All Noah wanted for Christmas was a 12-pack of Pepsi and some disposable razors.

Surprising mom with her new lawn mower from all her kids.

We had such a wonderful Christmas holiday!! As I said in the last post, Ken and Joyce came to visit and we had so much fun surprising them with the baby news!! Joyce and I did a lot of shopping while the guys worked on the Mustang. On Christmas Eve, we had our friends Shalin, Brandy and Brooklyn over for some steak and chicken kabobs. Brandy made some wonderful peach cobbler, it is the best. She uses her grandma's recipe. On Christmas Day, my family came over to eat. We had quite a spread. Joyce made her famous mashed potatoes. Of course, my mom brought loads of food, we had enough to feed an army. We also had Noah come over to spend the day with us. Noah has always been like a "grandpa" figure in my life. Unfortunately, both of my grandpas had passed away when I was born. He was my grandparents farm hand and he has known me since birth. He was a lifesaver to my mom when she had the twins, he would sit and rock my brother for hours (he was very colicky). He is 97 years old and doing great!! David and I were really sad to see Ken and Joyce head back to Florida. It is really hard to see your family only twice a year. I am just so used to seeing my family anytime, since they are all in Conway. We always try to convince them to retire to Arkansas!! Wink!! Wink!! Don't forget your grand kiddos will be here :)

I know I am so behind on updating our Christmas. Ken and Joyce arrived from Vero Beach, Florida with their two keeshonds. It was so funny having four keeshonds in the house. They did their first initial growls and greets and they got along great. I am going to do a couple of different updates. First thing is first, David's car. David has a 1973 Mustang Grande that has been sitting in our garage for sometime, so before his Dad got here, he ordered a lot of new parts. They had a huge project on their hands for a few days, but they loved every minute of it. Here are the pics: I am going to have David put the captions under them, because I don't want to miss anything up :)

Congrats to the Helton Family!!!

Proud Daddy Will

David and I want to send congrats to Bernadette and Will Helton!! Jaxon Ashton Helton arrived today and he is precious. 9 lbs. 1 oz. 20.5 inches long Born 1:09 PM 12/28/07.

The Stork is coming to visit us in July!!!

Well, David and I found out that we are having a baby in July. We found out the morning we left for our Hawaii trip in November. We didn't want to put it on the blog because we waited to surprise Ken and Joyce when they arrived from Florida. We had a grandma and grandpa picture frames with our 9 week ultrasound. We went for our 11-week ultrasound today and everything looked perfect. Of course, we are still somewhat nervous due to the two miscarriages that we went through earlier this year. But, hopefully third times a charm. We are very positive that everything is going to be fine this time. Please keep us in your prayers. I will keep everyone updated.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!! Take time to relax and enjoy the true reason for the season!!

David and I had our Christmas party this past Saturday night and it was so much fun!! So many of our good friends joined us and it was a blast!! I know I am so behind on putting up pics of my tree, so I guess you can see the tree in a lot of the Christmas party pictures. I don't have hardly any pics of David, he was outside with the guys most of the night. Thanks to all of our friends for making our party a success!!

So Weird..

My blogger background is changed and I did not change it. Has this happened to anyone else?? I don't have time to fool around with it now, but that is weird.
