Papa sitting at the table with Grandma Nita back in the day learning the same thing! Im glad to see the passing down from one generation to another :)


Getting a lesson. Look at that smile. hes haivng such a good time with his Papa!

Happy Halloween !!!

We had a good time. All the kids always love sressing up! Jordan changed his mind afew times but ended up being a skelton guy. We got this spray for his hair that was glow in the dark then after I had sprayed it double time all over his head I read the can and in big print it said not for hair or skin...OOOPS !!! He survived ! Haden was the Grim reeper, minus the big scary knife thing! Trea was a cute little cowboy. We've had the costume a while all the boys have been it at one time, so I thought that was neat! And Lindy was a "Nice"witch. We had a blast putting all the costumes together. Nana came to see the costumes and walked around with us while we trick or treated. Im glad it wasnt freezing.

If theres a camera...Shes gotta pose!

Then we went to go meet some of our good friends at their church for trunk or treating. It was fun too, and nice to get the kids together and see thier costumes. everyone was sooo cute!
Check out little Miss Bryn Lybrook..."Pumkin"! Cal is in the backround scary movie guy

An Sis with her good friend Aubry. What cutie girls!

The Night before Halloween, and all through the house...

The night before Halloween we did our pumkins. It was fun we did a total of 8 pumkins and put them in the front window, as we do every year! The kids always love getting pumkin guts all over themselves, and jason and I had "loads" of fun too. Since we are mostly the ones to get all that junk out! So I thought Id share a few pictures of our fun jackOlantern carving night.
