Liz and Jason came to our house to help us paint. Justin was home with a high fever, but the twins were going back and forth between us and him. (You have to understand that our house we are building in VERY close). Anyway, so I called Justin to check up on him and see how he was doing. I asked him what the twins were doing. He said just a minute let me check. Then he said, "Oh No!" No mother likes to hear those words, but a mother of twins nearly dies when she hears those words. Justin then said they are into the cupcakes. I was getting ready to take those same cupcakes (with no extras) to Ashley's class to celebrate her upcoming birthday with them. Bless Liz's heart, she looked at me and immediately said, "I'm going to make more cupcakes Now. I'll take care of it."
Shortly after this incident Grandma Shurtleff called me up and asked me if the twins would be the angels at our Christmas Party when we acted out the Nativity. I just smiled and laughed.
Someone once told me (back when Ashley was an "Angel") that some angels need their devil horns in order to hold up their halos. I think this applies to my girls on a REGULAR basis.
They are so very cute though, and so sweet and loving, you just can't help but love them anyway!

Christmas 2008
The kids were so excited for Christmas. Emily would come into me and sing Santa Claus is Coming To Town, and then she would say to me in a high pitched excited squeal, Mom, Santa Claus is Coming to Town. She still tells me Merry Christmas every day. She was a little dissapointed that Santa didn't bring us Snow (we got rain instead). Grandpa and Grandma Shurtleff and Sarah came out in the afternoon. We got to talk to Grandma and Grandaddy Ross in Africa, and Kelly and Aiden and Jill, Jeff, Anna, Jackson, and Colton all came up for a little while. We played some games with The Shurtleff Grandparents, and just spent the day relaxing.
Ashley's 6th Birthday!
Here are pictures of Ashley's Birthday! She got her ears pierced, so she got a lot of jewlery from everybody. That was a funny story, and I wish I had a video to show you, but with Mommy, Grandma Shurtleff, Aunt Tabby, Aunt Liz, and Aunt Sarah all there, not one of us thought to bring a camera and take a picture or video tape it. I am sorry for all of you who weren't there, because you really missed out. They tried to get both ears at the same time, but she moved, so only one got done. Well, by that time she knew that it hurt. She was also screaming and crying. She was yelling, "Don't Touch Me!" Over and over again. I told her she was NOT getting only 1 ear pierced. So, then as the girl went to do the other ear, she continued to yell don't do it, don't touch me, don't touch it. It was hilarious. Did I also mention that there was a line of other children waiting to get their ears pierced and having to watch this display! Their parents probably hated me!

Thanksgiving Football
JUSTIN WAS IN HEAVEN!!!!! Thanksgiving with Jason's family brought his cousin Ginger and her 4 boys out. Their oldest is 12, and then the have one that is almost a year older than Justin. So, Justin, Austin, Aaron, and Justin's cousin Jackson all got out and played football together. Uncle Bryan came out and watched. Ashley tried to get in a little on the action too. Justin would have stayed there all day, he was really having a good time. There aren't too many boys around his age, and most of the boys at church aren't really into sports.
