Cub Scouts, Christmas carols at Church and some cute pics.

 Zaan is a cub scout now and this past week before Christmas he earned his bobcat badge!  We are so proud of him!! He had a great time and also earned his first pocket knife for selling popcorn this year.  He sold 132 dollars worth of popcorn!  

We also had some snow and the boys decided to go play even though it was mega cold out! LOL  boys will be boys so they say!  We also go to babysit my friends little one Abby and Zaan is so good with her so I will share some photos with you  of them as well.  

The Sunday school classes  put on a little show for us, and the boys participated in that. It was extremely funny to watch as Xander was having issues ??:) So I think that covers all the pics this post  

Zaans Christmas Program and Santa pics!

Zaan's Christmas Program, my mantel, Xander decorating the tree,  the finished tree and a visit with santa.  Not sure why these didn't post. I have a few more to post but will get these up as they were supposed to have been on there already!! Can't wait for Christmas~!

Thanksgiving Day pics

All the kids from Left to right are Val, Xander, Gabby, Michael and Zaan!  Next is a picture of the guys playing Phase 10,  Lucas, Brad, Smith, and Shawn.  Then there is my ham dog TJ and my girlfriend Erika and her hubby Val.  so there are some pics we had a good day, kinda slow and late to start but a good time!  

Then on Saturday we put up the tree. Those pics will come later as it is late and I have to work tomorrow but since I promise a certain friend that I would post one last time in November I had to keep my word!

New Haircut photos!

Ok so this is Zaan's new haircut.  I went to get my hair cut last week and Xander decided that he wanted to get his cut too.  So we went and got his haircut and they didn't have time for me. Sooo I went back the next night and got my hair cut then next day.  The next morning I walked into the bathroom and found two big chunks of blonde hair on the floor!!! And a wonderful new haircut on Zaan:) It kinda looked bad so I made it a little better by making the hair all the same length which I didn't get pictures of so I am sure he will thank me for that, it was bad:)lol  So the next night Brad and I took Zaan to the hair place and got him an appt for 730 and she fixed it the best she could:)  So the second picture is the little area in front which is just a tad more chopped off then the rest of his nice new haircut!!  They both did excellent while they stylist were cutting their hair so that was nice and here is my new hair cut:) Brad last but not least has had a change and had an unhaircut as he is on leave and doesn't have to cut it :)  But I am not sure how much longer he can stand it:) I will keep you posted as to when he finally can't take it anymore and shaves it all off again:) But for the record here is a picture:)!!

Hope this update finds you all doing well:)  Its off to cub scouts for us tonight and then work tomorrow and off for a four day weekend:) Yippee!

 Happy Thanksgiving to all!  More pictures to come after that:)

Finally a new update:)

Ok so I have given up on trying to get videos on here but if you have time go to youtube.com then search for 7 year old shredder and look for the one that was put in by mcclurebmx  that is Zaan :)  I tried to get it on here with no luck and also tried to get xander riding his two wheeler on here too but that didnt work soo I guess we will have to go with a bunch of pictures:) These are pics from the skate park and the last pic was after Xander biffed it big time in front of our house.  He went to see the dentist for the first time a couple weeks ago and his top two front teeth are fractured so that sucks but he isn't complaining about them. 

wow another month gone by already:)

School starts in 22 days.  All the shopping is done except for shoes and maybe a new pair of jeans:)   Zaan will be 7 in two days and both boys are growing like weeds:)  Can't believe how tall they are getting.

So a lot has happened this past month.  Xander learned how to ride a two wheeler on the 7th of July and Zaan has taken up BMX Freestyle.  Brad has graduated the NCO academy and is as every working his butt off:)  This has also been the start of something new for me as well.  I have started a workout routine and they say it takes a month to change a habit and so its been over a month and I am happily still at my routine and see great results:)  11 pds down so far haven't seen that weight on me in oh five or six years:)lol

Well I guess that is all for now I will leave you with video and pics to enjoy.  Hope all is well with everyone else:)

Hugs from all 

 More to come after Zaans birthday!

    

Brace yourself Janet:) number three!

Shots of the boys in the camper on the way back to Montana with mom and Ron. And then of course we had to go visit Mr. Coleman before we left. So I got a photo of me and the boys with him:)







Heres a happy one of Ron and Spenser

And then we went and visited Grandma Becky and Grandpa Bill.  That was fun Becky and Itty Bitty played with Xander's leap pad.  

Romeo and I had a little reunion what a sweetheart gave me all kinds of kisses my little boy all grown up:) lots of tears knowing I couldn't take him with me. But Gramma treats him good:)

And Grandpa Bill got mauled by the boys.  They watched Spongebob together and enjoyed the time:)

It was over way too fast as we had to get on the road and get home to our other baby TJ.  And so ended our wonderful vacation:)  

Hope you enjoyed all that !!! Hugs to all!

Nat and the boys. 

PS Brad graduates the 11 of July from the NCO academy and hopefully we can put pics of him up after that too:)
