Playing Catch Up

Time is sure flying by and I am having a really hard time keeping up. It is getting closer and closer to Christmas and I am just not ready. The kids are getting really excited and Stockden is still just trying to figure it all out. We have had some snow and that has been fun. Stockden loves to go drive his tractor in it because it makes tracks.  I am not loving shoveling the driveway but oh well.

The kids all love going to Andres and Sarah's house they always have the coolest animals there. This last time Stockden was able to help Andres feed a bottle to one of the baby puppies.

He was so proud of himself. It was fun to watch. They also had a chinchilla that they had just gotten. Jentrie loved it. She had it on a leash and was trying to walk it in the house. She thought we needed one.

Jentrie has been such a funny girl this last little while. She found some glasses in the shed that had fallen out of one of the Halloween totes and has been dressing up as a nerd just to make people laugh.

McKall had her dance review on the 13th. She did such a great job. I did not get any pictures since she had a choir concert right before and actually had to leave in the middle to make it to dance. She loves the hip hop dances and it is so fun to watch her get into the dance like she does.
Staelie has been able to spend some time with Synara and had loved this. She loves to walk down to the pet store to check out the animals.

Here is just a cute picture of Stockden holding Gabriel. Stock thinks he is so big when he gets to hold the baby. Then here are just a couple of pictures of the baby.

Patriot Program

Jentrie had a patriot program at school the other day and Grandma Bertha was able to come with me. She did such a good job. It was fun to watch and listen to her sing. At the program a man that helps save eagles came and brought a golden eagle with him to show the kids. That was really cool. I was not able to get the best pictures from where we were sitting but I tried. Thanks Jent for inviting me you did a great job and I was so glad I could go. Stockden was so funny while we were there, they had us say the pledge of allegiance and when we were putting our hands over our hearts he was confused about what he was doing and was putting it on his head. So funny to watch him try to figure it out. I did help him after a min.
