FB has taken over !!!!!!

I am sorry to say that Facebook has ruled my life. I will get back on track with the blog and see if friends and family enjoy it. Here are a few pics updating everyone. Avery turns 1 next month. I cant believe it. It has been a wonderful year, and I love my family. Enjoy the pics

Earings and Drums

Avery got her ears pierced this weekend. Her Aunt Tina wanted to do it for her. She did very well and only fussed for a few minutes. She is a trooper. She looks adorable. We also went to my friend Marc's 40th Birthday party over the weekend. Colton wants to play an instrument. He picked up the stix and proceeded to play the electronic drums. We are still sorting out what he wants to play. Hope all is well with everyone.

Misc. Stuff

We invaded the desert last weekend. It was a short trip, so not a lot of photos. We had a blast, Colton is progressively getting better on his motorcycle. We had 12 camp rigs, the weather was awesome, and we had fun with friends. Avery didn't make it out this trip. Many thanks to our parents who took care of her. We sure missed her, but all in all it was fun. Enjoy the pics

Underwear that's Fun to Wear

We had fun while folding laundry last night. Avery is sitting up on her own and grabbing things. She is also eating baby food. Thats all good except the end result is worse..... you know what I mean! We are doing fine out here. We have booked flights for Texas the last week of February. Look out everyone, the Haglers are invading Texas!!!!!!

What a Christmas !

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, we sure did. We basically had 4 Christmas events over a 3 day period. We started out by having a Turkey dinner on Christmas eve with our Parents at the house. We opened a few gifts. Bobbi and Charlie spent the night and we had the usual mayhem on Christmas morning. We then loaded everyone up and went to Jody's sisters house and did it all over again. And lastly, we had Christmas with Paul and his family on Friday over and Mom and Dads. It was a whirlwind of a holiday, but fun for all.

Colton got a new POGO stick, he has already mastered it, a new R/C car, a fish and a huge list of other gifts. He also got a new beginners Bible that we read every night. Avery got a lot of new clothes and age appropriate toys. Jody got a bunch of clothes, M/C boots, and more. I got a new tire for my M/C, a gear bag, new stand for my M/C, and a list of other items. We are so blessed and fortunate with our life and family.

Enjoy the misc. pics

P.S. - Colton got a guitar and a keyboard, we will see which he likes best and get him into lessons. So far he likes the guitar.

Merry Christmas To All

M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S ! ! ! !

This has been an amazing year filled with Joy.

The biggest event of 2008 was the birth a Avery. Every where we go, people ooh and aah over her, and want to hold her. She is Princess.

Colton is doing very well is school. He has a great imagination. He loves to draw, read books, ride his bike and skateboard as well as going to the desert.

Jody is an amazing Mom and Wife who works tirelessly to make us all happy.

As far as me, Life is good !!!!!!!

Happy Holidays to all Friends and Family

God Bless

Mike, Jody, Colton & Avery

Post Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did. We left for the Desert on Wednesday about 4:00 pm. We stayed until Sunday. The weather was awesome, it did rain some on Thanksgiving. This was the first time in about 15 years that we did not spend it with family. However, we did join a very large group of friends in the Desert. For the Thanksgiving feast, there were 35 people. We all brought a pot luck dish. What a tasty meal. Just an hour after we ate, the sky decided to dump about a 1/2" of rain. It is all good though. The kids had fun playing in the mud. The rain made for epic riding conditions. Everyone had a great and safe time. Colton found a new best friend. Him and Kyle were attached all weekend. All in all, there were 17 camp rigs, and about 60 people with our group. All of the kids played great together. Enjoy the pics!
