Merry Christmas

A full report will be coming soon, but here is the best we could do for a card this year! I hope you and your family are having a happy merry day!

Santa!

We had a mostly positive experience with Santa. Kellyn was fine, although I think she thought we were crazy. Maddie was just super shy and kept putting her face into Santa....and Cooper cried cause he'd already seen Santa at school and didn't need to see him again. But it's in the books.....this was the best pic, with Santa looking at the camera. (My favorite one of the kids Santa wasn't looking)

Happenings

We've been super busy and are looking forward to Christmas break! Blurb was having a sale so I made our 2008 album! I can't wait to get it; it was 83 pages! So much fun to see Cooper as a baby!
So here are a few pics of what's going on around here!



Basketball games....lots of them!



The kids have been playing "ship" in Kellyns bath tub.



We got and decorated our tree. We also attempted a family pic for Christmas cards.....it turned out okay, not the amazing picture of all of us I had envisioned.



I've been trying to get a little exercise in to loose some unwanted lbs!



And she is going so fast until she just collapses.....hope everyone is having a good holiday season! Christmas is just around the corner!

Blurb!

So I am in the process of turning my blog into books! I started with 2007. I am using blurb, and I love it. I think blogging might be the best thing I do for our family. I'm going to do it by years, so here is to starting 2008....it's full of blogs so it'll take a while. I mentioned to a friend I have often thought about stopping the blog, but I got my book and now I don't ever want to stop! This is blog is going to provide us with great family yearbooks!

Busy busy busy

So it's that time of year for basketball! Our week has looked like this.....Monday night Jeremy had Coopers practice, Tuesday night JV game, tonight team dinner, tomorrow first varsity game at Tonkawa, Friday night second varsity game at Frontier, Saturday am Cooper's game, followed by Senior breakfast.....oh I'm shooting a ballet for 2 days in there somewhere. I'm worn out just reading this, but I wouldn't have it any other way!



My kids love these boys!



Kellyn loves ice cream cake roll!

Thanksgiving

Well I did a horrible job of taking any pictures of Thanksgiving, it went by seriously fast, like I blinked and it was over. So we managed a quick trip to Texas to visit the inlaws for lunch and then headed back to my parents house in time for some left overs and decorating Gingerbread houses. Which is fun with little kids....don't believe me, see for yourself. (I managed to remember to snap a few pics!)

The last one is my finished house, it turned out pretty good. I should've taken a pic of all the ones, there were some good ones this year! I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving....here's to a great basketball season! Cause it's starting again!

30!

Jeremy joined the 30's decade last week. (Yes, if you're keeping track, I am older then him.) Since our schedule is so crazy busy right now with basketball gearing up, we just had a little "surprise" party at home. Cooper always likes to jump out and say "surprise, happy birthday!" So I gave him a reason to. We decorated the house and turned the lights out and waited about 15 minutes in the dark. The kids were so excited and couldn't wait for him to come home. I made manicotti for dinner because it's one of his favorites, and I don't make it a lot. For the cake we did a spice cake/white cake, it was delicious. (The next day the poor cake ended up on the floor courtesy of Maddie.) So happy birthday to Jeremy, I hope his day was great!

(Kellyn snuck some cake, she is getting very good at getting whatever she wants to eat....)
