Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas


While Toby was home this last weekend, he went over to storage and got our tree so we could also have our tree in the house for Christmas. The boys were thrilled as they decorated the tree!!! Daddy got it all set up and ready for the boys to get the ornaments on. TJ got so creative he had to climb UNDER the tree to get the back and Tyler loved putting all the ornaments in one place. It turned out just as pretty as ever and the boys were quite proud when they were done!

Last soccer game

Soccer season is over for now. They had a great last game and won 2-1! Soccer has been such a blast we are going to miss it so much! At least we have the spring. Basketball is right around the corner and the fun begins all over again. Here is an awesome picture Toby took of Toby on the last game.

New Additions to the Willis Family

So like I said in the last blog, The boys won 2 new goldfish at the fall festival, so here is Baby Fishy and Nemo! They now have a tank that they live in now, but I just haven't gotten a picture of that!

Where did October go?






So October is gone..Not a lot of pictures were taken but it was a festive month with halloween and all so here are some pictures of that. Lets see we started the day with decorating pumpkins, then we moved on to carving the big pumpkin, then made so very YUMMY popcorn balls (as you can see the kids enjoyed eating them as they made them), then we got our costumes on and headed out trick or treating. Toby was a Ninja, Tyler was Batman, Austin was a Ninja too, and Ashley was Hannah Montana. OK so she absolutely HATED the wig, but I managed to get a very quick pic in it. The wig, then transferred to me briefly...and then about 30 minutes later it was irritating..Michelle and I wore our light up halloween shirts and some eyelashes..lol..that was our costume. Some of the pics are from halloween night and some our from Michelles churchs Fall Festival..which was a lot of fun and we now have 2 Goldfish named Baby Fishy and Nemo.

Our first Soccer experience

TJ wanted to play soccer this season. He has always wanted to play before but we were never in a place long enough to be around for soccer sign up, so this year we signed him up and he is AWESOME! He is very aggressive and scored 3 goals they won 10-6 (although we are not supposed to keep score). Anyway, he enjoys it and has a ton of fun playing! My date was still wrong on the camera...dang it...anyway enjoy!

Our 11th Anniversary

Toby and I celebrated our 11th anniversary on Saturday! It was a busy day, it started with Tobys soccer game, then to a birthday party, then the kids went and stayed the night with Nana and Toby and I were able to go to take the motorcycle out and go to dinner and just spend the evening together. It was a great anniversary I am glad his weekend fell on our anniversary weekend, and then he had to fly back out Sunday and will be back in 2 weeks for the boys' birthday parties! Anyway, enjoy this is our wedding picture and then us today!

Our First Family Photo

Even though we are a month away from the kids being 7 & 3, this would be our "first professional" family picture. We decided to have our old time picture taken at SDC and it turned out great. The boys, of course, loved the guns and was the best part of having their photo taken!

Powder Keg

Okay, well if you all remember when we were in Vegas, Toby decided against riding the roller coaster with me at NY NY, but this time was different. We rode the PowderKeg and as you can tell it was INTENSE! This is what the SDC website said about the ride.

PowderKeg ®

This explosive roller coaster sends riders into a thrill zone within seconds of climbing aboard, launching from 0 to 53 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds. A thrill ride unlike any other at the theme park, PowderKeg® combines the shocking speed of the compressed air-launch with spiraling turns, negative gravitational or "G" forces, and "floater" hills at speeds up to 64 miles per hour for a truly wild ride experience.

Branson Fun

We took a mini-vacation this weekend to Branson, with Jaimie, Jenn and the kids. I did not take the camera into Silver Dollar City because I was afraid of killing our camera on the water rides. We had a great time and I only got a few pictures, but wanted to share.
