Christmas With Kay And Eric

Christmas this year will be the first year ever to not be with my brother. He is going out to South Dakota with my Mom. I am a little sad about it, but there are many more to come. Kay and Eric will be gone this Christmas, so we celebrated with them on Sunday also. To see how much fun we had go here.

Good-Bye Kayla

Kayla left to go be with her soon to be hubby in North Carolina. Lisa had a open house for her so folks could come by and say good-bye. If you want to see this grand party you can here.

Breakfast With Santa

Breakfast with Santa is something that Jelly Belly in Fairfield offers for a very small price. You get breasfast, small gift bags, one on one time with Santa and he wife, Frosty, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, all of the other Reindeer, and Mr. Jelly Belly. They have a live kids band and Kelly the clown, she is great with the kids. Anyways I made a slide show and can't for the life of me figure out how to get it here it my blog. But if you click here you can , enjoy.

Candy Cane Lane

Good old Candy Cane Lane in Vacaville. It is funny how when you get older it doesn't seem to be as bright and long as it did when you were little. Ashton really enjoyed himself, he kept saying "wow, cool lights".

Wow, cool lights!!

What a Grinch this guy must be, the only house on the whole street to have ZERO lights or decorations.

Good thing they get a break on the PG&E for the season.

I miss Vacaville, but don't tell Daniel.

Ornament Making

My mom is great, she always did crafts with me, so I was trying to be more like her and let the kids make dough ornaments. Here is the first batch. The huge mess of decorating these ornaments coming to a blog near you.

Uncle Eric hard at work on a star tree topper.

Kirsten peeling off extra dough.

Uncle being silly, and making my kids do silly stuff.

What a sweet smile.

Yummy Levi's

My hubby love to wear short's, and I LOVE when he wear's levi's. His rump looks so sweet in them, what can I say, his milkshake brings all the girls to the yard. I asked if I could take of picture of it and he said yes.

And with his good humor he even did a second pose, I love him so much.

Sorry ladies he is taken! Yeah I am talking to all you lumber jack employess!!

It's All About Kirsten Tonight

Kirsten poop out because she can't hang with the big girl's.

The car wash is scary at 9 pm without your Daddy in the car.

Kirsten's picture of Mommy.

Mommy's picture of Kirsten.

Look how sweet she looks, but let me tell you looks can be deceiving. Kirsten is going though some educational times. She is doing what most kids do and this age or a little older but with Liese blood running in her veins. For those of you Liese's out there you know what I mean, let's just say it isn't the Brasher blood that seams to be the problem right now!! So Ricky had Ashton and Kelsey, so that left Jackson and Kirsten. I have really wanted to spend some quality time with Kirsten, and needed too. So after we ate at Ricky's and put the baby down it was almost 9pm. We left to go shopping in town. We went to Target and Wal-Mart, were all the tweekers were that night. We had a blast, it has been a while since I have been able to enjoy Kirsten, I always seem to be telling her what she can't do and arguing with her. She was PERFECT the hole night. We rolled up to the house at 12. She fell asleep on the way home so I had time to shock the whole night in before reality hit again once I walk in the door.

Sleep Over At Uncle Ricky's

Ricky's has wanted to take Ashton for a sleepover for a while now, and he finally got to do it. I don't know why but for some odd reason Ashton likes Ricky, I just can't figure out?

Then later in the day Kel's decided she wanted to go and have a sleepover with Alexis, Ricky's daughter.

When we went to drop off Kel's I remembered that Ricky had invited us over for taco with his Mom and Robert. So we ended up staying for dinner, which was nice to not have to feed my own family for once. The kids decided it would be fun to play tag in the freezing backyard. I only stayed long enough to snap a picture.

Thanks Ricky for taking half of the crew, it was a nice break. But I still don't like you all that much.

Grinch Night

Grinch Night is what the elementary school does to celebrate Christmas with the students and there family's, except that you can't say Christmas because it might offend someone. WHATEVER, it is only the day our Savior was born!! Anyways, Kel's sang a song, and boy does she like to be on the spot light.

