Where's Vern?

Instead of Waldo we are going to look for Vern.
Good Luck!

 

Merry Christmas 2012!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours! May you have a wonderful holiday and a fantastic 2013.

Vern is burying his sister in the snow!!! Yep, he is hoping we do not find her until spring thaw :-) 

This boy has an A in science?!?!?!?!

The sun is made up of fire and bombs!!!

Wonder what his teacher would say???
Vern is 12.

 

HUG & PRAY

Today I ask you to hug your kids and pray for the families suffering from the HORRIBLE shooting in Connecticut. Innocent children went to heaven today and we have no idea why...

Christmas time

There has been a lot going on in other areas of our life so Vern stories are short. It has been overshadowing almost everything else. This will hopefully be over soon and life can move forward. That aside, we have been preparing for Christmas. The kids were busy and put up two trees this year. We are hosting Christmas and the house will be full! We decided to put up two trees for the occasion. They look great. The kids did a wonderful job. It is not how I would decorate a tree but sometimes you just let things go and appreciate what the kids do for you. I still love it. Here is a picture of one of our trees.

 

Yesterday was package wrapping day. It took hubby and me ALL day to wrap. It was exhausting.  I am sure I could have gotten done an hour or so earlier but I kept having the four-legged children jump onto my lap and refuse to move.  Here is one photo taken by me. She is on my lap with a package partially wrapped on my knees. She would not leave. This went on all day.  The only way I could get her off me was to stand up. Yes, some packages were wrapped standing just to prevent the cling-on cat from depositing herself on me.

 

 

It was a good weekend and soon Santa will visit. I can't wait!!!!! I love Christmas.





Doing well.

Vern has been doing well lately. I received the following note from one of his teachers and it made me proud. 

Vern is doing a great job in Math! He really remembers his stuff and gets busy :0) Tell him to keep up the great work!

P.S. I enjoy watching him preform at church in the skits :0)

 

 

He is at a great age right now. He has a great personality and is really trying. I will take it! Teenage hormones will hit soon enough and this will all change but until then I am appreciating the good days with Vern.
