I have no pictures to post right now, they will be coming soon. The kids have been cracking us up lately. Grandpa Lewis is staying with us right now so Hudson is in 7th heaven since they are like to peas in a pod. The other day he did something for Kim. Kims said how did you know I wanted that and Hudson said. Because I read through your mind Grandpa.
Brady's thing is if the sun is going down or hasn't come up he says mom is it darkening? Or I will go to school when its not darkening anymore.
Grayson is finally starting to talk a little she says Grandpa pretty well. She mostly likes to gibber gabber and expects you to know what it is all about.
Addison is starting the dreaded science project.....why do they do this to parents? She is wanting to put a chicken bone in vinegar, water, and coke and see if it turns to rubber. We have been told that it will so I will give updates on that later.
Well Jarad and I are counting down the days......Wednesday/Thursday/FRIDAY...is the big day we are leaving to the Dominican Republic..yeah I cannot wait. The weather has been soooo cold. It is supposed to be 84 when we arrive. The hump back whales are there right now, I really want to see them. We are going with our great friends Meredith and Martin. It should be great fun for all.

So this is a quick look back at the year 2007 for the Lewis'. Not everything is here just most of the highlights. I will try and keep this updated on a monthly basis. Hope you all enjoy and will keep in touch. Lots of love the Lewis'
















We got some great pictures while in Utah with the kids and my whole family. It was the first family picture ever in Sabey/Brady/Vanvliet history. Hopefully we can do better at keeping them more updated.




Look at my handsome boys! There is no lack of good looks in this family!








Spending time with friends and family in Utah for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great trip. It was so good to see everyone, even if it was only for a few minutes. We miss you all. Come and see us.....SOON






Just another example of the Lewis Luck! Jarad has been known to sleep walk, but has never injured himself. One night in Oct. 07 we were watching a football game, and then went to bed well he must of thought he was on the line and launched himself into or window while he was asleep. He fractured his eye socket and ended up with 10 stiches and glass still remains in his head.

Halloween 2007. The weather was great! Addison was a 50's girl witha poodle skirt, we cannot have halloween without the famous Tommy Tucker to make sure we all stay safe. I think that has been Jarad's costume for the last 3 years in a row. We got superman, chickens, cats and the geisha.

So many friends here in Indy took good care of us during the accident. They took the other kids in for a week brought dinner, made sure the kids came and saw us at the hospital. We could not have made it without them. A very special thanks to you all!!











Like I have said if it can happen it probably will. Brady was run over by a full size chevy truck this year on Aug. 10 2007 it broke his femer, cracked his pelvis, he had a conpression fracture in his neck, and they had to pull one of his front theeth out. He is doing so amazing. He was in a wheelchair for about a month and then learned to walk very quickly with his walker. Was an amazing blessing this is!!! He is going back in for surgery in Feb. to have his plate taken out, so far he has recovered 110%. He still has no fear of automobiles either.


Who couldn't love a face like that.

From the months of May-Sept. Brady lives in his life jacket from morning to night!





Grayson's favorite pass time is dumping cereal boxes out! Can you say locks on the cabinets would be nice???





Boating this summer was our favorite pass time. We tried to go ever other weekend. It was great family time and so nice to soak up the sun and just float around.

This is Brady's little girlfriend Madelynn. They are already planning the wedding.

Hudson being his charasmatic self.


Grayson did not like the feel of grass this year so she was content to sit in here little chair and watch all of the action.



Summer time at the Lewis' consists of swimming everyday all day long in the pond out back. It has been a great swimming hole for the kids they have enjoyed every moment of it. If they are not swimming they are usually fishing.....of course it is only catch and release here!

Exciting New Years at the Lewis'

Happy New Year. I cannot believe we are in Indianapolis in the year 2008. We have no pictures to post right now because I was a sick mommy and Jarad went to bed at 10:00. What a happening new years we had. This Christmas was great the kids got just about everything from under the sun. Still no pictures only video....What was I thinking. I am going to post some pictures from this summer and hopefully will keep adding more and more and get the camera out more often. It is always a battle camcorder/camera. Never know which one to grab. So I have given up and figure they will have to keep their memories in their head.
