Its nice to have boys old enough to get things done around the house.

I called Jay and told him that Jordon was out doing his job and he didn't have to worry about scrapping snow. He couldn't believe that Jordon could even get the tractor going!

He did a nice job! Thanks Jordon!!!

It was so hard to put a hat on this dog and make her pose! This is the best one before she freaked out and ripped off the hat so she can shread it to pieces!!!

Bracken wanted an acustic guitar for his birthday--so he got guitar hero 'world tour' instead.

The boys enjoy playing together (I though the underwear shot was funny).

HOLY COW----

SEVENTEEN

I can't believe it has been 17 years when since I had this boy! I felt like I was pregnant forever with this kid. They started me when I was two weeks late with him.( He was do on the 5th). He came by c-section at 7:20p.m weighing 8 lbs 9 oz on December 18th. Happy birthday Bracken!!!

Okay-So I'm up late again sitting at this computer-just surfing the net. WHY do I stay up so late???? Idon't know, but what I do know is that I will be dragging my butt out of bed in the morning trying to get every one up out of bed and ready for school. Christmas is just days away and I'm not ready(stresssss). And my boy is having a birthday this week which is making me feel really old. I cant be that old to have a 17 year old--yet 40 is knocking on the door (in about 10 months-(sob sob:(). How does time slip away so quickly? Well sorry about the rambling- I hope everyone has a great week.

WOW! It's nice to have some of that white stuff outside. Now it feels like Christmas!!

Jordon enjoyed doing cookies in the snow.

I had to take a picture of the sky this morning because it looked so cool. The clouds are so amazing. One of my favorite things to do is to lay outside and watch the clouds......it is so relaxing.

YEAH
