Cowboys and Steelers

So the game didn't go how I really wanted it to but Ben was happy....
Here's a few shots from our friendly household rivalry game last weekend.

Gingerbread er... Graham cracker houses

I was cordially invited (by Kendall's own hand) to her classroom this past week to make a gingerbread house.
Ours was not the prettiest or the most structurally sound but man did we laugh (and lick our fingers!)
I loved this time to spend together even though little sis tagged along too!

Guns and sewing

That's part of what we've been up to the past few weeks.
Kendall is enjoying her new sewing machine and has made several "gifts." I have made a few gifts and mainly completed some pleasure sewing. Nice and relaxing!
Ben and I shopped around and purchased his and hers guns for Christmas. Ben got a Glock 23 and I got a Ruger GP100. We are currently on the way to my parents for Christmas and I can't wait to fire them!
As you can see, we are all enjoying my new safety accessories as well.

9 months and.....

Crawling!
That's right our little spit fire is on the move! She is pulling up, scooting, and now crawling.
I will post her stats after her appointment in January!

Four-legger love

Kymber enjoys spending time with her favorite dogger. I think that is what motivated her to start scooting all over just so she can get to our Jordan girl. This is the other morning when she backed herself up so she could pat-pat.

My 3 musketeers

I pray that these 3 always remain this close! Love these sweet cherubs!

Cheesy poof

He's got mail!

Isaac received his first new magazine, High Five, yesterday.
We just spent some time this morning putting the stickers on the holidays in the 2013 calendar.
I can't wait to read the magazine with Isaac too!
Thanks Great Grammy and Pappy!!
Love, Isaac

Nutcracker date

Kendall and my second annual nutcracker date was today. I love to see her watch in amazement, point out her friends, and most of all enjoy her alone time with me. It strikes me that we need to make more time to spend alone with each child now more than ever before we lose this valuable time.
I am very sappy and sentimental tonight. Kendall cracked me up getting pictures and autographs even though she had no idea what an autograph is for!

The front porch makes the house....

Enjoying our Christmas lights on our front porch tonight.
It strikes me that this may be our last with this beautiful wraparound porch & that makes me sad.
This is the porch that sold me on the house before I even saw the inside. It's where I have rocked my babies, drank coffee with wonderful friends, visited with family, had my beloved dogs lay on my feet.....yeah the front porch definitely make the house.

A month of iPhone catch-up
