While we were in Glendive for Thanksgiving my Mom borrowed a bouncer from a lady she worked with and Avery absolutely loved it. John and Lacey happened to have the same one and were so nice to let us borrow theirs so Avery can keep on bouncing. ;)




Jayden checks out email for us frequently, except they usually say the same thing. Such a cuttie.

Jayden and Maggs playing in the toy box.

We had a fun night getting together with some of our closest friends. It's crazy to think we've knows them for almost six years now. Man how time flies by!

THE THIRD JIHAD



We watched a video tonight called "The Third Jihad" who was done by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim American and former physician to the US Congress. This movie is one I would DEFINITELY recommend watching. As an American I find it almost appalling how we are not even made aware of some of the things that so drastically affect us. This movie basically states the beliefs and intentions of the Islam community, which is to take over the world and kill anyone who stands in the way. I personally was blown away by how affected America is by this already. Britain already states that it is "to late" for them, the Islam community is gradually but steadily outnumbering them. The shocker to me was how prevalent it already is in America. Every year there are more and more attempts for huge suicide deaths and we can only praise God for how many of them have been stopped before the fact. Why is this not in the news making us aware of what is going on? Well known and very established colleges are getting billions of dollars to promote the Islam belief. Now more then ever we need to be praying for our country and start taking a stand for what we believe in. These people are very passionate about there wretched and disturbed beliefs and it is time that we as believers in Christ stop worrying about what the people around us are thinking and start spreading the much needed gospel of Christ to anyone who will listen!

I just love watching this little girl play. I wish they didn't grow up it goes by way to fast

Home sweet home. We went back to Glendive for thanksgiving and it was so nice to just get to hang out with family and some of our friends. It was great other then the fact that Jayden once again hurt her arm. That girls poor arm. The best was eating all of Moms yummy food!!


Travis claiming his territory on the couch as always. ;) Avery and her Aunt Paula

Of course the family pictures my Dad and Grandma

My five favorite things, just for you Tiffany ;)



1. My family! I just LOVE the family that God has put in my life. My husband is so patient and loving and my best friend. It is so much fun raising our girls together and they are a blast. I never quite know what to expect with those two. I thank God every day and just pray that he allows us to all grow old together.
2. Christmas ;) Anyone who knows me knows that I am a little Christmas freak. I love everything about it the radiant glow of the lights, the cheery and warming music, the tickling of the senses with that amazing Cinnamon smell everywhere, and all the time I get to spend with my friends and family.
3. God. I know this sound very cliched but it's true. This last year Travis and I have just seen so much sadness all over from close friends to family to the wonder full clients I have grown close to at work. It has just been this tragic heap of sorrow: cancer, divorce, loss of loved ones. I guess I have reached that age where I no longer feel immune to the destruction that happens all around me. In the midst of all that happens God is so good. He is always faith full and I will never fathom his unending love for me.


4. The Shack. I am reading this book and am very much enjoying it. I have to be honest, at first I was a bit skeptical, the way God portrays himself and all, but the more I read the more I just love it. It is very unique but also scripture based. I am thinking I will have to reread it because there is just so much to take in. A heart wrenching story but a great read none the less.

5. And Last but not least friends. Some people live there whole lives waiting for the friendships that I am so fortunate to have. God made us relational beings and we all desire for that someone we can go to who will be there to support us, listen to us, and love us without conditions. We have so many amazing friends and I am so grate full for each and everyone of them!

Whats new with us? TEETH! I am finding it darn near imposable to get a clear picture inside this wiggly little girls mouth but she now has THREE teeth coming in which has made life around here very interesting lately. Lots of sleepless nights and not so much fun in the nursing department! Avery is a little chomper and trying to explain that to a toddler is interesting. Avery hurt you Mommy, Avery bite your boo boos off? Then she wanted to nurse her baby... followed by ouch baby bite my boo boos off. Silly girl! All the same we are excited and sad at this little girls development into the not so infant stage.

Jayden's new favorite thing is playing with the keyboard!!! She loves not only playing with it but dancing to it... and making Mom and Dad dance to it too. Oh brother ;)

Avery has changed so much these last couple weeks it's insane. She has her first tooth!!!! She is also sitting up by herself and is starting to talk more. She squeals like crazy. Last night it was actually kinda funny when Travis came home he came downstairs and when Avery saw him gave a HUGE smiled and then a big squeal so he came over and gave her some love, then Jayden kept saying daddy play toys so he went in the toy room and Avery went instantly from bouncing up and down to crying and saying dadadada. :( Oh it was so sad but adorable. I need a boy! I have two Daddy's girls and I just need a boy.... only if he likes me more though of course. ;) Avery has also started saying mama too, however in both cases I am not actually sure she knows what she's saying more like babble... but I don't like that she says Dada more regardless. :p J/K

Jayden has been just as equally cute though she is talking so much and I often wonder how she comes up with half the stuff she does. This morning I was filling her sippy cup and accidentally dropped it and water spilled everywhere and she looked at it and said, "goodness sakes" I was absolutely rolling with laughter!!

On a sad note our camera broke. :( We hope to either get it fixed soon or spring for a new one, but just be warned about the few pictures there may be for a while. Love you all!





Avery in her bouncer

Chewing on a cold carrot, she was mad when she has to give it up! Addison likes her pizza, such a cuttie
