Santa Pics

Every year since AJ's first christmas in 1999 , I have taken my kids to have their picture with Santa. I do have a hard copy of every year-- but here are a few from my computer to share with you. I plan on doing this as long as they will let me and eventually decorate my tree with their santa pictures when they are all grown up and moved away:(

Halloween 2009

We had a great halloween this year filled with Luigi and Edward Scissorhands... we partied with school friends, church friends, and good old family friends.... of course the boys scored big on the candy spectrum, and yes I pick out all the chocolate... just so it doesn't "melt" on their other candy.... shhh don't tell:)

Edward Scissorhands and Luigi

His name is Jesus but he really is a devil!

My last minute throw together... some sord of Pirate Gypsy--really I just wanted to wear my earrings:)

Aj's Birthday Present

So this is a little late, but here are some birthday pics from AJ's 10th. We got him a Fender Squire electric guitar... and boy was he surprised. Actually I think my dad was more excited than anybody!! They bought him the amp, and he was ready to rock!! He has been taking lessons for only three weeks and is catching on really well. Here is some pics and video of him playing!! Enjoy!

Here is video of him playing the begining of that Sweater song by Weezer, and Smoke on the Water... pretty good for only a couple of lessons!
