Nighty Night

I went in to tell the boys good night and this is how I found Ian.....so sweet so of course I had to take a picture! Not bad for shooting in the dark!

Addy and her goofiness

Adeline got herself into Gweny's chair the other day with her snack! So I started talking to her like a baby and she said, "Mooooom I'm not a baby, silly!" Just needed a change of atmosphere I guess.

I couldn't pick a favorite so you get to see all the ones I took.

More randomness in January

While the kids were eating I busted out the camera and said, "K show me your food"......as you can see boys will be boys and girls are just sweet! LOL I probably would have opened my mouth too!

Gram cracker cookies are sooooooooooo good! Didn't realize they were that messy!

Then Gweny realized she could get it to stick to her face and get a laugh out of her siblings.

Who said laundry wasn't fun to do!

So she discovered her thumb........not letting that slide!

Robert and I felt like playing the Wii the other night and Ian was so good to keep Gweny away from the TV.....aren't they cute! Gweny loves her brothers......they are so cute with her.

Me and my buddy!

Adeline coloring, one of her favorite things to do.

A special day!

 Well the day has finally come....Elijah has turned 8 and wants to get baptized! We are so proud of you big guy! You are a great student, older brother, friend, and son! Thanks for all you do for our family with helping your brother and sisters! We love you....always remember this day! Thanks to all those who came to support Elijah and celebrate with us.

Grandma is the bus driver on the way to school!

Having show and tell at school...

Who said Pudding was just for eating?!

I haven't done any crafts or whatever with my girls because I got out of the habit with the boys...they weren't really into it once they got a little older. So I decided we would have some fun with pudding today! Gweny wasn't to sure right at first and Adeline dug right in!

Towards the end she was all about eating it, and wiping it EVERYWHERE!! So they got a bath after....

Then they had some daddy time when Robert got home from work.

First pics of 2011!

This is the ONLY way Gweny will walk without holding on to someone...little sinker! She takes this all over the house and makes the vrmm vrmmm sound....someday she will walk on her own. *sigh*

The kids were arguing like crazy so we lined them up and they got it! LOL they thought it was pretty funny....

I knew I could get Gweny's hair into piggies, but she hates me to do her hair...well I forced her to let me today and aren't they cute!

Adeline is a Sunbeam now and she is sooooo excited! When she turned 3 this was one of the things she looked forward too!

Ian lost his first tooth! I was helping him with his teeth one morning and noticed it was loose...he didn't even realize! LOL He must have really messed with it because it was ready to come out the next day. After the gym one morning it was bothering him and he wanted it out, so we ran over to dad's office and he pulled it out! Ian didn't even make a peep and didn't even notice Robert was done.

All the kids playing so nicely together...well three of them anyway, Elijah was at school! I had to document this moment...they are rare these days!

I bribed the boys into letting me put rubber bands in their hair before we cut it short again! They had a blast with it...until we had to take them out! Adeline just went with the flow!

Last pics of 2010!

On your mark.......get set.......Go!!!  (Gweny style)

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

We went over to G&G Hallenbergers for Christmas Eve. They were singing and playing the piano and Adeline came up to me and said, "Mom I want to sing I Am A Child Of God". How cute is that?! So here she is in all her glory....she did a great job and knew all the words.

Gweny had her way with the rice crispy treat and then got mad when I wanted to clean her up! I would to if I looked that cute wearing my food!

Horace, Micheal, and Robert

Adeline was so excited to get the Tangled doll as she calls her!

Thanks G&G for the cool gifts! 

 The boys asked  Santa for a Bey Blade stage and Bey Blades...they literally played it all day!

Micheal and Gena came to visit! We haven't seen them in 5 years so it was a real treat! We love you guys! It was so good to spend some time with you!
