Why you should ALWAYS wear your WiiMote wrist strap...

This is the kind of thing that people should see. It's like watching what happens to your brain in a bike accident with and without a helmet. I doubt anyone who sees this will use their Wii again without the wrist strap!

Some tech stuff

At Thanksgiving, a few people in Krista's family asked me to start posting the useful tidbits of helpful information I find online regularly. I know Julie does a lot of stuff with Photoshop Elements and wants to play with it a bit more. I figured this would be a good start:

First is how to remove objects from photos to clean them up:

Second is how to merge two photos together. Put yourself somewhere you've never been!

As I run across this stuff - I'll post more.

It's SNOWING!

I love snow and I love playing in it. I was even more excited to take Will out in it. I was working on Monday...the first day of real snow to play in. We all went out and met up with some neighborhood kids to play in the snow.

We also went over to their school where there are small hills to sled down. Even Conor and Will had a turn sledding. It was both their first time and they had a blast.


Overall, we had such a great time. Will had trouble grabbing anything or getting up once he fell but he loved watching everyone and did fairly well walking around in clunky boots. We were having so much fun we ended up staying out for over an hour and a half.

Giving Thanks

What a fantastic Thanksgiving Day we had. We spent Sunday with the Pankaus and Thursday with the Paynes. God has blessed us with such a wonderful family who all get along and love each other. Both our families are always there to help us out if we need it. God has also blessed us with a beautiful little boy who is so easy going and lively. I thank God that we are all healthy. I am thankful for such an amazing and helpful husband. I also thank God for himself and the wonderful gift of salvation that he has given us. Thank you God for Jesus Christ who loved us so much that he came to die and raise again for our sins.

Here is a glimpse of our Thanksgiving at the Payne's house.





Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

My little Firefighter

What a fun Halloween we had this year. Will was just so precious.



I (Krista) took Will over to my sister's to watch her daughter Kiana so she could go to her two boys school parties. Kiana and Will were so cute together.


Nana was there to keep my company and enjoy her grandchildren. We had fun playing with them.



When we got home, Will found a ladder in our garage to climb that Mike had left out for me. Will was so excited...and yes, he climbed it all by himself.


I hope you enjoyed a little peek at our Halloween. Happy Halloween to you and remember that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God and he loves you.
