It has been a tough year for many and because of some of our recent trials, Christmas was not what it has been. There were a lot of mixed emotions this year but overall, I have to say we were pleased. We had a chance to really count our blessings and look to the true meaning. We can't thank you all enough for your thoughts and prayers and Jackson can't thank you enough for all his new toys!! :)
Shay gave a great description of our night last night, so check out Shay Marie
that drum set is AWESOME! I've never seen anything like it! And the play vacuum - I had to laugh because yesterday in (crowded) Target I had to wait for this couple to finish realizing that the vacuum was a toy (duh - for $20) before they made way for me to pass by. Jackson SCORED!
Andrew found those drums for $20 at Big Lots. The cool thing is he LOVES the drums so much and he got another type from my aunt and uncle. It's more portable so it's perfect - he's set!!
I love the all these fun pictures. Jackson is so dang cute. Cannon had that same vacuum until one his friend's broke the handle on it. We used our vacuums side by side many many times.
"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings." --President Gordon B. Hinckley
The end of 1995 was the start of our life together. We took a break for two years in 1997, but once Andrew returned, we continued finding out who we were together and apart. We both ventured off to college but came back together again in 2003 when it was finally time to get married. Our first son was born May 20, 2006 and we love every minute we have with Jackson. Our second son, Ryan Wesley, was born February 15, 2008 and he is simply adorable. Both so wonderful yet so very different. We gained a daughter with the birth of our third child on January 13, 2009. Andi keeps us on our toys and we can't wait to see all she does! Our fourth child, Cole, was born March 2, 2011. This little man makes us all so very happy. We are grateful to God for our incredible family and all the joys and challenges they bring!
