Our Christmas

We had a great Christmas! Tommy's sister Michelle was able to come this year. It was great to see her. We started off with Christmas eve at my mom and dads house. We had dinner and opened our jammies. Christmas morning the kids where up bright and early. Emma got a camcorder, trampoline, and a new bright pink 22 gun. Brad got a motorbike, a new bb gun , and a pogo stick. Just to name a few ( the Mather kids got SPOILED this year!) Bella got a Leap frog activity table, and a Johnny jump up. For our family gift we got a WII with a ton of games to go with it including fit. The kids have done nothing but play.

Gingerbread houses

We made gingerbread houses last night. Brad is really proud of his. They both did a great job.

Beautiful Bella

Bella Michelle Mather is finally here!! She was a little late and we are so happy she is here. She was born on November 10th at 2:39 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 20 in long. She is amazing. She is one little girl that already has the whole family wrapped around her tiny little finger. Brad and Emma are just gah gah about her, it is so fun to watch them with her. She woke up this morning just as I got the kids up to get them ready for school. I went into find them both leaned over the crib giving her kisses. It was so cute. Tommy has turned into super dad, he has taken vacation days and it has been so nice to have him here to help and give him some great time to bond with his little Bella (he picked the name).

Cute cousins

We went hunting last weekend and this is a cute

picture of all of the cousins watching a movie in

our camper.

Homework

This is what our evenings look like. I can not believe how much homework my kids do! I am just grateful that I am able to be home when they get home from school so I can help them get it all done.

One cute, toothless boy!

Brad finally lost a tooth!! He has had a loose tooth for weeks now. He was so affraid it would hurt he would not let anyone touch it. Emma finally convinced him that Grandma was the best tooth puller, she pulled Emma's first tooth and it did not hurt a bit. So we went to Grandma's on Saturday so she could pull Brad's tooth. Doesnt he look cute? I love his little lisp when he talks. The tooth fairy even came that night, he is one happy boy!

Pogo scrabble

I just have to share with you my new obsession. I have been playing scrabble on pogo for about a month now. I have to limit my time to when the kids are sleeping, or doing homework. I LOVE it! I challenge you all try it. But you have been warned it is very easy to get addicted, just ask my family.
