CheeZ-it's and Pancakes!

The choice of food when we are not eating with JD is always pancakes for dinner. On this night the kids decided they would do the cooking. Austyn made the mix, and poured it onto the griddle. Then Wyatt came behind and did the flipping of the pancakes.



Sydnie was Quality Control. And it was her idea to add the Cheez-it's to go with the pancakes.


So cheez-it's, pancakes and orange juice for dinner, what kid wouldn't want to have that? Doesn't it make your mouth water just thinking about it? It is funny what kids can come up with when asked to plan a meal.......

Bowling with Syd!

So here it is the moment you have all been waiting for!
It's a little fuzzy, but not too bad for a first try right?

Family Bowling!

So this year we decided that we are going to be more adventurous
as a family. So for our first adventure we went bowling. We had a great
time! It took about 2-3 minutes for Syd's ball to actually get all the
way down the lane. So, between the five of us, it took about an hour
to get through one game,but that was enough. Here are some pics of the fun!




Here they are, pumped up and ready to go!



JD, rolling with the Pink Bowling Ball!



The Kids loved the shoes, they wanted to take
them home, so we had to get a picture!


So I have a really great video of Sydnie in action, but Blogger
is taking way to long to upload it, so I will try another day.

New Year cookie houses!

And so it began, the cookie recipe is really really tasty,
and I have not tried gingerbread, so sugar cookies it is.
Colored frosting and some candy, they are sure to be
masterpieces.



After about an hour of work they are finished!



I love the kids designs, and all the bright colors!



There was not enough room for HO HO HO, so,
we have Ho instead.



While the kids had fun and the houses did taste good
when we ate them a day later, A. informed me that they were
not REAL Ginger bread houses, because we used sugar cookies,
and maybe next time we should get the real recipe. What
can I say?
