bball and ......

Brayden is playing Y basketball. His team only has 6 kids so he gets alot of playing time. He gets to be point guard alot. He is a pretty good little player.

Addison was being silly one morning. I had to take a picture!

New member of the family

We got a dog before the end of the year. I really wanted to have a puppy under the tree for the kids to see on Christmas morning but that is alot harder than it seams. So this is Roscoe the Pugle. He is 4 months old. We are potty training right now and it is harder than potty training a child. He is a pretty good dog. He is also pretty calm for a puppy, but he finds every little thing on the floor that he is not suppose to have. I have to make sure all the floors stay picked up or it ends up in his mouth.

All the kids love him but are already fighting over who's turn it is to take him out.

The dog sleeps in Lucas's room and he gets up in the night and takes him out if need be. He is the one really pushing to get a dog. We have never had a dog in the house before so it is a different experience for us.

Addison's big girl bed

Addison got a big girl bed for Christmas and her birthday. As you can tell she loves her new bed. She is holding her favorite baby! A friend gave us this baby. I think she likes it because it is chubby.

Christmas Eve with grandma and grandpa

Grandpa and grandma came to spend the day with us. We had our big ham meal, opened presents, and went to Christmas Eve service. The only thing that would have made it better was if Brad and family would have been here.

Lucas is never a willing participant when it it time to take pictures.
