New Hat....

busy busy weekend

Let's start with Thursday...
Thursday night my sister Lindsey and Brian came up with their kids to stay the night. Brian had to be in Bloomington on Friday so Lindsey and her kids hung out with us:) The kids had a great time playing together. There were lots of laughing!! Then when Jesse got home from work and got ready Bodie, Jesse and I headed to Greenwood to finish up our Christmas shopping while Lindsey and Brian babysat for Austin and Hailee. Okay well our trip was fustrating to say the least. We rushed around store to store grabbing all the items we needed... We got home at 1 in the morning on Saturday. Then I had to stay up and wrap the gifts I needed to take to Odon, pack overnight bags for all of us. I made it to bed aroun 330 ish and had to be up at 7 to finish getting ready and get on the road headed to Odon. Yeah Jesse and I were TIRED!
On Saturday we enjoyed a family gathering at Cindy's for the Eaton side. Lots of yummy food, and visits with family. After everyone left then we did our Christmas with Bill and Cindy!! The kids got lots of new clothes, and games, and toys... They were so excited and very happy! Later that evening we headed over to my mom's to spend the night. I think we got to bed at midnight there.
Sunday morning I got up and helped mom get stuff ready. All my sister's, brother, and grandma Wanda came to spend the day and celebrate. Another yummy meal, lots of playing, and more toys. We also celebrated birthday's (Brian, and Zaden) while there. We left there around 330 and headed home.
When we got home and unloaded things, I realized how much work I have to do. I have mounds of laundry to do in the laundry room and tons of toys, and games laying on my couch that I have to make room for. So that is my job for the day:)
Now it is Monday and Jesse is on call this whole week.... What a weekend, now I need some time to catch up on sleep and relax:)

Prayers

Please keep Jesse's dad in your prayers. He was in the hospital, but is being released today to come home. He is doing better, thank goodness!!

Last night, we took the kids for a drive through the park. It really doesn't matter how many times we drive through it, they still get excited to see the Christmas lights and decor. They LOVE it!! When we got home they decided to watch some Christmas shows that were on TV~ Hailee got out her "camping bag" so that she could lay down and watch them. I loved walking in the living room and seeing them laying on the floor in their sleeping bags watching tv together. So Sweet!! Soon they will have to make room for Bodie~ I am sure that he will be right there in the middle of them :)
We have no big plans for this weekend~ yay!! We are just getting some stuff done around the house that is on the TO DO LIST... Yeah that list keeps getting longer and longer. We are also getting our final list ready and our last minute things together. We are planning a day of shopping next week. Then it will be to Odon for that weekend to celebrate some Christmas with our families.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Remember a loved one

A year ago today was the day that Grandma Marjorie Eaton went to be with our heavenly father. She is GREATLY missed everyday by all, but never forgotten. We are going to take time out this evening and talk about all the things we remember about her. I am sure that there are many stories that Jesse will be sharing with us all. So to all of you that knew her take time and do the same. I am sure she is smiling down upon us.

My little guy is growing up and full of smiles:)

Why is it so hard to get a picture of all three kids looking at you? Ha ha. Well I tried:)

Austin and Hailee love to lay and watch Bodie or make him smile!! They are GREAT big brother and sister!! Here is a picture I captured:)

This is a present that the doctor got Bodie! I think it is neat (cloth diaper). Just wanted to share it with you all!

Moment to Cherish

Just wanted to share with you something that I have been enjoying this week.... I love watching Bodie get so excited when he see's and hears his brother Austin and sissy Hailee walk in the room and talk to him. Bodie gets his feet a kicking and his arms a swinging~ a big grin and lots of cooing. It is these moments that I cherish!!
