Enjoy the Mud!

When the snow starts to melt, all you can do is enjoy the mud instead!

Finally Some Good Snow!

The kids were so excited yesterday that it finally snowed a lot! We got almost a foot, and I was definitely popluar with the neighbors and the neighbor kids with our plow on the 4Wheeler and our fun sledding behind the Ranger! Here are some pictures of the fun we had with the neighbors out in the snow!

Sleeping Shalise

Shalise has been sleeping pretty much anywhere but her bed the last couple months, here are some cute pictures...

Visiting Santa

The first time we went and saw Santa, Carson and Shalise sat on his lap and told him what they wanted. Carson said he wanted a scooter that sparks and a pogo stick! That's the first I've heard of the pogo stick! Shalise said she wanted a dolly. Marcus refused to sit on his lap and then cried the whole way home because he didn't get to sit on his lap. So he drew a picture instead to mail to Santa. The second time we saw Santa, our neighbor invited us to their house to see him, Marcus still wouldn't sit on his lap but he did give him a high five! Shalise said "I already see Santa" and wanted to leave... Here are some pictures from both times.

Happy (early) Birthday Shalise!

We celebrated Shalise's birthday this past weekend... :) Mostly I was just excited to give her her presents! She had a very fun day. We went to Incredible Pizza to play for a while and eat and then she cake & ice cream with some friends and cousins. I can't believe she is almost 3 already! She is growing up so fast! It is so fun to have a girly girl in the house and I love seeing "girl toys" taking over the toyroom! Shalise loves to dance and is so cute to watch, her favorite show is Angelina Ballerina. I think she knows it by heart! She got some cute princesses, a tea set and some other fun things! Happy Birthday (a little early) Shalise!!

First Snow of the Winter!

We finally had enough snow for the kids to play in and they could not have been more excited! I was told (by Carson) that I needed to make a cool ramp to sled on. Whatever that means... So I did my best and this is what we came up with. It didn't take long for all the neighbor kids to come over too, so we had a fun afternoon!! And don't laught at Shalise's coat, it was the one on clearance last year for like $6 so I know it is not the cutest but I guess I will never lose her!! :)

Happy Turkey Day!

We had a really fun Thanksgiving at Nick and Britta's house. It was just us, them and our nephew Tyler and then all the kids. We had a very yummy dinner! And the kids sure loved their cousin Tyler, they were all over him, as you can see in the pictures!

Happy Birthday Marcus!

Marcus just turned 4 years old and had a pretty awesome birthday! He opened his presents in the morning and loved them! Jake made him a really cool magnet board for him to hang in his room, he loves to draw so we thought it would be great to have somewhere to hang his pictures. Then Marcus and I went to Disney On Ice. Marcus was in heaven, he was bobbin' his little head to the music, he loved it! After that we had a bunch of neighbors over for pizza and Cake and Ice Cream. It was a pretty fun birthday for him and he is alread asking when he gets to have another birthday party!

Happy Halloween 2010!

We had a great Halloween, unfortunately is rained and poured trick-or-treating, but Jake put lights on the Ranger and we took the kids out on that, we all had a great time!
