WALL FAMILY

Here is our Christmas Picture of the kids that I didn't get sent out this year. I know, I'm a slacker! And just a couple more of the kids playing in the snow. Making Snow angel's ( you can tell Rylee was soooo into it :) He is going to pull him if it's the last thing he does! I hope EVERYONE has a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Just wanted to do a little showing off for Kirk. He's an amazing artist. I took some pictures of some of the drawings he has done. He doesn't draw as much as he used to. I wish he did though cause I love to see new ones! --Just click on the picture to get a bigger view-- Kirk and I when we were married (1998) and Jordan (1996, less than a year I believe) Dylan (5 weeks old) and Rylee (about 4 months old) Our friends kids when they were all little (drawn in 2007) This one was made while in an art class about 5 years ago These were some drawings from 1994 and 1995. The one is two drawings side by side, kind of a bad picture on my part. Some people just have an amazing talent, and I think Kirk is one of those people!

Can you believe that Christmas is so close again. I am not ready. But we are still enjoying the time of year. I took Rylee to the library for a storytime with Santa. In this first picture this shows how close Rylee would get to Santa...and believe me for him this was close. He keep trying to run away and yelling NO NO! Poor Santa. They both had fun when we were decorating the house though. Rylee had more fun pulling everything off the tree :) Here are some of the things that were sent or given to me last week because of the accident. Thank you to everyone who thought of me, it really helped me to deal with it all. I had alot of support from my friends, family and the school and community.

Now if only I am able to get him to do this all the time there will be no more shoveling for Kirk and I (Ya right!) We got him this pint sized snow shovel and he had a ball with it. I guess he'll have plenty of opportunity to use it around here.

Dylan loves playing basketball and the smile on his face proves it! This is his first year playing. They don't really compete cause they don't start that until they are in 5th grade. For now they just teach them how to play, the rules and just get practice. As long as they have fun.....And they DO!

Look for this face..... Thats right. We have a video of our dog that will air on America's Funniest Home Videos on Tuesday, December 9th. I am a little surprised. I submitted the video online cause Dylan asked me to. Shortly after we got an email reply (back in July) telling us that they were very interested in airing our video and asked us to get some release forms to them. I havent heard from them until a couple days ago when they left a message telling us it will be on. SO, of course you all have to tune in to ABC on Tuesday and check it out! It's kind of fun to know that Dylan encouraged us to do this and now he'll be able to watch his dog on TV.

Some of you know and some of you dont, I was in a rollover accident yesterday along with Rylee and three other kids on my school route. It was a horrible morning but the outcome couldn't have been any better. Every one of us came out of it almost completely unharmed. I am more grateful than I can express that these children were kept safe and I do believe we had some help from a higher power. The school, parents and community have been more than kind and helpful in making me work through my emotions over this. I still cry when I think about it, but if I talk about it I feel better. I live in a wonderful town and have had so much support and the parents have all been so understanding, calling me, sending me dinner and cards, I feel like I should be the one doing these things. I am so very thankful that the kids are ok, even after the fact they are all doing fine. I couldn't ask for a better result from a bad situation. Here is the story in the paper. http://steamboatpil...
