Winter fun!

After Christmas, I found the "Christmas Classic" movies and decided to buy them for Conner when he decided that he was ready to watch movies. When I got home, I told him about the movies, and being so close to Christmas, he really wanted to see what Rudolph looked like. So, I put the movie in and we have watched that movie 3 times a day since then! His other obsession with the movie is Herby. Remember him? The elf that didn't like to make toys, but wanted to be a dentist? Well, during this movie marathon Conner went to see our dentist for the first time (he had been to a pediatric dentist when he fell, but we love our Dr. Geymen). So now, we talk about Rudolph, Herby and Dr. Geymen daily! "Mommy, Herby doesn't like to make toys. He be dentist like Dr. Geymen. Daddy, you break your tooth? You see Dr. Geymen? " Conner is really talking now in full sentences and saying things that you can't even begin to imagine!

So for me (since I am SO much younger than Jason!!!) this is going to be the year that most of our friends turn 30 (except for the few that are already old and the few that are very young!) We went up to Freemont to celebrate Lindsay's 30th with her and some of the other girls from law school! We had too much fun and Conner got to swim! He did so well! It made us ready for summer that much more!

So, I keep getting emails...Kristin, where are the pictures of you? Well, to be frank, they are hidden or torn up! Just kidding, but I do hide them or remove tags of me! I am almost 30 weeks now and lets just say that Baby Mac is measuring two weeks ahead just like his brother did. My work shoes are no longer cute, they look like nurse shoes and my tennis shoes make me happy on the weekends! Even though this baby will be born in the Spring, I have already swelled more than I ever did with Conner! So pictures of me and the family are forth coming...in about two years!!! Another reason I am not in pictures...well lets just say that I fear more things than my boys do. Say for example, going out on the ice...

Conner went ice fishing with the boys. Boy did they have fun! Even looking at the pictures makes me nervous!

They caught three fish (or maybe five) in about 8 hours. They are all truly my pro-fishermen!

Jason pulled Conner out onto the lake on the sled. Nope, didn't watch this either!

The boys are also having fun on their wheelers and plowing snow!

Other than that, we are keeping warm and staying busy. Conner is waiting for Mimi and B's Baby M to arrive any day now (and we are too!)! Some days he is so excited and other days he says "I don't want no Baby M and no Baby Mac!" Oh, Miranda and I are in for a treat!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had a great Christmas this year. Unfortunately, for the first time in a long time, I forgot my camera at most of our family parties...I guess I will blame it on being pregnant! Speaking of, it is hard to believe that in just three months baby Mac will be joining us! As I was ordering our 2010 calendar, it was so hard to believe that next year he will be here!

On another note; Conner loved everything about Christmas this year. He loved watching the old Christmas classics, singing Frosty the snowman, learning about Jesus living in a barn on a farm (I know...but we thought that was close to a manger in the desert), and being very good because Santa was always watching!~ He was so good that Santa treated him very well this year....let's see....his favorites were dozers, diggers, semis, a bow, train table, basketball goal, easel....and because his daddy promised helmets and a governor (I think that is how you spell it)...his very own four wheeler....

We are all truly blessed. Thank you for being a very important part of our family and we look forward to sharing our 2010 memories with you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Tis the season!

We had fun visiting the Christmas tree farm! We were all thankful it was not freezing this year! Conner wanted this tree (I was thankful because I was for sure he would ask for a humongous one!)

Our tree; that seemed to be the right size and perfect shape at the tree farm...once we got it home it was huge and curves at the top at almost a 90 degree angle!

It still turned out beautiful, though!

Conner, Jason, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Toby, Tiffany, Brody, Beckett, Saylor, David, Madelyn, Kevin, Suzy, Griffen and I all went to the HL Christmas party on Saturday night. The kids had a great time and seeing Santa come in on the firetruck was worth waiting in the cold! Conner loved the fireworks too and kept asking Jason if he could touch them.

First trip to visit Santa: NO TEARS! All week long Conner told us, "Yous sit on Santa's lap, not mes" "You tell him I want diggers, backhoes, graintrucks: Ok?" So, we were glad when he at least agreed to get close enough to Santa to tell him what he wanted. Afterwards, I asked Conner if he told Santa what his BABY BROTHER wanted and he said "Just mes!" So, the McClellan family has received our first Christmas gift this year...Baby Boy McClellan No. 2 looks happy and healthy and is growing very fast; we are excited to meet him in 2010!

Congrats, Daddy!

Conner was very excited for Daddy when he shot this buck yesterday! He had to take Conner's buck with us to see whose was bigger! CONGRATULATIONS JASON!!!

Notice Conner's buck on Daddy's? He also brought his cow...

Already November???

Where does time go? It is hard to believe that Halloween is already over and 107.9 has already switched over to Christmas carols!!! Jason and I have a shopping date next Saturday to get started (and hopefully finished) Christmas shopping...we shall see!
So since I have last posted, we have been busy having fun, raking leaves, dressing up, winterizing and all that comes with cold weather. One weekend we visited Mimi, Carolyn and Maurice at Raccoon. Conner was so excited to see them and his friends, Stone and Makayla. No fighting that day!

We had a Halloween party at our house on Halloween night. Last year I was bummed that "country" trick-or-treating was so different from "city" trick-or-treating. So we had a Halloween party for all of the kids (and adults too)! It was great to see all of the kids in their costumes together and it was fun to watch them play all of the games.

Conner was a monkey for Halloween this year and definitely played the role!

I forgot to post a picture of our pumpkins! We had so much fun carving them with Conner this year!

This Tuesday marks the half way point of my pregnancy. It is hard to believe that 20 weeks have come and gone so quickly. We are busy trying to come up with ideas for the nursery and trying to remember what we need and what we don't need. We have decided to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to move the office out and the baby furniture upstairs. It is killing me! I want to get it all done right now! This pregnancy is very similar to my last, just a little more uncomfortable and a lot more nervous. I am ready for March/April to get here and to meet our little one. Won't be long now! In case I don't post before Thanksgiving, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. We are very thankful for each of you!

Getting ready for Halloween!

We carved 4 pumpkins today: one for daddy, one for mommy, one for Conner and one for Baby Mac. Conner was a huge help!

Finished products!!! He is very excited to make them "glow in the bark"

We also went to Sam's third Birthday Party! Happy Birthday Sam!

This weekend we went with Mimi to visit Reece, Tarolyn, Shugy and Stone. Conner had too much fun playing with everyone!

Happy 30th Birthday Toby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FALL

Conner went to the pumpkin patch with his friend Stone last weekend. Stones mommy, daddy and baby brother went too and we had so much fun watching the boys try to find a pumpkin that they could carry.

These boys are rotten for sure, but Courtney and I blame it on Mimi!

We are also busy around the house making sure that everything is ready for winter. Conner has been a huge help this year. However, he thinks that now he needs to winterize all of his toys.

Here he is winterizing his jeep. Heads up...if you come over or Conner comes to your house he will want to work on your cars too. The other day Brody called and asked if Conner could come work on his car. The best thing is, is that no matter who you are: how old, how young, how pregnant, if you are over, Conner will ask you to help.
