Christmas Day


Helping Great Grandma Ramsey feed the chickens.

Natalie loved her new shirt and the rose Danny gave her.

Natalie and her new cape. Each of the kids got a cape this year. The boys got Star Wars toys. Natalie got a Snow white Doll, shirt, snow globe, and movie. Grandma Ramsey gave them flash lights, and other gifts. They had so much fun opening their stockings and loved the watches, soda, and candy they found inside. The gifts seemed endless. We will have fun spending all the Christmas cash sent from Grandma and Pa Watson, Gandma and Pa Hooper, and Ramsey. Dave and Terri sent games and a necklace for me. Great Grandma Ramsey had all kinds of fun gifts and gift card for us. We spent the afternoon at Great Grandma Ramsey's house visiting with some of our extended family. It was a good Christmas, we just missed Joe.

Christmas fun part 2



Santa came by on his horse today. Natalie was the only one not taking a nap. The boys were napping last year when Santa came by. Maybe he will come by again another day when all the kids are up

Christmas 2009 fun





We are at Grandma and Grandpa Ramsey's for Christmas this year. We just got here yesterday and already having fun. Grandma's house is always fun, but at Christmas time it's crazy fun. The kids love having their cousins to play with, all Grandma's fun toys, the farm animals, and good food. Today we made ginger bread houses. Wil said his was an Airman Ginger Bread House for Daddy. He even put guns on it for shooting bad guys. That's the Christmas spirit!

Saying good-bye



Danny is hiding behind Joe.

We got up at 5:30 am to get to the airport by 6:00am. When we got there Joe's flight had been canceled. So we went back home for 3 hours waiting for the next flight. We were glad to have the extra time together, but it made the good-bye process drag out. We were allowed to go to the gate and stayed there until his plain took off, the kids liked that. The kids know Joe will be gone for a long time, but they don't understand what 6 months feels like, actually I don't either. I'm just sad right now, but I know we will be O.K. We have a lot to look forward to and we are so blessed.

Wil and Natalie Birthday




They turned 5 today. We had a party with a few friends. They loved taking cup cakes to their Pre-k class. All 3 of the kids call them "pup cakes"

I did a bad job taking pictures. We saw all but one of Joe's siblings and their families for Thanksgiving in Utah this year. It was a lot of fun.

Sea World 2009


We left the house early on our way to Sea World San Antonio.


Natalie feeding the dolphins


Wil Showing the dolphins his teeth.



This was the first time we have gone to Sea World without a stroller. The kids did great and walked the whole park. By about 3pm they started to wear out, but a little sugar and Diet Coke helped. I was not able to get the scan to attach, but we bought a funny roller coaster picture of Danny and Wil. They road a children's roller coaster together about 7 times. They loved it!

Halloween 2009




We had a great Halloween. A few nights ago we went to a trunk or treat party at our church and tonight we took the kids trick or treating. The weather was perfect and the moon was out. The kids had fun with glow sticks that Joe bought for them. They took turns ringing the doorbells. Danny always said "Happy Halloween" to the givers of the candy, it was so cute. He wore this dragon costume last year and wanted it again, we added face paint this time. Natalie was a black cat, and Wilford was Robin hood. I was proud of Wil's costume, yes, I made it. I can be handy. At one house a man scared the kids so bad that we just forgot about the candy and ran. He came out in a swamp monster costume growling and coming at Wilford. Wil was truly terrified. I thought it was a little too much for little kids, but then at the next house Wil did his best to scare the person who opened the door. I guess he got over it and wanted to get in on some Halloween fun too. The kids also loved handing out candy to other kids after we got home.
