Gearing up for Christmas!

We're steam rolling through these holidays! Thanksgiving was great, but it's over; time to move onto Christmas!

We picked up Ryann on Friday, and haven't sat still since!

Friday night we put up the trees and got them decorated, stockings hung. Then off to Adam's soccer game.

Saturday we took the kids to see Bolt - very cute movie! After the movie we headed out to the park to take our annual Christmas card picture. This was quite an adventure. It was COLD, and mommy doesn't handle the cold very well. Then the battery for my remote, (for the camera) died, which meant we had to use the timer.... do you know how hard it is to run in heals on wet grass??? Did I mention it was cold? And windy, after about 5 pictures my eyes started watering - I had mascara all over one side of my face.... Like I said it was an adventure. We ended up with a pretty cute picture, but you'll have to wait for your Christmas card to see. Here are a few others taken that day.



I LOVE these of the kids!



Afterwards we took the kids to pick a new ornament for their tree. This is one of my favorite traditions, it's always so much fun watching them pick the new one. Like with most of our shopping trips, Aiden saw exactly what he wanted, picked it and there was no changing his mind. Ryann on the other hand looked at every ornament the store had to offer, picked one - put it back, picked another- put it back, about 30 minutes later she had found the perfect one and we were headed home to add them to the tree.

Today we had church then Adam and the kids went to Gamma and Papa's while I headed out to a photo shoot. Like I said, busy weekend! The rest of the month will be much the same, busy busy! We hope you all are doing great, and if we don't see you, we hope you have a magical Holiday Season.

As always, new pictures are up.

A Heart FULL of Thanks!

We hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful, ours sure was!! Our Thanksgiving meal was at our home this year. For the past four years I've prepared the bulk of the Fuson holiday meals, I never worry or fret about any of it. This year I was a nervous wreck, I don't know if it was because I was cooking for the Nabors' side, or what. Thankfully everything turned out perfect. The whole day was really great, well everything but that A&M game.....

The tooth fairy comes to town...

"I'm rich!"

Ryann had her very first visit from the tooth fairy last night. We had to leave a note, letting the tooth fairy know, that Ryann's mommy wanted to keep her tooth for her baby book. Luckly, the tooth fairy didn't mind. Ryann thought this whole process was pretty amazing! The tooth fairy left behind a bag with a tooth brush, toothpaste, flossers, $5 and a note just for Ryann.

Her letter read:

"Hello Ryann,

Congratulations on losing your first tooth! Adults lose their teeth too when they are little.... just like Daddy adn Mommy did. Now I see that it is your turn.

Aiden and Kamri must be bary excited for you. Lots of people who live in Keller and Greenville are happy for you too! Losing your teeth is a part of growing up.

Remember to eat lots of fruits and vegetables to keep your teeth strong. Brushig your teeth ever day is a good way to keep your new grown up teeth health.

Please tell you dentist that I said "hello" during you next visit.
Tooth Fairy".

Ryann is still trying to figure out how the tooth fairy knew her brother and sister's names....

School Updates

I know it's been a while, so first let's get you caught up on school....

Ryann is doing well. She seems to enjoy school this year. She loves her teacher and has many friends. We just got her progress report for the second six week, and her grades are pretty good. She has had some minor struggles, that I think come from being in a poor school and over populated class last year. Good news this year, her teacher is AWESOME, and really sees great potential in Ryann.

Ryann is SO much like her Daddy, she pushes herself to do better and better. Last week Melony, Ryann's mom called to let Adam talk to Ryann. Ryann was crying because she made a B on her spelling test. While we don't want her to beat herself up over every B she gets, it was nice to hear that she wanted to do her very best on every assignment. I have now doubt this little smarty will go very far!

Aiden, is doing great in school too; it's hard to believe he is just 3. So hard in fact, that his school did not relize how young he is! At the begining of the school year Aiden was placed in the Pre-K class. We were told he would be able to start their private kindergarten next year. Last month I was talking to the director about Aiden's progress, and said something about him being 3.... turns out, he will not be able to start kindergarten next year after all, because he is to young. Even though right now he test as a kindergarten. SO, what to do right?? We were able to sign him up 3x a week at another school, (where he has been going on Saturdays since just before he turned 2). This school will continue to teach him on a kindergarten level, or higher as he progresses. Needless to say, Aiden has the most hectic schdule of all of us, but he seems to really enjoy it! He is learning SO much, it really is amazing!!

We just got Aiden's school pictures today, so be on the look out for one of those in your mail box real soon.

There is TONS more to update on, but all that will have to wait for another day.

Until then.....Check out our photo albums, ton's of new pictures; and still more to come!
