Kylie meeting Santa

Kylie met the first Santa at our bank party. She was so insistant she tell him what she wanted. And then made sure she knew where he was the WHOLE time.




Kylie took this picture of Grandpa (Susan's Dad) at the party. Notice the way Grandpa looks like the photographer is laying on the floor while taking his picture...NOT really she's only 3' tall (Tee hee)




Kylie took this picture of Gramma (Susan's mom) and Momma at the party.

Manipulation!!!!

GRRRRRRR!!!! I think I have lost the battle again about Kylie going to school! She has started melting down before we leave now! I don't want to push her but......I don't HAVE to have her go I just wanted the peace and quiet time for myself (and the socialization for her). I think so much of this has to do we me waiting until she was older and being an only child. If she didn't know any difference (started at a younger age) maybe it would be easier???? So I told her if she doesn't go to school then she's gonna take naps. Well she said "ok" and promptly went into lay on her bed. Oh well guess I'll put it on hold again and maybe try in the Fall when she's closer to 4?????? I guess I have plenty of time since she won't even start school till she's 6. Patiences is a virtue AGAIN! Geesh this parenting thing is frustrating some days!

We made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoo Hooo it's now midnight and we once agin stayed up long enough to ring in the new year (Montana time and all). We use to watch the ball drop in Time Square at 10PM and cheated a little with early celebrating

So here's to a prosperous new year...may your days be filled with sunshine, love and laughter!

All hands on deck!

Can you tell which one is Kylie's?

Redneck sled rides

Don't you wish you still fit into a shovel?!



Mark remembers his Dad pulling him around in a shovel too. That's REALLY hard to believe someone 6'6" could EVER be that small.

Momma says.....

Look but DON'T touch!

We have this great strand of old but new bubble lights. Kylie (and Momma) just love watching them bubble!
