Christmas Decorations for the Troops

Jamie's friend Kelly made a Christmas package for the troops that she had served with this year in Iraq. She had asked Jamie if the kids would want to make some decorations to put in it so Heidi and Jamie helped the kids make snowfakes and signs.

Aiden and Parkers Birthday Party

Aiden was afraid of Chuck E

Since Aiden and Parkers birthdays are only 3 days apart Lindy and I decided to take them to Chuck E Cheese. We went the Wednesday before Thanksgiving during the day, Erin and Kendall went with us. We did all the family parties at Thanksgiving so we wanted to do a little something special and they had a blast.

San Diego

Mom and I went to San Diego for her birthday in November for a long weekend. We had a really good time and the weather was beautiful. Kristy's nieces Kristina and Jessie Earick moved there so they took us out around while we were there.

Youngs Dairy

Satuday night Alix was at a sleepover so Mom and I decided to take Aiden to Youngs Dairy. It was packed so we didn't end up playing putt putt but we had a good time anyway. Aiden was still afraid of goats so he would not feed them but he loved playing on the tractors.

Zoo

We took the kids to the zoo on Wednesday they were open until 8:00 and since the weather was so nice I figured it would be the perfect time to go. Erin, Kendall, and her friend Rhea went with us it was quite the adventure we only took 1 wagon which with 4 kids meant fighting at every stop over who was going to ride in the wagon. It did give us some thing to laugh about with 3 girls in the group we knew there would be drama. The girls wanted to go go go, but Aiden would have been content to stand and watch the elephants and the big snake all day long. He studied everything closely he was afraid that he was going to miss something if he left. It was a really good day and we could not have asked for better weather.
