Christmas day

I love Christmas!! On Christmas Eve we took reindeer food and spread it on the front lawn.

And made cookies for Santa!!

The kids started the morning by putting baby Jesus in the manger and a family reading of the bible. I think that Haylee has the story of Christ bith memorized. Then we opened presents. their was paper and screams of joy and more paper and more screams of joy. Erin now has a collection of horses and she is sooo very thankful.

The other kids loved the clothes and all the toys. Me and kit loved the kitchen gadgets, vaccums, and stuff. Thank you ssooo much to all the grandparents and great grandparents. We love you all very much. Have a Happy New Year. I made the video so you guys could get a look at all the fun we had.

Christmas party

It has been a while!! November went by fast. And Christmas came before we knew it. Haylee, Erin, and Tyler all did wonderful Chrisymas plays at school. I was very happy to hear the kids say Merry Christmas through out all the plays. The last day of school was a Polar Exspress theme. The kids had a blast.

We had some friends over for a Christmas party. We played some games. We took the 2 five year old boys and stuffed them with balloons to make them look fatter like Santa Cluses.
We also made the kids find all 8 of Santas riendeer. 8 kids under the age of 9 and 6 adults in one house was LOUD but was soo much fun.

Halloween 2009

Well I know its a little late but here are the Halloween pics. Haylee is a cowgirl. Erin is Tinkerbell. Tyler is the Hulk. And Kryssi is a pretty"pony". They don't real know what unicorns are so she told everyone she was mommies pretty pony. Tyler loved Halloween this year. He is going to be like his dad a love to dress up just to see if he can get some kind of reaction out of people. We went to the church fall festival. They had bible related games and lots of candy. After telling them we were going to leave because they were not playing any games they all the sudden found a game to play. Tyler liked the " Red Sea Raceway". It was a sack race with the sides looking like a sea. Haylee and Erin both took turns going back and forth between a arm wrestling game and a water gun game. They were arm wrestling Samson, after his hair had been cut. And the water game was to shoot out a candle with a water gun. Erin was good at it. Kyrssi real did not care about anything but eating the candy!! we had a good time.

pumpkin carving time!!

We had a lot of fun last night carving pumpkins. Normally Haylee and Erin try as hard as they can not to throw up. This year they did pretty good. Haylee only gagged once. And Erin only gagged after tasting the pumpkin cause Kryssi was eating it and said it was good. It was nice this year cause they actually got all the seeds out. All I had to do was the slim part. Which is the worse part but they did a good job of helping.

Kit got a huge pumpkin!! We joked about putting Kryssi in it but she did not quite fit.

Haylee is the spider. Erins is the cat face. Tylers is the scary face. Kryssis is the other cat. Mine was the silly face. And kits won the contest. His was a picture of Jesus.

We had a blast and now off to cook the seeds!!!
