Christmas '08

We had a very blessed Christmas!

Brandon & Felicia loved what Santa brought them, a kitchen.

Gma & Gpa Ralph went way over board!

On Friday we traveled to Lebanon, MO to see my family.

Opening Presents at Gma Jan's!

This is the same high chair I use to play with when Iwas a little girl.

Felicia actually sat in it and got stuck so we had to remove the tray for safety purposes.

Thank you, Tara for letting us borrow your DVD player! I am sure it saved our sanity!

Everyone enjoyed playing the Wii!

My 81 year old Grandma and 15 year old cousin.

Mia and Hannah are ready for the games to begin!

Yes, we did have a Wonderful Christmas and we hope you did too!

Here is to a fantastic 2009!

Life is Good

Lately, all I have heard from my four year old son is that he wants a baby. I have no idea where he got this idea because it was not from me and I know Chris would never give him such an idea. Now you may think "aww, how cute!" And I can tell you at first I thought so as well but now I am just not sure.

He named the baby over a month ago. After his favorite song by Stellar Kart 'Life is Good'

A couple of weeks ago he found out that a little friend was going to have a baby sibling and he threw himself on the floor and screamed "It's just not fair! I want a baby!" (He later told his daddy that he wanted a baby first)

About a week ago while we were Christmas shopping he put some baby items in the cart. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was buying a present for the new baby. "What new baby?" I asked. And he said "Mooooommm, you know, Life is Gooder!" (In a 'duhhhhh, mom how could you forget' voice)

If I even mention the fact that there will probably not be anymore babies in our family he starts crying, saying "but what about Life is Gooder?"

I don't know what to tell him so I am just praying that he grows out of this stage and onto something else.

Children go through crazy phases all the time, what phase drove you nutty?
