Christmas

I know its a little late but we have been busy!!! So here are some of the Christmas pics there are just so many that I cannot post all of them. We had a wonderful Christmas and a Great New Year!! Lee has started a new job and he is home at night and on the weekends for the most part. There is some that he has to work but not many. The kids and I have really enjoyed him being home and able to eat dinner with us and help with bed time routines.

Sha-Sha bought all of the kids dress up outfits and this was his. Here is Melvin as a Construction worker. He looks like his Daddy and Granddaddy.

Here is my little Doctor John. He goes around the house giving everyone pretend shots.

This is Jacob the Train Conductor, it just so happened that Santa Clause brought this Train set to him for Christmas.
And last but not least Our Little Princess Alison dressed up as Snow White. Isn't she pretty.
Uncle Brady went to Colorado over Christmas Break and they bought this Frog hat for him so when they got home Brady gave to Jacob "The Frog Boy" as we call him.

I will post more pictures in a little while, we have started Basketball and I have alot of action shots from that. The kids are really enjoying it and John, Jacob and Alison's coach calls Alison their star player. She gets out there and really knows how to dribble the ball and last week she made her first goal. I am glad that they enjoy going out there and having fun. I will talk to everyone soon.

Love,

Lee, Brandy, Melvin, John, Jacob & Alison

Santa Pictures

Hey we went to Prairie Lights the other night, which is a drive through Christmas Lights Park. While we where there we was able to see Santa Clause. The kids had a Blast and really enjoyed all of it. There were rides and games. As a family we really enjoyed the night. I hope everyone is getting ready for Christmas. Talk to everyone soon.

Christmas Picture

Hey here is the Christmas Card Picture that we took the other day. We would have included Lee and Myself but Lee was back out of town and rather than including me and the kids I just decieded to do one of the kids. I hope everyone had a wonderfull Thanksgiving and is getting prepared for Christmas, I know my guys are ready for Santa... After taking this picture I had to take Alison and Jacob to the Dr's because they were running a little fever and Alison told me her throat hurt, my worst fear came true, we had Strep Throat, as of today I just had to call my Pediatrician to get them to call in some more Prescriptions because Melvin and John are showing the signs of it. Also Melvin is coughing so bad today that we are having to do breathing treatments as well. Hopefully after this weekend we will be feeling better and everyone can go to school next week.. Talk to everyone soon.

Melvin's Thanksgiving Activites

This game is they had beans in a basket plate and they were red on one side and white on the other. The kids held the baskets up and let them fall and then colored how many beans on the plate were red on a piece of paper.

Melvin had some Thanksgiving Activities today at School here are some of the pictures that I had taken. This one is him wearing his colar and hat.

Counting Cranberries he had to predict how many that he would be able to pick up with just one handfull. He said 4 but he got 13, he under estimated his hand size.
At this activity they are learning how the Pilgrams churned their own butter. The kids did it by shaking whipping cream in baby food jars.
This was just a game that maybe the kids would have played back then. Tossing a piece of cloth in the air to see how many times that they could hit it up before it hit the ground.
This one they were making Cornbread to eat later with their homemade butter.
I enjoyed watching play and getting to see him in school. It definantly was a fun experience. Now he is off for 1 week for thanksgiving break. Yeah!!!

Love,

Lee, Brandy, Melvin, John, Jacob and Alison

Little Boy in the Hood

I just could not resist taking this picture Jacob looked so cute with the hat on.

Jacob did not want to take this picture and I had to take it. He was telling me no pictures, no pictures.

Football Party

We had our end of the year Football Party tonight. We had lots of fun, he recieved a Trophy, a Bucket with lots of fun goodies in it, another bucket with some Popcorn and a new football. A special Thanks needs to go to Nana Sha Sha for watching John, Jacob and Alison so that this day could be all about Melvin. We have an activities at school this Friday for Thanksgiving so I will post new pics then. I hope everyone has a wonderfull week.

Love,
Lee, Brandy, Melvin, John, Jacob & Alison
