Christmas Eve...

Christmas Tree

Our tree 2008

Christmas Church Program

Well as you can see - "A" was a shepherd in our church program last weekend. He had a singing part, but the night I brought the camcorder - he forgot to sing when it was his turn - so I'm NOT including that video. He was devistated.

He's the one at the right - in the front, if you can't tell. I'm in the back just right of him. I made the shepherd staffs!

K'Nex

Well "A" got a huge set of K'Nex last year and my Mom gave him 2 more sets this year...He's almost used them all for these great creations -- But he won't let us put them away!!!!!

:)

No Martha Stewart!

Well - I've been taping Martha Stewart's show every day since she started her holiday shows. One day she made a feather tree - it was BEAUTIFUL!!! I decided it would be very inexpensive and should be easy to do and I wanted to try it.

Well - this is my pitiful version of Martha Stewart's feather tree.

"A" made the star for the top!!!

Holiday Program 12.15.08

Today's holiday program at school.

Cub Scout CHEER

Cub Scout cheer at the last Pack Meeting! By the way...They are all 1st graders! Look how much bigger "A" is than the rest!!! :)

Letter for Santa

We finally took A's letter down to "Santa's Mailbox" today. If we include a "s.a.s.e." (self-addressed-stamped-envelope) {which we did}, then he'll receive a letter back from Santa!!!

Family Picture

We had family pictures taken at church last week (before Thanksgiving).

Here's a couple.

Halloween

Well another Power Ranger year. This year he was the "Special Ranger" from the newest Jungle Fury series. He did have a mask - he just wasn't allowed to wear it at school and he didn't want to wear it to walk the neighborhood for Trick-or-Treat ----- SOOOO we spray painted his hair orange to match his costume!!! :)

Here's a few pictures from his school party and our neighborhood block party before T-O-T.

At school they have a "march" before the parties start!

Here they had a race to "toilet paper" someone into a "mummy".

I was in charge of the craft - we turned everyone's thumbprints into spiders and pumpkins.

At the block party before going Trick-or-Treating!

I know i haven't been on in a while - but i just had to share the new picture of "A" from his 2nd Cub Scout meeting - isn't he ADORABLE?!!!

Walking to 1st Grade Classroom

1st Day of 1st Grade

Lyla and Zoey FRIENDS AT LAST

Finally Zoey and Lyla are doing well together at the house. They are definetely sisters, we still have some fights and picking on each other, but they are doing great!

Cute aren't they?!!!

Back to School Night!

3 Pictures of 'A' at his desk in his new 1st grade classroom (Mrs. Richard).

School starts Monday. He's excited but it's SOOO hot in the school - hopefully it will cool off a little soon.

We got some new things for the cats to share when Lyla comes home. Here is Zoey enjoying the new stuff!

WE PICKED UP LYLA!

Here's a quick video of the sickly Lyla on her way to the vet.

Kids Craft Camp

We did Kids Craft Camp at Pat Catan's all week. The theme was "Under the Sea". He made all kinds of WONDERFUL fishy projects. Here is one of him cutting out his crab bulletin board and another of him playing with the cellaphane jelly fish they made.

ENJOY!

Baseball Tonight...

Well as you can see - I'm loving the new video camera, and boy is it easy to use and upload these videos.

This is video from tonight's practice. He's going to be on the "RED" team - he got his t-shirt tonight. He says he's "alright" with being on the red team even though his favorite color is green. :)

Enjoy tonight's videos and watch for more - games start next week!!!

In these 2 videos - he's the one at bat.

First Night of Baseball...

Just a quick video of "A" at this year's first night of baseball practice.

More Lyla...

Another video of Lyla...and one of her siblings and momma.

a funny for today

Just a quicky...Mark decided that the video I named "new toy" should have been named "Blair Witch Project 2" :)

Mary said it right when she said that's classic for my kid!!! HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

Lyla

I think we figured out last night which is the girl - and she's the prettiest anyway. White on her chest and feet.

Here's a picture of her...

Kittens

Saw the 1 month old kittens today. There seems to be 2 boys and 1 girl. We're hoping for the girl and to name her Lyla.

My Son!!!

Wonderful Black and White picture taken of "A" by my sister.

Here's a picture that my sister, Katie, took of us the other day.