Kirsten thought she was too cool to go the the elementary school now that she is in middle school.

This picture was tortures, no one wanted to do it, can you tell? To bad I am doing it anyway.

Cute little people.

Marshmallow suite, part of Grinch night is outside, so we had to bundle up.

It was a lot of fun, even though it started to rain which means we didn't participate in the outdoor activities. I almost forgot to put the video on, it is pretty cute.

27 Weeks

Every time I take the baby out of the bath and he is all wrapped up in his baby towel, he looks sooooooo sweet. And that sweet baby grin, I love it!

A Blessing

So as most of you know when I left Kellogg's full time I lost my insurance. I knew this was going to happen and had already got quotes from different company's so that we could transfer it over when I felt in September. However, it was a lot harder to get approved once you submitted all you medical records. I have been stressing about this and my step father Jim offered us something. He offered to pay the remaining balance that we can't afford right now of $630 a month for 6 months. This would be are Christmas gift!! I couldn't feel anymore blessed that this has happened, we really need insurance. Six months will give us time to either find a part time or full time job for me that offers benefits, or just another part time job to help pay the remaining balance, or the stores business pick up.

Since we have got this coverage last week, Daniel already went to the doctor for his ribs and back, not good news by the way. Jackson started to get caught up on his shots and had his 6 month well baby visit. Jackson and Ashton have had there flu shot and me and the girls will go an get ours when school lets out next week.

Jim, Daddy, I just want to say how much this means to Daniel and I. I am so thankful for your gifts, you have blessed us in so many ways. I love you.

It's What's For Dinner

So when I went to the doc the other day he suggested that I just puree what we are eating for dinner to feed to the baby. We were having chuck roast that had been cooking all day with carrots and potatoes in the crock pot. So I pureed them with a hand mixer, after I took this picture I had added some water and blended it a little better so it wasn't so thick. The girls and I sat around the table watching to see if Jackson would like it?

The answer is NO!!!!!

I think maybe because our food has so much more flavor then the jarred food from the store. I felt really bad, the carrots and potatoes were just like the stuff from the stores except it tasted good. I will try it again with different food and see what happens.

Invading Space

This time the baby seems to enjoy Ashton all up in his space, but most of the time not so much.

6 Month Doctor Appointment

I took Jackson in for his six month well baby visit today. Are you ready for this, he is 21 lbs 13 oz and 27 3/4 in long, and his head was 18 in!!! this is Daniel's baby for sure, a mini fathead,lol!! He is in the 97% for his weight and 88% for his height. All is well with the little guy, we will go in when he is 9 months to catch up on his shots.

Bunco Night #3

Bunco night was great, they just keep getting better and better in my opinion. I mesh well with almost everyone, I can be myself and it gives me sometime without any people attached to me, which it nice sometimes. It was pj night, however I do not wear pj's so I just went in some lounge wear so I would fit in. At every bunco so far the host will send you home with something, so this is what we got this month, so cute, Dice Diva's is our groups name.

Donna was the host this month and I would like to stay, you are a brave woman. She just had her baby 12 days ago and she still attended and had us all over to her house. It wouldn't have happened like that if it was me. Good Job Donna. I enjoyed visiting with you. We all miss you SO much.

What Are You Doing In There?

It really wasn't all that fun, and he was totally ashamed that I wanted to take a picture with him still in it. But I am sure it will happen again.

Oh No!! You Hurt The Baby

I was talking on the phone with the baby sitting next to me on the couch, he was propped up on some pillows. The phone rang so I reached over and picked it up and Ashton bit his little sausage finger while I turned my head. However the baby cry's different when he is hurt, so i looked and saw his little finger was red and wet with a tooth mark. Poor baby, if this happens again bad things might happen, lol.

Crossed Feet

Daddy, Ashton and Baby Jack all sleep with there legs crossed. Aren't his little pigs so sweet, I just want to eat them.

I See You

He thinks no one will notice him getting into the Jelly Belly's , yeah right.

Who Do You Think Is More Comfortable?

Hands down Ashton, Daniel can hardly see the TV.
