4.0 still intact!

Grades were posted today; Adam found out that his 4.0 is still intact. He is just under half way through with this degree. I'm not at all shocked/ surprised, but I am very proud. Adam has managed to find a way to balance taking care of his family, work and school – and excel at all three! Just six more classes and he'll be all done! We are so proud of you sweetie!!

One "Christmas" down!

Ryann was home this past weekend. Was I the only one who thought those two days FLEW by?! I hate when our weekends with her feel that way. It's like before we know it we're dropping her off, and I'm thinking to myself weren't we JUST here? BUT, Christmas break is just around the corner; and she will be here for almost two weeks!

Saturday morning Aiden had his last day of reading school for this session. His teacher said he did great! Scored a 100% on everything. She seemed rather impressed with his language skills, telling us that he is sure to have an easy time with that part next session. So his mommy and daddy were beaming with pride! Next session they will begin blending sounds, and actually do a tiny bit of reading!! I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!
He'll finishes up swim school this week. I have been blown away at what he has learned, and how quickly. He actually swam the length of the small pool last week. He has learned to swim a little ways, then come up for a breath and continue. I got video... just need to figure out how to get it on here.

Saturday night we had our "Fuson Christmas" at our home. We all had a wonderful time! It really felt like Christmas. We had a TON of food and fun. The kids got some great gifts and more importantly, got to spend time with their Aunts, Uncles and cousins. I really wish we had more time to get together as a family, but life is crazy busy; so I guess we'll settle for holidays and birthday. Although with eight cousins, we could potentially get together once a month!

I'm being totally lazy, so if you want to see pictures from Saturday you're going to have to go to our albums and take a look.

We hope you are all doing great!
Happy Holidays!!!

Burrr!

We visited the ICE! Exhibit at the Gaylord yesterday. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! We prepared pretty good for the below freezing temps, so we really were not that cold. It's hard to believe all of this is carved from ice.

Here we are sliding down the ice slide.... that was fun :)

Aiden was in a great mood, and ready to take in the sights; so we were able to walk all over the hotel taking in all the wonderful Christmas decor. Aiden said his favorite part were all the really cool trains.


Christmas came a little early; Aunt Kay bought Aiden this totally cool scooter!

It was a wonderful day, and really got us into the Christmas spirit!

Believe it or not, I didn't share all the pictures we took, so to see more; check out our photo albums.

MIA

I've been sick for what seems like FOREVER. I am starting to finally feel "normal", so that's good!
Ryann was home again this past weekend. She brought her report card with her. She seems to be doing really well. We are not at all surprised, but proud none the less.

Aiden is doing really great in reading school. See what he has learned to do....

Yes, he wrote these all by himself!!!
Aiden is also doing really great at swim lessons. He is now able to swim a few feet on his own!! We are so proud, and looking forward to summer!!!
Aiden visited Santa, and let him know EVERYTHING he wanted for Christmas. Ryann is still very unsure of the fat man. Oh well; maybe next year.
I guess that gets everyone caught up. We're pretty boring these days.
We hope you are all doing great!

Christmas Exploded!

I don't have much to say about Thanksgiving. I was sick and spent most of the day in bed. We went to Gamma and Papa's house, and that was really nice. The kids just loving getting to spend time with their grandparents, and Adam and I feel pretty blessed that they are so close and get to do so pretty often.

As the title reads, Christmas exploded at our house. Technically it exploded this time last week. I love watching the kids decorate the tree, to watch the excitement come over their face; and then the rest of those little bodies is just so fun! So we just HAD to do it last week while Ryann was here to be apart of the festivities!

One of our traditions is taking the kids to pick out a new ornament every year. Our big tree is themed, and I really wanted the kid’s ornaments to reflect who they are now, so I got them their own little tree. They had a blast decorating it.

This year was Ryann's year to put the star on top of the big tree, and she was SO excited....

Aiden put the star on the kid’s tree.

Daddy crawled on the roof and got the lights up. We still have a little work to do to get the rest of the yard finished, but all in all we are ready for the fat man at this house! I'm SOOOO close to having all my shopping done too!

LOTS of new pictures up, go check out when you get the chance!

Ryann's first BIG girl Hair cut!!

If you've been keeping up, Ryann's hair has changed quite a bit over the past few weeks. Take a look at her hair in my last post, see how LONG it was? We took Ryann in for her first ever big girl hair cut today. They ended up needing to cut off about four inches. I have to be honest; it hurt to watch all that hair fall to the floor. The end result is great though! They trimmed up her bangs. She looks SO adorable. I like the shorter hair, with all those curls it sure does make brushing/fixing it SO much easier!

These are the only pictures we have so far of her big girl cut, more to come!

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

How cute are our kids?!!

I took the kids to the park this morning, and they were nice enough to let me snap this cute picture of them! (Check out how LONG Ryann's hair is!)


I'm working on getting pictures uploaded to our site, so check that when you get a chance.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

The "new" Ryann....

She looks SO different with bangs!!

Snip, snip

Ryann has reached that age.... yep; she cut her hair this past week. Then she cut her little sister, Kamri's. We haven't seen her yet, just got word via email. So be prepared.... she has bangs! I was right around her age when I cut my big sister's hair, while she was sleeping. Remember that Kim? I'll post pictures as soon as we get her Friday.

Have a wonderful week!

The Holidays are here!!!

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away?! My gosh this year seems to have FLOWN by!!

Things are busy busy at the Nabors' home. We haven't seen Ryann in a few weeks, but she'll be here this weekend, and we can hardly wait!

