Christmas 2011

So I must be getting worst at blogging because the pictures came posted in all the wrong spots and I don't know(and part of me just doesn't care right now) to try and move them to the right spot. I could probably blame my computer again!! Anyway, we had a fabulous Christmas. Jer and I have been so blessed this year and are so grateful for such wonderful family and friends we get to be surrounded by daily. This year was especially fun with the boys. The only hard part about having 3 boys is that you can't get something cool for one without getting it for the other ones. Plus they wrote their list together and ended up having identical list, which in all reality made my job much easier. Here we are Christmas morning ripping through the gifts. They were fun to watch and all of them got watches and pocket knives (I know what was I thinking right) but they could have stopped there! Waiting to be released to come and open presents Christmas morning. We ended up waking our boys up Christmas morning, mostly to shower and be ready so they could have fun opening gifts instead of feeling rushed to get to church!

Random picture, but Carter had a Christmas program. He is such a fun and happy kid and loves to play until you put him in front of a crowd and then he shuts off, so I have been very impressed with how much he does the actions and sings with the group. Love the Chub!!

So Handsome!!



One of my dear friends gave the boys these antlers and I shockingly they wore them around for a little bit. It at least lasted long enough for me to get a picture!


Over the break we headed up the mountain with Jers family to do some 4-wheeling and pull the sleds. Since it was so warm there was not much snow so it wasn't snow sledding it was mud sledding, but they had a blast. Anything that allows my boys to get dirty with Mom and Dads permission is always a bonus! This is the whole group that headed up with us!

We did find a little snow!!

The boys geared up and ready to head up the "B"!!

The winner of "Best Christmas present ever" goes too..... the Bunnies. All the boys had a puppy on their list for Christmas so we settled for bunnies instead. The result was the same and they boys loved them. We just hope the bunnies are durable enough to survive all the love that they get from the boys!! Cause it is TOUGH love... literally!!

Carter with "Army", Cole with "Thumper" and Tate with "Bugsy" the newest members of the Terry household, at least for the now.

Trying to clean off some of the mud after wheeling.

NEW YEARS EVE

We had Jeremy's oldest sister in town over the break and had them come up New Years eve for some fun. We had sinner and then played some games and ended the night with noise makers and a silly sting war. It was a wonderful holiday break.

Holiday Catch-Up....Again!!!

So by no fault of my own I have gotten behind on blogging again! This time was really our computer, I have tried to post several times and have been unsuccessful due to computer issues. So again we are playing catch-up. The motivation behind this one is so that when our next little one arrives I feel like I can post because I am all caught up. So with the said, we had a fabulous Thanksgiving (with or without snow). Its hard to believe that the Holidays are all over and that we are moving ahead with a new year. It seems like summer just ended......(and with the weather that spring is now here)! We spent a lot of the holidays up in Huntsville even though it was not the most ideal conditions. There was just enough snow to not really be able to do anything and just enough for the same but we still had a good time! Olivia, Cole and Dayvis made use of their time by using the bendaroos (who knew bendaroos) but I thought it was such a neat wall! I got a kick out of what Carter was Thankful for Elephants, Chickens, $-wheelers and his brothers. When I told Jer that at least there was one priority on there he said... 4-wheelers, so I guess I shouldn't really be surprised at the list!!

The boys wrestled again this fall. They both did great, Cole is a very natural athlete and little Tate has to deal with Cole so he didn't do to bad. There were still a few tears this year, but overall a fun year to watch them improve. Cole took 1st in a tournament that they were in and Tate took 2nd. There were both very please with the results!!

No Thanksgiving is complete without a little football!! The snow made things a little interesting, but everyone still had a lot of fun!! We had some new additions this year which added to the fun and the competition!!

Finding things to do with the snow when there was not that much snow to play in!!

The boys also did the Thanksgiving 1K at the Rec center. Cole is so competitive that he want to win and the other are just happy to get the T-shirt. Either way its a good way to burn some energy and have some family fun!
