I guess they will share when it is worth it!

I caught Reygann and Brody getting along the other day, it is so rare that I had to get my camera!

I'm not sure who got there first, but they were sitting at the table eating a snack (see it in their hands? They just had to take it with them!), and the heat kicked on and they both sat on the register to warm up!

Woah! She's putting her arm around him! You-Know-Where must be freezing over right now! It's cold, but I didn't think it was that cold!

Even Brody is in disbelief!

Kylie had to get in on the action too

I can't wait till they all love each other all the time!

Surprise!

When I was making dinner last night I got a fun little surprise when I was cutting my red pepper. I saw something green in the top when I cut it off, I thought it was odd and took a closer look and this is what I found!

Very strange! (Yes, I just blogged about an impregnated pepper. I haven't had time to go through my pictures yet! Hopefully soon.)

Merry Christmas!

It's hard to believe

...but this is where we were a year ago today!

I can't help it

I love, Love, LOVE this picture of Reygann! I keep opening it up and staring it at, I just can't help myself. (You can see Kylie and Brody's here.)

Playing in the Snow

Yes Devin, they did play in the snow. I tried to get out of it, but Daddy made me come too! I didn't last long though!

After 2 hours the kids were finally bundled up and ready to play! Don't you love how he is a mish-mash of pieces? Blue snow pants, black and grey coat, green froggie rain boots, and pink mittens!

The girls weren't much better, but Brody took the cake as worse dressed!

Since daddy insisted that I come out too I made him take the camera while I got dressed myself.

Of course they had to make snow angels!

Doesn't he look thrilled?

He put the camera in the garage and I picked it up on my way out. I thought they were all cute playing there together...

Kylie was pretending to be a snow plow, yes folks a Snow Plow!

Of course Reygann wanted to be like her big sister, so she played snow plow too.

Brody was standing there crying! He hated being in the snow!

See? He HATES it! We tried getting him to like it with no luck. Daddy and the girls tried to make a snowman, but the snow wasn't right and it didn't work so well.

This is what we ended up with. And it is that tiny! After that Brody was still freaking out so I got to take him in! YESSS!!! Daddy followed a few minutes later and we let the girls stay out. They were out there FOREVER. They even saw the neighbor out and went over there and helped shovel their deck. Reygann being the bold thing she is asked if she could have a popsicle! (They would give them popsicles when they would come over in the summer.) They didn't give her one, but they gave them 3 packs of fruit snacks though. The Huge packs, not the little ones. It was really sweet that they gave one for Brody too. We have great neighbors!

This is Kindergarten Homework?

These are kinda hard to read, sorry.

Not too bad, Kylie did it all herself in no time at all. Except one...

This one stumped us! Any guesses what the correct answer is?

Our Christmas Pictures

It's here!

Our drywall is here!! It was delivered at the end of last week.

Brody was very interested in what was going on.

Bringing it in

Watching the guy unload the drywall.


After watching for a while, we moved over to the window and watched them use the boom. We eventually went into the old house and moved to my bedroom window and watched the truck right on the other side of the porch, it was so close we could almost touch it! Kinda like our house it is so close (to being finished) I can almost touch it!

Getting Started

Aaahhhhh!! We're starting!!

The first bit of glue going up!

The first sheet is in place and he's screwing it in

It's kinda hard to see, but the yellow thing is a drywall lift we rented. It was SO nice! Granted we (Deric and I) still had to lift the 12 foot long sheets onto the lift!

We had to take the baby gate down so we could pivot the sheets. Brody noticed and came in to help us.

I sent him out to get shoes on, and he came back wearing Regyanns sparkly shoes!

Working on the house in his fancy shoes

Daddy had to go out to the barn, so I got Brody dressed. And he went to town climbing on the walls in the house, it was much easier to do wearing his own shoes!

Kylie came in and showed off her climbing skills.

Reygann was pouting because she wanted to too, but was too scared.

With a little reassurance I convinced her to give it a try even if she was scared. And she did it! She even got down on her own, I stood there in case she fell but she did great.

Even Frankie came over for a minute... but he wasn't thrilled and turned tail and was gone.

We got all the ceilings done in one afternoon. We actually got them done quick enough that we took the kids to the live Nativity at a local Church and then went to the Saturday night service at our Church so we could work on the house more on Sunday.
