Y BALL

Ian told me he wanted to do bastketball this year and I was surprised....he has been our rock climber and tennis player. He loves it and is doing great! This game was his best so far. He had 6 baskets, a couple steels, 2 blocked shots, a few rebounds......other parents were calling him the all star.

Jump ball!

Yes this shot actually went in! Nice way to end the game!

So did this one!

SNOW!!

We woke up this morning to SNOW!! So naturally I had to turn the Christmas music on and Adeline just HAD to got out and play in it......

Mom being silly

My kids had never seen this before and boy did I get a laugh out of them!

Tu Tu.......Silly

No I did not tell my boys to do this! This was how I found them so of course I had to get a pick!

Awards Assebly

I received a letter telling me that Elijah was going to be recognized at an awards assembly today! He got an award for the first trimester for citizenship. That includes academics, sportsmanship, and showing all characteristics they teach about in school....responsibility, respect, honesty, and some others I don't remember(should have paid closer attention I guess!)

That's the principal in the maroon shirt and his teacher Mr. Black in the blue shirt.

We are proud of you buddy! Keep up the good work and always remember who you are! We love you and are honored to be your parents!

Silly Kids!

Ian in our silly guy! I found him putting on Gwendolyn's sweater the other night.......then dads jacket. Is is always trying to make someone laugh!

Adeline brought this to me the other day and said, "look mom the potato heads and they have wieners!" LOL I couldn't stop laughing.......if you look closely you will see!

The joys of having older brothers.............

Adeline Turns 3

We usually just do family parties but Adeline really wanted her friends to come and she is just tooo cute to resist! We had 5 of her good friends come to her Dora Princess party. They colored crowns, played a game, opened some gifts, and had some yummy cake! She got some great presents and the best part is, is that her brothers enjoy them as well! LOL Happy birthday Adeline, we love you and we are glad you are part of our family!

My sister made this! SOOOOOO cute and had lots of compliments on it! Thanks Jord!

Thank you for coming and sharing this special day with Adeline, she loves all her toys!

Happy Halloween

We did a lot for Halloween this year! First we went to a Truck or Treat at the church, then we went to a Halloween party at my friends house and had THE BEST FOOD EVER!!!

I got this costume last year for 2 bucks!

The boys!

The girls!

The cuties all together!

All of us at the party!

The boys!

The girls!

We walked about 2 miles and Adeline, Elijah and I were up for more, but it was dark and bedtime so we called it a night! The kids ended up with at least 5 pounds of candy each!!! Yeah we are loaded....Gweny fell asleep right before we left so Robert stayed home with her.

Working in the yard is fun to do, fun to do, fun to do!

Adeline raked some leaves in the back yard!

Gweny tried a pine cone!

The boys did what they do best............make a mess!! Then play some more!

Dad trimmed some trees, mowed the lawn, and blew off the roof!

I played with the kids...........what that's work...isn't it?!?!

Adeline snuck up onto the counter to help me make a pumpkin roll....a family favorite!

Gweny has taken a liking to the passy.....not sure if that's a good thing or not....this is how I found her the other day! Somehow she got some paper off the dresser!
