For a while now our internet has been a booger.... we could get on for five minutes then it would shut down for hours.... very frustrating to me since most of my social life is on here (sad I know). SO I havent been able to update the blog because lets face it, it takes forever to upload photos on here and most blog posts take more then five minutes to type out :).
Jimmy is working for a Health Insurance company now. He is REALLY excited about it. Apparently it is a really good group that even Dave Ramsey would approve. (Dave Ramsey is the founder of Financial Peace University which Jim and I took and it has changed our lives!)
Hunter is in preschool. It is a great social outlet for him...
Haley still loves school. She is becoming an excellent reader! I cant believe how well she is reading!
Jonah has a lot of mommy time while the kids are in school. It is so fun to hang out with him. He gets a little obessed with ONE particular book and wants to read it for hours it seems... and when I say he wants to read it for hours... what I mean to say is he wants to sit in my lap and have me read it to him for hours... which is a blast at first.... but gets really old... and makes doing household chores harder... To help make the book more interesting for myself, I make up new words and sarcasism to it to make myself laugh... (Kinda like what Dan Houghton does in Honduras when he talks to the kids there in english as if they can understand him).
A quick Haley story...
H: Mom... Ethan kissed me yesterday at school.
Me: What?
With a HUGE smile, H: Ethan kissed me.
Trying to be aloof, me: Where?
H: At school
Me: no, where did he kiss you?
H: At school
Me:.... No, Where?
H: In centers
Finally understanding that she isnt getting what I am asking...ME: No where on your body?
With another huge smile, H: My arm.
I got a huge smile.... it was cute. Very innocent :)
Jenna made us some wooden frames and other wooden goodies.... she burned art into them.
I painted Haley and Hunter houses.... Haley uses hers for Littlest Pet Shop and Hunter for trains.
Haley HAD on a nice dress, but then it bothered her and she decided to take it upon herself to change into a summer dress... I didnt want to fight with her on Christmas so I left it be.
On his first day of school they were having a christmas party (this was back in december - I am just getting to uploading all my pictures) this party made Hunter feel right at home. :) I think he thought it was for him.
The kids had set out donuts for santa.... it is so funny we never really focused on Santa.... Christmas has been abut Jesus. Haley asked Jim if Santa was real and he told her no. She got upset and began to argue with him telling us that santa is real and that if she took the polar express she would hear the bell. It was so cute... so now, because of the Polar Express... she thinks we are all scrooges. It is sweet and I loved watching her excitement when she saw that santa ate some of the donuts she had laid out. She also laid out food for the reindeer. :)
I will post christmas pictures once I down load them... these past pictures are from my moms camera.
Then on Christmas morning, we would have breakfast and do all day hang out stuff at our home... Next year we may switch it up a bit... but this year that is what we did.
Scott and Jenny moved into their first house! it is beautiful! They live so close... I love it!
Jenny in her great room.... kitchen opening up to the living room. She has nice hardwood floors...
My parents left today.. this morning... the above picture is at her birthday dinner. When they arrived, it was the day after her birthday so we went to dinner to celebrate it with her.
So we got a fake tree this year.... we thought we were getting something bigger... but once we brought it home and set it up... it wasnt quite what we had in mind. First.... branches fell off :). Second... I had to use the phrase... "See that wire sticking out, be careful). 
On top of the tree looking so.... Charlie Brownish.... my back was SCREAMING! SO I wasnt having fun. (Look at the stocking holders.... they are trains). 
The kids.. however, had a BLAST and love our tree!!! Which totally makes it all worth it!
Believe it or not the tree is 6 ft. We have tall ceilings.... The tree is a bit thin :) and have WAY to many ornaments and lights on it... but you know what... my kids love it anyways!
Jonah loves to help with laundry... he also LOVES this blanket Jane made him. LOVES it.... he carries it around with him..... His second favorite is the blanket Deanne gave him.... :) they are both silky and small.
At the mall of Georgia they have a place called, Jumping For Joy. It is like Jumping Jacks in Rancho... but they have this one section where you ride these --- things.. Jonah just liked pushing them around. I didnt get any pictures of Jumping.... I dont know why. The places heater was broken so it was FREEZING there! So maybe I forgot.... maybe my brain froze...
