Let me introduce you to my new HERO...

My 33 year old brother Jared who had a double stroke on Tuesday. Initally he was unable to speek and had no movement on the right side of his body, but a few short hours after a CT scan and blood thinning medication he was shocking the Doctors and his panicked family with his miraculous turn around!!!

We didn't believe him so we had to go see him for ourselves.

I haven't stopped thanking my Heavenly Father for the many miricles that our family has been blessed with since Tuesday!!!

I know what you're thinking, you're thinking

I'm CRAZY and got my kids a puppy.

Come on you know me better than that, I always

let Nicole try new adventures first.

JaCoy has begged for a puppy since she was tiny.

And yes I helped with the negotiation process,

actually I just taught her the proper begging techniques.

It worked!!!

Let me introduce you to Mylee.

She is a Teacup Yorkie, she is so sweet and

we all love her very much.

And yes my kids especially Kennedy has cried

every time we leave Aunt 'Coles house.

I'm just not ready for another baby yet?!?

Family Pictures

Abbey Kyhl took our pictures while my brother and

his family were here for Thanksgiving.

She did a fantastic job at capturing some fun personality!

If you want to see the rest just click on her link .

So have you ever had a picture speak to you?
I know it sounds weird, but this one does!

I'm so glad she got one of just the three of us...

Thankful!!

Dan is constantly reminding our kids to be reverent

during our family prayers,

and then mid prayer the other night we are all startled by

the flash of the camera...

"I couldn't help myself" was his only excuse.

I'm so glad he captured Addison's single moment

of complete reverence.

One of Addy's favorite games is hide and seek

and my favorite part is while she's trying to find me

she repeats...

" I see you "

over and over again until she finds me.

Her job everyday is to keep me smiling, she is so good at it!

Holiday Beginings!

For some odd reason I kinda dig Halloween!

I had a great idea to do a Witch and Wizard

theme this year, but what boy wouldn't rather

be dark and mysterious?

Michael and JaCoy did homeless so well!

Just recently Addison started calling her
Aunt Nicole "Bob"
I think it's so funny so I tend to encourage it
maybe a little too much.
Addy loves her Auntie!

Jett - Always keeping us laughing.
Best Costume for sure!
