Snickers and Captain....

Our puppies are growing super fast! It is so much fun to see their personalities emerge....Both are very calm, but Snickers is definitely the ring leader! She may have been the runt, but Captain follows her every command! We love our puppies!

Purple Thunder Basketball!

Reagan participated in basketball again this season! Her team's name is the Purple Thunder, and she has known several of the girls for a long time. She had a great time, and become super aggressive by the end of the season. Now we get to start all of the Spring sports!

The 100th Day of School!

Several weeks ago, the kids celebrated the 100th day of the school year! This is a super fun time for the Kindergarten classes, as they all dress like they are 100 years old! Hudson, of course, wanted to participate! I think he makes a good looking old man!!

Hudson's Birthday Party!!

We celebrated Hudson's birthday this last weekend with a Bowling Party! When asked, all he wanted was a Bowling Party at Bowl-a-Rama! It included bowling, pizza, cupcakes, and games at the end! He had a lot of fun, and we enjoyed watching the kids bowl! He got lots of great presents too!

Happy Birthday Hudson!!

Happy Birthday Hudson!! It is so hard to believe that our little boy turned six on 1/11! The first thing he wanted to do, of course, was open presents! We had a great day, and got to enjoy some family time on his birthday. If only the Cowboys would have won..... Hudson is growing into such a sweet young man, and we are loving every minute!

Other Puppy Pictures!

Our new babies are doing great! They love to sleep, play, eat, sleep, play and eat....and of course, have to be taken out multiple times during the day! They aren't big fans of the cold weather, but still have done a great job! Reagan and Hudson have been great with the puppies, and are really helping to take care of them! They are growing super fast, and we are loving every minute!

Merry Christmas!!

With our early present from Santa on Christmas Eve, we were busy all day and ready for Santa to make another return the following day! We had a quiet Christmas at home and had some family over during the day. The kids had a great time, and came away with lots of great stuff! We love Christmas and love enjoying it with one another!

Our Special Christmas Presents!

On Christmas Eve, Santa brought a very special present to the kids! He told them via email, that he was unable to bring this present with him on the sleigh, and that Daddy had to come and meet up with him for the present......This was the first thing on Hudson's list...a real dog! Well, actually, we got two real puppies! We have two new additions that are miniature daschuunds! We have siblings, one girl and one boy. Reagan immediately took the girl, and Hudson got the boy! The girl is the runt of the litter and weighed in at 1.54 pounds and Reagan named her Snickers! Hudson named the little boy that weighed in at 2 pounds, Captain! We have some serious puppy love at our house!!

Our Elf on the Shelf!!

Our "Elf on the Shelf" has gotten herself in some major mischief this year! This is our second or third year to have our elf, Kate. (The kids named her...not sure where that came from!) This year, she has become very unpredictable.....We have seen her taken hostage by Hudson's Army men, she has used binoculars, had a tea party with some friends, written a letter to Santa, had a Spa day, and has even gone fishing......It has been an exciting and fun time to see what Kate's next move will be!
