Britton's 10th birthday

We celebrated Ms. Britton Halee's 10th birthday on Dec. 9th as a family. We had a quick party after her favorite dinner of tacos and chocolate cake and ice cream.

She got a new coat because she is always freezing! (go figure) It has 4 layers, so I'm sure she will be plenty warm. The great aunts got her a stuffed bear and a cool snowflake necklace.

Mamaw and Papaw sent money and I found a beautiful Christmas dress!!

I think she felt celebrated. We sure love you!

Ethan's holy smile

Ethan recently lost his 4th tooth. It was hanging by one piece and I begged him to let me use some floss to pop it out. After a while of telling him it won't hurt, trust me, he let me work on it. Well, I didn't plan on the tooth sucking back into his head and taking the floss with it. Talk about a sad little boy. ugh... But thankfully, after a while of tugging, twisting and crying, we got the tooth and the floss out. Note to self, leave teeth alone! :)

visit to Great grandparents House

Over Labor Day weekend, we packed up the kids and headed over to Lander, Wyoming. It is about a 5 hour ride, but we visited Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Nicholls, Eric's mom's parents. We had such a great time. They live on a lot of land and have sheep and a fun fourwheeler. We also went and visited a place called, Sinks Canyon. The river goes under the ground and then comes back up about 1/2 mile down the road. We hiked down with Great Grandpa Nicholls and saw this really cool find in the earth. The kids loved crawling around on the huge rocks, and then we went down the road and found where it comes out of the ground again. It was a fun weekend for all of us!!
