Christmas Break - ok a little late

A little zoo outing with
David, Brenda, Cordan, Courtney and our family. David, all I can say is WHY?:)

Happy Birthday Brenda and Courtney

Brenda and Courtney express fear of the future. Listen up ladies, all will be okay.

Cute Halle Sayings

Last night I was laying down with Halle trying to get her to sleep. The boys were being very loud in their room and I was telling them to get into bed and be quiet. Connor was ignoring me and talking over me, so I told him he was being rude. This really offended Halle, who informed me that, "Connor isn't WUDE, he's SPWECIAL!"'.

Another cute moment....

This morning we were walking back from taking the boys to school and it was very foggy. I told Halle that is is very foggy this morning. She said yes it is very froggy and proceeded to "ribbit, ribbit" all the way home!

Public Again

Well for a brief moment this blog was private but I'm still not sure about that so we will try public again.


Did you ever have one of those days that just seem to be out to get you? Today is one of those days. Trevor left on a business trip at 5:30 am, which woke the dog, who whined in his cage until I let him out. Then I was so tired that I let him back inside too soon and he proceeded to make a mess on the new rug. So instead of getting some MUCH needed shut-eye, I cleaned the rug. When I am this tired, I always overflow the coffee pot, so I just heated up some from last night in the microwave and left it IN the microwave while I went to Halle's school to volunteer for 3 hours with 13 children (sans caffeine). Now that I'm done whining, I'm giving it all up, ignoring the dust bunnies and going to take a nap. See ya.

Some catch-up photos-Halloween/Thanksgiving

Courtney and Halle enjoying each other.

Cheese!

Grandpa Pow- Did he just tell a corny joke about round bales of hay.

Something was funny!

The puzzle queens. We decided that Mom was the queen, Halle the princess, and Grandpa the court jester.

Enjoying Gage

Kim and Gage came to see us a few weeks ago. It was so nice to chat with Kim again in the big blue chair. Gage proved to have a super strong immune system and withstood two of our kids coming down with the flu during his visit. Thanks for coming to see us! Come back soon!

We survived soccer season

Here is super soccer player, a.k.a. Connor, with some of the other "red oceans". Try yelling that 10 times. He was one of the youngest players but he did a great job defending the goal. Go Connor! Go Red Oceans!:)
