Whatcha doin' on your head, Tripp?

Tripp in his new little hat; just thought it was too cute.
Here's what happens when you don't have child locks on the cabinets. He looks so proud!
Claudia and Tripp at Landon's birthday party at McDonald's. Tripp just climbed up there like a big kid!
He really enjoyed the cake and ice cream way more than he did at his own party.

Claudia and Miley, her new American Girl doll.
On the way home from Chicago, we stopped at a mall and all the girls got a Build-A-Bear. This was Claudia's first time getting one. I think she had fun!
Amelia, Claudia, Janelle, and Riley getting their hearts ready to put in their bears.

Claudia and I took a trip to Chicago the first weekend in December. We went with Becky, Janelle, Amelia, Sarah, and Riley. The girls wore matching outfits!

We went to the American Girl Doll store and had a blast! All the girls got dolls and clothes and all the goodies! The store was just wall to wall people; a very popular place to visit.
While we were having lunch it started snowing really hard. We all piled into a horse drawn carriage and took a ride around Chicago, singing Christmas carols and laughing! It was really a special time.

Trick or treating at the Louisville Zoo. We had lots of fun. Here's Claudia, Riley, and Janelle with the Wizard of Oz people.
Tripp and Janelle with the good and bad witches.

Tripp's first carosel ride. He doesn't look very impressed, does he?
My little cowgirl! She looks so grown up!

Tripp's first birthday! He wasn't really impressed by the cake... or the presents for that matter. He liked the paper, though.

Just a few cute pics at Nanna's house in August.

A fun visit with our friends Alyson, Abby, and Mandy at Christies new house in Bowling Green in August.

Two little monkeys sitting in the tree!

Our first, and last, trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. We went with our neighbors Kendall and Maris. We miss you guys!!!

The kids and I went to northern Indiana to Uncle Ernie's and Aunt Karen's for the Hasselbring family reunion back in July. We had a good time swimming, going to the fair, and visiting with family.

As most of you know I've been going thru alot of changes over the past few months. The kids and I are finally settled in our new condo in Louisville and getting ready for Christmas. I've finished my CNA class and take the state exam in January. Hopefully a job will follow. I really appreciate everyone's love and support thru this extremely hard time in my life. I know God is good and has put all of you in my life for a reason. Please continue to pray for us. I'm going to try to get caught up on the kids pictures very soon. Love to you all!!!

We took Claudia to the Hendricks County Fair last night. It was a very small fair, but just perfect for little kids. She had a great time on the rides and eating a giant corndog, her favorite!

Claudia on her way to YMCA day camp. She had a really good time.

Yes, she was getting her hair cut in the driveway. Our friend that's a hairdresser came over and cut Claudia's, HC's, and 3 of our neighbors hair out in the front of the house! :-)
