Happy New Year SarahBeth

Here are a few more laughs!


Just remember..."Talk dirty to me!"

Another good one...

Hey SarahBeth for you...

Forgot to share...

Sarahbeth and her tiny Choir (remember she goes to school with only 240 kids total) sang at the Mansion here in town. She sang to Santa and some kids. The choir is a great group of young adults and they had a blast doing this and yea there is only 1 young man.



SarahBeth and Jarod received a toy from Santa.


SarahBeth and Baily enjoy a little time with Santa.


Even Grandma got in on the action. You should know she was the only one to sit on his lap!



Jarod tells Santa he wants a Red Rider BB Gun! Of course he didn't get one, because we all know know "You'll shot your eye out!" with one.

Merry Christmas 2009!

Sarah adds to her Sims 2 collection.


Jarod and Hannah discover they have Nintendo DS'S.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope next year is a great one for you all!
SarahBeth, Jarod and Hannah plus parents!

Hey Sis, how about this one!

Oh my gosh...

I gave birth to my brother Kelly! They have the same eyes, jaw shape, hair color and I believe they are about the same age. Jarod looked just like Kelly when he was a baby. So much so Kelly's high school class thought Jarod was his son. We now know Jarod will be a heartbreaker just like his Uncle. I can't remember the number of girls I danced with who lost their hearts to my older brother. We love you Kelly, aka Levi Tanner!

That time of year...

NO, this is not a fun holiday post. It is a Hannah up-date. So, Christmas time is when Hannah usually gives us a surprise or a little trouble. For the past few years she has just been sick, but not this year. Today we rushed her to the dentist when last night I noticed a tooth coming in, in the wrong spot. It is about 1/2 an inch back from were it should be. Her baby tooth was still in the right spot. So, the dentist pulled the baby tooth and we will have to wait and see what happens now. I should say after 9.5 years I still hate the "Wait and See game!" it just plain sucks!

We also found out today our beloved Peds doctor quit. We are now playing "Wait and See" told you this game sucks! To see if she is quitting for good, opening up her own shop or joining another shop in town. I ask that you all pray for numbers 2 and 3. Hannah and Sarah really need her.

Plus Hannah has a bone issue. Her bones are about 2 years younger than she is. She may have something going on that is very much like Sarah's condition. They may soon share a specialist.

She also is going knocked knee'd and may need surgery this summer, besides getting her tonsil's out.

However, she still is a happy and loving angel who can't wait for Christmas, Santa, Grandpa, Holly, Bailey and Judy to visit. She is not however looking forward to bruce and is very concerned that she will have to sit on the floor Christmas morning were Bruce might get to her. In case you don't know Bruce is a young but grumpy dog who loves no one but Grandpa!

She also really loves her BBF Uncle Kelly and still loves all the great things he sent her for school. She loves reading the books and can't wait to see you again. Maybe she'll even read to you. She say's to tell you Happy Christmas and that she loves you. We all love you too and hope you have a Very Merry Christmas. Hannah also hopes Santa gives you all you ask for.

Well, hopefully that is all we are going to deal with over the next year. I don't however think it is. We still have the issue of puberty and while she is in early stages of it, KT kids can go through hell medical when it hits full force. The one thing we have learned is that the young bones may make puberty hit a little later, would also be nice if it soften it when it arrived.

This completes the Hannah update for 12-2009!

Sarahbeth did you know there is a PART 3!

Warning may not be for young ears!

Sarahbeth..Hanukkah part 2

Warning may not be for young ears!

A picture is worth a thousand words...

For Cousin Ash!

The calendar girl has arrived...

She made the cover, ok they all did but she does stand out as the cutest!


She is Miss July her birth month and she is also the centerfold.

This has her likes, dislikes and dreams. She likes singing, dancing and painting. She dislikes needles, MRI's and Mean people (this is basically Dr. Avery the needles and MRI's). Her dream is to be an artist and to travel America in a custom bus. She would also like to drive a John Deere.

