Merry Christmas To You!!

Okay so all the kids are getting to that age where they start to question Santa...well I wouldn't have it this year. Let the children go as long as they can believing. So on Christmas Eve Emma was the only one in the house. I was tring all night to get her to go to sleep. It was after midnight and I decided to go and lay down with her. All of a sudden we heard something like hooves on our tin roof. Then we heard a bell, then a HO HO HO!! Emma Jane looked at me and said "He really does exist! I am so going to tell Sherley Santa came to my house!!" I kissed her on her forehead, then tucked her in nice and tight. With tears in my eyes I walked out into the living room as Chris was walking into the house. Chris looked at Emma and told her that he was told by Santa to go to sleep so she could get her gifts. Emma passed out within 5 minutes. On Christmas morning she awoke to all the presents under the tree...Santa came, Santa came!! Knowing that she had to wait till her brother and sisters got there she got to open one present and her stocking. She was in heaven!! When Alex, Lacey and Katey got there the fun really began. I watched them tear into their presents and my eyes filled with tears. It was the most wonderful thing to watch. I got to see my 4 children go ballistic over the littlest things and it made me smile. I think this was the most wonderful Christmas I could have ever had. We didn't have a lot of money to get a lot of stuff, but they were all very happy about what they did get. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful family!! PS Pictures will be posted real soon...promise!

Happy Birthday Al!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRHTDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRHTDAY DEAR ALEX! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!! I love you with all my heart and soul. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and get everything that your heart desires.

Merry Christmas

I don't know when I'm going to be able to write a blog before Christmas, so here I go. I just wanted all my loved ones to know how special everyone is to me. I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful holiday and new year.

Happy Happy Vacation

Okay so Fort Rapids Indoor water park ROCKS!! The slides are amazing and the hotel is beautiful. Lacey hung out with her siblings the whole time. She concerned her fears and went down slides. Alex was my little trooper, he was the most extreme out of us all. He went down every slide including the Black Hole (I couldn't even scream on this slide). Katey had fun with Alex going down the slides and playing wating for the bucket of water to fall on her. Emma learned a few moves in the water. Have you ever seen Ice age the Meltdown....if you have you'll understand what I'm about to say. I told Emma to attack the water. The water is her pray. And she did it. She was swimming. She went under water for about 3 seconds and was so proud of herself. As were all of us. We all had a blast. We went to the restaurant and had dinner. Went to the arcade and spent most of the money. We also let each child have about 25 dollars to spend at the gift shop. When we got to the room on Saturday night we got to watch Shreck the Third, ordered pizza and jumped from one bed to the other. I wish I got a picture of the kids faces when I walked in and saw them jumping...I just looking at them and showed them how to do it right. Mom's need some fun too! LOL Thier faces were priceless. Even Chris was amazed that I let everyone go crazy. It's a vactions people, have some fun!! And everyone did. Every one had a wonderful time and would love to go again. I will soon put up pictures (I hope) to show off our fun. I loved this little vacation and very grateful that we could go on our very first FAMILY vacation!!
