Just posting some pictures from Christmas. Yes, I'm on Christmas break and still can't manage to blog more often. Christmas was nice. We were in Paris for a few days. And then in Salado Christmas Eve and back at our house Christmas Day. It was nice seeing family but not so nice all of us being sick with the throw up bug again the entire time, oh well, that's life right???

What a great weekend!!!

To start things off, Saturday, Jason went to work as usual. The boys and I slept in until almost 10 am....that's right friends, I said 10 am!!!! It was wonderful to be able to do that and not feel guilty for doing so. We made a quick run to W-M for some baking items. Then....we came home and made our annual batch of Christmas cut out sugar cookies. It was SOOOOO much fun to make a mess in the kitchen and see Keagan and Kason have so much fun.

After making our cookies and decorating them, Keagan went to his friend, Johnathan's house and played for pretty much the rest of the afternoon. Kason napped the whole time Keagan was gone and Mommy made her first batch of party mix. I really enjoyed it. My mom always makes this party mix usually around the holidays but sometimes during the year. But anyway, for my first time it was REALLY good. Jason, the boys and I have been munching on it continuously since it was finished!!! Christmas time is so much fun!!!!

Saturday evening me and the boys picked Jason up from work and headed to Waco to watch our good ole' Baylor Bears play basketball. Before the game we met our friends Chris, Preston, and Caprice for supper at Chic fil A. It was so much fun getting to see them again although we did miss Wendi who was working Sat. night.
The boys did great all through the game. They actually were able to meet Bruiser Bear up close and personal. Keagan thought that was pretty cool but Kason decided he loved Bruiser from a distance and not so much up close. I was so sad I didn't even think of taking my camera for the game.

Just a little update, not pictures but a better post to come soon with picts. Just wanted to let all know that yes, we are still here, alive and breathing!!:) After a bout with pneumonia for Keagan, and a terribly stuffy head and nasty cough from Kason and many LATE nights of studying for finals, I can say, Yes we've survived!!! Wahoo!!!!!! I took my last final today and already know my grades and can say I am very pleased!! I will advise anybody out there thinking of going back to school, DON'T...whatevery you do DON'T take 2 science classes together!!!! I know God was with me helping me every step of the way. One morning that I had a final I woke up late. I was going to try to get up early and study before class so when I woke up my feet hit the floor running, then all of a sudden I felt this calmness and just like a whisper in my ear that said "it's going to be ok," I got to school and got 3 test grades back from the previous days classes and all 3 were just as good or better than I had had all semester. Then the final I had that day I made the best grade I had made all semester. So, all that to say, I know I couldn't have made it without prayers of my friends and family, I truly felt them!!!!! Thanks to everybody that is supporting me in this journey!!!!! Love you all!!!

Yes, I'm running about a week behind on here but, oh well. I'll post anyway.
My parents came down to visit last weekend. We stayed very busy and had a fun time spending time with them. The weather was wonderful so we enjoyed a picnic lunch at the lake on Saturday then Saturday night we gave in to Keagan and went bowling. It was a lot of fun and Keagan actually did very well. He beat me!!! Kason also really enjoyed the bowling and believe it or not, he got a strike himself!!!!! Enjoy the picts!!!!

As many of you know Jason's dad raises miniature donkeys. Well they actually take them and show them at donkey shows. They have gotten Keagan into this donkey showing thing and he really likes it. This past weekend there was a donkey show. Kason and I drove a couple of hours on Saturday so we could see the costume show. It was a riot. They actually dress the donkeys up as well. Some people were very creative. I just say....whatever floats your boat!!! I always tell Pop and Gram I'm trying my hardest to not let Kason be a cowboy and they just laugh at me. I know, I know he'll probably be out there showing with Keagan one day. As long as that's what makes them happy I guess I'm ok with it. Enjoy the pictures!!!

We headed out just a little bit early to do our trick or treating, it was still light outside but it was nice to be finished early as well....I will have to say that I think Kason did better than Keagan. Not sure what was going on with Keagan but he got tired very quick and was ready to come home before even going around an entire block!! I was really surprised at that. Both boys faired pretty well candy wise. We are set for another year in our treat bucket if not longer!! Our neighbors were too generous!!:)

The kids in their costumes plus our friends Johnathan and Jessica

I'm tired, can we please go home so I can eat my candy?


Mmmmmm.......

Keagan's class at school took a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Of course, Kason and I went along as well. We had a fun time.

Kason had fun with the pumpkins seeing how many of them he could throw like a ball:)




Keagan and his best friend from school, Rocco.




Keagan and Jason camped out in the backyard last Saturday. Keagan loves camping and couldn't wait. He told Jason at about 8:00 he was ready to go to bed. Which, if you know us very well, that's very early for him to want to go to bed. He just couldn't wait to get into the tent he didn't really want to go to sleep. I think they had a really fun time, talking, looking at the stars, and playing dominoes.
