Jail

W: Why are you going slow?

A: Because if a police officer stops me, he'll give me a ticket and I'll have to pay a lot of money.

W: And you'd go to jail.

A: No, I don't think so.

W: Yeah. I'd miss you. You'd go in the police car.

A: If a police man stopped me he'd take me to jail in his police car?

W: Yeah.

A: How would you and Jack get home?

W: I'd drive.

A: So, if the police man took me to jail in his police car, you would drive you and Jack home?

W: Yeah. I'd miss you.

A: Thanks, I'd miss you too.

Christmas 2009

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas this year. It was a quite one at home with just our little family. Ben was home and the boys seemed to enjoy that more than any gift they were given, and it was all I asked for!

Here's a little bit of our Christmas celebration.


*the video runs about 7 minutes but you get to see Will ride his bike at the end*

This is what I get for trying to get a picture of the boys dressed up together.

Ready for Santa

The Christmas tree is up...with lights...and ribbon...and finally ornaments. It only took a week to get that accomplished! Will and Jack are ready for Santa. Ok, so maybe more so Will than Jack, but we've made our visit to the man in red. Will has asked for an bicycle (that's white with "fire" on it {white & orange}) which he's getting. I'm hoping we'll be posting uber exciting photos and videos from that! When I asked Will what he was going to tell Santa that Jack wanted he said, "I dunno...a baby book?" Gee thanks kid, you're asking for a bike and all Jack should get is a book! =) Jack is truly a "jumping Jack", so he'll be getting a bouncing toy although I'm sure the wrapping and boxes will be all he wants.

Christmas Program

Here's a video I shot of Will's Christmas program at his daycare.



Sorry if some parts are a little shaky, I was holding Jack while filming.

Busy Busy Busy

It's been a couple of weeks and I have yet to post anything from Thanksgiving or Ben's graduation. And here it is almost Christmas and let me tell you, I don't have any more time than I did before! So, here's the review in photo form!

Really all the pictures I got from Thanksgiving were from an outing to the park!


Here's Ben's graduation, the snow, and our trip to Roswell where we ate in the UFO McDonald's, went to the International UFO Museum and Research Center (ha ha) and then we took Will to see the movie Planet 51.


Will has become a photo bug. Here's what things are like from his perspective.

10 months

Ok, so the time for Jack's 10 month photo came and went. With all the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving and Ben's graduation, I just forgot. So, when I get his 11 month photo up (which I will this time), just look at it, go back to the 9 month photo, and figure the 10 month photo would have been somewhere in between. Not like you'll be able to tell that much of a difference anyhow! =)

Will performs

After Ben left from his first visit home, Will made up a song which he occasionally stands in the window and sings.

"I miss my Daddy"

("I miss my Daddy. I miss my Daddy. I miss my Daddy.....and I want to hug him.")

And performing a gospel medley (sort of)


This starts as "This is the Day (that the Lord has made) and begins to transition into "I've got the Joy (joy joy joy down in my heart...). But he got distracted by the camera and wanted to watch himself. =)
