Random happenings

I'm finally showing one picture of the house. This one shows the kitchen, dining room, and portion of the living room. You can even see our christmas tree a little. We sure enjoyed Christmas in our new house. I have to say that it was my best gift this year. I am also posting this picture of my baby helping to decorate the tree. She was sooo cute about it. The excitement shows on her face.
We all had a great Christmas. The kids seem very pleased with what they got. Kaden got a new set of golf clubs because the stinker grew out of his Jr. set. It's hard on his mom to let him grow up. He has switched to a different girlfriend, and increasing the gray hairs on his mothers head.
Ali got the zhu zhu pet that she wanted, and also a blow dryer and flat iron because she also is growing up faster than her mother wants her to. But it will be nice when she is able to do her hair on her own. It may take awhile though because her hair is long.
Paige got a zhu zhu pet as well, and it also thrilled with it. She got a CD and all sorts of girly things like a scarf, necklace and earrings. She has been a huge help in cleaning everything up for the holidays, and helping with Danica.
Tyce got a V-Tech laptop computer that has some fun and educational games on it. He has loved it. He's very into computer and video games right now, so Santa new he would enjoy this gift. He has also enjoyed having the kids home for a break.
Danica got a baby and a little grocery cart to push it in. She seems to enjoy them both, but really what she wants is just lots and lots of attention from me and the kids. She sure is a sweety, and we all love being with her.
Jody and I got a new beautiful house, and we will slowly (oh so slowly) try to afford putting some furniture in it. We don't own a dresser because the ones in the old house were built in. We also have nothing but an old recliner and some mini banana chairs in the big family room in the basement. I'm not complaining though. I'd sit on the floor if I had to. I'm just so happy to have the house.
This week Kaden has his first basketball tournament and we are all excited to see how it goes. I think it will be good to get the first game under their belt. Hopefully all goes well.
Happy Holidays to you all!

Short and Sweet

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am back up and running. Jody hooked my computer back up last night, and I am now trying to catch up on all I missed. I have to go put Kaden to bed, so I have to be fast, but just wanted to say we are LOVING OUR NEW HOME! It has been soooo crazy moving everything, and I still have a little left to go, but it has been Fabulous! I thought it would take a while for it to actually feel like home, but once your stuff is in it, it just sorta feels like the place you're suppose to be. I will take some completed pictures when I feel like things are cleaned up and put away enough to show on the blog. Hopefully that will be sooner than later.
