My children have inherited my obsession!

I think I have a picture of all the kids vacuuming naked! Grace was so funny the other day just cleaning naked. Could she be my child???

A party for Uncle Eli...

Uncle Eli & Aunt Cindy looking adorable together!

Daisy loved her Aunt Cindy!

Grace gets an airplane ride from Uncle Eli!


Eli turned 27 while he was visiting, so we had to have a little party for him. And hey, what would a party be without a little pin -the -pirate- on- the- treasure -chest!




Here is Uncle Eli almost burning down the house with all his candels!


More skating pictures...

Here we are having fun at the skating rink!
Eli & Cindy- can they get any cutier???



Grace had SO much fun skating...
There she is going all by herself!




Uncle Eli & Tristin looking pretty cool!



Roller Skating...











Okay, it's been about a zillion years since I put roller skates on, and let me tell you, I felt pretty silly wabbling around out there, but we had SO much fun! it was great to watch the kids struggle/ and have fun. Grace had Fisher Price skates, and we was out there walking like she owned the place! Daisy REALLY struggled, but after we got the Fisher Price ones for her (It's really like walking because they aren't "slippery") she did SUPER! Tristin did really awesome for his first time with a few falls, but regaurdless, they had a great time!




More with Uncle Eli & Aunt Cindy...











We had such a great time when my brother and his girlfriend/almost finance came for a visit! Eli even shaved his "homeless man looking bierd when he was here!!! He looked SO handsome afterwards! Grace was pretty scared of him with his "wiskers", but warmed right up after he shaved. Aunt Cindy is an angel straight from Heaven, and now I know why he loves her so much! She was so easy to be with, AMAZING with the kids, so patient and helpful, funny and absoultly adorable. The kids were glued to both of them practicly every waking second. Poor Cindy couldn't even go to the bathroom without them knocking on the door a hundred times!




Christmas pictures...











Here's a few pictures from Christmas morning. It was a wonderful day- very relaxing. We went to trav's parents for dinner and spent the afternoon there. We were home by 5:30, and relaxed some more. It was a perfect day...




Fun in the snow...












Trav and I had fun playing with the kids last week in the snow. We built a snow fort, and a tiny, sad little snowman, but the kids had fun. it was funny, after they got cold and went inside, Trav & I were still out there building the snow fort by ourselves, thinking; Oh, what we do for our kids!



Our first sleding experience...












So, we went sledding almost 2 weeks ago for our first time, and the kids had a blast. The park we went to had the perfect sized hill for the kids. Grace didn't want to get of the sled! After awhile though, it got too cold and we had to come home. Fun, fun.




Gracie's birthday pictures!












Here's a few more of Gracie's birthday. The kids had fun!



Grace turns 2!!!













Even though G-ma & G-pa were the only ones to make it to the party, Grace had a blast on her birthday! Having a party on December 22nd, doesn't draw a very big crowd.
