BRRRR...Baby its Cold Outside!

Another Cold Day today... stayin inside watching there favorite Shows and eating cookies.
Conner trying to get Crackers out of the box.

Tyler stuck in the tunnel.
The boys having so much fun crawling thru the tunnels.
Conner & Tyler got already to go outside to play in the snow....so sad it was below 0...and I had to tell them No.
Conner was sad at first...but then got distracted with a Cracker.
Yeah...the snow finally arrived. We only had a few inches..and snow still coming down. We waited until Scott came home from work...and got the boys all bundled up in there new snowsuits and also able to use there new Sled. They had a blast outside for a whole 10 min. It was way too cold to be out there too long for these little guys...There faces were so red.

Daddy whipping them around on the sled...they were belly laughing so hard.
Conner upset that he had to come back inside...He wanted to go back out!


Uncle Jonathan and his Girlfriend Rebecka came to visit for a few days... Tyler, Rebecka, and Conner Watching Geotracks on the Computer
Now with Uncle Jonathan and still watching Geotracks and Geo Air on the computer.
They had fun seeing there Uncle and miss him lots.
Jonathan just had a birthday on the 16th. So I asked Tyler if he wanted to call his Uncle on his birthday and Tyler said," Sure but I have a great idea...why don't we just go and visit him at Nana's house." But Tyler didn't understand that Jonathan was not at Nana's house anymore that he already left to go back home. Happy Birthday Jonathan...hope to see ya soon again. Thanks for the visit.

Happy New Year....Jan 2009 is Here!

Wow...excited for the new year! I love being a stay at home Mom and wouldn't trade it for anything!!!! These boys are so cute and continue to show me what life is all about.


Some people just need to get over themselves, Life is not just all about you. It's all about JESUS! I wish people can just get that sometimes. Life does not have to be so hard.


Life would be so much easier if they would just have a relationship with Jesus, stop fighting it, and actually spend time getting to know him better...through prayer...like talking with your best friend...spending time reading the Bible....the living word breathes and speaks to your heart. Its a new day, a new year, a new blessing...May God continue to Bless you this year and each of your families. Remember God loves you...Today is the day of Salvation!

New Years Eve at the Pongratz house....Scott and I figured out my new camera and set a timer so that we now have a recent pic of us together...Since I am always the one taking the photos I never make the blog...Yeah!

Christmas Day....

Santa was here! And read Tylers Bible too.
I already updated the Christmas photos to my facebook account...not sure if this works or not..but worth a try so don't have to download all 41 pics again to this blog page...click below on this link to see all our Christmas Day photos. Let me know if it does not work...?
