Polar Express

We took Cody, Ashley and my little brother and sister on the Polar Express train ride this year for Christmas. It was really alot of fun! Cody loved it since The Polar Express is one of his favorite movies. We sang Christmas carols, drank hot chocolate, listened to the Polar Express story and saw Santa Claus.

Here is Ashley and Kenny enjoying the train ride.

Cody was so excited!

Here he is waving good-bye to all of the onlookers as we left the train station in route to the "North Pole".

Finally, we got to see Santa and Cody got a bell from him. It was really awesome to see how excited Cody was!

Our BIG snow

Right before Christmas, we got hit by a big storm that dumped about 2 feet of snow. Cody was outside with Kenny shoveling the driveway and absolutely loved playing in the snow!

The snow pile was deeper than he was tall, but he had no fear! Ha..ha.

Brrrrr.........looks cold to me!!

Ashley is 7 months Old

This was our little Ashley when she was 7 months old. We got her ears pierced and she looks oh so cute! She was such a little trooper too! I tried to get a picture with the earrings in the shot, but that was a little tough. You can see one ear if you look closely and that was about the best that I could get without taking a full shot of her head from the side.

The Stimson Kids & Their Hats.....And Ashley is 6 months

Okay, so life has been extremely busy for us and I am now running about 3 months behind on our blog. Sorry to those of you that keep checking for updated pictures. I finally had a few minutes to try to post some new pictures, so here ya go. This picture is of Cody posing with his hand crafted hat made by him and Dad. He was so proud of this hat. Isn't it a great picture?!? I love it!!! And of course Ashley below was sporting her new pink 'Gap' hat that I had been waiting and waiting for it to fit. Oh, and this is a picture of Ashley at 6 months.
