ICE DAY 2009

Remember being a kids and being so excited to be out of school? It is so different when you are a mom and know the whole day your going to be moping up the snow and ice draged into the house and all the cloths in the dryer while little kids wait for cookies and dry cloths go out again, so the cycle repeats itself. But still there is a little excitement in me also when I hear "school is canceled" I think it is knowing I get a whole day with my kids...and they are also excited about it.

Grandpa's 67th Birthday

I honestly love my Dad! Who couldn't? For those of you who do not know
him look for the black bus around town that he recently purchased. He loves picking my kids up after school in it...They think it is the greatest thing ever!!!

Day with Aunt Stacy

I had forgotten how much fun it is to have a little girl. We did story time, and beauty make-overs...I let the girls do one on me...Then after I washed my face, We went to McDonald's where the girls insisted that I help them climb to the top of the Playground(twice) Needless to say I needed a nap.

New Years Eve

My family is so fun!~ Everyone was home for New Years,
Marc and Brittany...(They are such cuties)
Lorne and Heather...And their beautiful kids

Bringin' in the New Year

What a awsome way to start the new year, Our great friends (family) the Ahlerts invited the whole fam damily to the ranch for New Years Eve...What a blast!

Christmas Mornings

It is always so magical to watch the kids come down and get excited about what Santa left...Well, for the ones who believe...We are so blessed. John gave me a painting of Mike and I at the Beach in Mexico. I think it is the best present I have ever gotten in 20 years of marriage. I didn't have to ask for it. He just knew. I love that guy!

Kelsi got a new blackberry.
Taft got a Zune.
Joe got every kind of skateboard and snowboard
Mikey got a new soccer chair, and basketball hoop.

Katy ran away Christmas Eve...Which is Holiday #4 that Katy has managed to excape. I swear I couln't even get to Dewey with no money or plan, Katy however, made it to Missouri. She is fine and his coming home today. I'm sure it was a very exciting get away for her. Some nice person took her to a safe house, Which is a blessing to know she was taken care of.
