Jared's 3rd Birthday and Curtis' Baby Blessing

We had a full group. There were close to 50 people who were able to come.

We had such a wonderful time. It was so great to have so many family and friends to join us.

Curtis with his only toy. It really wasn't that impressive for him, as I am sure you can see.

Jared got a new cowboy outfit and a work bench. Towards the end he didn't want to open anything else up.

Introduction

We have entered the blogging world. Here is a quick intro of our family for those who we haven't seen in a long time.

This is our small little cottage. We have been here for almost five years. We thought we would be here at the most two years but we still are here. Now with three kids we are bursting and it is time to move.

Mark is a manager at a company and is going to school full time. He has no extra time, but when he does he loves spending it with us.

EmmaLee spends all her time taking care of the kids and the house. This takes up most of her time. In her spare time she loves to shop and spend all of the money.

Abby is the most outgoing little girl. She just turned five and is very excited to start school. Right now she is going to preschool at the local collage. She has friends everywhere. At church she knows everyone of all ages by name. She goes up and gives everyone a hug. The boys her age just love it. She has no fear. She will do anything and loves attention.

Jared does what Jared wants. He just turned three and everyone tells me that is what you get from boys. No one can influence him or tell him what to do. He loves spending time by himself and his two friends Mick (a stuffed mickey mouse) and Chicken S*#t (a stuffed chicken with the name that was taught to him by his grandpa).

In October we were blessed with Curtis. He came two weeks early and was a huge 9 lb 4oz baby. EmmaLee was very glad to have a c-section. He is the best baby. He hardly every cries and sleeps a lot. He will sit and smile at anyone. Jared is his favorite. When Jared comes up to him the two just giggle. The two have some joke going. Someday maybe we will figure it out.

We are excited to keep in touch with family and friends better.
