Merry Christas 2011



Christmas Eve started out with one of our "Traditions" the kids being able to make their shirts that they will wear to bed.  This year we only have two kids because the other 3 went to see their other mom.  So Jackson and Nicholas started planning their shirts.  Nicholas decided on Kool-Aide Man, and Jackson decided on Captain America.  Dad went and bought some blue spray paint and Nichlas used markers.  We had a lot of fun then off we went to Grandma Wheelers for our evening of fun, food, and family.  We had a lot of fun and what to our surprise good ol Saint Nick came and it was a  hit.  Nicholas was "to big" to go get a picture with santa, but I'll get him next year.

This is their cool shirts they made, now were off to Grandma's house.

Pictures 2011

Ok so for Christmas each year it is a tradition in our family that we trade off each year on who gets who.  It has worked out really well, just trying to remember who you had last year is the biggest task.  This year Emily has me, yeah!!!!!  She decided to get one of her good friends to do a photo shoot for us.  After they were all done I had our Neighbor Burton do a little touch up on a few of the things that I didn't like (my gray hair was one of them but don't tell)  he did such a great job.  Here are a few of the pictures.  I was going to show the before and after but why would I want to show anyone my gray hair. 

This one is awesome!  Dallas asked us if we wanted any other pictures and Skyler said "YES, one by the white fence".  It turned out great.  Good Job Skyler

My Favorite!  Love my kids!

Sports...Sports...Sports

Well my two older children are busy little bee's playing sports.  Nicholas is busy playing football  and Sydney is beginning the journey of Basketball. It seems like I never see them anymore and I don't like that very much.  Here are some pictures of them, Nicholas at his City League All-Star game and Sydney at her first home game of the year. I was only able to get one photo of her because her coach was not there yet and I was able to interrupt there warm up practice.  hee hee hee, don't tell.   Oh I had to put in a picture of Nicholas at his first concert playing his new found love Guitar.  He did good I was really impressed.  ; )
