Christmas: Happy Birthday Jesus!

Many of you know that I have developed a knack for cooking. My most recent endeavors included baking treats in celebration of the birth of Jesus. Mom and I made cookies, buckeyes, fudge, and chocolate covered pretzels.

Christmas morning was a great reminder of God's love and generosity to us. He sent His only Son to earth for us. His precious gift to us is free. We show love to one another by exchanging gifts with others...one of my favorite gifts was a crib for my babies! Thanks Grandpa Steve and Grandma Linda!

Later on Christmas I went to Caeden's grandparents' house...we sat at the kid table...alone. Daddy kept his eye on Caeden.

We capped of a great weekend by going to the park and shooting hoops. It was a great time!


I hope you all are having a great Christmas celebration! Remember the reason for the celebration.

Happy New Year to you all!

Latest Journeys

"Following the Star" at Chaparral Christian Church. We met up with the Murphy family to take a journey to Bethlehem. I learned that a prophet told about the coming of the Messiah...Herod did not like what he heard...The shepherds were watching their flocks when an angel appeared bearing the of a Savior's birth...That the innkeeper had no room at the Inn...Wise men traveled a long distance to bring gifts to the Christ Child...And that night, in a stable, Mary gave birth to a baby son and they called him Jesus!

We headed over to the Los Angeles area to go visit Mickey and Minnie at Disneyland.





After a great time at Disneyland, we headed to San Diego to round out the trip. I got to see my good friend Daisy. We had a great time.








Merry Christmas!

Tea Time

Possessed? Maybe, but truly I was tired and hungry! I was being stubborn with my parents and not wanting to eat what they made for me...I can be one tough cookie! Cookie...I love cookie's!

We had a huge tea party. My babies had a great time!

So did Olivia!

Merry Christmas!

More Fall Fun

Lately, I have been really in to coloring and stickers. Back in October my Papa showed me how to put stickers all over their dog Izzy. Now I like to do the same thing to myself.


There is nothing like having a little sister. I am always telling my mommy and daddy how much I love her. Look close and you'll see my dirty feet. My feet are notorious for being dirt magnets.


On Thanksgiving, we went to Butler park with some friends to watch Daddy play football. He did a great job; he even scored a few touchdowns.


Later on Thanksgiving we went over to Caeden's grandparents' house for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast. I had so much fun running around with my buddy!

I really, really like to wrestle! "Daddy, I think that move is illegal!!!"

December is here! Wow how time flies!
