I am still in awe of how fast Christmas has came this year for us!! It really snuck up on me. We are staying home this year. I am ready for it to be over. I don't understand why Christmas has to be so stressful for some people.....but I am usually one of the stressed people :)

My parents are going to be here for Christmas YAY. We haven't seen them since the 4th of July. I really miss my momma :) I am not sure about John's parents....I think they will be in Texas for Christmas?? But we will see them before or after. My SIL could have her twins anyday now. She isn't due til my bday but she could go anytime.

The kids are so excited this year. I think it is neat watching them when they really understand Christmas for the first time. I love watching their faces when they find out that they have gotten something on their list.

Though this year my son asked for some pretty pricy stuff. He is NUTS I tell ya!!

Hunter's List

Hadleigh's List(when asked)

Hadleigh keeps talking about Santa coming to our house. She is super excited. Hunter is afraid that he will only get coal cause of this being a rough year for him. He is doing a little better now that daddy is back home.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! From our family to yours!!

Christie, John, and kids

Whats New?

Well, John is home now!! He graduated first in his class from the Police Academy. I am so proud of him. He made a lot of really awesome friends there too. Through him I made a new friend from there too :)

Hunter is doing awesome in school. He just turned 7 on the 11th. I think back to when he was born and wonder how he is so big already!! Hunter is my little reader and LOVES to read the bedtime story to his sister at night. I don't get to read much to them anymore lol

Hadleigh is getting so big too. She is 28mths old now. She is talking so much more now. Now she can count to 10 and we are working on ABC's. She knows most of her colors and a whole bunch of animal sounds. But if you ask her what a turtle says, she will say "Don't know" lol Hunter used to say "ba dum ba dum" was what a turtle said hee hee

I am still working on my photography as I go. I love doing it, but finding time sometimes is the problem. There isn't a lot that is new with me though. Maybe I will have something interesting to blog about in a few days. :)

Til next time

Trying this again

I lost all my info for my other blog and I can't recover my sign in info....so here we go again.

I am going to try to keep up with this one better :)
