It's true, I'm the worst blogger mom ever!

Once again, it has been forever since my last post. We've been busy with Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping and other random excuses : ) But I have finally gotten around to posting some pics...so enjoy! Over Thanksgiving we attempted to get a shot of the entire family. Here's one for the scrapper, but I thought it was a good example of John and Brent being goofballs. : )

This is a pic of Jacob showing off his new hair cut. It's already time to get him a trim!

Here's Maggie showing off a pretty dress from Nana.

Ahhh, Maggie sitting on her potty. She has done a few "things" in the potty, but nothing on a regular basis...mostly because I'm not focused on training her right now so it's still sort of fun and new to her. I'm sure as soon as I get serious about training her she will completely rebel and not step foot near the potty.

Jacob loving on Nana.

Here is the kids' Christmas present from my mom and dad....JUNGLE GYM! Sa-weet!! Shout out to the guys who broke their backs to get it in our back yard!

Jacob's inagural climb up the jungle gym.

My grandparents got to visit on their way back from a wedding. In this picture Jacob was educating Pawpaw on volcanoes...a topic he (Jacob) is quite knowledgable about.

Granny holding Maggie...Maggie won't let anyone read to her. She insists on holding the book completely by herself. She opens the book up, turns one page and says, "the end!"

Wonderful news! Lauren and Clint got engaged on Thanksgiving morning. This is a pic of them right after the engagement as they came to my parents to show off her ring. Yea for them!!! Wedding to be in May of 2010!

I couldn't resist posting this adorable picture of Maggie and my dad. On a side note, most everyone thinks my kids are true Sheltons...which they are for the most part. But, check out Maggie's cheeks compared to my dad's...I've always thought that both our kids have our cheeks. Don't laugh, I'm being serious!

Here's a shot of Jacob coloring on our chalk board...we're supposed to count down the days to Christmas, but I just let him add his own touch. On another note, he wrote his name for the first time this week at Mrs. Lisa's. ALL BY HIMSELF! He's a genius.

Mom bought the kids some sticky ornaments that are supposed to be placed on windows. Well, mom, they stayed on the windows for about five minutes before the kids got them back down. Maggie proceeded to shred them to pieces over the next several days. Sorry!
