My Blog Rules

This blog has been created for only family, extended family, my Children down the road, people we love that are far away who care about us and not just themselves. Apparenly, Other people are reading way too much into what I write here. You know who you are. Please just enjoy the fun photos of Brooke and Lindsay and don't think you have the right to examine MY life. People in glass houses should not throw stones!


Update apparently there is a certain friend of mine that thinks I should use my blog to vent.
That I purposely try to make my life "look" happy, happy, happy. Well, I tend to think everyone does a little of that personally. I don't have this blog to vent and whine about life. I haven't let all of you know that I lost my job in July. I only got paid short term disability thru 10/31/09. Mike hasn't found a job yet because he's been taking care of me and all my doc appts and physical therapy. The important people KNOW these things! We have to pay COBRA now to keep our insurance up to date. Which is not exactly easy when there is no income and we have medical bills up the wazoo from 2008. If I decide that I want to blog about traveling around the world that should be Mike and my choice. Though it's only wishful thinking...
We have a lot of help from family and church that we GREATLY appreciate!

Happy Birthday Uncle Paul

Love Brooke, Lindsay,

Mike & Chris

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We ALL Love You!

Chris, Lindsay, and Brooke

Santa has a Georgia home in Eagle Watch

" Only DAD is ok for a Santa visit" says Brooke

Gosh I love Lindsay's reaction to Santa this year!
Just look at our kids' smile!

Brooke still wants nothing to do with him. But maybe that will change when she turns three as well.

Look at their yard. How could you miss this place?!

I got Santa's ear for a minute myself!

We've gone to this house the last 3 years in a row. We tell Linds that Santa has a home in the south where he and the elves make toys. She has had us do "drive-bys" just to see if Santa is out yet. So many people know about this house you usually have to stand in line to get a sleigh picture!

a-mazing!
