G'Nite Sweetheart, G'nite!

Thought this was the most adorable thing...actually made me a little weepy!! Proud mom, i guess! Samantha fell asleep on the couch, and Stephanie took her own blanket (which is a huge deal, they are very possessive of their own blankets!!) and covered her up. The cutest, and I'm glad i had my Flip Video handy!! was she kept fixing the blanket and then leaned over and gave her a kiss!!! then went back to making sure the blanket was on just right! a couple minutes later, post video, she went up to the couch, and pulled her blanket off of Samantha and went and to sleep herself!! not really sure how samantha slept through the hole thing...but she did!! i kept expecting her to wake up and kick stephanie right off the couch!!

A Mother's Prayer

Here's a video mommy has been working on for awhile...she always cries when she watches it...not sure why?? we're just bein' cute! it is a very beautiful song. enjoy!

Stephanie's All Better!

Stephanie has been very sick with a bad cough and cold...Here's a little clip she made to thank everyone for all of their prayers!

My Photos

I am so excited...it is my new toy...well as long as mommy lets me play with it! Mommy's phone takes pictures!! and then i just slide my finger across and i can look at them all...it is the neatest thing. here are a couple of my latest shots...look out Hassas, Scott Andrew, Jasmine, Leila, and all of you other fine photographers!! If you need my help, just call my mom! I'm available!

Makin' Christmas Cookies!

We take Christmas cookies very serious around here. The process takes about 3 days...and nights! We start at Aunt Nini's house making Peanut Butter cookies with kisses and little PB cups. We had to unwrap thousands of kisses...not sure what "thousands" is, but i know it was alot. Then we go to Aunt Terrie's house where we meet up with Aunt Tami, Tanya, Leah, and Grandma Karen. We spend all day makin', bakin', and decoratin'!! Tasting the frosting was the best part! Not sure who tasted more cookies...Stephanie or Papa, but we still had plenty! We had cookies for weeks! I know this post is a little late, but mommy has been playing with her new Flip video camera and learning how to edit...Love this song by George Strait...Enjoy!

Santa Came to Our House!

Guess what???!! Santa came to my house!! I couldnt believe it! I was a little scared, but i didnt cry like the last time i met Santa! Stephanie cried...she was scared. I even helped him put presents under the tree! I'm not sure where my Daddy was...he missed Santa...but when he came back in the house, we told him all about it! I would also like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

If You Could See Me Now

I cannot believe it has already been a year since my mom passed away. It has not been an easy year, to say the least. Here is the video I put together for her funeral...we watch it often and continually remind ourselves she is in a better place. We love and miss you, Mom. Hope to see you soon.

Silly Stuff!

We havent posted in awhile...so here we are doing a little talky! Mommy is in charge of all the little kids costumes for our Christmas play this weekend...which means she has to wash them, find which one fits who...and sew any rips or tears...yes, thats right...i said sew. i know you're scared...not half as scared as i am...next thing she might start making my clothes....YIKES!!! Enjoy!

Visit with Santa

I woke up this morning with a purpose...i wanted to see Santa today. I told my mommy we needed to go see Santa...she reluctantly agreed. i was so excited! i was going to tell him i wanted a baby rascal dog (little black lab) that barks, and two barbies. We finally got to the mall where he was at and stood in line for a couple of minutes. Then i'm not sure what happened, but i turned totally shy and scared to death. stephanie was fine until she saw me crying...then she started to cry too. anyway, here's our time with Santa...enjoy. ps - dont blink because it doesnt last very long!

Family Traditions

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. We started with family pictures...and then went to dinner. We went to my Uncle Jim's Sister's house and all of our families were there. I'm still not quite sure what it was all about, but there were alot of people and tons of food. It was so much fun. Then Friday I asked Daddy if we were getting a Christmas tree and he said yes, lets go get one. So we went and picked one out and brought it home! On Saturday, Mommy said she wanted to make a gingerbread house...she said something about doing it every year at this time. sounds like fun to me...and you know stephanie, if foods involved...she's all in! Then we decorated our stockings because mommy said she wanted us all to have one with our name on it...that was fun too...it took a very long time for them to dry, but once they did...Mommy was so happy with them. We hung them up. Now that the tree is up, i said we needed to go get the presents...but Daddy said something about Santa...not sure who he is, but hey, if he's got presents...he can come! Then today we went to Sunday School and started practicing for the Christmas play...i get to be a cow...or a sheep. Then as we were leaving Sunday School...it started to snow! Mommy said we are supposed to get 6-10 inches!! All weekend, Mommy said family traditions are important...and i agree...we've had so much fun this weekend...lets do it again next weekend!
