My so called great idea??!!!???

Jared was gifted some wood working tools for his birthday and I got the great idea that we should make the kids' Christmas gifts this year. What???? Let's just say after two months, 3 days taken off work and an 18 hour marathon that included the entire extended Trefethen clan they were finished. The girls' got a Barbie doll house and a Webkinz dog house (If you don't know what those are than you must be living in a cave!) and Mikey got some wooden blocks. Jared and I had a lot of fun and some great fighting time in our garage.

Naomi the star!

Naomi starred in her kindergarten production of stone soup. It was so cute. We loooooooove her teacher Mrs. Clements!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is awesome!

Cowboy Michael??

Maybe we have been in Texas too long!

Naomi....

Typical!

A very sad day for the Trefethen's. Our very good friends the Kearns moved away last week. Mason, Naomi's "boyfriend" is a very loved part of that family! For the last day Lea (my friend), and our children visited Naomi at school for lunch.
Naomi and Mason

Let's just say that Naomi was a little sad about Mason leaving! :(
Okay truth be told she wasn't the only one crying.
Lea and I during better times...(Baby Taylor's blessing)
How cute is she!!!!!! (Both of them) :)

We miss you Sam, Lea, Mason, Abby and Taylor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who has been around us lately knows what a challenge it has been to keep clothing on Michael. He is right in the middle of potty training and I guess we allowed him to go in the buff a little too long! Anyway, I took a couple of pictures of him to show a typical day of getting him dressed, and this is only the underwear!
Backwards but at this point we're okay with that!


Can you see him? Look behind the island, keep in mind I am running to catch him!

Around the corner and safe on through the living room for lap 2....

I guess you have to be smarter than the 2 year old! I finally realized a bribe with big sister's Leapster could sidetrack him! Maybe tomorrow he'll get some clothes?????

Getting ready for Christmas!!

A December night in Texas, Gorgeous!
Maddie danced as Mary and even had a solo!
We had to put the star on twice, both girls remembered it was their job every year!

Our awesome trip to Cali for Thanksgiving!

Mom bought a Wii and everyone loved it, well unless we were playing Guitar Hero!

All the men in the kitchen, just where they belong! Way to go Mom!!


Honestly, could he be any cuter?
The pool was so fun for everyone. My dad loved taking Jane and Michael for a swim.
My kids adored their cousin Jane, she is sooooo cute!!!

My crazy new haircut....
