Wrapping Up 2013

You stuck with nothing more than photos and captions. Sorry!

We had a LATE NIGHT with the Ward's and it was absolute
riot! The little girls were here, and they owned the night!

The boys all went to Kambria's and the older girls went to Ward's
and it was perfect!

On many occasions you can find this posse
 owning the streets of Azure and Prism.

Even our next door neighbor Shane hangs out with the girls.
Sure, he prefers playing with Landon and Gabe and Parker, but the pink posse works too.

We hit the Art Festival down on the river and made a whole bunch of crafts.

And played the drums.


Right before School started, I had to get the first bulletin board
up at the school. I had help!

We soaked in as much sun as we possibly could.

Who needs training wheels?
Not Brooklyn.

Or Jocelyn!

Seriously, this crowd!

And this one.

We own the fun in the summer.
Just sayin'.

School started, and left this one behind.
She and I hit the fair in the early mornings and she went back to taking
a nap for a brief week.

Like I said, FAIR TIME!

And Ice Cream!

Then I had surgery and I got a FANCY NEW NURSE!

She even snuggled with me sometimes!

This is Brooklyn's friend Kayla, who's mother
is my good friend, who took us grocery shopping when I was well enough to go.
She pushed the cart for me and everything because I couldn't, and Brooklyn
and Kayla helped by handing us everything we needed.

And Grandma Betty sends cards, just because she's awesome.

Brooklyn's best friend really is Peyton.

Landon needed another dentist appointment.
He had a very painful tooth coming in, but we didn't know what was
causing the pain, so we had to go check it out. Nothing big.
Just needed to loose a tooth, and he did.

And he's off! This kid reads like crazy! We love it!

School might be in full swing, but it's still warm enough for FroYo!

Kyle and I hit Subway sometimes, with the kids in school, and take these two on occasion.

Miss Jo's hair's goal is to be like Rapunzel.
Can't blame her. She has the best head of hair!
Evah!

This girl! She's suddenly taken to having a million stuffed animals
in bed with her. She sleeps so soundly, I was able to turn the light on
to take this photo. She also likes looking at books!

September 2013
This girl doesn't let me shoot enough photos of her anymore,
She's getting too big! I can't believe she's going into 5th grade.

Mr. Landon still loves Legos. And  his imagination continues to blossom.
There is always time for a dog pile at the end of any given day, too.

That's it. 2013 in a quick post! Sheesh. I used to be so good at this blogging thing.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!!

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Catelyn--The Birthday Girl!

She knew.  I told her that she was getting a dress for her 8th birthday.  We tried some on, and fell in LOVE with the one we ended up surprising her with!  Doesn't she look too grown up?   I teared up as I watched 12 more years flash before my eyes as I saw her in this mini-wedding dress.  But it was the one for her.  We knew it. With Grandpa Dean's passing, we received special permission {which Kyle didn't like to have to ask for, because in the church handbook, it specifically says "Members should not ask for special permission to baptize their children. . .blah, blah blah....*Oh!! not that I am making fun of the handbook.  I just don't what it says exactly* I argued back that this was a rare exception, and we should at least ask. {Also, not as rare as I thought-- as I found out Friday night -March 18- that the family who had a viewing going at the same time as ours, at Coltrin's, had a baptism and a funeral in the same day as well! ...
