Christmas Program (catch up)

The kids each had a Christmas program before the holiday break, they all did a great job!

Kate sang and did all the movements, I was shocked and proud!

Cayden reciting his part of the poem, a big surprise, he never told me he had a solo part!

7th and 8th grade did a very creative a awesome transformer act and Colton was the star of the show! He is not shy anymore!

 Clint's class sang a country Christmas song it was good, Clint is still shy!

Colton's favorite (teacher his math and science teacher) Mr. Joe. Who had to follow the tradition of all male teachers and senior class boys must dress as a sugar plum fairy the day of the Christmas program. I feel for them they are all such good sports! The kids love it!



Our Little Snow

We had some snow, nothing stuck, just a few hours of falling fat snowflakes!

The look of its cold I am wet and I am done with this stuff!

 Clint managed to gather a small amount off the car!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Welcome 2011

Wow! Once again a new year has rolled around!

I started blogging here a year ago remember this pic??

Well I have fallen way behind on keeping this place updated I am long overdue for a new post and more pics!

One of my Resolutions for the year is to take more family pics and archive our memories here! I have been a slacker!

Here's to the New Year Hope and Wish Everyone a Healthy, Happy and Even Wealthy One!

Really!

I can't believe this has happened but somehow I have lost all Kate's 4th B-day pics! Everything from the entire party! I am so upset right now and I can't believe this happened or even know how this happened! I some great pics and now I have nothing.... Arrgh! I did post some on Facebook maybe I can at least pull those few! I guess I have nothing to share for the cupcake party I threw Kate!

Party Party Party!

Well of course Kate had more then one party to celebrate her turning 4. Just like the boys she is spoiled when it comes to Birthday time! Her first party was at Mimi and Grandaddy's, as you will see in the pictures she is overloaded with gifts galore. She got so many things she wanted, she didn't even know what to play with first. Aunt Jill and Leon gave her Polly Pockets (Cent believe she is big enough to play with PP's already) Mimi and Grandaddy got her the Twinkle Toes she had been asking over and over for. She opened so many other things I can't list them all!

 Twinkle Toes

 Cheerleader Colton!

This mug that Kate got is very special.Mimi sent Aunt Jill flowers to her at school when she was turning 4. The flowers came in this very mug. Aunt Jill saved it and gave it to Kate. Love that so special!
