Every Christmas Eve our kids get one present that is always PJs, so this is our traditional Christmas Eve PJs picture.
I just picked one random snap shot of all my kids so you can see how cute they are.
Haylie and her favorite gift
Morgan and her Rip Stik
Paige in present bliss, not really wanting to stop and look at the camera.
Drew and his back scratcher, yes he asked for one.A little story about Christmas carols. The other day I was singing Christmas songs with Paige and Drew. I was singing Silent Night and both kids were really interested which surprised me because its not as catchy as Rudolf and Frosty. So on to the second verse that says "Tender and light, mild, bright" whatever it is (I was making it up because I forgot the actual lyrics), and Drew starting laughing his head off. Well if you have seen Kung Fu Panda you know that when he gets kicked he says "ooh, my tenders" of course Drew picked up on that and thinks its hilarious and of course repeats its often. So I was singing Silent Night one of the sweetest Christmas songs and Drew thought I was singing about 'tenders'. So for us, sadly, Silent Night will always mean something different. Seriously funny, and so Drew.
Happy 4th Birthday Handsome Man!!! We Love You!!!!!
These awesome pictures were taken by my little brother Tavis:)Morgan has started a blog, if you thought she was crazy before you have no idea:) If you are interested it is at morgansworldrules.blogspot.com
I have been a big blogging slacker. I was going to catch up by doing a bunch of different posts but decided to pick one photo from each thing and throw it all into one post and try to do better in the future.
Morgan and Drew building train tracks. Drew loves to have Morgan play trains with him, she only wants to on rare occasions but they were both very proud of this one and wanted a picture of it.
This is Drew on a horse riding field trip. It was supposed to be at a barn but due to rain and a very muddy barn it ended up being at the horse owners house. Every kid got to ride Ruby and Drew was perm-a-grin the entire time.
This is my jogging stroller. In order for me to be able to go on my walks I need the kids entertained. Well of course we take food and toys and after a couple weeks of walking this is what my stroller looked like. It has been cleaned out twice since but I feel it is well worth it so I can go on my walks.
Morgan had a school carnival, Drews face pretty much sums up how fun it was. The babies were so tired it was just not a good night for us. Morgan enjoyed herself, Drew on and off, Paige was miserable (there was not much for her to do so she mainly stayed in the stroller), Haylie had a good time but was more concerned about leaving because it was the night of her last school dance and wanted to get there, and I, well, If I as an adult could get away with what Drew is doing I would of loved to.
Tradition for the last 5-6 years has been the day before Mothers day we do Race for the Cure. This year we had a big group and had awesome shirts that said 'Save the Ta Ta's' It is always a memorable day but this year we had some fun additions that made the day so much better.
Morgan had her Hershey Track Meet. She took 2nd in the 400, then 1st in the 100, then 1st again in the 100 semi-finals, then tied for 2nd or 3rd in the finals (she said her and the other girl were close but neither sure who was actually came in first). Good job Morgan!!!
Then we had a Barney ladies party. My mom and aunts were invited along with all daughters and daughter-in-laws. It was so much fun visiting and getting to know each other better.
This is another shot of the ladies party, we have cute girls.
