Thanksgiving 2011

For Thanksgiving this year, we went to Grandma Vicki's house for dinner on Thanksgiving evening and then went to Grams and Gramps Wilson the Saturday after Turkey Day. We had a great time with family during this holiday! Not sure why I didn't have my camera out at Grandma Vicki's to get the kiddos playing so good with their cousins, but here are a couple from the Wilsons. OH, and Jasper gave his cousin, Perri, a lesson in "boy parts" this year. He was going to the bathroom and Perri (who is Jasper's age) saw him and said "you stand like my daddy stands and that's what my daddy has." To which Jasper replied, "it's called a penis, Perri!" Never forget that one!

Happy Girl!

Avery is such a happy go lucky baby! Here are a few smiles!

Drool-Master

So, Avery is quite the drooler. I got a good picture of what our clothes or arms usually look like after holding her for a little while - notice the large wet spot on adam's shirt :)

Christmas Lights

Jasper helped Daddy put up this year's Christmas lights and he even got to climb on the ladder. He loved it!

Feeding Sister

Jasper has started to enjoy feeding Avery. Although it's usually short-lived and mommy and daddy take over, but it's a start!

Bondurant, Here We Come!

Well, we finally made it official and will be making Bondurant our next home where the kiddos will grow up! We have purchased a lot and will be closing on it late December. Small catch, though...we still have our house to sell, so there won't be a house on the lot until our house sells, but hopefully w/in the next 12 months, that will happen and we can start building. We've found a builder and a plan for a simple 2-story that will give us some more room for when Avery will join Jasper on his many adventures of playing Super Heroes and making forts around the house! It's a couple blocks from Jman's best girls/daycare friends - Quinn and Delaney, and family friends, the Klines. Plus, it's not too far from Issa's house!

We're excited! Seems like we've been talking about the next stage and doing house stuff for the past couple of years, so it's nice that things are starting to move and will hopefully take shape for us in the coming year!

I'll take a picture of the lot soon and post :)

Happy Birthday Noah!

We headed over to Grandma Vicki's to celebrate Noah's 12th Birthday. Can't believe he is 12! Jman was pumped because he had a soccer cake complete with soccer guys and two goals. He was a little bummed that there was no "coach" on the cake. He had envisioned that his cake would include a giant coach for some reason :) Anywho, Noah got a guitar, bass, and was going to use his bday money for an amp. Happy Birthday, Noah! We love you!
