SILLY SLIDE DAY!!!!

We spend ALOT of time at the park in our neighborhood...They love to just get out of the house an run...Jamisyn loves us to time her running around the pool and park...her best time so far is 1:32 min. they love to draw sidewalk chalk, and ride their bikes there and back....they like to watch the geese and Pation and jamisyn would love to fish someday soon...we are thinking of doing that this summer...I love time at the park because it gives us all fresh air and it wears them out so they come home eat dinner, bathe and go to bed early...which leaves me a little extra time to read or scrapbook ; o) Jamisyn trying it backwards.....
Pation Head first....
Hmmm this does work sideways....
You can go faster on your knees.....
Striking a pose for the camera.....

looks dirty down there, can't decide if I want to get off.....

Is it really January???????

We cannot believe the temperatures we have been experiencing here...we had almost a straight week of mid 70's which none of us minded......we spent most of the day and into early evening outside...but you wouldn't know we are mid january........

I do it all by myself......

I keep saying this girl is an adventurer....the girls love having their nails painted by either me or the older girls...well the older ones were back at school and Abigyal said she was going upstairs to get her blanket...when she was taking a long time I went up to see what she was up to and this is what I found....I get the the top of the landing and she says "see pitty mom" I was stunned...and quickly ran upstairs to find to my surprise that she didn't get it on anything else but her fingers...way to go girl....and don't they look pitty???

Music Mania.................

Abigyal has a passion for music just like her sister....Anytime music is on she dances to it....and she actually knows the words to quite a few songs...it's so cute to watch her enjoy music...Hope you enjoy these moments w/ her...tooo cute Karlee sharing her Ipod w/ abigyal..

Want to be like mom...

While I have been taking up and old passion of mine, roller blading.....jamisyn has decided that is what she would like to do to is learn how to use her skates so we took her outside today and put them on and at first she was a little nervous but she loves it and actually did pretty well....she is a quick learner.... Karlee helping her out...

New Year New Adventures....LOL

Well Little ms. Abigayl is always up to something you just never know what it's going to be...she has this thing now where she likes to get up in the middle of the night around 2-3 a.m. and wander the house...well that has turned into lately she is undressing herself DIAPER and all before she ventures out of her room and so now we have to Duck tape the diapers....the only bad part is she thinks it's funny and laughs about it and even asks for the tape if I am going to forget it...in all I wouldn't trade her for anything...she is the life of the party and makes me laugh at least once a day....PS: if anyone has any other advice for the naked sleepwalker please pass info. along I am always up for suggestions...Thanks

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Just wanted to wish you all a Very Happy New Year!!! I hope you all have a wonderful 2008...I know I am looking forward to a great year, with lots of new memories to share w/ you all and having some new adventures and watching my children grow...

Christmas 2007 YEAH!!!!

The children were all so excited to see santa had visited our house...they were up VERY early and ready to get the unwrapping started, only thing was we adults weren't quite ready as early as they were...we finally got things started a little after 7 a.m. and they were very surprised at what they had received and excited....everything was unwrapped and ready to be played w/ by 8 a.m. I think that is record time for us...LOL..they really did enjoy themselves and want to thank the aunts and Uncles, grandparents and santa for all of their wonderful things..now it's finding room for everything in the house..wish me luck...We hope all of you had a very blessed christmas and Shon we missed having you here with us we can't wait to spend next christmas w/ you...Love you and miss you....

Twas the night before christmas....

If I sit here quietly maybe they won't notice me....LOL
The Stockings hung on the chimney w/care...
The tree all filled after santa had visited...


And I had yet to wrap a single gift...(folks please remind me not to do this again!!) LOL so my dad and I had tucked the kids in or so we thought...as I was coming from the bedroom with two armloads of bags in hand I stumble upon a little two year old in the hallway....I then decide to tuck her back in bed and continue bringing things downstairs where my dad was waiting to help me wrap everything...about 30 min. later I had turned around and out of the corner of my eye was a little head peeking at me on the stairs....so I proceeded one last time to place her back in bed explaining to her that santa would not arrive w/ her awake...we then finished up gifts and were in bed oursleves before midnight....

Christmas Eve. 2007

Christmas eve. was a very nice evening...we lounged most of the day then attended service at our church...we then had some catching up to do when we got home and before we went to bed as the kids had exchanged names for gift giving but hadn't yet wrapped them...then it was off to bed to wait for santa....ooooh the anticipation is climbing....
