Trampoline Trouble

Talan's trampoline ended up on our roof on Sunday when it was so windy. It was such a heavy duty trampoline I am not sure how the ind lifted it. However, I do have the worst luck with trampolines. This is my 4th trampoline. I am not sure Bird will ever let us get another one. Bird was just glad it didn't take out the cable. How it jumped over the satellite I will never know.

Here it is dangling from the roof. Here is the leg that went through the roof.

Here is my wonderful family coming to the rescue to help take it down and apart.
More of my wonderful family.
When it was all said and done, this as all that was left!

Merry Christmas

Christmas Morning Talan was so excited to get up but was very disappointed when he didn't find Santa in the living room. After he got passed that he was excited to open presents!

Santa's helpers found Talan the one thing he asked for, for Christmas. A tractor combine.

Look, I got a camera like you Mom!

Strawberry Wine

Bird made his own wine and Talan had fun learning how to bottle it. Might as well start early! Bird has been working on his wine for the last few months and despite the explosion with the first attempt(in the basement, what a mess!) this was a successful project.Bird and Talan emptying the wine back in to the bucket.

Good work Talan!

The finished project!

Visit with Santa

We went to visit Santa a week ago and Talan loved him, I think he sat on his lap 3 different times. We saw Santa again on Sunday at our family Christmas party and Talan was still overly excited to see Santa. Santa told Talan that he thought he had seen him earlier that week and Talan said; "Ya Santa, I was at your house!". The holidays are so much fun, Talan loved helping decorate our trees.


Papa helped cut our beautiful xmas tree for our front room. Too bad we walked about three miles to find it. It took us forever to drag it back to the front of the property. It was worth it though, the tree turned out beautiful.

Talan really loves the Manger Scene, he watches it all the time. He really wants to play with the animals I think but they are breakable so he is only allowed to look.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I'm Done!!

SO......... it's been a whole month since I've posted but I am now happy to report that I am finished with my Master in Special Education. It was a rough few months but totally worth it! Now I am just excited to enjoy the holidays with my family.
