Stuckey Christmas '07

Christmas this year was busy. We had 13 people total in a 3 bedroom ranch + a camper (for sleeping). There were 6 kids ripping through packages like mad. Paper flying everywhere. We started the day with a quiet reading. The kids sat together on the couch. The boys had a very Star Wars Christmas!! They are enjoying movie nights a lot. I still don't think we have made it through all episodes. Mommy got a lot of grief for getting a baby a kitchen but she LOVES it...as I said for her birthday blog...ALL GIRL ALL THE TIME!!

We enjoy this Christmas a lot. It was great to have the whole fam together.

Savannah turns 1!

Happy Birthday, Savannah!!

So, do you like the cake?

Pretty paper!

I love my baby doll! All girl, all the time!!

The beach in December

We went to Mexico Beach, FL the beginning of December. We had a large crowd of family and friends. However, our large crowd had the WHOLE beach as far as the eye could see.

Jason buried all the boys. Savannah had fun picking on them when they couldn't get her back!

My step-sister, her husband and daughter came down from Alabama. Also, long time family friends, Craig and Nancy were there. It was a great time to see each other.

The boys loved playing in the water. I think that my big toe almost fell off trying it out...oooo, cold!

WE LOVE THE BEACH!!

Purple Belt

Caleb tested in the beginning of November. He did well. However, it was hard breaking the boards. That took a few tries. When we got home he wrote in his journal "I learned to never give up and all ways do your best."

Karate is a great learning experience!

Jared started when he turned 5...he should test soon.

Family Fun Night (Oct. 31, 2007)

On Halloween, we don’t do the norm. We have “Family Fun Night.” This time, we had a fire by the creek.

Smores for dinner cheeseburgers for dessert. Kids get to choose what they want the whole evening. It is usually a blast, this night was not any different.

After dinner, we all played a great game of flashlight tag. A great time was had by all. I think Caleb could have played forever, Mom and Dad, however, were exhausted. Chase is having a great time trying to catch me while I try to get a few pictures.

Jared turns 5 (Oct. 3, 2007)

We took Jared to Fernbank Museum for his birthday. They loved the frog exhibit.

Another favorite is seeing the dino's

Smile! Jared, you are 5!

He also had a fun birthday with friends...being a bad, bad mommy...I forgot my camera. I am hoping one of my sisters has the pictures on their camera but I have not gotten them. Will post, if I find them.

Udderly Hysterical Conversations

(Oct. 23, 2007)Today at lunch, Caleb asked “Are hot dog made from dogs?” I explained that you can buy pork dog or beef dogs. We usually get beef, so that would be cow. Caleb’s next question was “what part of the cow?” Jared answered quickly “it is the part the milk comes out!” I can’t stop laughing!
