christmas time

I go a little crazy with Christmas shopping. I know I spend too much but I just can't help myself. We were thinking of doing a Family vacation during Christmas but I decided I would rather spend it on gifts. I start shopping early and usually have all my shopping done by the 1st week of December. Then some of my children will mention something they want I just have try and get it for them. I love spoiling my children and grandchildren. We are adding another grandson in march from Ben and Kelli. Janice is expecting and due in June she won't find out the baby's sex until January or February.

OK it's been awhile since I posted anything. I have been a bit busy going back and forth to Arizona to spend time with my mom and to give my sister a break. My mom is not able to get out much because of her arthritis, it causes her a lot of pain in her neck and shoulders and everyone else a pain in their backside. She has become quit the whiner. and a bit paranoid to say the least. I enjoy going back and forth, when I am there I miss home but when I'm home I miss being there. My family is growing 2 more grandchildren on the way Kelli is due in march and Janice is due in June, I can't wait to see them.

we had all the kids here in June so we did a family photo shoot at wheeler farm, Kiersten Harrell took the picture and she did a great job. then Maranda did a little editing and made them in more fabulous. here are a few of my favorite.
