Will loves our neighbors horses. He recognizes their names & as soon as one of us says, "oh look, Shadow is out" Will makes a bee line for the fence.
You really have to watch him because he most definitely will try to crawl under the fence to go visit his friends.
The boy has no fear!

A New Year - A New Blog
On January 1st I'm going to be launching our new family blog! http://ryanandjudy.blogspot.com/ (Don't check it out yet - I'm still working on it!) So make sure you bookmark it or change your link to my blog!
I'm doing this for a couple of reasons. The main reason is because I want to get our last name off of our blog. I want to keep our blog "open" but don't want to reveal too much info about our family. In our current blog I've posted about where we live and our last name. It would be super easy for anyone out there to find us. I'm not really worried about that, but I want to be wise in protecting my children. So our new blog doesn't mention our last name and I'm going to be a little more careful about not posting exactly where we live. I'm NOT going to use code names for my kids or anything like that! I guess I could use the nicknames Ryan always gives everyone (he's famous for ridiculous nicknames) but I think it would confuse everyone if I started referring to Christian as "fishstick) or McKenna as "the little Mohican." Don't even ask! Truly I have no idea the story behind Christian's nickname! Just look at McKenna's hair these days and you'll understand hers.
All of this was set into motion a few weeks ago when I got a rather creepy phone call from someone whom I do not know. They did however know my name and exactly where I live. I told them they could talk to my husband and they hung up. I haven't heard from this person again, but it got me thinking and I just want to be wise. You can see how many hits this old blog has had and probably half of those are from people who I do not know. I would love it if every person who visited our site would leave a comment, but apparently that's not realistic. I even allow anonymous comments, in the hopes that it will encourage people to leave comments. Just to be fair, I will say that I don't leave a comment every time I look at some one's blog. It's too time consuming to keep up with. But I have left at least one comment on every blog that I read. So the author of that blog at least knows that I'm there! I'm certainly not upset that people don't leave comments. It would be nice if they did occasionally, but it doesn't really bother me. If it did I would just make the blog private and not worry about it.
The other reason for a new blog is that I love for things to be brought to completion! I've been working (since August) on turning our blog into a book and it's bugging me that I don't have a good stopping point. Now I do!
Thanks for bearing with me in all of this :) I'll still be posting on this blog until 2009!

Christmas Slideshow
Make a Smilebox slideshow |
This is the fastest and easiest way to share all of our Christmas pictures with you. I know this may not work that well for people with dial-up, but everyone else should be able to view this! Enjoy!

I'm Spending My Day....
Sitting on the couch
With a throw-up bucket
Holding my very warm little boy
who keeps telling me how cold he is!
Not the day I had in mind!
I have so much to do:
laundry
suitcases to unpack
Christmas to be put away
organizing
organizing...
and I've got to get a baby gate up on the stairs.
It's only a matter of time before McKenna takes a nose dive.
But gate installation requires a trip to the hardware store.
Not today!
So I'm going to grab a book and try to ignore the never ending DVD of Max & Ruby that Christian got for Christmas.
And I'm going to enjoy the fact that my rambunctious three year old wants to snuggle me!

Christmas is Coming!!!!
The Jesse Tree is getting full (you can't see all the ornaments because most of them are on the right side of the tree by Christian's head). I did NOT rearrange all the ornaments on this tree :)
We went to Daddy's work today for a Christmas party and when we were getting ready to leave Christian said; "Daddy when you get home it's family time." He loves our family time that we've had around the Jesse Tree this Christmas! This picture was from last night!

Rewind to Saturday Night
Uncle Tim with lots of presents
Hmmm...It looks like she's trying to get away!
I think McKenna preferred hanging out with Auntie Erin! Much calmer!!
Seven kids with sprinkles results in lots of great memories and just so you know, I still have green icing on some of my chairs! It was a great night and I'm so thankful the Brinkley's made the effort (they had quite an eventful trip) to come and see us! We miss them and love spending time with them!!
