I'm playing the game!!!!!

Megan thought we should all join in on Jill's game that she played on her blog and this is what we came up with. You have to go to your pictures folder and go to the 6th folder and then pick the 6th picture and explain what it is.
I think it's funny that this is what I got because I love this picture. Maleah, Rena, and Cameron got to spend the weekend with us while Stefanie and Jeff went to Peoria and Maleah wouldn't leave Mike alone. It was really cute. Every time he would sit down she would crawl up on the chair with him. It was cracking me up all weekend.
Don't they look so cute????? :)

Now that's snow

The snow has definately arrived at our house now. We have about 10 inches so far and it is suppose to keep coming. We will see what happens as the days go on.
Megan came in for a break. They spent the whole morning out sleding with Mike. We have enough hills around our house that they find good places to slide.

Alex needed to catch up on his computer game so he had to take a break to. They were cold when they came in but it didn't take long until they headed back out.

This was the early evening. By tonight you could barely see the bulbs in the light.

The trees and things looked really neat. The pictures don't look as nice as the actual plants did.

Our road is a bit slippery but we are ok once we get to the main road. Luckily we have 4wd so that seems to help when you start to slide off the road.

Storm Warning

Watch out this is a huge snow storm you are about to see. The kids didn't have any school and hardly anyone showed up to work today. The weather was just to bad!!!!!!!
Look at how big those flakes are. The grass is almost covered.

Look at how well the snow has covered the lawn. Good thing it kept coming down.

We barely had enough to make a snowman but the kids managed to find enough for a baby.

Peggy's Weekend

Peggy got to make a quick trip to visit for the weekend. She came to see all of us and her Aunt Ethel before Christmas. It was a fast weekend but we made the most of the time we had and we all had a great time.
Megan loves the fact that she is almost taller than Peggy.

Peggy brought them some early Christmas presents and they were both so excited. Megan go the new jacket that she is wearing and Alex got the skateboard that he has been asking for.

Thanks for the great presents Peggy!!!!!!!

Megan and Alex even decided they should help Peggy with her Christmas cards. I hope they were really some help.

Peggy got to spend some time down with her Aunt Ethel. Ethel is 98 years old and she is living at the nursing home, Linden Grove, downtown Puyallup. This is a really good picture of them!! :)

Megan, Alex, Ethel and I.

We had to say goodbye so quickly. Hopefully we will get to see each other again soon. We always have so much fun.

Megan's Choir Program

Megan had a choir concert at school tonight. The show was really good and she had a great time.

She put on a good show with all of the girls from her choir class.Megan in the middle of the action.

They are all ready to start the show.

Megan and Alex after the show was over.

Mike, Megan and Alex. They were all so excited to have me take their picture again.

We had a good time listening to the choirs and the bands at the show. Good job Megan!!!!

Christmas Party

We had our first Christmas party of the year last night. It was a lot of fun and the kids all had a great time. We had lots to eat and drink and we even sat out by the campfire. It was really cold out but the 10 foot high flames did help.
All of the kids were so happy to pose for a picture.

Mike was also really happy when I got his picture.!!!!

The girls had fun opening presents.

The girls all love Pat. I am not sure that he likes them bugging him all the time but he is still smiling.

The boys had fun with their presents also. They got some good stuff!!!!

Madi, Megan and Megan all had fun with their packages.

Ryan and Alex. They always make such pretty faces!!!! :)

Pat, Michelle, and Mark.

We had a lot of fun with everyone as usual. It was a great way to kick off the Christmas party season. :)

Christmas Tree

I have had requests to see the final product on the Christmas tree so here it is. All decorated and waiting for some presents underneath. I haven't gotten anything wrapped yet so you have to wait for those pictures!!!!!
