Merry Christmas

Our family has had a wonderful Christmas holiday! We were able to have Preston's family over a week earlier for a fish fry Christmas party. The boys got tons of clothes and toys. Then we spent several days at my family's home over Christmas where we got to spend time with my brother, Chip, and his wife, Rachel, from Albequerque. Also, we got see a bunch of my cousins that were around and we see very rarely anymore since we're all spread all over the continent. I'm on the young end of the cousins, so they all have family stuff to keep up with too. It's fun to sit back and think about all the get togethers we used to have every year with all my cousins growing up. We would be running amuck around Grandma Kitley's house driving all the adults nuts and fighting over who gets to play pool, who's "it" in hide and seek, and tattling on who was getting into trouble (usually my brother Chip). I miss those partys, but its fun growing up and seeing all of us starting families of our own and being on the parental end of it! It definitely is a different perspective.

The boys got matching Christmas jammies from Mimi and Papa, Noah thought that was great and was trying to snuggle with his brother.



Noah like his new WALL-E underpants and had to strip down and put them on right away. He also likes his new harmonica and all the hot wheel cars and tracks he got. There wasn't anything he didn't get excited about. Of course, after all the presents were opened, he was still asking for more.


We also had Preston read the story of Jesus' birth from Noah story Bible. Noah always enjoys reading out of his little Bible.

Locked and Loaded


So here is what my sister-in-law, Rachel, and I got for Christmas (actually I have to share w/ Preston). Rachel got a Remington 1100 with her initial on it (okay, so the "R" was for Remington, but it works out either way). We got a 357 Mag Smith&Wesson. I'm gonna have to get a bigger purse (haha).

Noah Bowling

We went bowling a week ago with the youth group (for their Christmas party). Noah had a blast bowling. He did the cutest thing everytime he bowled and was waiting for the ball to get all the way down the lane (which took a while). He would put his hands together like he was praying for the ball to knock pins down. We're still not sure exactly what he was doing or where he picked it up at (as far as bowling...he prays all the time at home), but it was adorbale!

Christmas Picture


Here are my two handsome boys posing for the camera. We didn't get Christmas cards out this year with all the busyness of having 2 kids and the holidays. Actually this is the first year in 5 years Preston and I haven't accomplished this task. Oh well, enjoy, next year.

Levi Talking

Okay! So our second son is amazingly laid back and easy going and happy! Those of you that were around Noah when he was this age know how "opposite", to say the least, this is for us. Noah is still my high maintanence child. They compliment each other well. Anyway, here is a short video of Levi talking. And, yes, I know I sound like a goober...but the things we do for our kids right?
