SORRY NO PICTURES!!!

This update is without pictures. Our camera battery died and we can't find our charger so I will post pictures soon I hope. We had a quiet Christmas but the boys had a blast. Christmas Eve we went to church then headed to the Shelton's house. The boys had fun playing with Emily and Erica and Noah loves Rob. Christmas morning we woke up around 8 and Dylan woke up around 8:40 we then had breakfast and opened gifts. The boys were so pleased with what they got. The rest of the day we just hung around the house while the boys played with the new toys they got. Yesterday we were able to go to the Spurs game. A family at the school gave us six box seat tickets so we invited The Shelton's to go with us. The girls were are grandma and grandpas house so it worked out perfect. Once we got to the game and in the box the boys were so excited. Noah loved the seats although he was not quite heavy enough to hold it down. Dylan loved watching the game and thought it was so cool. Noah clapped every time everyone else clapped and when the lights went off to introduce the spurs and the music started playing no was laughing so hard. He had his hands over his mouth and kept bending down to laugh. It was fun to watch them.


Also I just got a call from my best friend saying her cousin just found out her cancer is stage four. Please keep Korrine (13 years old) in your prayers.

Dylan turned FIVE!!!!

Well three days ago our baby turned 5! Can you believe it? Everyone always use to say how time flies but I never thought so that is until I had kids. I wish there was some kind of pause button we could put on life. Just to hold on to those little moments. My parents have told me to cherish the moments that they want you and want to be held or played with because the time will come when they won't want mom and dad around. If I only had that pause button so we will never arrive upon that time. I have a book that I write to the boys in and as I get ready to write in Dylan's book all I can think is what a blessing! What a blessing he has been to me and our family. He is so smart and so loving. He truly cares about people and loves his family and for him I am thankful. There is not a night that passes that I don't thank God for blessing me with him.




Here are some random pictures of Dylan over the last two years. Dylan says he is pretending to be papa brad in the superman picture because papa Brad really is Superman the only real superhero! Can you guess who has been telling him that?

Locks of Love

Yesterday I found out my best friends cousin has cancer. She is only 13 and was diagnosed with Choriocarcinoma this is the same kind of cancer Lance Armstrong had. They had to remove an Ovarie and part of the other. They also found that it has spread to her liver. They are now going to have to do chemo. Two of her biggest fears are not being able to have kids one day and losing her hair. I have personally decided to grow my hair in honor of Korrine Croghan and donate it to locks of love this is just a small way I can help her and others in her situation. This will be a battle for Korrine and her family please keep them in your prayers as they will be in mine. A website is being created for her and I will post it soon.

Man we miss home!

So, for some reason I am feeling more home sick then normal. I love it here where we are but I think the idea of not having my family here to celebrate Christmas with or my house to decorate like I did last year is getting to me. So with that being said We love you all and miss you. We wish we could be home.









Here are some pictures from Christmas last year

This years Christmas pictures!

While in California I was able to have the boys Christmas pictures taken thanks to my friend Rebecca Pratt (who took the pictures) and grandma Terri (who bought the boys matching outfits)
Here are a few of the many great pictures that were taken. We are sad that we can't be home for Christmas but are hoping to take a trip back to California in January once again without Aaron.

Noah turns 2!!

So we decided to take Noah to chuck-e-cheese tonight since he had so much fun last time. This time Daddy went with us and boy did we have fun. Once we left chuck-e-cheese we went and got ice cream and boy did we get lucky because tonight is dollar scoop night!

Chirstmas festivities in Boerne

Saturday we went to Boerne with our friends Heidi, Zac, Jon and Cloe. It was so much fun! They had a huge Christmas parade all the shops were lit up and it even snowed. We had some great food (sausage links, cookies, popcorn and cupcakes) but we had even more fun saying hi to Santa and playing in the snow.

Noah did not want the snow on his shoes and Dylan was happy to have it on his head

A day out with the boys

Well last week Dylan convinced me to take him to chuck-e-cheese we did not only go once but twice. Here are a few pictures of our fun trip. Noah also had a blast and cried when it was time to leave.
