nixon
out of all of my kids none of them have had so many bangs and bruises, i haven't decided if he is just so wild or if he is a big klutz. the other day he pulled over one of our kitchen chairs on to him self and ended up with a goose egg. our chair are metal and they are heavy, he was not very happy.


then just yesterday nixon tripped over some shoes and head dived into the trailer battery that was in the front entry. when i picked him up there was blood running down his face after wiping it off i couldn't decide if it needed a stitch or not. but i took him to the er any way and yes he needed one stitch to hold it together. the doctor froze it and put one stitch in it and nixon sat so still the whole time, the doctor and i were so surprised. here is a picture but i am not a good photographer so you can't really see it. sorry

my families favorite after supper dessert. mike started it and nixon just can't get enough

christmas 09

christmas was so fun this year matt and reba came home and spent 2 weeks at my moms house it was so fun to get to know reba better. we did a home made christmas this year (pictures of some of the things to follow) therefore we had only about a dozen presents under the tree which was awesome. it wasn't all about the gifts this year it was more exciting to watch what others had made and how excited everyone was about there gift they were giving instead of getting. here is picture of my kids in there christmas pjs that i finished sewing on christmas eve (yes andy i was sewing in christmas eve again). maybe this year i will be finished before christmas eve but then again it kind of become a tradition.
