West Virginia Christmas in 2010

Karson's sleeping pattern!!

Darrel and I keep mentioning of journaling Karson's sleeping habits. So I figure the best way is to blog it. Not sure if anything is wrong with my sweet child. But he does have some weird sleep patterns. We think it is comical also. The following pictures are in the same night within 20 mins of each other. And we also put him back into a reg position, came back and he is laying crazily again.

2010 CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

We finally finished our 2010 Christmas ornaments. I like the tradition that we do every year. I hope we continue to do an handmade ornament for years to come. The boys enjoy doing the crafts. And I let them do the crafts by their selves. I don't try to make everything turn out better or prettier. They are perfect just the way they were made. And it shows the true talents of a 4 year old. This was a two day process. The first day we had to mix flour, salt, and water together. Then we got too roll the dough out, and we each had turns with the rolling pin. The boys picked out their favorite Christmas cutter. And off we go!! We made stars, Christmas trees, bells, snowman, gingerbread man and women, stockings, and candy canes. The boys had a blast cutting the dough and putting the shape on the pan.(some of the shapes did not hold, but it was fun!!!) We had to place the pan of shapes into the oven at 250 for 2hours; flipping every 20 mins. The next day, we finally was able to paint. They already had it their mind, to paint some pink, to place on mommy's girly tree. I made a big boo-boo though. I forgot to make holes into each shape before cooking. OOPS!!!

DARREL & KIM'S BIRTHDAY 2010

Another year passed, and another year of getting older together. We had our traditional birthday celebration. On the 1st (which is Darrel's birthday) I cooked his favorite dinner and cake. Baked spaghetti and Chocolate Eclair!! On my birthday (2nd) we went to Mccadenville(Christmas Town U.S.A.) We go to Mccadenville every year on either his birthday or mine. The boys love looking at the lights. And so does Darrel and I. Something special about hearing your kids yelling out the window "Merry Christmas" to people driving by or walking by. This year we manage to go through 4 times. Jackson was getting upset because no one would say "Merry Christmas" back to him. Finally on the 4th time going through, these older ladies were walking bye. Jackson yelled "Merry Christmas" and the ladies yelled "Merry Christmas" back at him. Jackson giggle and said "Okay we can go now" and then proceeded to say "old people said Merry Christmas" Karson was super excited and crazy that night. He got a little rambunctious and started SCREAMING "Merry Christmas" I saw the scariest face on a lady as she drove by us, and her face was directed towards Karson screaming. It was wonderful. My mom and dad had a birthday dinner for us on the 4th and also got us a cookie cake. Which the boys ate most of. Karson couldn't understand why we didn't have a birthday party.

Funny Quotes from the boys #2

Here are some more funny little things my babies say.

12/20/2010 Jackson tells me that my driving is freaking him out!
Jackson asks Darrel if Santa Clause will bring presents under the tree, eat cookies, and drink his milk. Darrel said "YES". Jackson replies with "EXCELLENT!!!"


12/18/2010
Per Karson: Santa clause and put candy in his stocking tonight. I said "NO Karson, he did not" Karson :"YES HE DID" Karson goes and grabs his stocking digs in it, and bring out candy canes. The whole time he is laughing, while no one was looking, he was sneaking candy into his stocking!! Crazy kid of mine!!



12/17/2010 Karson got some gifts from school today. He said "Santa clause did not bring me a bike" Jackson: "Karson a bike is not going to fit into that bag" Karson :"Jackson, it could be waiting for me outside!!!"

11/30/2010 We were in the boys room about to put them to sleep. Jackson took something away from Karson. Karson yelled out "Jackson Darrel Neeley, You AGGRAVATE me!!"

Darrel and I were sitting in the bedroom while we here Jackson screaming!!

Darrel : What is wrong Jackson?
Jackson: I got pee in my eye!!
Darrel: How did you get pee in your eye?
Jackson: It just squirted me!!
Me: Laughing too Hard!!

We went to Hallmark this past weekend to look for the boys their annual CHRISTmas tree ornament. While we were there, Karson notice the book that has the recordable voice to it. Last year Jim bought the boys "TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS" and he recorded his voice to that book. So Karson proceeded to open the book and listen to the words. And he turn towards Darrel and I and said "But mommy this isn't papa jim's book" So innocent!!!

Jackson decided to tell me one day that Jesus and God does not like time outs. I asked him what about spankings? Per Jackson: "Spankings are really really bad"

Karson was in my closet today, and he notice I had some gifts that needed to be wrap. He asked what present was for who. I told him exactly which present goes too. Then he looks at me and saids "But mommy, you are not Santa Clause!!!"

HALLOWEEN 2010

Halloween has became a 3 day event around here. We started off on Friday going to MAFC to their annual spooktacular event. The boys have a ball every year. They get to play games and earn prizes. Great theme this year, the boys decided to do Toy Story. Karson was "buzz light year" and Jackson was "Woody" Each character fit the boys personality's to the tee.

On Saturday we decided to go down to SC to go trick or treating door to door. The boys had a blast and score great candy!!!

On Sunday the 31st we started off at mom and dad's church for their trick or trunk. The boys love playing at their church. But we had to leave early and head to our church for their Halloween event. Great turnout at Lee Park. So fun seeing the boys dressed up!!!

ART WALK 2010

Little things is what makes me proud to be a mommy! Tonight we went to the boys pre-school for their annual ART WALK. Love going through the hallways and looking at my precious boys art work. They were so excited to show us, what they have been working on.

We looked at Karson's wall first. His class had their pictures on an apple tree, and each kid was an apple. Of course Karson has his smirk in his picture. They also had what each student wanted to be when they grow up. Karson had two occupations. He wanted to drive a fire truck and be a doctor. Sounds just like Karson. Mrs. Tuttle and Mrs. Chambers also made a Owl's nest with exactly what an Owl would use. Karson loved his little owl.























































After we spent time with Karson, we went to Jackson's wall. Jackson made a pumpkin mache', he was very proud of. A spider made out of mold clay and pipe cleaner. He painted a picture with frame, that he said was a camera. And he made a book about spiders. Each page was specifically dedicated too a spider life. What a great imagination he has!!!
