Christmas Night

Our Family started a new tradtions this year.. GOING OUT TO DINNER ON CHRISTMAS, Habachi Sytle.. For the first time that I can ever remember my Dad G. thought it would be a great idea to join us. The whole family went out and had a wonderful and rememberable Christmas Dinner.

Christmas Morning

Good Morning Jesus! Our morning was beautiful. The kids slept until 7:30 than we slowly opened gifts and enjoyed the moment. We stayed home and just played and played. We did however, make a fast trip outside to see the doctor. Yes, Chason has the FLU, I felt so bad for the little guy. Coral and Canyon played outside with daddy, many games and watched movies. Chason and mommy slept most of the afternoon away. We did however make a new tradtion this year (I HOPE) going out to dinner on Christmas Day. A very very amazing and wonderful day!!!!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! We hope that this season’s greetings find you and your family in good health. We have been so blessed this year in so many ways, and we thank the Lord everyday for what he has given us.

All three of our children are blessings in themselves. Coral is growing so fast. She amazes us every day with her kind and generous heart. The love she shares with others. She’s taking school by a storm, being a super speller week after week and a whiz in math. She loves reading books and wants to go to college to be a teacher. Her teacher, Mrs.Breakey, has really opened her eyes into teaching others. She’s also an amazing big sister to her two little brothers. Her teeth have all come in and her smile has mirrored her Aunt Laverne. I pray she never loses that sweet smile of hers. Coral experienced her first concert this year with her brother and about 20 other kids, Jonas Brothers!! Music has become a big part of her life, she loves to sing all the up to date songs, but turn on the Christian music and she’s shines like a star. Our little girl is growing so fast, Dora has been replaced by iCarly. She bushes her own hair, ties her shoes and yes even picking out her clothes. We are so proud of her, we can send her to friends and know she’ll be kind and be a blessing to all.
Canyon has experience many news things this year. During this fall, he had his first experience with flag football. Believe or not his team was the “Nittany lions.” ‘WE ARE PENN STATE’ He really loved playing, but baseball is still his favorite. . He’s counting the days until our nights are spent on the diamond field. We were surprised to find him able to stand on a surf board the first time in the water. His letters to Santa are a “surf board please.” He also has big interest in skate boarding. He could spend hours outside riding his board up and down the street. Just like his sister he’s smart as a whip. Spelling, reading books and math come so easy for him. His mind is always running and is so interested in anything. He’s growing up so fast and is taking the role of teaching his brother. Canyon is so good with him; he’s a great big brother. The cutest is watching them in the room together and Canyon picks out his clothes and dresses Chason. They are both BOYS, always running, climbing, and getting into mischief.
Chason, WOW Chason he is not a baby any more. He’s new nick name is Junior. In addition to always being right, he walks, eats and talks like his daddy. He keeps us on our toes from morning to night, not really knowing what he’s going to do next. He surprises us with something new every day. He’s his brother and sister biggest fan. Every morning waking them up and telling them it’s time for school. He rubs there back and makes them smile. His daddy is his hero, every night when Curtis walks in the door Chason is right there to greet him and find out how his day was. Telling his daddy he did a great job and he loves him. After six months of ear infection we decided to put tubes in his ears. Within a week we saw a huge difference, he was talking up a storm, words flying out faster than we could teach him. He became a new little boy with a voice. He also started pre-school; he loves his class and his new friend Zacky. Chason is growing so fast and is a great little boy who everyone falls in love with. He has his big sister’s love and shares it with everyone.
As for Curtis and I we are growing each day. We feel so blessed to have three wonderful loving children who teach us how great life is. To keep up with our family and see what’s going on in our lives please feel free to look at our family blog: www.mommysjoyoflife.blogspot.com
Our Love and Trust in our heavenly father, Jesus Christ,
Curtis, Stephanie, Coral, Canyon and Chason

Happy 6th Birthday Canyon

Happy Birthday Canyon. This is my big man. He's such a great kid with a mind that runs 24/7. It doesn't stop. He loves everything and plays any sport you give him. But BOY, OH BOY is he ever a BOY. He loves to climb on everything, jump off the roof if he could, loves being a clown and most of all thinks he knows everything. He was my biggest baby 6lbs and 14oz. He came out screaming and didn't stop till about 14 months. He knew what he wanted and yelled until I figured it out. He kepted me up all the time. Only sleeping an one or two at a time, or when Curtis drove around town for hours in the car. Than one day it stopped, he became this perfect baby. He is my big man, I love you Canyon.. Happy Birthday
