Merry Christmas 2012

Nailed It!

This might not seem impressive to Tyler, because he cooks all the time, no offense Shari, but Kurt smoked a chicken today and it was divine.  Kent gave us his old smoker forever ago and he finally gave it a test drive today.  Kurt doesn't cook and this was the first time smoking and it was awesome.  We were all impressed.

Each year Grandma makes matching pjs for the kids.  This year aunt Krystal helped by painting the kids initial on their tops.  My kids love gmas pjs and look forward to them every year.  Thanks gma.

This is what my kids did when I told them to smile for the picture.  Apparently, Bethany thought I said to fart and Sam smelled it.  HaHa.  I guess they really are fart sniffers!

Kids

One day last week Bethany came home and wanted to tell me about choir class. Their choir has been practicing You Lift Me Up by Josh Groban. She asked me if I was familiar with the song and I said yes and that I liked it. She said in class they talked about the song and about personal heroes that day. She said everybody who has choir came out of the class crying and everyone in the school was wondering what that was all about. She told me that she couldn't talk about her hero in class. She was already crying to hard just thinking about it. I asked her who her hero was, thinking she would reply Jesus or just maybe she would say her mom, but she didn't. Just then, Sam was coming in from school and she just looked at him and pointed and said it was him. Phew! I'm not a crier, but I still can't not leak tears a bit just thinking about it. She is a great girl and a wonderful sister to Sam. She is very protective of him and I know she loves him with all her heart. She realizes how hard things are for him and how easy things come to her and I know she admires how hard he has to try. Kurt and I have been truly blessed to have two such wonderful spirits in our home. If only know I can figure out how to get them to stop antagonizing each other. Haha.