Our train for WYWY!

The train under the tree.


YES! It goes under and thru my coffee table.


The other side of the tree.

Our Advent...

countdown.

Let it SNOW!

Can you say BLIZZARD? Maybe tonight if the weather channel is right!

HEY Kids! You favorite song with the video...

It's a BOY!

CONGRATS! To Cousin Tosh, David, Corbin and Hayden on the new addition. We are so excited that he was born today, it is also our Great-Grandma's birthday. She is 91 years old today! May he have a long, healthy and happy life.

Happy Birthday Hayden!

We love you!

OH Grandpa Larry...

how I love my pie, just like you!

Like my dad. I love to lick the bowl! Of course, he licks chocolate cake.


We recently watch mom's favorite movie "A Christmas Story" I'm showing her how a piggy eats.


YUMMMY! My smile say's it all! Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanksgiving...

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did. We continued the tradition of putting the tree up the day after and the kids spent Saturday morning putting up some decorations. We still have things to do but here is a brief look.


I was trying to get a picture of the kids with dogs in front of the tree. What goofy kids we have.



My only "kid" who is picture ready. See her smile and how she keeps her eyes open?!


Oh, and tonight we have been blessed with SNOW! It may finally start to feel like Christmas.

Greetings from Jeff...

Typing with teens...

even our teenager thinks it is cool!

Why we homeschool...

because our kids have old souls. Hannah has been wanting one of these since she saw the Kit movie. Finally after much hunting I found one at a thify store, actually Jarod found it. I was opening up a more modern typewriter (one you plug in) when Jarod found this one.

A "Remington 1956 letter riter" YES! I did spell that right! Nic, does this count as a dobby deal? I paid $15.95, can you get a computer for that price? OK, I know it doesn't connect to the internet, but it does connect us to the past and that is priceless!

Our "Gracie Burns" writing her life story and boy is it good! Do you like her hair? She had a hat on and took it off. You just have to love hat hair!

In case you are wondering, she also loves to listen to my collection of records and is getting a nice collection of her own. A few "new" ones she has added is Disnay's Mary Poppins, Cinderella and a few other Disney Classics, like I said old soul.

"George Burns" writes his life story and it is FUNNY!

Love for a Grandpa!

Birthday boy and yep you guessed it, his grandpa.


A little angel and the love of her life, ok one of the loves of her life.

Happy 11th Birthday Jarod!

Grandpa and Hannah enjoy a cupcake!


Some new Bakugan's for Jarod's collection.


A nerf dart set from Grandpa Larry and Grandma Judy!

I can't believe Jarod is 11. The time has gone by so fast. Soon he will be driving and dating. While Art is cleaning of the shot gun for the girls, I think I will buy a six shooter and learn to fire for "my" boy! hehehe! Love you Jarod and I am so proud of the young man you growing up into. Mom

Here comes's the Bride...

Sarahbeth as Abby...

So, Sarahbeth and I keep looking at her face in the FALA*WEEN post. We just could not figure out why she was round and red in the face, until last night. That picture was taken Friday and on Thursday during lunch a friend gave Sarahbeth a cookie. Sarahbeth took a bite and then spit it out (ok gross fact, but true!) What she tasted and the friend didn't know in the cookie were nuts. We thought she would feel just a little off as she did not eat them but we were wrong. She ended up home from school for 2 days and returned yesterday. OH how I hate those stupid little nuts!

More Halloween!

Our 3 great kids. I should let you know Sarahbeth wasn't feeling well and still isn't. She doesn't look happy in any of the photos I took of her.


Jarod's Frankinstein boy! Look how he can cross his legs!


Phantom Pumpkin, 1 of 6 pumpkins we craved.


Our ghost pumpkin, I think Sarahbeth did this one.

Halloween...

This is Sarah Elizabeth's friend Sara Elizabeth painting Hannah's face for Halloween.


Our very pretty Blue Fairy!


Our "drunk" Blue Pirate!
