My Shirley Temple Girl!

This is Olivia's hair after the rollers. She didn't want me to do anything with it for school today, so this is how she went. I guess when your three you can do and do do what ever you want. I thought she looked cute my own Shirley Temple. A side view. It did look kind of cute. All the kids at school liked it. Gracie laughed when she saw it. O well!

Girl's in Rollers!!

Saturday night the girls wanted their hair in rollers for sunday. We find it entertaining so we have to take a few pictures of them. Olivia didn't get hers done til monday night. The kids are bigger now and I don't have enought rollers to only to one of Megan's head or two little heads like Olivia and Gracie's. I believe we have children that love there picture taken. They are always up for possing when the camera comes out. Gracie does love her little sister. And she love to stick her tongue out for her dad.

Jerry and the Cat!!

Jerry and our big fluffy cat have a love/hate relationship. Jerry had been out wiping our vehicles windows and ran in for something, came out and there was Chuckie on his jeep keeping warm. Jerry has gotten after him enough and not happily that when he sees Jerry he runs. That is the reason for his departure off the jeep. Jerry wanted to get him perched on the jeep but he was wanting to make a quick exit.This is Chuckie he looks huge. This isn't a good picture of him.

Megan turns "11"

Megan turned "11" on Dec 27 and the great mom that I am I didn't get one picture of her. We didn't even get her a birthday cake. What have we come to? I took her shopping and out to lunch for her birthday. I talked her out of a party! yeah for me!! This picture was taken in 2005. She is a sweet heart and we love her dearly. I feel bad at times that she was born after Christmas it makes it hard for me to be in the mood for a birthday party. She has been very patient with me for that. Halloween 2005 I bet you can't guess what she is?
I just want her to know that I didn't forget about her and her birthday. I love you! You are a sweetheart and I am so grateful to have you as my daughter. Thank you for putting up with me !
Love, mom

Nicole made her first basket

Nicole had a Young Women Basketball game tonight. She started last year it was her first year playing and the only time she has ever played. We have been taking the girls with us when I copy the bulletin and Nicole has been practicing make baskets. Well the only way she is able to make the shot is with the granny way. At tonight's game she made a basket!! It was amazing her face was shocked. I would have given anything to have had it on video. I just wanted to share that excitement with all. It was amazing the whole crowd cheered!!!! Way to go Nicole!!

Taz got treats and Nicole got a Digital Camera and clothes. Megan got the book sets that she has wanted, clothes and an Ipod (that was for her Birthday as well as Christmas.) And Singstar for the Playstation 2.

We have had so much fun with the Singstar. We are all Superstar singers. Cover your ears!!! Jerry and I could quite to get ready to go my mom and Dad's. The potatoes where a little over cooked. O well!

Santa even visited Jerry and I. We had a great Christmas!!

The rest of our Christmas was spent visiting with family. We went to the Meikle's first and had a great Lunch and opened gifts. This is Keith's second son Joe we feel he is Gracie's twin and they were separated. There attitude's, looks and actions are so similar it is unbelievable.Nicole in her new duds she got for Christmas.

The Kidd family was the next on the list we had a wonderful dinner as well and enjoyed treats passed out by Megan and Gracie. We opened gifts as well. This is Mindi and Devon he is Mindi's new squeeze. He is a cutie he seems to be keeper.Landen took care of Olivia's new baby. What a good dad he will be someday.

That sums up our Christmas it was a great one. I'm grateful we are all health and happy and all is well. We look forward to a great new year and hope the new year leaves us all health and safe. Speaking of which we did have a great new year we got together with our group of friends and played games. We had a super time. The Lord truly does bless us and we are grateful for each and everyone.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!!

It's SNOWING!! Jerry went out one night to shovel and the two little one's had to go with him. They were so excited. The first real snow fall before Christmas. There is snowmen to build and snowballs to through. They were so excited about the snow. SMILE!! O the mittens don't keep the snow off and the let the freezing fingers come. Notice the fingernails. She insists on painting her own fingernails. Don't they look great.

Olivia is a STAR!!

Olivia's class had a 20 minute concert the week or so before Christmas. They sang the cute songs and entertained us it was great. I can't believe how big she is getting. Two more years and kindergarten watch out.
Olivia's socializing with her neighbor She loves to sing two little cookies waiting for Santa. Snowman song can you tell?

The Big "37" for Jerry

Jerry is finally as old as me. YEAH! He will tell you however that I am still a half a year older than him. Jerry had lots of help with his Birthday gifts. He got the rest of the Seinfield Series on DVD. Our collection is complete! My before i go to sleep entertainment we watch and episode or two each night. They had to help him. After all he is older now!

A Springville Christmas!

Our annual trip to Springville was awesome. We had Pizza and yummy food and played games. Our cutie Parker waiting for his pops to feed him.

Once again Nathan and Celiece brought one of the funniest games to the party. I believe most of them spent the evening in the basement either singing or playing drums and guitar. I think Brookann won with her version of CREEP ( the song) it was amazing.

Gracie, Gracie, Gracie!!!

Gracie, Gracie, Gracie she could stand the tree lights when she would sleep upstairs on the couch over Christmas break. So nicole gave her, her mask and this is how she sleep.
Then there is the dog. He thinks he is one of the kids and that he gets the couch with the kids.
