Spencer & Santa



Today we set out on a trip to the Mall to see Santa. Isn't it funny how the whole list changes whenever they sit on Santa's lap? Spencer ask for a blue Power Ranger...I thought to myself, "A WHAT?" He has never played with or mentioned a power ranger before. Anyway, he did ask for Crocs, and that was on his list, so maybe Santa will bring them.

We hope everyone has a good day and weekend. Maybe we will have a baby soon. Keep your fingers crossed and keep us in your prayers.

A Busy Christmas Weekend



We had a very busy weekend. We started by going to see Charlotte's Web on Friday, Sorry no pictures. Spencer and Elizabeth really enjoyed it. Of course they cried. It was a little sad, Spencer pulled his knees to his chest and dropped his head in his knees and just cried and cried. Then Saturday we went to decorate a gingerbread man for Santa and make reindeer food at a little shop over in Camden. As you can see, Denise & I took Spencer, Makenzie and Elizabeth. The kids had a blast. Their cookies turned out so cute. Afterwards, we went to Chili's for lunch. Later that afternoon, we had our annual Christmas Social at church in which i was in charge of the Nativity scene. It turned out to be short, sweet and to the point. I was inspired by Charlie Brown's christmas cartoon. St Luke being read to the soft piano in the background...it was nice {if I must say so myself}. Anyway, after that, Tim & I went to a Holiday drop-in at Keith & Jody Barton's. We ended up not staying very long, but we still enjoyed ourselves. Sunday was the annual Reynolds Family christmas lunch and gift exchange at Uncle Bo & Aunt Junko's. Thanks for coming Ashley to support your family...just kidding...I know you are packing. Spencer and all the kids had a good time. It's funny how some of the older ones seperated from the younger kids, it we like they were "TOO COOL" to do the "KID" thing. Everyone is growing up so fast, it's just amazing. Times like this bring back memories of my childhood, and memories of those who are no longer here...Sullivan and Gma. We miss them so much, but we know they are together and watching over us.

Have a good Christmas weekend. We have several things planned, we'll just have to see what happens with the baby. Seems like I am making life in the womb a little too comfortable. LOL

Goff Family Baby Shower


OK...OK... I am a little behind. I have been crazy cleaning and getting ready for the baby. My Honey-Do list turned into a Mom-do list. Translation=everything I had ask Tim to do by Dec 6 was completed by my wonderful mother. According to Tim, the house is "clean". He doesn't understand WHY the ceiling fans need to be dusted or the floors and bathrooms cleaned. Thanks to my mother, the chores were all done. Don't get me wrong, I've done my fair share of work too. Which included scrubbing bathrooms floors on my hands and knees as well as the usual, laundry, dishes, etc. I even found time to make 6 baby blankets for all the new babies in our family for Christmas, plan a play for our church social, send out christmas cards, shower thank you cards....and the list goes on.
Here is the only picture I could load. This is my shower at Denise's house given by her and the Goff family. The food was delicious. Thanks to all for the gifts and the fun and fellowship.
