Hail storm in Fresno

We had hail in Fresno!  I have a video that I would like to share from the hailstorm.  My kids got so excited about it that they wanted to run out and play in the hail.  So we all went out and I pulled out the camera.  This video is Mahala running excitedly out into the storm.  She was holding Daddy's hand and when he decided to stop, she kept going.....guess what happens???

Happy birthday Dad!

I am two days late with this post, but I wanted to do it anyway. My dad's birthday just passed and I wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday! I love you bunches, Dad!!!! Hope your day was blessed and extra special! Lots of hugs and kisses from all of us to you!!!

Making Christmas cookies to send to GA

Granny asked Colten to send some of his very special sugar cookies to her and Papa for Christmas. So we made some cookies a little early so that they would have them in time for Christmas.

Here is a cute little video of the kids decorating these very special cookies. Before you see the decorating, you get to see Anastacia's first taste of a sugar cookie. Daddy snuck this to her while I was busy taking photos of Colten and Mahala decorating. When I looked up and saw what he was doing, I could not believe my eyes. So I switched the camera to video and caught a little snippet of her reaction. And then I caught her reaction to Daddy taking the cookie back when he realized it might not be such a good idea to give a 6 month old a sugar cookie!!!

I know the video was long and then it abruptly ends (my memory card ran out of space), but I really wanted Granny to see how hard these kids worked and how important it was to them that everyone have a special cookie. Love ya'll and miss you!!!

New skills

Anastacia has learned a new skill! She is now freely rolling around on the floor. This new mobility is really neat, but makes me think about how I really need to childproof everything! I have already moved the guinea pig from the living room to the kid's room and i know there are other things I need to move.

This video is the first time she rolled across the living room. She is so proud of herself and so are all of us. Enjoy the video!!!! You get to experience this with us.
