The Holidays are here!

Christmas came early for Jason this year as he managed to buy himself a car. 2001 buick century and now we'll never see him as he has been gone ever since he closed on the deal. You could say that he is one happy man right now. I'm pretty proud of him for managing to buy it him self and yes, it was a hard lesson to learn with all of the other expenses that come with it like insurnace and tax & lic. Dad threw in some old tires that were pretty good still that I took off another car .....luckily they fit his car perfect.

Jordan has been super busy with cheer leading and oh yes....she is now driving but not with out a lic. driver over 21. She received her permit a few weeks ago and you guessed it everywhere we go its dad can I drive or I come out of the house to find her already behind the wheel ready to drive dad in to town. Well I guess thats one way to spend time with your daughter. She does have a braking problem. The next time you see me I'll either be in a neck brace or she'll have managed to figure it out without sending me into the windshield. Oh how fast they grow up what ever happened to my little girl that used to love watching videos like Bambi and Cinderella or reading books on my lap. Wow time sure flies doesn't it?

And then we know we're into the Holidays when we have performance after performance for dance. Jayme has been very busy between school projects and dance, piano as well. Jayme has become a really great aunt.......making her way with her brother to Logan to help give Jessica a hand with Kayson. Feeding a real baby is nothing like the dolls at home, at least her experience is that Kayson moves a lot fast, and all the time vs her baby doll at home that just sits there.

Oh feeding a baby....real baby food couldn't be any funner!

We had a great thanksgiving...from my own perspective anytime you can celebrate Thanksgiving and remember the next day is a good one. Compared to last year this was a walk in the park.

There is great excitement in the air as Christmas is quickly making its way towards us but again for me its the end of the year that I'm really looking forward to. If I can mange to stay out of the hospital for three more weeks it will be the first time in 9 years that I've not spent at least 3 weeks in the hospital during any one year. Celebration time is coming...............I feel a party coming on! And its not new years eve either.

I know such silly things to celebrate and look forward to but when you 've been where I have, you would have a better understanding just how that feels.

Our family seems to be going in so many different directions its hard sometimes to keep up with them. Life is great isn't it? You just have to be grateful for everything the Lord has blessed you with even the hardships for without those we would never really know how great life is. Merry Christmas to you all and we truly hope you had a great thanksgiving ...I know I did.

One last thing..........Enjoy it! You have to enjoy it for it to really mean anything.
