Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years!!! We have had a great 2009. I'm sure you all know but time flies! I sit here with a new year at hand and can't help but be extremely thankful for all I am blessed with, the good and the average. :)
For the first time in almost 3 years we had family pictures taken. Here are a few...it was freezing so we had to use bribery for them to get out of the car one more time for this one of all of us. We offered "the biggest, fattest Ice Cream they have ever seen", and gum for Carson. If you look close you can see the green between his teeth.
Merry Christmas from our bright house to yours. And Kev said he wasn't going to do lights this year!
The Sommer family sent an amazing woman home to heaven this holiday season. Grandma Sommer (Kevin's Grandma) passed away Dec. 30th. We had the opportunity to share Christmas Eve with the whole Sommer gang- this was the last picture taken with her. There are over 50 people with only a few missing. Almost everyone got to say goodbye and be here for the funeral. It was a bitter- sweet experience. We will miss her and I have truly realized now what type of impact being a good, loving, and hard working mom can make. It really does carry on through generations. This picture is proof!
Decorating the Christmas tree....and Carson continually un-decorating the tree, everyday!
We left Santa Grasshopper cookies and Mt. Dew this year!
Carson got a broom, he loves it! We decided he needed to start pulling his weight around here.
Sick baby....
Happy Halloween?!? This is the first year we haven't had a specific "theme", sad for me but fun for them. Yes, Kevin wore that (inflatable pumpkin)to work all day. ;)
We hope everyone's holidays were great, thanks for being a part of our lives!

Merry Christmas! So fun to see such beautiful pictures of you and your beautiful family! We sure love you guys! Tell Kev Great job on the lights this year! Love you! muah!
OH I MISS YOU! Your kids are so cute and growing so fast! I used your fun nail kit yesterday! So fun!
I love your family pics. You look so good! I love how you have a little of every holiday thrown in there. That is my kind of blogging.
Hey Steph I just wanted to say you look georgous!!! And your kids are so cute too. Sorry I missed you over the holidays! I really wanted to get together with you guys but with 2 kids and no car I didn't get out too much. I love your family picture! It turned out great! Who took it?
Love ya!
Man, it's too bad that we don't live closer to each other, cuz I think Adam could use sometime with KC and have some of his humor rub off on him! Two reasons- one-he wouldn't be caught dead in a costume like that, and two-he vows to never ever do xmas lights (yours btw- very classy).
on a sad note, Adam was very sad to hear about Maxine. I think she was quite important to him too. I never had the chance to meet her, but heard lots of stories.
Have a great new year- and we are expecting a baby girl in June.
I LOVE it! What fun pictures! Your family pictures turned out AMAZING and you look absolutely gorgeous! The kiddos are growing up way too fast! I can't believe how big Carson is! Ewe, I am tired of being away from my friends! I miss you and just want to come hang out! Love the update!
Oh, and I'm sorry about Grandma Sommer! That is such a hard time, but I'm sure so happy for her.
Those pictures turned out so cute! I loved your Christmas card. Sorry to hear about your Grandma, I really wish we could of hung out. Hopefully we can get together soon!
