Good morning 2007!

WOW, is anyone else thinking - where did the time go?! Last year FLEW by SO fast, I guess because we had so much going on. Ryann is now 4 1/2 attending school! She is growing too fast to keep up. Aiden will turn two in February! He is growing and changing so much!! We moved into our first home! Adam decided to return to school. My photography business is keeping me busy. Life is good! We brought in the new year with a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, followed by a quiet evening at home. This year promises to be a busy one! Adam will be MIA every Tuesday and Thursday starting late January. He will leave from work, and go straight to school. By the time he makes it home, Aiden and I will be heading to bed. It's going to be tough, but we'll make it. We didn't make resolutions this year; actually I'm not sure I ever have. But, if you did we wish you all the luck!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I can't believe it's already time to bring this year to a close!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas! The celebrating started Christmas Eve at Aunt Kay's house. She SPOILED us this year. It took bringing my truck to haul all the gifts home and Adam's car to bring him and the kid’s home!! We got WAY too many things to list, but the highlights: a pink Kitchen Aid standing mixer for Mommy, a GPS thing for Daddy, Spiderman 4-wheeler for Aiden, and a HUGE kitchen for little Ryann. After we opened gifts came the YUMMY food!!! Then "drinks" and dessert.

We came home and played for a while. Daddy read the kids the Night before Christmas

Then we put out cookies for good Ol Saint Nick!

Santa was very good to us all! The kids got more stuff than they could ever want! Santa brought a small jump house, wagon and some other goodies! Mommy and Daddy got Aiden some drums, and Ryann a baby station, along w/ other goodies! My WONDERFUL hubby surprised me with the thing I wanted MOST - a bike and trailer to pull the kids in! I still have no clue how he got out of bed, set it up and didn't wake me - sneaky sneaky!!

After playing at home it was off the Gamma and Papa's home! More yummy food, and great gifts! We all got SO much stuff! I got the long pink coat that I've been drooling over!

It was a very Merry Christmas! We got to keep Ryann till the 26th, we hated that she didn't get to see her Mommy and sister on Christmas, but because of other family planning conflicts this was just the way it HAD to work :( We dropped her off yesterday; I know she was happy to see that side of family!

Adam's off till after the first! We get some MUCH needed family time before he heads back!

We hope you are all doing great!

Santa Clause is coming to town!

And Ryann CAN'T wait! She has a count down going on her calendar, it's very cute. I love that she is finally old enough to really understand what's going on. I asked her the other night, "Do you know why we celebrate Christmas?" She said, "No" I told her, "it's Jesus' birthday" She then says, "We can't get HIM anything!" It really was funny. Aiden will tell you, Santa brings my toys! That's about as much as he cares to understand at this point.

We're going to be BUSY, BUSY over the next week or so. Tomorrow we'll start making our Christmas cookies. Ryann is really looking forward to that part. We've got things all ready for the big day!

Not a whole lot more to report. Life is hectic, but we're hanging in there. The kids are still growing too fast to keep up with. We've already started planning for Aiden's SECOND birthday, so mark you calendars for Feb. 17, 2007 @3pm. I can't believe how fast these almost two years have gone!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! We'll post some pictures over the next few days! Stay safe and warm!


LOTS OF LOVE,

Mommy, I love you!

Now tell me isn’t that the sweetest thing to hear! Aiden started saying those sweet, sweet words on his own today. He's been able to say it back for a long time now. Today we were in the car, and I hear, "Mommy", "what Aiden", "I ove YOU!!!" It made my heart melt! I wanted to pull over and give him a great big hug! He is talking up a storm these days. Most everything he says is very clear. Even people who don't know him, or spend much time with him understand most things he says.

Aiden is doing wonderfully in gymnastics. His coach has been very impressed with how quickly he has learned. He really loves going. When I tell him, "time to go to gymnastics" he throws his arms in the air and says, "whew-who! play! I want to jump!" (they start the class on the trampolines).

Christmas is right around the corner!!! Everyone is very excited, but I'm wondering - where did this year go?! Time has FLOWN!

We hope you're all doing great! Please be careful as your traveling during this busy time of the year.

Merry Fuson Christmas!!!!

We had our first Christmas celebration on Saturday. Some of the Fuson clan came over for good food, and great fun!!! It was so great to see everyone who was able to make it. It's crazy to think how much our family has grown - and so quickly! We are now up to EIGHT grandchildren! Colton, (the oldest) will be NINE next month!!! It seems like only yesterday he was Aiden's age!

