The Wood Stove


The wood stove is finished. Keller was able to get it finished right before New years day. He balanced getting time off and the cooperation of the weather and was able to get it done. That first fire was a huge family celebration. We all sat there for a few hours just enjoying the blessing of the fire place and heat. Keller did a wonderful job and worked so hard on it. Now we are on to finishing the kitchen and working on painting the kids rooms.

Gracie and her american girl doll.



Gracie just started a class at our home school co-op called American girl. I passed down my American girl doll to her and she just loves it. In this picture she and her doll Kirstin are both wearing their bonnets. Gracie's bonnet is from Meemaw and Boppa. They bought it for Gracie from the Amish. Ashy had to get in the mix too. =0)


Is that Spider MAN????????



I just have to say I think these pictures speak for themselves.

ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gracie turns 5!!!!!!!






Has it really been 5 years already?????? We can't believe she is already so big and turning into a sweet little lady. For her birthday this year we did it something different. Instead of a party we went to the Sacramento zoo and a couple fun parks right around it. We all had a wonderful day filled with fun and laughter. We finished off the day going to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner and then to a fun toy store where Gracie got to pick out some presents for her birthday. She told me "my birthday was better than expected". =D

Bath time



Ashy got a pretend shaving kit for Christmas so he could be just like daddy. It was so cute to see him playing and trying to shave his little baby face. :)
