Heading to the Cabin.....

We are going to the cabin today (we hope to get out of town today)....  So we hope everybody has a very wonderful and safe holiday...  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!  

All the FUN things we get to do!!!

It finally snowed here.....  Saturday night we got a little snow then Sunday it snowed pretty much the entire day....  Its still snowing.  The kids have waited for a white christmas and I think we are going to get it.  We went to Mary's for Snowball Soup and let the kids play around in the snow....  Ashton was so excited to just walk around in it.  

Kylee and Kylie

Josh and Ashton -- Ashton loved eating the snow

Are these girls to old to be sitting on Santa's lap????  No Way...  Your never to old to stop believing......  What did Kylee ask for ---  Ipod  ---  phone with texting (in her dreams)

Josh asked Santa for a Scooter and Drum Set

Ashton asked for a skate board (which he has but i guess we could wrap it up again) and a motorcycle.  

He was so excited to see Santa walk in the door.  

Ashton made a Ginger Bread House at preschool on Thursday.  He did a very good job.....

Think his favorite part was licking all the frosting.

We made sugar cookies on Monday for Family night and had lots of fun frosting them  (at least the kids did).......   Everyone was very eager to make the perfect cookie...  We took a plate to Mary's house just so they could go caroling....  They would only sing if we went to Mary's....  They had so much fun and loving giving the plate of goodies away...

Josh made this one for Grandma......  

The Prefect Tree..... by Josh Lewis

Saturday was the day we went and picked out the perfect tree for our house (Josh pick the first big one he saw).  The kids had so much fun running around and looking at all the trees.  We had to go to Wal-Mart and get some lights and candy canes for the tree.  We didn't have enough lights for our 8 foot tree.....  Think this is the biggest yet........

We finally got it all done Sunday afternoon.....  What fun we had!!!

Josh making his pose....

Baby Kylie came alone to help out.  She was a BIG help when it came to picking out our tree...

Here is the group --  Kylie, Kylee, Ashton, Josh and Ariana

Ariana wanted to help us too.  We are so glad to have our family so close.  Our kids love being with each other all the time and think that most of them are happy just playing with family......  Wish for a white Christmas!!!!!! 

December is Here......

Thought I would put some pictures from last year.....  The snow looks like so much fun and we had lots of fun in it.  Josh, Kylee and Ashton have all gotten so big this last year.   We all love this time of year with Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Halloween Pictures

Kylee is a Football Player........  We had a jersey made with her name and number on it....  (In PINK of course).....  She loved it and especially loved decorating her helmet.  She looked like a very Cute Football Player........
Josh dressed up as a Motor-Cross Racer.  He has all the gear in the pictures so it was pretty easy.   He loves riding his dirt bike and is now into making little jumps in our back yard....
"Ashton the Little Pirate".... He didn't care much for the eye patch or the hat but was all about the sword and fighting with people.......   We did some trick or treating before so that the kids could knock on doors and Ashton had so much fun.  There was some really scary houses out there.  Then we went to the church for our annual Halloween Party.  Food, Fun, Games and Candy.  They all had lots of fun.  Last of all we stopped by Roger's (our builder) house for a marshmallow roast.

Ruben on the Tractor......

Ashton's most favorite thing to do is ride the tractor.  Ruben had to drive it to a service project on Saturday so Ashton got to ride with him all the way to Taggares Park.....
