I am so sorry its been so hard "to keep up with the jones' " Any of you that have wondered why they didn't receive a Christmas card its because we didn't send one. I am so sorry. I don't know about anyone else but this Christmas season Nanita has been exhausted. I always have two trees up, my pretty one and the boys. All we have is the boys tree up. They did a beautiful job decorating it.


I only made one kind of Christmas cookie. Well I think you get the point. I am going to let this be my way of telling you that I hope you all had an amazing Christmas. If your reading this then know how blessed we feel to have your friendship and we love you all and hope to get together soon. If your a family member ( I am sorry) know how lucky we are to have so many people who love us. We love you all so much and treasure our time with each of you.

Let me recap the year for you especially for my family and friends back east. I miss you all deeply.

TYLER- Tyler began kindergarten this fall :( We received an amazing teacher, Mrs lamb. We are truly thankful for her. Its been so neat watching him grow he is beginning to spell and read words. Most days he enjoys school, he has lots of friends and even his little girlfriend. He played soccer this fall and was really good. ( I guess I am a little biased) I definitely think he got his daddy's abilities in soccer. Thankfully not mine. ( right mom?)
He has brought so much joy to our family. He has a heart that is so big and caring, he often brings tears to my eyes. His smile and the twinkle in his eyes is enough to make your heart melt.

CHASE- Chase began preschool this year. He did great, not one day of tears. He also has two great teachers, Mrs Jackie and Mrs. Ruth. He continues to amaze us how much he is learning and loves to learn. When Tyler does homework he loves to join in. He has made a friend that he just loves. His name is Tanner and loves having play dates with him. He as well played soccer. This age is so fun to watch, they all just run together. He as well brings amazing joy to our family. He has such spunk. He has the funniest facial expressions. He enjoys trying to take care of Carson, although Carson wants no part of that.

CARSON- Well Carson's biggest news for the year is that the hole in his heart has closed. Praise God!!! Thank you all for your prayers for him. His biggest achievement you ask. HE IS FINALLY WALKING and crying is less and less everyday. He took his first steps at 17 months. He did not play soccer this, but he was boys' biggest fan. I must tell you though that he would walk around the field kicking a soccer ball. He was at all of their games cheering on the side lines. This little man brings a lot of laughter to our family. He is going to be our clown for sure. When he doesn't want to do something he lets you know for sure. He is beginning to talk, not a huge vocabulary but he is saying some things and mimics what you ask him to. He is already trying to join in with the boys. Loves to try and wrestle with them. There is nothing that they do that he definitely doesn't try to do.

CHRIS- I think the most exciting thing that happened to chris this year is I am not pregnant and we didn't have a baby. Our boys are our biggest blessing in life, but were done. ( for now) He continues to sell realestate, and still loving it. i must thank you all for your support whether it was through buying or selling your house through Chris ,or even if you referred someone.
Chris has begun a new adventure in life. If any of you know Chris you that he has a very entrapeneur kind of mind. I am glad he is able to this do this. He and a friend are putting out a new magazine called HRN, home refferal network. keep your eyes open for it. Or give him a call and let him tell you about. We are all so proud of him.
I am so thankful to Chris, he works so hard so that I can stay home and eat bon bons, and watch my soaps:) Seriously, he does amazing job providing for our family so I can do what I want and thats to be home with our three little boys. Chris is still enjoying playing basketball, and is still quite good. He had fun helping coach tyler's soccer team.
