After school!

After school we love to play at the park this time Jaxon and Troy played too!

And you might be asking were was my little girl that just hours earlier received the winning attitude award?

Yup crying and throwing a HUGE tantrum on the swings.



Winning Attitude

Emma won the Winning attitude award at school for her class!!

Isn't she so cute with her whole class.  Congrats Emma!

MLK day parade

Kim called me up on MLK day and wanted to know if we wanted to go to the parade so off we went!

 It was so much FUN the kids had a blast then we went to sweet cakes for dessert then back home so the kids could play!  so I do have one question what is a 3 wheeled unicycle called?  That would mean one wheel but it had 3 stacked up so I don't think you could call it a tricycle do you? 

Pretty cool though huh?

Freshly squeezed... and picked

A friend in the neighborhood told us we could pick oranges and tangerines from their tree whenever we wanted so one day we thought orange juice sounded good so we took the kids and picked a ton of these...

then went home and the kids did this...

and we got a bunch of this...

we made two pitchers full and drank it all in 2 days.  I need to go back and get more because we have all been craving fresh squeezed OJ!!!

Let it Snow...

or be brought to you in your neighbors truck and dumped on the lawn.  Whichever the kids LOVED it!

 This small mound of snow brought hours of entertainment.  My kids played in it for an hour then the neighbor kids got home and they all played in it for a few more hours. 

Here is Emma's snowman.

New years Eve party

We went to our neighbors for a fun filled New years eve party.  We did sparklers and some fireworks at 9 for the kids...

 then turned on a movie while the adults played games and did a white elephant. 

I for some reason just took pictures of the kids... probably because they were way cuter than the adults!

Christmas Day

Twas the night before christmas...

 Before we started opening anything we had to get the cinimon roll going.  Emma and Tyler helped open them and get them in the oven.

 While they were cooking they opened their stockings!

 we ate breakfast than it was time for all the gifts....  are they not the 3 cutest little kids!

 Emma got a unicorn pillow pet

 Reagan got a puppy pillow pet.

 And tyler got the DS game he has been wanting!

 After lunch, bbq ribs, potaoes and homemade rolls, we headed to Nanas to enjoy some time with them.  We played sorry, opened more gifts and I got a NEW DISHWASHER!!!!!  I was sooooo excited it was delivered and installed on the monday after christmas!  I can't beleived I lived a while year without a dishwasher.  Thanks NANA!!!!!

It was really a perfect christmas this year!

 Then we colored a little to wait because it was FREEZING outside.

 It was finally our turn to get on
