Fun times!

Jesus is the reason for the Season!!!

RING RING....Santa is a coming!

At Brians folks house the fire-station goes up and down every street ringing their sirens giving out gifts to good boys and girls...Daisy was so excited to get ANOTHER gift when she found out it was a bag of peanuts and ol' person candy she was not so thrilled...Ha Ha!!!

CHRISTmas morning!

Can you really call it CHRISTmas morning when it's still dark outside! Uggghhhh the kids woke up at 2:45am and we told them NO Way! So we were able to hold them off till 5:45am (Still dark outside!)

Our biggest surprise this year was the new addition to our family...Scooby Doo!!!!

2009 Christmas Letter

Happy Holidays to one and all! Back by popular demand a Christmas letter! Aren’t these great to read? Here is the latest and greatest for 2009… Sold our house…Making big decisions on where we will hang our hat permanently we will keep you in the loop once we figure it out. We took a great family vacation to San Francisco this year. Stayed with family and friends and had some unbelievable adventures. Brian is still selling thing a-ma-bobs and wichets (Can never have too many of those thank goodness)! He is on a conquest to work-out with P90X and lose tons of weight and blow me away with all his studliness!! He coached both the boys at baseball this year… it’s a never ending baseball season in our house! Denise is going completely senile, with 3 kids constantly calling Mom! Mom! Mom! We need to hire a tutor to tutor mom on homework…Its getting quite hard! She tries to stay busy at the kids school, church activities, and the occasional GNO (girls night out) WooHoo!!! Budd is in 4th grade and all of sudden really concerned with his appearance (how come?) He is doing this long hair skinny jean thing (why?) Is this just the beginning of preteen craziness??? He had a great season at baseball and even took lessons on the electric guitar. He also did a great job acting in his Shakespeare production at school. Budd was able to once again attend both winter and summer camp..selling icicles as popsicles and made a little cha-ching this past winter. Brody is in the 2nd grade and is growing like a weed. He is like a big oversized puppy with big old paws (klutzy but loveable). He can’t quite decide if he is a lefty or righty using both for different things but somehow always seems to manage to smack the ball out of the park. Brody is still in scouts and placed first for his pack and went to the division finals for his pinewood car. His first love will always be video games he gets quite hooked and we have to smack him to come out of his video coma. Daisy Mae is in the 1st grade and is well known at her school as a sassy little pistol. She even has a special seat all by herself right next to her teacher as she tells us the “teacher, just wants me the closest”. She loves being in Daisy girl scouts (cause of course they are named after her just ask her). She is in gymnastics and can tumble, cart wheel, and hula hoop with the best of them. She is quite a handful but I’m sure I will be telling you that for years to come. Mac is still with us and is just the best dog. Every now and then he gets out and just walks around the house and sits on the front porch and waits for us. He knows he is not gonna get it any better anywhere else. Brian and Denise are both facebookers so make sure you keep us with us. Merry CHRISTmas to all and to all a good night! Brian, Denise, Budd, Brody,Daisy Mae and Mac Milliken

I LOVE my husband!

Disney on Ice with my #1 Girl

Daisy is like my very own american girl doll. I can dress her to be twinsies with me from the press on nails all the way down to the boots! Some day she isn't going to want to do this anymore and I know I'm going to be soooo sad! So Im gonna eat it all up while I can!
