Christmas Pagent

Staring Wiseman Billy...and the Sheppard JJ!

Our first snow...

Less than an inch and freezing cold...but that does not stop Billy and JJ from a few snowboarding runs....

All About My Birthday

I had a great birthday...with 3 parties. The first one was at school, and we decorated gingerbread cookies. Can you guess why it looks like I have blood in my mouth...it is just fake blood because it is icing from the decorating! My big party was at the Wellness Center where I got lots of cool presents from my friends. It was a hockey party and we were the Virginia Bears Hockey Team. I designed our uniforms. I was number 8...JJ was number 5 because those are our ages. We also jumped from higher mats to lower mats. I hit my b**t one time and almost cracked my neck another time. My last party was with my family at Den and Dee's house where I got more really awesome presents from everyone...plus snowboarding lessons in Janurary from Mom Mom and Pa! My birthday was awesome!!!

Billy is 8

See these two picutres? What is the difference? The one on the left is the last one taken as a 7 year old Billy...the one of the right is the first taken as an 8 year old Billy. My, how he has grown!
**As a side note, I told JJ to say something behind me to make Billy smile in his 8 year old shot...and without missing a beat, he yelled...'Chicken Poop'!

Here is Billy's account of his last day as a 7 year old:

"Tomorrow is my birhday. Today I am still 7. This is what happened: I had a guy come in and talk to us from Jamestown about Indians. It was cool. Then I had drama after school. And then mom said me and JJ could have McDonalds for dinner as a special treat which was really cool. We had fun at dinner...laughing about something Bevis said that we saw on Youtube. Then we made gingerbread cookies to take to my class for tomorrow. My birthday party is also tomorrow. It is going to be fun. I am excited.

O Christmas Tree

Here ye Here ye....A change to Billy and JJ blog. Billy is now typing in his own blogs!
This morning we went to my teachers christmas tree farm and cut down a tree,it was very fun.It is called Carter Coffman christmas tree farm. And my teachars name is mrs.coffman. We got a big tree. Mrs.coffman is a great teacher(& has great chistmas tree farm).I helped cut down the tree & when we setted up the tree Mickey cussed a lot. IT WAS VERY FUN.

**Unfortunately we do not have a picture from the Christmas tree farm to post because Minnie had an accident with her memory card. But here is our tree in full glory. It is tilted with a big hole and sometimes the lights dont work. But it is ours....and we love it!

Giving Thanks....

We are a little behind on this post, but we did travel to Ohio for Thanksgiving Holiday. Our family has so much to be Thankful for...mostly each other. Here is Billy and JJ's lists for 2010:

Billy: "I'm thankful for football, sports, friends, God, family and hockey!"

JJ: "I am thankful Christmas is coming (and there are only 22 more days, I know that from school...and tomorrow there will only be 21), learning to spell words, books, French Toast, Good TV shows (like Arthur) and my family."