I made my first and second turkey - they turned out really good! I was so scared I was going to ruin everything. I worried all day, but in the end everything was eatable! LOL!!! Everyone who came brought some yummy food too, so needless to say we'll be eating turkey, ham and brisket for the next week or so!

We were all so excited to have everyone over. Ryann asked ALL day when her cousins would get there. She couldn't wait to play with everyone! She told us 100+ times, "I want them to get here, I miss all my cousins SO much!" It was so nice to visit with everyone. We all live less than an hour apart, but life with kids keeps us too busy to visit very often. My cousin Jennifer and her boyfriend John were able to come this year, it was great to have them too! Uncle Frank and Aunt Brenda couldn't make it after all, we missed them; and hope to see them soon!!

The kids couldn't wait to open gifts! Ashelynn got to be "Santa" this year. Once she was done handing out gifts and I told the kids to tear in - they did! It was so funny; I wish we had video to share. It was like they had been waiting to open that first gift all their life... funny! Ryann and Aiden got some great gifts! After opening gifts we visited for a while longer, and then everyone headed home. We had a wonderful time visiting and playing with our family and can't wait to do it again!

After having Ryann for a little over three weeks, we took her back to her Mommy today. We were sad to see her go, but know she has missed her "other" family and was ready to go back. We'll pick up again real soon - she'll be her Christmas morning, and we can't wait!

New pix in our albums!

Visiting Santa!!!

The kids went to visit Santa today. Ryann told us before we left the house, that she did not want to sit with Santa. We told her that was fine, turns out she didn't want to be anywhere near the big guy. Aiden on the other hand, has made a friend for life! He LOVED Santa! He sat there and let us take all the pictures we wanted.


We're off to see Happy Feet.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!

Transitioning....

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!! We sure did! Ryann knows how to eat herself through the holidays. LOL!!! We spent Thanksgiving Day with Gamma, Papa and the rest of the Nabors clan. Aiden entertained us all with his drumming/singing skills! He LOVES Uncle Brent's drums, and he LOVES to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - those two things put together made for some great entertainment! I was able to get a lot of work done, the kids got to play with their Grandparents - and not much makes them happier! Adam got to eat and be lazy - it was a wonderful day for us all.

We came home early enough to get our tree put up/decorated. The kids had a blast!


Aiden got to put the star up this year. Our little boy is getting so big!!

This afternoon we put up the lights on the house. Ryann says, "It feels like Christmas here. I'm so excited about our tree, and presents!!!" We completed all our shopping, and have just about everything under the tree, which means we've already heard about a THOUSAND times, "I wanna open this one... It has MY name on it!" We still have tons to do to get the rest of the house "ready" for Christmas, but I have to agree with Ryann - it's starting to feel a little like Christmas!

We hope you're all doing great, and that you enjoyed your day(s) off for Turkey day!!!

So how did you celebrate the Aggies big win?!

The holidays are here!!!!!!!

Happy early Thanksgiving everyone!!!! We'll be at Gamma and Papa's tomorrow celebrating. Ryann CAN NOT wait, she has been asking her mom, when is Thanksgiving since Sunday.

We've been busy! Aiden started his gymnastics class at ASI last night. He did really great! It's amazing what they can teach such small kids. The only thing he didn't really like was the balance beam, but that's because he wanted to jump off it instead of walk on it ;) Ryann is also in tumbling and I think she likes it. She doesn't talk about it much, but she seems happy!

I can't wait for tomorrow to be over. I'm not a big fan of Thanksgiving; the day feels like it DRAGS to me. I'm planning on getting some work done, so that'll be good. My photography business is booming right now, which we are thrilled about! I have multiple shoots every weekend, and a few during the week. It makes for hectic times, but I do love it; so it's worth it. Not a whole lot to report, the kids are growing like weeds - shocking us everyday with how smart they are. Adam is still working second shift, but that should be ending pretty soon - just in time to start school! I'm busy with the house, Aiden, mom's group and work. Things are good, we have TONS to be thankful for this year - God has blessed us in so many wonderful ways!!!!

Kinda late but, Congrats to Patrick and Jayme on the purchase of their first home! We are so excited and can't wait to see it!!!

Another Congrats to the Ensey family who just welcomed new baby Elizabeth Marie into the world. Mommy and baby are both doing well. Jenny said this delivery was much eaiser than with Chandler!!! We love you guys, and are so happy for you - can't wait to meet her!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, PLEASE be careful if you plan on driving/flying for the holidays!!!!
