Movie Time

Cooper got to go and see his first movie. It was Bolt. He would not take his eyes off the screen. Here is a picture of him and his favorite part.....

POPCORN BUCKET!!!

Fire Truck with Grandpa McPherson

As most of you know my dad is the Fire Chief for the Fairbury Fire Department. This year he drove one of the fire trucks in their Christmas parade. The boys and I rode in the truck and threw out candy. They had so much fun! Here are some pictures before we left at the fire station.

Christmas Tree 2008

The boys wanted to start putting up the tree. Please keep in mind this was a 2 day process. This is just after getting the tree and lights up.



Don't they look nice in this one

















Collin's face cracks me up in this one!!

Trip to North Carolina

As most of you know, we went to North Carolina to see Eric one last time before he left. It was a good trip! It was a long ride, but the boys did really well with it. When they saw Eric, they were not sure what was going on. They were surprised! We tried to do as many things with the kids that we could do. We ended up having to take Cooper to the doctor while we were there and he had pneumonia. He is doing better now, but it was a hard time for him. Eric had to go back on Friday, so we spent the day getting the kids ready for another good-bye. They did pretty well with it. It is just going to be hard for us to not see or hear from him very much in the next 9 months.
