Christmas 2008!

Well Christmas has come and gone. And it left a wake of destruction at the Gleason home. We wouldn't have it any other way though. The kids had the best Christmas and Jon and I did too. Just watching them get so excited about it and really wanting and wishing for Santa to come made this the best Christmas ever!

Daddy and his lil buddy
The older kids making cookies for Santa

We got them the coolest Christmas Eve jammies that lit up and had robes, they were sooo cool!

Kids posing as nice as they could so mommy could get the pictue

The Christmas Tree before Santa made it to our house.

The Christmas Tree after Santa stopped by.

Mason and his new pet Spike, he is the coolest thing, completely remote control and he goes like crazy!

Brooklynn and her kitchen, she LOVES it!

Jaxson and his "talking ball" you put these bracelets on and it remembers what color you are and you play games like hot potato, it's pretty neat.

Brooklynn's Birthday!

Hello everyone! I just got around to posting some of Brooklynn's Birthday pictures! We had a great time! Grandparents on both sides were here and even Brooklynn's great grandparents were able to make it. She had some Aunts and Uncles, cousins and friends. She got tons of presents and now poor Santa is at a loss for Christmas :( But, all in all it was a wonderful time!
Brooklynn and her cheesy ice cream and cake smile!

When she opened that coat she had to have it on and no one could tell her otherwise!

Her grandma Keyes helping her with some of her gifts!

Her and her new baby in the stroller!

She was so tired and cranky by the end of the day that she wouldn't even look at us anymore. But it was a wonderful day and we loved spending it with family and friends!

Where does the time go?!?!

Jon and I were just talking about how fast life passes us by the other day and it really got me thinking about the last 6+ years. We have had so much go on it's almost hard to remember it all. When we got the pictures with Santa done the other day we laughed that Jaxson was just about the same age as Kayson is when he got his pictures done in that same outfit! I look back over the past year and it seems to have gone by faster than all the rest. When I was extremely pregnant with Kayson I just kept thinking everything would slow down after the baby (hah, wishful thinking)! Then it was things will slow down after the older kids start school, again, hah! Then it was after September birthdays, then Halloween, then Thanksgiving...WAIT! Is it seriously Christmas time. Where did the time go?! Anyway enough of the ranting and raving. I vowed that I would take the time to take more pictures and to make sure people get to share in our children's lives so...there will be many more pictures coming and I will continue to keep everyone posted on our lives! We love you all!
Here is Brooklynn being silly and hanging upside down behind daddy's back at Thanksgiving :)

I think this might be the biggest smile I have ever seen this kid give, he is a hard one to crack :D

Kayson just loves his big brother Jax, and Jax just loves the camera ;)

Oh my little girl, she looks like sugar and acts like spice and daddy thinks she is nothing but nice(she sure has him fooled) LOL!

And our Mason, if this doesn't fit him to a tee. We were at my brother's house and they were playing Rock Band. Mason decided he wanted to sing and picked up the mic and gave the ROCK sign!
