We all worked together to make the little one's a sandbox for Christmas

Jeff working with the little ones to take the dog's pen down that never actually kept them contained because they just dug out! This is where the sandbox will go since it will be nice and shaded in the summer.


And of course Logan had to take a break from all the hard work to play.

Daulton and Damien working together!! It warms a mother's heart!!! ;-)
Lexi did her part by being cute!

We really wear them out around here!

I came in the other evening to this:

And a close up of Jeff and Lexi because they are so precious!

More to the story behind the tree

My friend at work thinks I should tell the whole story behind the tree.

I got off work and called Daulton as I normally do. I said, "So what's going on?" Daulton kinda goes hmph and chuckles saying, "Nothin' really." I immediately get suspicious and ask what he is doing. He tells me, "I got our Christmas tree, momma." I asked him what he was talking about and he tells me he found a tree in the woods (beside the house) and he brought it home. I said, "Daulton, you can't cut those trees down!" He tells me, "No momma, it was already chopped down, it was laying there with a rope already beside it and everything! It was calling my name momma!!!!"

So I pull up to the house to this big thing in my yard! There's never any telling what I will come home to. Hmmm, now that I think about it - that must be the way Jeff feels since he has come home to no front door when I decided to switch two doors, a new wall when I decided I needed a laundry room, a closet in the little boys' room when there wasn't one there when he left that morning, etc. Poor guy!!

Daulton has found his Christmas Spirit

Daulton found this HUGE tree in the woods next to the house and drug it all the way home. We have decided that since the little ones always get into the tree in the house, this will be our tree this year (outside). Some of their friends came over to help decorate.

















Daulton and Damien decorated the house with lights. We have never had lights on the house before so the boys took it upon themselves to make sure we did this year. That is Daulton's truck in the middle...yes, he even decorated his truck. Can you imagine what he looks like going down the street?






This is the above pic with a flash so that you can see Daulton's truck.

Just a few random pictures

I have to put onesies on Lexi now because she has figured out how to take her shirt off. She's so proud of herself!








































These are several days apart. She gets mad and lays down to whine until someone comes and picks her up. We have been ignoring her so twice now she has fallen asleep like that.
















































Aren't they cute!!!!








My big boy cooking!

Halloween Pictures

This is my favorite picture of all time of Damien and Daulton!!

The boys had a great halloween. Jeff took the kids trick or treating with Tiffanie (our neighbor) and her little boy. The boys also got together and made pumpkins.
