Getting the Christmas tree!

Unfortunately we waited until the first big snow storm to go and get our tree. It was freezing out side but we bared it anyways. All bundled up we went out and got the wrong tree, though it's beautiful. Next year we have to remember FRASIER FUR! The needles are so prickly and they're fallign off by the hundreds. We needed our Papa Mike and Gramma Donna to remind us what we get. Oh well, next year. Enjoy the pics!

HERE IT IS! What we thought was the perfect tree!

daddy and clayton cut it down!

clayton carried the saw and....

Saving a bit of dough.

Rowan's first BIRTHDAY!

Rowan's birthday was on a sunday so it was perfect timing to have a party! She had on a new outfit Mimi got for her. She looked so cute: but I may be predjudice!

Rowans TWELVE Months

Rowan's twelve month photos were fun. My college roomie was here and we did her 12 month photos. It was good to finally have some help seeing she's all over the place now. We had fun and she was dressed up like such a little girl. No more baby in this kid, except for hte baby fat (which I'm not sure will go away when she's actually not a baby) fat is in anyways, isn't it? It is in this family.

Rowan's ELEVEN months

well better late than never. Just around Halloween Rowan turned 11 months. Since she's had her 12 months and her birthday party, adn today she's actually 13 months, but since I"m behind here are her 11 month photos. Clay even took part. She started walking just as we were takign the photos so we were able to capture these moments on film.

Star Wars Adventure

This fall Clayton and I had a great time playing wtih the glow sticks. We set up the camera and had a lightsaber fight with the glow sticks and recorded it with pictures. It was so much fun and Clay was totally into it! Fun drag shutter pictures.

The Christmas Play

Clayton had his first christmas play at school. They sang songs at the TOP OF THEIR LUNGS!
I couldn't believe it! School has been so great for him. He's enjoying it more and more every day! Santa came to visit at the end and he got a really cool spaceship from Star WArs! WOW!
