MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Santa CAME!! Whoo-hoo!
Super excited about all the new trucks and choo-choos!!
"How did Santa know that I love 'High School Musical'?! I just love it!"

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope everyone had a great day, just like we did! Willie and I had to (yes HAD to) wake the kids up! We had to hurry to open gifts and get ready because we still had to head to CF !

Christmas Photos

Here we are trying to get our Christmas photo, I can't wait until Brayds' a little bit bigger where he can actually cooperate and smile for me (maybe even sit still!)

Thanksgiving

Mom and Emma :)
Brittany, Nikki, Me, Mom, and Emma

This year Willie and I decided to take on Thanksgiving! We've never had a holiday at our home, and we thought we'd try it :) Willie had to work on Sat. morning (b.t.w. it was his 26th bday too!) soo.. I had to fun task of getting everything prepared :) Because I've never hosted a holiday, I've never had the experience of preparing, cleaning, or messing with the bird. YUCK is all I have to say!! Poor Kevin! Nikki and Kevin were sleeping in the leaving room while I'm screaming about the "neck" falling out.. He graciously got of bed and took out the neck and all the insides for me as I am gagging in the corner of the kitchen. IF we ever have another holiday I'm designating that job to Willie! Haha! :) But, all-in-all we had a really good time hanging out and catching up!

Singstar!

YIKES! I think the next time they bring this crazy game over, I'm going to have to invest in some ear plugs!!
Dad and Emma rockin out to SingStar!

Lets go Britt and Em!!

Aww! Emma, Britt, and Me! :)

HALLOWEEN!

My little puppy dog didn't know what to think of Halloween! He only got carried around for a few blocks, every piece of candy he got, went right into the mouth! So, he had to hang out with Dad for the rest of Trick-or-Treating!
Best buds, Emma and Lydia!

Painting pumpkins!

Brotherly-Sisterly love!!
:)

We cheated this year!! We decided to try the "non-messy" route this year, and paint our pumpkins! Dad says "NEVER again!" Whoops, maybe this was the messier route! Oh well, we still had fun!

Cherokee Halloween Parade!

The gang!

Peek a Boo!!

Soccer :)

Wow! It's been a long time since the last time I've posted something! Whoops!!

Emma played soccer again this fall, and loved every minute of it!! I have to say that I didn't really care for getting up at 7 A.M. on a Sat morning to watch 4-6 yr olds play in 40 degree weather!

CONGRATS DAN AND LEAH!!!

Our good friends, Dan and Leah, went to Jamaica in August to get married! Here are some pictures from the reception they held when they got back!!

Emma was so worried over her flower petals she had to throw out, she kept begging to go back and pick them up before someone stepped on them and had them ruined!Almost the whole wedding party, there are a few kids missing!
The flower girls and ring bearers!!! Aren't they CUTE?!

Emma, Me, Rachel, and Candace!!
I love this family photo! Brayden is almost, almost :) smiling in this one!!

Yay, it's Aunt Brittany!!

Aunt Brittany and Max came over to visit!!! We had soo much fun with them here! We went to the park and played and hung out with them all weekend!! Emma did not want them to leave!!

Emma's first day of preschool!

Emma's first day of preschool! She has been looking forward to it for a while!! She couldn't wait to see all of her friends! We asked her that night what her favorite part had been and she replied, "I LOVE riding the bus, and I LOVE having my best friend with me!" Here's a trade mark photo.. Emma standing on the door step posing before school starting!
Here's Emma with her teachers! Miss Shana, and Miss Jodi
