Family bowling trip

Beginning of Feb. we took a break from everyday stuff and went bowling. it was a blast. everyone had fun except Jessie who was very tired and ready to go home after the first game. The little guys were funny. Jake would run up and throw the ball and then run back as fast as he could to watch. and Jessie rolled the ball between her legs and it barely made it down to the pins every time. really cute. here are the pix and video's

OK, so it has been forever since I posted.

Jake had a birthday party that he went to for his friend Anna in January. They got to do rock wall climbing here are a few pics from that

Jakob had scouts last night and he was so excited about getting the rest of his uniform and me putting on his new patches that we just had to take a pictures. after the meeting he brought home more stuff to add to his uniform. He has almost earned his tiger cub patch. Just have to have 1 more Den meeting and do a couple of family activities and a few field trips and he will have it.

Xmas pictures 2009

my favorite. she was mad because she said that she does not know how to smile

2009 is almost over. wow.

We had a great Christmas. the kids were spoiled like normal. Santa brought them a new trampoline to replace the broken pieces to the old one. (it was much cheaper to buy a new one then to order a new pad for the springs and net for the enclosure) Sean got a new tv. We video taped but did not get many pictures. sorry. I will see if I can get some of the video on the computer.

We spent Christmas eve baking cookies and then had our Christmas party with Erik's family. by the time we got back from church and ate and then they had to wait for me to get home, (I had to work 2 services at the church0 and opened gifts and everyone left it was pretty late. I think the kids got to bed around 10:30. they did get their notes written to santa. Jake's cracked me up because he wrote. "Dear Santa, I do not have a cavity and I want star wars clone wars. Love Jakob" We did have dentist appointments that week and we had gotten a letter from school saying that they had a teeth screening and it appeared that Jakob had 1 or more cavities. He was really worried about that and when the dentist told him he did not he was pretty excited but was not expecting that to come out on his Dear Santa letter. made me laugh. well Erik and I were up pretty late finishing wrapping and getting stuff set up.

Christmas morning the kids slept in to about 8 and then 2 of them the girls woke up and we had to wake the boys up. we opened gifts and then played a bit and then had breakfast/brunch. after we cleaned up we went to Erik's parents house to deliver their gift and she gave the kids some stocking gifts that santa left there. and then onto Aunt bonnies and uncle mikes.

Saturday
I had work and the 3 younger kids came with me. then we dropped Jake off at home and went on to do some shopping and pick up lunch, then home to get ready for company. Aunt Cathy, Michelle and Jason and kids came over to visit and have dinner.
