Christmas 2009

MY Big present 80 pieces of new silverware!



Jordan unwrapping with the help of the kids.


Austyn and Sydnie helping me unwrap.


Austyn's ballroom dancing dress, made
by her Grammy Larson. It is beautiful,
she put on at 7am and wore it all day!


Wyatt opening his gift from Grammy Larson,
he loved the wallet and has packed the bag
around all day, loaded to the top.


Austyn's new dress.....


Sydnie's new dress, just like Austyn's.


So this is the first year we have stayed
home all day, and had food already
prepared. The kids have had a great
time putting anything they want on
their plates. I have to say, I think
they ate pretty well, and didn't have
too many treats.


Here they are in their Christmas
Eve pj's. Ready for Santa to come.

Happy Birthday Sydnie!

So, yes this is a little late, but at least I did get it posted before a whole month has gone by. Her actual birthday was on September 29.
She had been wanting a bike for a really long time, and she loves it!



Happy Third Birthday! Make a wish and blow out the candles!



She had a great day and she is s big girl now, at least she thinks so.
She is our cutie!
Happy Birthday Girl!

Summer Happenings

So this is what most of May, June, and July looked like. Rain, Rain, Rain and More Rain, with very few if any sunny days.


But this was today! The weather was Perfect, SUNNY 75 degrees, with a slight breeze. We went for a hike in Paradise Park. We had nine kids and one puppy in all, and amazingly they all did really well on the trails. Two were in back packs and one on a leash. It really was a fun day and nice to be outside. Thank Goodness for SUNSHINE days!

Wyatt's birthday!

Here is Wyatt with all of his gear, He now has all the equipment to play baseball including the bases.

Here is his cake! He loved it.

4th of July Fun!

Happy Birthday Austyn!
