We took Russell and a few of his friends bowling for his birthday and he is the only one I didn't get a good shot of. Oh brother.

Cooper

Kyle

Austin who beat everybody including billy!!

Avery is a cutie pie and very fun. Getting so big!

Cooper got a hold of the clippers and gave himself a hair cut. Every kid has to try it. Billy fixed it but we thought it would be funny to see what he would look like like and old man. He thought it was going to stay like that. Very funny!!

Cooper gave himself a "hair cut" so billy had to fix it. We thought it would be funny to see what he looked like like an old man. He thought Billy was going to leave it that way. Very funny!!

We survived Christmas. The commercilism of it all is about to kill me but it is fun to play santa to your kids. I like what our family does though- we make our gifts for each other. I think it makes it more fun and meaningful.

Hey everybody! I know you are all shocked that I am updating my blog. It seems like every time I go to do it some body needs something. We are all safe and sound here in the small Ervien home. We survived Christmas. Its seems as though it came and went so fast but is kind of depressing seeing the chaos it brings when it really doesn't have to be that way. Society has made it so commercialized I almost don't want to go anywhere the whole month. It's fun to play santa though.

Hey everybody! I know it's been a while. I have tried to get a new background for my dang blog but I can't. Here is an update that is long past due. We survived Christmas. Everyone is getting so big. Christmas came and went so fast for me this year I couldn't believe it.

She is Here!! and other fun stuff!

Sorry to all of you who have anxiously been awaiting the pictures of my new angel but it has been crazy and sometimes I would rather take a shower in my 10 minutes of extra time than use the computer but I'm doing it now so here you go....

Well I had my baby shower on Sat. and got lots of great things. Thanks to all of those that helped and contributed. It was fun!. I only have 4 more weeks left. It really did go by fast.
Russell started school and it's nice to get into a routine again. He goes all day now so he comes home really hungry and tired. He likes school so far. Cooper and Kyle play pretty good together. Thay are my big helpers. Our dog had 7 dang puppies about 2 weeks ago so it's their job to take care of them and keep me informed about what is happening. They do a really good job. One time I looked out the window when the puppies were about 1 week old and they had a tote lid and had the puppies sliding down it. Cooper at the top and Kyle catching them. I had to tell them the puppies were to little and they can't be doing that. The puppies have thus far survived! Talk to you all later. It's lunch time!!
