HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jed wearing Ken's hat.

HAHA!! He almost looks like he could fit into it.

So the New Year started off with a lot of craziness.  I won't go into to many details because a lot of it is personal to other people.  Let's just say that we are only 16 days into the new year and it is already interesting.  We have a lot of exciting things coming up.  We cannot wait to get our taxes done, in hopes that we will be able to buy a camping trailer this year.  If not then Ken is buying me an I PAD!!! I am so excited.  For me it is a win win situation.  I am also excited because someone close to me is moving closer to me and we have a new nephew being born on February 9th.  We will also be done with our adoption classes by the end of February.  We hope to have a child by Christmas.  A week ago we were at D.I. (not that we can go a month without going even if we tried) and bought this really cool butterfly kite.  Not the cheap plastic kind.  This was still cheap but made of nylon and it is pretty strong.  When we bought them I was not thinking we would get to use them so quickly.  We the pictures are at the bottom.  Today was a day off for the kids.  So we got to have a lot of fun.  Not all of these pictures are from today but I wanted to share them all with you.  We had so much fun with our favorite people.  We are off to a fantastic start.

Smokey stole the dogs favorite toy.  We call it pengy

Jed finally noticing that Smokey has Pengy

Jed obviously trying to be nice but not happy about it.

Jed deciding he is going to try to get pengy back.

Jed held out as long as he could but he wants his baby back.

Ken, Minnie and Jed.  All very comfortable. 

Kohwin watching what else...CARS!! He loves that movie.  He fell asleep for about ten minutes in this position.  

Shalize was so happy to have a turn and to get her picture taken.

Russell, Kohwin, Tahly, and Rosa all having fun.  Even Kohwin got a chance to fly.
