Just Trying To Catch Up Vol. 2

January 4th was the last kids day of Christmas Break. I let them choose where we were going for lunch. They chose Strawns. We really enjoyed our time with each other!

Sweeties

That evening was church. Caden does not like to go to his classes so a lot of the time we just let him stay with us. Especially on Wednesday nights. It's late and just not worth the fight. I think he is a bit of a handful for the teacher in there anyways. He sat on my lap and snuggled most of the time. When he got on Anthony's lap I decided to take a picture so I could remember his sweetness. He is getting so big but he is still our baby boy!

January 5th Some of my friends and I decided to go out for Kari's Birthday. She chose painting with a twist. It was so much fun! We all really enjoyed ourselves. I look forward to going back again soon.

Jenny and I starting our art work!

Our group ~ so fun!

My finished art. I surprised myself and I think it turned our pretty good. Anthony even thoughts so and wanted to hang it on the mantle!

January 6th My Sister and Brother in Law came in town to bring Elijah and Sarah to us. They are going to be here for one day short of three weeks. While Brandy and Chris go to Brazil for their first survey trip. They are called to be missionary's there.

Anthony and all 5 of those kiddos

Anthony and I (both of these pictures were taken when it was really too dark for the settings that I had on my camera so I played with them and edited the best that I could but they still aren't what I would like them to be)

The Bell's and The Smith's

January 7th ~ Brandy and Chris woke up and headed back to Oklahoma with Caleb. The kids were playing wii and told them good-bye. That was it I was expecting a lot of tears but am so thankful to not have had any!

All five kids playing the wii smurf dance party!
