............!!

Wow, where has the year 2009 went. So hard to believe that 2010 is just right around the corner. Looking back I have so much to be thankful for. It has been a very eventful year full of excitement, sadness, hurt, anxious, happy and everything in between. I hope everyone can take the time out of their busy schedules and think about the passing year. None of us know when our time is over, live each day to the fullest. Don't let the small things get you down, just pass them over and move on to bigger and better things!

I have many pictures of post of my sweet babies birthday party and Christmas. Hopefully with the day off on Friday I will be able to get those done. We had a WONDERFUL Christmas....white and all. Isaac had tons of fun opening presents but then wanted to play with each one immediately. Things are still in boxes as we have not had time to get everything out. My goal is to do that this evening. I don't think he will have any trouble having new things to play with.

I take this time to wish each and every one of you reading this (family, friends, and even those blog stalkers) a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May the new year be bright and wonderful as we make our way into 2010. (Is it just me, or is it hard to believe it has been 10 years since Y2K) Wow, I remember that like it was yesterday:-)

Christmas Pictures

Even though getting pictures of 3 kiddos is quit the challenge we did get some pretty good ones. So hard to believe that this will be Isaac's 3rd Christmas. I am really looking forward to the holiday season and starting some special traditions with my little boy! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Mr. Handsome

Cutie

Oh yes, all 3. The only "good" picture we got of all 3 kids in their church clothes. Thanks to MeMa for making their outfits. We think they are extra special!!


Abby and Molly showing off their matching dresses. Thanks MeMa!

Not knowing what to think about the sled. Not really wanting to smile at the camera either!

LOVE IT!!! Isaac checking something else out, Molly wishing he would get with the program!!!!

Abby and Molly getting ready for a sleigh ride together. Showing sisterly love!


In their matching shirts, thanks to Kohls. Kim was able to get Abby's in the store and ordered Molly and Isaac's online. Love Isaac's pose!

Time for bed. This was the ONLY picture we got with their Christmas PJ's. The kids were done for by this point. It was a miracle to get this one picture with them all looking down at the book. What is so hard about sitting still and smiling, if it were only that simple. After this picture we loaded the kids up in the car and MeMa took them home. Kim and I were able to pick our pictures out in peace and quiet, thank goodness!!!

Oh yes, that time of the year!!

As you have noticed I have changed my background to reflect the best time of the year, Christmas. I am so looking forward to Christmas this year. This will be Isaac and I's first actually Christmas together in our own home! I can't wait until next week to get all our Christmas stuff our and up. I am hoping he will enjoy it as much as I!! I am planning on getting the outside lights up this weekend. It is supposed to be warmer and no rain! What a better time to do it? So, looks like I better get busy posting some updated pictures. Maybe some pictures of our holiday progress. We wish each and everyone a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving. Don't eat too much turkey...yum!!!!!!! God Bless:-)

UPDATE: Home Run Baby

Go on and jump over to baby Stellna's blog and read all about his Home Run. After nearly dieing, Stellans doctors had to perform an emergency ablation (a day sooner that planned) to try to kill the extra value. It was a very risky serious surgery. So many things could have happened such as pacemaker dependent for the rest of his life or death. I am doing the story no justice but it was a true miracle. The procedure was a complete success and there was no other damage done and they tried 2 days later to put him into SVT and it DIDN'T work!!! So they officially hit a home run and Stellan is now home and a healthy little boy with NO MORE SVT!! Still go to his sight and read all about him and him awesome family! They are sure great people.

Stellan

Stellan is VERY sick and is in need of lots of prayers. Please include Stellan and all the sick children in your prayers. If you feel led, please click on Stellan's button and read his story. It is quit lengthy but well worth the time it takes to read it. Good Bless Everyone.

Nowlins Corn Maze

Last Sunday the weather was beautiful so we decided to make our trip to Nowlin's Corn Maze. The maze was a lot of fun. We pushed Isaac and Molly in strollers and Abby walked and picked up fallen corn!! Kim and I were tired after finally reaching the exit. There was plenty of room to push the strollers but it was kind of a challenge too!!! I took the opportunity to get some pictures and I think I went a little over board. All the kids had their "Halloween" outfits on but before we left home Molly decided to get into the Vaseline and lets just say, she had it ALL over her. She had to have an outfit change so she didn't match but still cute anyway. Isaac's shirt says "Mummy says I'm sweeter than this candy". Can't read it in any of the pictures, but thanks to Mema we think it is pretty cute!!

