skateland

I don't know why but I keep forgetting my camera EVERYWHERE we go.  We have still been busy and having fun but I don't have any pictures to prove it.  Luckily Tyler remembered his for our first trip skating.  Emma was invited to a skate party and I didn't want to just drop her off so the kids and I went.  Sorry  Tyler's camera doesn't take very good pictures but I figured it was better than none at all so here it is.

Also the date on these pictures is not right!  Reagan and I didn't skate we just played games and enjoyed watching the other two fall a LOT!!!!

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!