Aiden is doing wonderfully! He can now right the letters A, X, and T. He knows all his vowels, and is practically swimming on his own! He is growing up WAY to fast! Someone please tell me how to slow him down!!

Early in the week Jenny and her adorable kiddos, Chandler and Elizabeth came for a visit. It was so great to see them! Our visit just wasn't long enough. Aiden loved having Chandler here to play with.

Adam is busy with work and school. He'll be gone the week following Thanksgiving for work. This trip is coming up too soon for me, I feel like he JUST got back. But it's just for four days, I think Aiden and I can manage.

I guess that's about it for now. Sorry, no new pictures. I'll get to work on that.
Hope you are all doing great!

Happy Halloween!!!

Aiden and I had a wonderful Halloween this year! It was just the two of us again, Daddy had school. We went to our friend Jamie's house, ate dinner and played, then headed out with some friends to do some trick-or-treating. Aiden thought that was the MOST fun! It didn’t' take him long to get the hang it, so I was able to stand at the curb and let him go up with his friends to get the candy. It was SO cute, because he said "trick or treating" not trick or treat. Here are a few pictures from our night.

Afterwards we went to Aunt Kay's and then to one of Aiden's all time favorite places, Starbucks; and got a drink and some fruit.

We hope you all had a great night!

Our weekend... in pictures

WOW, did we have a great weekend?! Aiden and I drove to Greenville to pick Ryann up from school. She wasn't sure she wanted to make the long drive back home with us, but in the end I think she was happy she did. It took us over 3 hours to get home, there was traffic the WHOLE way. The kids did great, and the trip was actually a lot of fun! When we got home they got to work on a gingerbread haunted house. Both kids and Daddy seemed to think that was TONS of fun!

It turned out pretty cute, huh?

Saturday we headed out to the Pumpkin Express in Argyle. That place was great, and we hope to make this an annual thing. We got to ride a train, play on the bounce houses, go through a hay maze, and much much more!

After our afternoon nap we headed to the park. That was a lot of fun. Aiden just about gave me a heart attack working on this.

Ryann was so brave on the rock wall....

Then we headed to the safety fair. The kids got to see Care flight helicopters up close; we even got to see one take off. They got to climb in the fire trucks, and then we got to watch the SWAT team take over a car... that was so AWESOME!!!!

Sunday Gamma came over. We just hung out at home and played until Ryann's mommy came by to take her home. It was a very busy and FUN weekend.

Today I ran over the donations, for the family in my previous post: to Adrian's. All I can say is I'm surrounded by the best, most giving people I know - you guys ROCK!!

We are already for tomorrow. My little spider is ready to do some trick-or-treating!! Hope you all have an awesome and SAFE Halloween!

Many, MANY, many more pictures in our gallery!

A family in need....

I just recieved this email from my sister-in-law:

Hello moms out there I have a family in need of some support. Yesterday my daughters best friend (I am best friends with her mom as well) anyway her dads house burned to the ground. They lost EVERYTHING!!! They barely had time to get the kids out and they were not able to get there animals. They had the clothes on their backs and that was it. I feel absolutely horrible for this family of 5. (mom, dad, 2 boys and a little girl) To top things off they were renting. Please pray for this family they are in need of that desperately. I am also hoping to get some clothes donations and any household items for them as well. If you have any "extras" please respond to me. Here are their sizes for the clothes.....
little girl clothes 2t, size 6 shoe
little boy size clothes 3t, size 8 shoe
little boy size clothes 5t, size 1 shoe
mens medium shirt, 34 pant, size 10 shoe
women's med shirts, size 3 pants, 8 shoe

Tooth Brush? No, no that can't be right!

This is how I started my morning:
Mommy, "Aiden go to the bathroom so I can brush your teeth."

Aiden, "I love my new teeth brush!!"

Mommy, "I'm so glad you love it, but it's a tooth brush; not teeth brush"

Aien, "No, no... You brush my TEETH, not just my tooth"

Mommy, mumbles to herself, "I can't argue with that!"

Aiden and I woke up to an empty house. Adam left for the week. We miss him like crazy when he is gone, but also LOVE the time to ourselves. We also woke up to a COLD front!! I already miss the warm summer sun!!!

We had a wonderful weekend!!! Friday was Adam's day off, so we took Aiden to play at Paradise Pond - we love that place!!
Saturday we had to redecorate the yard. We suspect a dog got a hold of our blow up pumpkins. I started our shopping trip saying, "I want cute Halloween, not scary" somehow that translated into turning the front yard into a grave yard - yeah not sure how that happened! It looks great though!!! Adam and Papa took a trip to Frisco Saturday night to watch some tennis. They got to watch McEnroe and Courier.

What is the fun of watching McEnroe, if you don't get to see him have it out with the ref??

Adam had a blast!!
Sunday Aiden got to try his hand at flying a kite. The weather was PERFECT. He thought it was pretty cool, but lost interest when we pulled out the football. In looking at the pictures you notice Aiden wearing gloves... yeah, I have no clue what that was all about. He asked to wear them when we were getting him dressed, and surprisingly they stayed on almost all morning.

We forgot all about the Blue Angels coming to town, but that turned out to to be okay, we got to see most of the show sitting in our front yard.

I would file Sunday and our trip to the park under wonderful! The whole day was filled with family time. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my Sunday.

I'm working on getting pictures from the weekend up, check back soon to see those - I'll edit this post later to add a few.
