we're soaring...flying

uncle rex and aunt leanne are the coolest!! they rented a plane and flew down to clifton to take our family up for a ride. the kiddos were so excited. we flew over our house, the town, the state park, and the kid's school.

the girls went first

can you see the excitement?

jack loved it! he talked about "uncle rex's plane" all day long

the boys' turn

it was a day we will remember forever. thanks aunt candy and unclelicious!!!

my first fire

we got home from church last night and the kiddos wanted to build a fire. they were even willing to brave the cold to go out and get some wood. colin wasn't home, but i ventured out on my own. the result was success! my first fire...

live nativity

one of the fabulous things about being in a small town is the community supporting the local church. fbc had full support of the town to read the story of Jesus' birth and reinact it in the park downtown. afterwards we sang Christmas carols.

mackenzie and reese were heavenly hosts.


jackson was toddler Jesus (when the wiseman came).

in the age of having to be politically correct all the time, it is nice to be in a place where we can celebrate Jesus without apology.

my little charmer

this little guy is such a ladies man. he doesn't like to leave the house without his hair spiked up and wearing his dad's cologne.
