We have been blessed with health and happiness this year, wishing you the same in 2012

Flying High

Brian worked earlier in the week getting things ready for his new flagpole! I honestly didn't think that he would put it in the ground til early spring, but Mother Nature has been awfully good to us and we took advantage. Monday, he and the kids dug the hole and poured concrete so we were basically just waiting for it to dry!! Today was the day that we had been waiting for, the raising of the poles and flag. The kids were just as excited as he and I am excited to be able to landscape around it!! We even put it buy the outdoor lights so that we can leave it up at night, I just haven't taken a picture yet.

Daddy's little helpers

Hayley was so proud

Game Day

We truly are the house divided!!

Ahhhh, C A T S   CATS CATS CATS

HELP!!!!

I broke our blog!!!!  

I finally had some free time and got caught up on all of my Christmas posts, went to change my background and now I am stuck with this ugly plain one. It will not let me change or do anything!!!! If any of my fellow bloggers could help, it'd be much appreciated!

Farnsley's Christmas

Christmas afternoon we headed to Uncle Steve's for the Farnsley's Christmas. The kids LOVE going

to Steve's because they love to pick on him and he is always trying to get us to take some of his animals. Guess that's what happens when you live on a farm, you are the animal control for these dang city/wanna be country people. Last year it was guineas and this year a turkey!!!

Not a very good picture, but the only one I thought to get of all of us on Christmas day

It wouldn't be Christmas unless Steve wrapped his presents in none other then aluminum foil

An ipod nano, and wii games for Hayley

DS games and more Lego's for Hunter

Aren't we cute??

Wished that I would of taken more pictures but that's what happens when you get together with family you only see once a year!

at any moment.....

wrestle mania could break out. LOVE IT and my wild and crazy boys!

Christmas Morn'

Santa came and I was so excited that the kids let us sleep until 7:30!!

Hunter got a Nintendo 3 DS

Mario Kart 7

Lego's

Hayley got a video camera

Notebook and Pen from Hayley

Coffee mug from Hunter

For the past 10 years Brian has been wanting a flag pole. Seriously, a flag pole?! Well we always go to the Farm and Garden show and he spends hours talking and looking at these things. I decided that it was the perfect gift for him this year and ordered one. If you are ever bored, google flag poles and look at the 10 million different brands, makes, types, etc. Thanks to Pop and Pa for translating and telling me what I type I wanted!! And he was clueless, score one for us!!!

The kids had been working on a super secret surprise for Brian and I off and on for the past couple of weeks. We FINALLY got to open it on Christmas and it was the best. present. ever.   

Sweet handwritten card from both of them:

A lay to hang from my rear view mirror

Hayley drew me this picture:

Brian got a tape measure, pen and these Cd's....Waterboy (his all time fav movie) and Garth Brooks

and I got She Daisy Christmas and Christmas with the Stars  CD. They bought all of this stuff at a yardsale with their own money. LOVE IT

So, a few weeks ago I was shopping and found these super cute boots. I did what any good wifey would do and took a picture and sent it to her hubby complete with size, store, and price. I was so excited to see them under the tree and couldn't wait to wear them. Watch out TES girls, I got my boots to go with my new sweater dresses, game on!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT
