HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

We ALL made it to midnight!!! EVEN DAVID!!! This is the first year in I can't even begin to tell you when that David has stayed up with us till midnight, usually it is Trace and I that toast each other with his little shot glasses and say Chin-Chin. We never like to go anywhere on New Year's Eve because the risk is just not worth it being on the roads so we decided to take the boys to eat dinner at no other than Rancho Grande and then I had to run into Wal-Mart so that I could make all the traditional New Year's Day food. Then we headed home where we all stayed up and watched Dick Clark's New Years Rockin Eve. David tried to convince me that at 11:00 he could go to bed because we actually just watched the ball drop (ya, in New York)...didn' work. At midnight we all kissed and toasted and then off to bed for the little boys. We are very excited about 2009; we expect many first's with Baby Kace, we are waiting the arrival of our deer in early February, watching all the boys grow and become such great friends as well as loving (when they are not throwing punches at each other) brothers, spending time with family and friends and just enjoying everyday of life. And if I watch one more infomercial about P90X I may be the rippest mom on the block eventhough we don't live anywhere near a block. We hope that all of you have a great 2009 and we hope to be as blessed as we were in 2008! NO we are not having any more children.., but we do feel very blessed.

CATCH UP

We have been a busy busy family since last time I posted so I wanted to catch everyone up quickly...I find it so hard to post on our blog because by the time that I sit down and finish everything else I am exhausted by the time that I get to our blog (and after I catch up on everyone else's blog and then click on their friends and then friends of their friends and I find myself reading about someones life that I don't even know! I tell my self tomorrow I will post that and tomorrow comes and goes). I really am going to make it a New Years goal to be more diligent in my postings, not only for everyone else but for me to document ours and our children's precious days.

My mom made this cake for Jace Caleb...she always makes the best cakes and is so talented.

The fact that she makes all their cakes is so special...Trace's Power Rangers cake is next!!!

THIS IS REALLY HARD WORK!!!

Everyone says that Kace and Trace look just alike but now this is really DeJaVou (spelling???) Trace use to jump and jump and jump till he just fell asleep and I use to just leave him there because he would NEVER sleep in his crib and ALWAYS wanted to be held, this was the only way to get him a good nap and for me to get anything done! The other day I put Kace in the jumper (which he is not as big of a fan as Trace & Jace Caleb were) and as he was jumping he was fussing a little. After a few minutes of silence I went over to check on him and this is what I found...



Sweet Baby Kace...NO, I did not just leave him there, I picked him up and cuddled my sweet little boy and he slept in my arms.
