Christmas Card 2013

The only shot that turned out of all of us and I am happy. 

 Merry Christmas 2013

Jack and the Christmas Tree

 I was home sick a couple weeks ago and this was Jack all day.  He kept looking out the window waiting for Shane.  I thought it was so cute.  He loves Shane so much.  I know I talk about Jack all the time, but when he is the only kid we have to spoil then I will talk about him a lot.  We are lucky to have him.  He makes me smile and made me feel better.

 Our tree, not my favorite and it's kind of crooked.  I was even trying to decide if we really needed one this year which is not my normal thinking, but after a couple days of back and forth we finally bought one.  It's smaller, which is fine.  After I got it all decorated I really think it's perfect for that spot and I am happy with our crooked little tree.

A Few Pictures From Thanksgiving

We were in Portland this year for Thanksgiving.  I didn't take that many pictures, 

but here are a few of my favorites.

Shane making his 7 layer dip.  Yummy

 Me and Jack relaxing after dinner.

Tyler and Jonah, the babies in the family.  They are growing so fast not really babies anymore.

 My sister Rebecca also snapped a few photo's of us for our Christmas card.

 This is the majority of what we got, me looking at Jack and Jack looking away.

The light was to bright for Jack, he looks a little tipsy here.

My favorite

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving

Our Little Friendly Ghost

The Jack Happenings

 SPOILED-He scored a jumbo size stuffed bone.

 On the Beach-What a life!

Waiting for his lunch-papa's lunch that is.

Celebrating You...Dad

Today is my dads birthday and we celebrated it with some yummy clam chowder and ale bread from the Laughing Clam.  We miss my dad everyday-I know he is close, watching over his family.  Love you dad, and so grateful for your loving example to your family.  You are the best!!  Happy Birthday.

Visit from the Mueller's

Lunch at the Tap Rock

My sister Rebecca and her family visited our home early August.  We were really excited to have them come stay and I think Jack was happy to have the little ones to keep him busy.  It was a short trip, but we were able to fit a few activities in while they were here.  We hope they enjoyed their stay and come back soon!!
