Christmas

Christmas at our house was a great one. The kids had a great time opening pressents and making a huge mess. Alexis got a doll house and a bunch of things for her new baby. Phillip took the time and made her a wonderful bed for them. Connor got a new bike. That as you can see he was unable to ride. He was not to excited about the snow at that point. He also got a Lacross stick and lots of video games. Our neighbor was even crazy enough to try to get to work. The snow was nice for the first few days. But even abby got tired of it.

Candy house

Well the kids finaly talked me into putting the house together. The y did a great job. Connor even got into putting the icing on this year. Alexis I think ate more of the candy then she put on the house. It is a good thing that the kits come with extra candy.

first snow

We finaly got our first major snow of the season. We had a great time slidding down the hills at the park. Alexis didn't know what to do with it at first but got into it rather quickly. It was so cold with the wind that we didn't stay as long as the kids would of liked. But we went out a few times later that day.

Zoo lights

Sam and I took the kids to the zoo lights this past week. We all had a great time walking through the zoo in the bitter cold. It seems like it is always coldest the night we go. I guess that is what adds to the fun. The lights are always so wonderful and the train ride is always worth the wait. As they get older though I gues they will be going for us and not themselfs.

Tea

Heather and I started a new Holiday tradition. We all got dressed up in our party clothes and we went to the Heathman for Tea. We all had a great time. Alexis wore her party shoes ans took her party purse. This is definitly the starting of a great new way to start the holidays.

Alexis Birthday

Alexis had her 2nd birthday just recently. As you can see auntie Heather is the one that took all the pictures. Alexis had an elephant birthday this year. We made elephant masks and caught butterflys that were shot out of an elephants nose. It was a good time. She got new babys and a bed and stroller for them. She has a good time pushing them all around the house. Well that is all the pics I have for now. I will post more after Christmas.

Connors birthday

So I forgot my camera for Connors 6th birthday party. Amaha took lots of pictures but I havent gotten them yet. We went to glow in the dark mini golf. It was fun. The kids got 3d glasses and the hole place was painted with pirates and other scarry stuff. It was just what 6 year old boys want. He had a Star wars cake that was way to big as always. But as soon as I get those pics I will post them.

Halloween

Here are my little Trick or Treaters. Connor is Jango Fet from the new Star Wars movies. Alexis is a butterfly princess. She had to be talked out of being Whinnie the Pooh with wings this year. It was so sad but after 4 Halloween stores looking for a Pooh costume we had to fin something else. That is ok she still wears her wings and dress just to be pretty. Oh the joys of having a girl.

Pumpkin Picking

I took the kids to the pumpkin patch one foggy October morning. They had a great time going in the mud to find the Great Pumpkin. And believe me we did. We found the biggest pumpkin that I have ever found. It was 43 pounds and guess who got to pull it back to the car. Ya you guessed it dear old mom. Well atleast Connor helped by pulling his sister.

Soccer season

IT has been so crazy in our house since the summer started. Here is Connors soccer team. I ended up being the head coach of all these crazy kids. They did such a good job and I had a great time. I was not alone though. I had 2 assistant coaches to help me out. Thank god.

Dance class

Alexis has now started her first dance class. She was so excited to have a dance outfit. Sam went uot and got her the whole outfit. The dance class is a lot of fun. She plays with hoola hoops and ribbins and dancing to all kinds of music. This is a mommy and baby class so I get plenty of excercise twirrling her all around, and helping her do the moves that they show. Oh well it is good fun for all of us. Connor has a good time sitting on the side lines and laughing at some of the moves that we are trying to do. That is a big brother for you.

Football Season

Football season is in full swing at our house. As you can see Connor is ready to play as well. He told me that he was wearing it to get used to it for when he is able to play. And besides I have to wear a helmet to ride my bike. Right. Well now you know what it is like at my house. I am not winning this fight. And he isnt even old enough to play. Oh well. At least if he falls his head wont hurt.
