January 2011




So it's been FREEZING lately. I do NOT like it much. I guess I was outside playing on Friday - it was nice out - high 30s. But now it's getting into the single digits at night - bone chilling cold. Makes me so THANKFUL for a nice warm home to live in; with good windows, good front door, and lots of blankets. I am also thankful for my cute family. I'm posting a few pictures of what's been happening around here in January!
Tanner turned 7 years old on the 14th of January! Here is is with his Kisebach cousins! Tanner got a new bike for his birthday. It's a pretty sweet ride! As I was waiting in line to buy it - I had a dad tell me how cool it was and that someone was going to be pretty happy. And he was right.
JD was growing his hair out - he loves it long. Anyway, his goal to not get it cut till the Bon Jovi concert in March was just not a possibility. His work calls for the more clean shaven, short hair look. His boss at the district was talking to him one day and stopped mid sentence and told him, I really don't like your hair - it's just not you. Funny - she must not really know him :) I doubt she would have said that to a bald guy! I was actually liking JD's hair longer - but he looks good to me no matter what.
Brielle has been having a hard time lately. This picture was taken at 6:30 in the morning. Brielle had woken up around 5:30 and then fell back to sleep in our bed. Then Marissa woke up (highly unusual for her). So JD and I got up and I asked Marissa to stay with her while I made lunches. When I came back to check on them, Brielle had cuddled up to her sister. It was the sweetest thing.
Pretty girl!
Marissa and her friend Mara. They play just about everyday. Mara is 4 but they get a long great. Sundays are funny because Marissa is always asking if Sunday is over yet so she can play with Mara.
My little helper. Marissa loves to help me cook.
Brielle is loving her spaghetti. She kept reaching over and pulling the noodles off of Josh's plate. It was quite the mess.

And lastly, Daddy's little girl. Marissa is in love with her Daddy. It's so sweet. They were dancing and Marissa was making these cute lovey eyes at JD. I was cracking up. So now we like to ask her to show us her lovey eyes and she does this funny look. JD's been so busy at work lately. So many responsibilities at school and the district. So last week he was gone a lot - some days Marissa would only see him for a few minutes in the morning. She woke up one morning and came to me and asked "Is Daddy at the district or school?" First of all how she says district is just cute and second she is just so perceptive. Anyway she then saw a picture of JD on the computer and says "Daddy is my best buddy". So precious!

You're all so adorable. And your little girls are killin' me - remind me of my little ones when they were little a long, long time ago. I am concerned about how JD is going to pull off the Bon Jovi concert now... Love to you all.

Your kiddos are so sweet. I just love seeing them grow. Amen on JD's hair. It just doesn't work.:)
