Nathan's christmas wish list

So Sunday night I asked the boys to start making their wish list for Christmas. The boys started sharing what they want. Well then Nathan looks at me and says " Mom I can't write!!" and I said " I know sweetie, but you can draw." so he got some paper and starts drawing away.. and here is Nathan's wish list

So here is Nathan's wish list, 2 sleds for when we go to grandma's house and its snowing..

and Nathan wants this Air Hog mini battle helicopter set. and the CD that shows how to play it..

I just thought this was so sweet. I wanted to share it.

Happy Birthday to ME...lol

Nathan and his Pec's Book..

Nathan has one of these books at school. The teachers and staff have noticed a change with Nathan using one at school. So I thought it would be good to have one.. I are hoping to go to our family's for Christmas and I know at times Nathan can get over whelmed. So I asked the school if you could use one at home..

This is what the book looks like

These are some of the icons in the bookThis is Nathan and his book

• Sam has had 2 more basketball games and they won them both.
• We had family come in from out of town.
• I had my Birthday.
• and now we are getting ready for Thanksgiving..
• and my Daddy's Birthday.

Seems like I'm missing something.. BUT I can't think of anything..

Oh yea, my niece Sarah ran away (again) about 5 or 6 months ago. Well praise the LORD she was found about 2 weeks ago.. She is back in Juve. I'm so thankful that we know where she is laying her head down at night.. I got to see her (Nov 20th) and she looked good.

He Voted

Yeapers.. Matt is now 18 and he voted for the first time.. It was so cool.. I wanted to take a picture of him inside really voting but they would not let me.. oh Well.. I understand they have rules.. but it is BIG stuff.. any way.. Here he is after he voted..

Sam's playing Basketball..

Here is his first game.. They won 31 to 50.. I was happy for Sam team.. but then we found out that his all 7Th grade team played agents 5Th and 6Th and 1 7Th grader.. but it was still a great game.. here are some random photos of the game and some photos of the rest of the family watching the game... Sam scored 5 points.. and also had at least 10 rebounds. he played 2 1/2 quarters of the game. oh and his number is 40

Well I wanted to add more photos of Sam playing by my computer is acting crazy right now.. so here are the ones it will let me download

I love this one of Matt and Jason..

Nathan and Myself

Nathan

UPDATE: I want to obey Jesus...

Well, Nathan got off the bus yesterday saying "Mom, I so so sorry, I had a change of heart." and I was like what happen Nathan and gave him a hug and told him it would be ok.. Well then he showed me..lol The teacher gave Nathan a pumpkin yesterday at school and Nathan carved a pumpkins.. I feel sad for Nathan but I so understand. Nathan all evening kept saying God I'm so sorry that I changed my mind.. and tell me that he was sorry that his brain forgot to not do the pumpkin.. and I kept telling him that I forgave him.. and I was so sure that God forgave him too..


Then I Kept thing about the whole thing and then a WOW moment came to me., how how many times have I done this to God, in my prayer time I will say oh God I am going to fast for you for so many days.. and then after so many days I fail I will eat something that I said I would not do or drink something that I said I would fast... or I tell them LORD I'm going to read the bible in a year but I don't finish it... So thankful for Gods saving grace and mercy for us all.

I'm so thankful that Nathan did come to me and say I'm sorry.. BUT most of all I'm thankful that Nathan went to the feet of Jesus and asked God to forgive him..
