ho hum days of January

It is kind of sad when all there is to do, is watch a seed grow. This is Joey. He was a lima bean but with love and water he grew. Now he is part of the family. This is him the day after Christmas.

This is New Year's Day.

This is January 5, 2007.

He is really good with the kids too. This is Clay, Jake and Joey just having some crazy fun. See how he's grown? We're really proud. I start school on Tuesday so I'll blog whenever I get a minute. Clay is starting baseball next month and Taylin will be in dance and gymnastics. So hopefully there will be a picture here and there. Take care.

Ivie Christmas 2006

Just a little glimpse into our morning. I just figured out how to post videos. Just go to this website: http://video.google.com/videouploadform

Christmas Eve 2006

Family playing catch phrase Christmas eve. Posted with permission from my mom. Sorry I didn't ask you Natalie and Dad, but you did pretty well.

Christmas Eve/Day 2006

The unwrapping begins. It was fun to spend time with mom and dad and the Oakley's. We got lots of goodies and played fun games. I wish could down load a video to show you the catch phrase game. I'm still working on it.

This is what Clay got. He has a cool cousin Wyatt that gave him a truck. He was excited.

Taylin got a great teaset and cool pajamas. She loves her Grandma and Grandpa's house. This picture was taken at Grandma Rhonda's house. This is the picture taken after I smacked her upside the head and told her to smile. I hope you can find the humor in it and not turn me into CPS (child protective services). What an awful, stressed out mom I am or was. Clay just said "You are so not, mom" That makes me feel better. We were trying to get a picture of all the Ivie kids and of course she was not cooperating.
This is the final picture. These are Curt and Holly's kids. Sierra is standing on the right, Mckenzie is on the bottom left and Paige on the right.
