Merry Christmas!!! We have had a great Christmas so far. The kids were up at about 7:00 (well our kids had to be woke up because the other kids were up and waiting :) They were all happy with what they got so that makes me happy! Now we are home to get cleaned up and then back to Grandmas we go. :)

Wow only 12 days until Christmas!!! I am very excited for Christmas this year. I have been able to get some really super deals with my coupons and tips on sales from my fellow couponers! I can hardly contain myself!! I really hope the kids like what we picked out for them. I only have a few more things to get and do. I am almost done sewing p.j.s for the whole family. They aren't matching this year but they are all really cute. I love to make p.j.s for Christmas. They are really easy and fun. I think maybe next next year I will have Sarah help me. She loves to make things. I just need to be more patient with her. My poor sewing machine sounds horrible. It goes ka.chunk..ka.chunk..ka.chunk. I told Troy that a new one would make a nice gift for me but I don't think he agreed. O well :)

Yesterday Jimmy had a football game. We got there set up our chairs and sent Jimmy over to join his team. It was very cold! The wind was blowing and we were all wrapped up in blankets and coats. I was wishing I had a warm fuzzy hat! We were only there maybe 10 min and the boys were messing around. Jimmy and another boy ended up colliding into each other and Jimmy smashed his face into the other boys head. He came running over to me holding his face. He had a bloody nose and once we got that under control he mentioned his mouth was hurting also. So I looked in his mouth and Ahhhhhhh his front tooth was half gone!! So we called our dentist and just had to leave a message because it was after hours. He decided he just wanted to go home and not play in the game. So we were on our way home and our awesome dentist called and said to bring him in and he would look at it. He was able to fix it like new! You can't even tell it was ever broken. Luckily it didn't brake into the nerve or he would have had to do a root canal. Always an adventure!

Here is our Halloween pictures! The boys were all ninjas and Sarah was a pirate girl. Dustin kept telling people him and Cameron were twins because of their matching costumes but most of them took it literally because they are the same size. It was lots of fun walking them around with them. We only had Cameron and Dustin this year. Sarah and Jimmy went with friends.

I just realized I never did an updated post on the puppies! We have sold all of them. Yeah! They were of course super fun to play with but I think we found them all really great homes.

This is 5 weeks old 

This is about 7 weeks old. We only had four by then.

I gave Sadie a hair cut yesterday...she looks so funny! I only got her half done so I am going to finish her today and then I shall post the results!!! Hahahaha

So annoying!! Can I just say every time I talk to anyone that has to deal with DCFS I just get more and more pissed off! I just received an email accusing Troy and I of taking Alexis to visit everyone when we had her and took her to the zoo! Trust me we went to great lengths to follow the "rules" but yet crap like this is going on! But yet the crack heads they deal with on a daily basis do nothing wrong! I sooo don't get it! I am so frustrated!!!! You know if you people don't trust us to follow the rules and take care of her then don't flippin let us take her!!! I am so sick of being accused of crap that never happened. And yet Alexis has to put up with BS every day of her life! Her mom is a druggie and a whore. Her dad is a druggie and a criminal. I just feel so bad for her. I pray every day that things will work out for her and she will be watched over. Lord knows we have tried our best to help her and will continue to do so to the best of our abilities.

This picture was taken the day Alexis came home with us.

This one was taken the day she left.

What a difference!!!

Alexis we love you!!! Hang in there!!!
