We went to spend the weekend with my dad. It is always weird going to BF since that is where I grew up...until I was 16 any way. I never run into anyone because my dad lives in the country. My dad keeps me posted on some of the town gossip, small towns never change.
My cousin Crystal just had her 2nd baby, Bradin...not sure of the spelling.
Keep my aunt Mary in your prayers...her granddaughter who was 16 was killed in a car wreck on New Years Eve.

We spent New Years Eve with Brenda and Troy. We played the Wii and ate way to much junk food. I fell asleep on the couch with Ellie. Mama and Pops left before midnight. Jeff and I were asleep in bed when it turned into 2009. Tallyn came in the room and gave me a New Years kiss. I think the boys went to bed around 1:AM. We are a wild bunch!!
I do have to add that Rebel spent the majority of the night mad at me....I ruined his life!!! I guess they had a lock in at the skating rink and I would not let him go. I called there to get some details..I was never going to let him go but I needed amo for the argument. There was no age limit, or capacity limit. They said that the normal staff (teenagers) would be there with "the" security guard. Notice that is singular. Ok so here it was...there would be tons of kids from 8 and up, adults that were not working could be there and security was lax. I am a horrible mother who does not care about the social life of a teenager. I guess I just don't understand...I was NEVER 13.

Happy New Year!!!!
I took these around 10:AM. As you can see it is a perfect example of everyones personality!!
I am really so glad the holidays are over. Normally I will still have up all my decorations but yesterday we took down EVERYTHING and rearranged the living room. It just seems like the holiday spirit is just not in the air anymore. Everywhere you go people just seem so angry and depressed. It is just so sad.
The kids did have a good Christmas. Ellie just could not decide what to leave Santa for a snack. We did decide on cookies and chocolate milk but that was after we almost left him a Dr. Pepper and a pickle.

Brazell Christmas
We had an early Christmas with Jeff's side. It was so much fun. Reb got the skateboard he wanted, Tallyn his TV, and Ellie her barbie house. Mama got a wii so everyone spent the weekend bowling and playing golf.
Tallyn's sick
Well, I have been home for a couple of days with Tallyn. He has a stomach virus that has been making its way through the school. He has nothing left in his belly to throw up...poor thing. I think we are on the up side of it...he seems MUCH better today. So we will just hang out and hopefully go back to school tomorrow. I have all my wrapping and cleaning done so that is one good thing that came out of it all.
The kids are super excited about Debbie, Amber and Kirk coming in tomorrow. We are about to get so busy we won't know which way is up!!
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!!

A few Christmas pictures
Sorry this is blurry...
my battery was dying.
Tallyn is in honor choir
and they proformed thier
Christmas show at the
mall.
This was the Christmas
Program at church. This
part was all 3yr olds
so you can guess how
cute it was. They only
sang one song but it
was the best song EVER!!
Ellie can't keep her hands off the tree.
She keeps adding decorations for me.
I sat down the other day to put some
gifts under it and an old cell phone fell
on my head. She had put it in the tree
with a few envelopes and a couple of
hair ties.
Tagged...
OK, I think I am behind in some of the blogging activities. I have never heard of tagging but my friend Amy tagged me so I will follow the rules. I think I am supposed to post the 4th picture in the 4th folder...I just put most of my pictures on a disk so we will see what we come up with. Amy I hope I did it right.....I tag Amber! I agree with the girl that tagged Amy...maybe this will get Amber to update her blog!!!!
Tallyn
It was a crazy day but we made it. He had another birthday party to go to that same day then his basketball game then his party.
First basketball...the game was horrible!!!!! The score was 25-15. Tallyn scored 2 points. I don't know what happened but they did not play well AT ALL! Tallyn was hardly ever on his man and I think he forgot that jumping for a rebound might increase his odds of rebounding. Lets just say coach was not happy and practice will be exhausting for them!!
After the game we all came back to the house for Tallyn's party that we had to change for the game. It was just pizza and cake(Mama made...YUM!) A movie then home for a few. It was freezing outside but we drove with ALL the windows down because all 10 boys thought it would be funny to fart Tallyn's mom out of the car! Little do they know Jeff and Rebel have conditioned me in that area!
