New wheels!

We decided to bite the bullet yesterday and buy a new car. It's a 2008 Impala. The color is called "slate"....it's gray with a blue tint. We went back and forth between an SUV and minivan for so long...but it's funny that we gave up on both and bought another car. And we can park both vehicles in our garage!! Now that's an accomplishment. We've lived in this house for just over five years and never parked both cars in the garage until last night. Bryce built a loft over the truck that now holds all the stuff that was sitting in our garage. He also had to modify the stairs a bit to allow the car in. I'm so happy!!!

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We asked Landen what he wanted for Christmas and he said "Ummmm....crackers!" So Santa brought him some animal crackers and a few toys! It was so cute watching him open his gifts this year. We spent the day with family and it was really nice. Presley slept most of the day...and by the end of the day Bryce and I were ready to sleep too!!

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Last night we went to Landen's Christmas program for daycare and it was SO cute! His class did "Rockin' around the Christmas Tree." There was a tree in center stage and they held guitars & danced around. Grant (our nephew) was in the 4 year old class and they did a skit to "Nuttin for Christmas."

All I want for Christmas is...

We went to the Lovan's Christmas party on Saturday night and Santa came to visit. Presley (left) and Emily (right) told Santa what they wanted for Christmas. They both have been very good girls over the past ten weeks so I'm sure he will bring them lots of presents! There were over 25 kids at the party...we did a book exchange between all of the kids which was a lot of fun. It was a great party!! Thanks Kyle, Becca, Corinne & John!

New house

On Saturday, we went shopping for our angel tree kids. Both Bryce and I picked two 10-year old boys. We bought them some nice new clothes and a football. I hope it will bring a smile to their face on Christmas.

Yesterday we took a drive up to our development and walked through the two houses that are finished and are for sale. Both are real nice. It was kind of funny...Bryce liked one and I preferred the other one. I hope we can agree on things when we decide to build our next house! The picture is of the newest house under construction in our development. One of the builders is building it for his personal home. We just received an offer on a lot so this will be #14 if we close on it...18 more to go!

Rainy Day = Cleaning

It was a cold and rainy day on Sunday so we stayed inside all day. We did manage to clean the bonus room which took a few hours. It hasn't looked this clean since we moved in! I also cleaned our china cabinet. Both projects needed to be done for a long time but we never made time to do them. Presley is now almost 8 weeks old. It is so hard to believe that time is passing this quickly. Landen is really enjoying his little sister...as you can see by the pictures. He was trying to give her a kiss in the one pic.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We went to NY just before Thanksgiving to see everyone...and that we did. It was a busy few days visiting all the family and friends. Mom made a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. That afternoon we celebrated Christmas too! Presley got a chance to meet many new people on the trip...she was loving all the attention.

Happy Birthday Grant!

Yesterday was Grant's 4th Birthday. We met the Coleman's for lunch yesterday at ChuckE.Cheese's. The boys had fun playing games and running around. Landen loved playing the Skee-Ball game because he could throw balls. Some of his throws were a little wild!! Presley slept most of the time. Later on the night we went to the Coleman's for dinner and birthday celebration. Landen couldn't get enough of the spaghetti...I think he was wearing a good portion of it!

Happy Halloween!

Tonight we had dinner at the Coleman's and trick-or-treated in their neighborhood. The four boys (Connor, Grant , Landen & Reid) went door to door. Landen was a bit cautious at first but he soon got the hang of it. By the end of the night he became very protective of his candy...especially the dum-dums. Presley stayed with me and enjoyed being held by all of the family. Here are a few pictures of their costumes: Landen a.k.a. Brian Brohm (UofL quarterback) and Presley a.k.a. UofL cheerleader.

Welcome Friends and Family

Welcome to our family blog! This is our new way to keep family and friends around the world updated on our Hoosier family.

Presley is doing well and sleeping better at night. She's still eating every 3-4 hours which keeps us very busy both day and night. We are so blessed to have a beautiful, healthy baby girl! We appreciate all of the support from family and friends over the past three weeks...THANK YOU!!

Landen is doing well and taking good care of his little sister. I think his reaction to her has been much better than we had anticipated. He is always checking on her to make sure she is doing okay. He even blows kisses to her.
