Door Hangers!!

Christmas Gifts

We made Christmas presents this year! We did a name exchange for the McKenzie side and I got Lori! I usually make the traditional blanket but the sewing machine was not happy and this sounded like lot's of fun! We made door hangers that Lori can hang outside for a few seasons!! Took a bit to get the patterns made but we got it done!!
Josh loves to do EVERYTHING Matt does. He was so serious about what he was doing in this picture.

Finally we went back to the craft store and got Josh his own craft. This is a hutch like Grandma Lori's and he also painted a dinosaur.

New Bed!!

Josh finally has himself a new bed!!! He will sleep all night in it ONLY if he skips a nap. That nap thing is not something momma is real thrilled about. He loves to be tossed into the air by his daddy onto his bed!! I'm a little more dangerous about the tossing thing so I don't do that anymore, LOL! We got him a nice bed liner and they will warranty his bed if a leak goes thru!!! That cover is being tested for sure.

Merry Christmas!!!

Fun pics!!

Josh loved to paint his pumpkins this year!!! He grew five of them in the garden at Great Grandma Nina's.
We had a few visitors!! My cousin Amanda and her family made it down to see us!! They are a blast to hang out with and we miss them soooo much. Josh talks about Marie and Jacob like we see them most every day. I think he likes to pretend his Goodland family and friends live at our house. Amanda's hubby Jeremy had tickets to the Nebraska football game and her and the kids hung out with us:o)
Marie, Jacob and Josh!!

Family Pics!

We had a great time doing family pics!! We had Don take ours and then I took the ones of Joshy! I seem to have a crazy laugh in all of them...LOL!!

These pictures got taken beside the Lincoln Zoo this Oct before it got too cold. It was crazy to see all the flowers change so much from this summer. It really is a neat flower garden.

Halloween

This is one little boy Joshy really likes! His name is Grant. Joshy looks out his window and says " I don't see Grant, maybe he will come out soon" it's sooo sad to see him wait for him. Grant's sisters are super girl also!!

We had a great first Halloween in Lincoln. We had a good amount of kids come to the house even with the cold. I decided this year I wanted to take pics of all the kids that came to the house. I made Matt help me " Yes, made him" he would have rather shut the door. Anyway we got a lot of cute pics of the kids. I added my neighbor kids so you could see a few of them. Josh didn't want to put on his Monkey outfit so he thought he would give me a "I'm so cute" look. I told him daddy would take our pic and he decided he would do it. We put the backdrop on the porch and finally got it to not blow in the wind with some tape!!

These little people live just across the street from us. Josh plays with the ladybug and her momma the most! He calls her Emmy most of the time but her name is Emily!!

It was a fun Halloween and Josh had a great time with all the pumkins Grandma and Pa got him from the garden in Great Grandma Nina's yard!! Will post about that when I get the pics taken....
