like mother, like son

One of my favorite things as a child was Psalty! I (according to my fans) was always a beat off of the music, but could dance like a champ to Psalty. Santa found 10 of Psalty's CDs and delivered them to Juice & Pa's house for Michael. What is funny is that I can still sing all the words! Michael and I have had fun listening to these CDs this week. I turn it on in the morning while he eats his breakfast and while he plays.

and a merry christmas it was...

Michael had a super fun first Christmas! He got all he could ever want or need and more!

Michael had a special visitor on Christmas Eve, but he really didn't like him.

Even Michael's friend Cy didn't know what to think about Santa...

He really liked Santa's Elf much better...


Santa did make his way back during the night and Michael woke up to this on Christmas morning! He was in such a great mood. He went straight to the basketball! He has enjoyed his rides around the house in the wagon and loves the new books and toys. Santa was good to him this year!

After Michael played with all his toys from Santa, we headed over to Grandma & Granddaddy's for Christmas morning breakfast and gifts with them. We were sad because Uncle Ryan and Aunt Maggie couldn't make it. Silly snow storms! We'll get to see them in a few weeks hopefully. He was glad to get to hang out with Grandma, Little Jo, Aunt Mary and Granddaddy.

Michael thought his new suitcase from Grandma & Granddaddy was the coolest...he loved climbing in and out of it.

He also loved his baseball rocking 'horse'.

After a fun afternoon with them, we headed to see Juice, Pa, Uncle Curt & Uncle Bruce. And what do you know...Santa even stopped there to leave a few things for Michael!



Ready for some breakfast:

momma, kirby, daddy, uncle curt, pa, michael, juice and uncle bruce...

sweet boy...

yea!!! Mommy got a porch swing so I can spend my summer days swinging and watching Michael play in the yard!


We hope your Christmas was as blessed as ours was...

now where to put all these cool new things.........

merry christmas

from our home to yours....may it be a blessed holiday!

santa claus is coming to town....

Michael got invited to go to a Christmas party and guess who showed up!?!?! The one and only...

and he handed out gifts...

but Michael really didn't want to tell him what else he wanted Santa to bring...


Maybe he'll still come back on Christmas...

i survived...

and so did Michael.

Momma and Daddy needed to get some things done before Christmas, and since he's on the bottle full time now, the time had come. A night away from momma.

Juice and Pa promptly volunteered to have the boy spend the night with them! Michael had a super fun time. He didn't have to wash his face after supper, he got to touch the pretty ornaments on the tree, play with the ribbon on the presents under the tree...oh goodness!


But he did have a super fun time. Thank you Juice & Pa for a fun weekend. I'm pretty sure he never knew we were gone! Plus, he popped out another tooth while we were gone and is working on the 6th one!