After we exited the corn maze we made our first stop for some pictures. Probably the best ones. After this the two little ones figured out they could jump up and run away....ugh:-)

Something else much more interesting than Mommy/Auntie to look at apparently!

Of course everyone looking except Isaac decides to show me his gourd that he found...!

Sit down Isaac, please!!! He had other thoughts.

Something else much more interesting. I think they could hear the other kids going through the maze. We were right beside it.

Miss Molly, being so Innocent!


Isaac is such a lover. He loves to give kisses....



Again, one wasn't enough!


Aw, yes, and a kiss from Abby too!!


As we were walking up the hill to the corn pit we decided this was the perfect place to take another picture with all 3 kids. Guess what, Abby say so nicely the whole time while the other 2 ran around like wild horses!

Kim told the babies to pick up a pumpkin and bring it to her. (Her logic was that they were way to heavy for them to pick up because all the pumpkins there were pretty good size) Molly is trying her hardest to pick that pumpkin up. Isaac is trying to figure out which one he could pick up. But the funniest thing is that Isaac did pick up a BIG pumpkin and brought it to Kim and then looked at her all crazy when she started laughing and put it back!!!

The kids favorite part, the corn pit.

Where is everyone's legs????

Enjoying the hay ride. He wasn't too sure at first but then loved it and didn't want to get off!

Sporting his pumpkin that Laurie painted on his hand.

Speaks for it self!!

Isaac was scared of the scarecrow. Kim was trying to get him up there but he had many different thoughts. Lay on the ground and cry, just didn't capture it on a picture.

Aww, sisters....too sweet!

Pretty Abby, so hard to believe that she is already 5. Where does the time go?

Well, Isaac finally decided it was okay but he wasn't getting any closer.

Well, okay maybe I will sit up here only to play peek-a-boo!!

Boo!

Hey, where did ya go Auntie??

Abby, the little pumpkin!

Enjoying the hay pile. It was a lot of fun. Isaac climbed on top of the big bales and then slid into the pile. He loved it, something he could do all by himself! Made his very proud!

Molly trying to climb up. Poor thing is so stiff like her Daddy that she couldn't quit make it so we helped her so she could get into some of the fun!!

Ready...set...slide! Wheee:-)

Plop, wow, that was fun, lets do it again!

Molly thought she was WAY to girlie to get that dirty. She liked it on top where she was safe and clean! She did finally slide down and liked it ALOT!

Time to call it a a day. Loading up the car and Isaac decides he wants to go back up the hill to the corn pit....guess what, he wasn't happy when I chased him down and put him in the car. Poor thing, just wanted to play a little bit longer. He was fast asleep within 5 minutes of being back in the car though!!

We hope that everyone has a wonderful fall and safe Halloween. It is kind of hard to believe that this time of year is already upon us. Before I know it, it will be Isaac's 2nd Birthday and then Christmas........!

Papa visited the pumpkin patch and brought me some......!!!

...............PUMPKINS. Thanks so much to Bob Gerling we got Pumpkins. Isaac was so excited he couldn't hardly deal with himself. We got to pick out as many as we wanted...what fun!

Isaac and Papa, checking out all the pumpkins.

Isaac posing with the ones he picked out. Check out the BIG one, isn't it great. He got two, one for us and one for Kim and them! The kids love to play on it. Isaac gets so excited when he sees them....pun-kins, pun-kins, as he says!!

Enjoying the Beaters

I had to make a chocolate cake for work the other night and guess what, someone wanted to help. Here came the chair and "i help, i help". He helped pour in the ingredients, thought he was pretty big stuff. I let him have the beaters when we were done and he thought they were pretty yummy!!

Trying to get every last drop!

Oh, one more sport!!

Now what, I have this stuff all over my face!

CHEEZE!
