This and That

I havent blogged in awhile. I have become a facebook girl. However i do love this blog and hope to keep it up. For some reason I can not update it with my blaclberry and so I dont do it as often as I do facebook.
We have all been doing well. Last week Aunt Cindy and I took Conner and Kyle to the Wharton County Museum. They LOVED seeing the stuffed animals. This is really a great place and I suggest you take you kids there. They loved seeing the elephant, polar bear, and lion. Conner even kissed an alligator!
The boys have been sick with a cold and I am very ready for all of the sniffles and coughs to stop. Especially since its mostly at night and they need me to hold them....which I do. (sucker)
Kris has been very busy at work and with several other projects. The Matagorda house is really coming along and I can't wait to invite all my friends to come and stay.
The Lord is really excitng us daily and we can feel him moving in our family. I know it is going to be a great year.

Zoo

Lions and Tigers and Bears o my! This Thursday i took Conner and Kyle to the Zoo! It was Conners second time to go and Kyles first. We had a blast. The first thing we did was ride the train. Conner was not sure about this and I had to tell him it was Thomas. We took a long trip around the museum district and saw many homeless(ha ha). The boys loved the reptiles and fish, of course their boys, right? I think their favorite part was chasing the pigoins though. Those poor birds.

Merry Merry CHRISTmas

What an amazing birthday party we had for Jesus this year. We had so much fun. I had a really rough start trying to get ready. Christmas just popped up on me this year and the week before I had NO shopping done. After all my panicing and help from my mom and dad I finally began to get excited and prepared.
We began the Celebration in Columbus where we had Gertson Christmas. The boys had so much fun with their cousin Jenson. They ran around, played with their new toys(a train and hunting set), ate M&Ms and laughed a whole lot.
Next was Barnhill Christmas on Christmas Eve. Wow! What a great day. Mom made a hugh and terrific prime rib. They boys love their Mason and Cami and enjoyed opening their gifts with them. They got a cool tent and train sets alone with many, many other things.

Christmas morning santa came to the Gertson household and boy was he generous. Conner could believe that santa ate the cookie he left. Santa brought the boys a playhouse, fishing game, and stockings full of goodies.
After that we loaded up and head to Garwood to Nana's and Papa's house. The food was great. Nana BBQed all morning. Conner was so funny because he kept asking everyone the "Come On, Lets open gifts." It was cute because he really GOT the gift thing this year. The boys got a great music set, a hugh T Rex, a vaccum, and a GATOR!! they love it.
We had a great Christmas and are so blessed to be healthy and happy.

The past 12 days have been gloomy around the Gertson household. Momma has been sick. Regardless to say we have been hanging around the house. Now the boys have the cold. Yea:(
It is fixing to get really crazy around here. Not only do we have Christmas and New Year but we also have many birthdays in the family. Our Papa turned 87 on the 3rd, Kris will be 30 on the 13th, Cindy will be 20 on the 18th, I will be 29 on the 31st and Taylor turns a year older Jan. 2. Ready Set Here We Go!
Taking Christmas card pics this year has been to say the least challenging. Getting a one year old and a two year old to look and smile at the same time is moutain moving. I finally gave up after about 20 tries. Here are a few that didnt make the cut.

Fishing

This weekend was a blast. Kris hunted for his monster buck sat. while the boys and I hung out. Sunday we went to church and heard a great sermon on Heaven and then we took Conner and Kyle fishing for the first time. Some good friends of our just dug a big pond in their back pasture and stocked it with fish. They invited us over for a fish fry and to fish. Conner was so excited and talked about it all day. Kyle mostly played with the minows, but Conner fished hard. After all fish had been caught(hee hee) we went inside and ate great fish fried by David. It was a great time.
