My wonderful cousin Jordan Falslev Has picked up Photography. He is quite a talented kid. He took our family pictures and I think they turned out great.

Jordan you are so talented. We are so proud of you!

I hope your whole life is one beautiful dance!

I am so excited and grateful for Brylee being able to have the opportunity to take dance. She has always been my little dancer! She was so funny when I took her shopping for her dance clothes and shoes. She kept kissing my hand and telling me “Thanks mom!”. Last night I told her she needed to get to bed and get some rest so she could go to dance in the morning. She went right up to bed and went right to sleep. When I dropped her off at the dance studio I didn't expect to get so emotional. She went right up to her class and was listening to her teacher right away. It made me realize my baby girl is growing up so fast! C.J. wasn't to happy either. He didn't like leaving Brylee there. He kept saying “Brylee Brylee” in the saddest little voice till we went and picked her up. If CJ and I got so emotional about taking her to dance I can't imagine how I'm going to feel when she starts school on Tuesday! :( But the good news is that Brylee loved it! I love you so much Bylee. I hope your whole life is one beautiful dance!

Sledding on New Years day!

I know it's sad but my kids had never been sledding before. So on New Years day. Justin and I decided to take them to a little hill. My mother in-law Bonnie came with us. It has been so long since I have been sledding I don't remember the last time I went. Brylee loved it, but every time she went down by herself she would lay down and close her eyes. She would say it was scary but then wanted to go again. I'm not sure what Carl thought of it. He didn't cry but kinda had a scared look on his face every time he went down. We had a really good time. It was fun watching Bonnie play in the snow with the kids and pour Justin got his exercise hauling the kids up and down the hill. It was well worth it. I can't wait till we go again.

Our wonderful Christmas!
