Happy New Year!!

Well the kids had an amazing Christmas, they got (i believe) everything they wanted- even though we went so much lighter this year! Trent and i were happy just being together with our family this year! It has been an amazing year and we are looking forward to a new one! We wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

New Years Eve we went to PF Changs for dinner! We were lucky enough to have Mom and Colin, Chris, Shawn and Bonnie, and of course Athena join us! it was a good time! After dinner we went back to the house and played our new Wii all night! Kamree stayed up til past the New Year (holy cow!) and we banged pots and pans and ate lots of junk food! lots of fun! Kelsey and Jordan were both home with us (kind of against there will), but before long they will be staying out all night with there friends - i was happy to spend it as a family - and after they were done being bugged - they had lots of fun too! :)

Christmas at Grandma's

I am so thankful for everything that we are blessed with! I could go without any presents for Christmas and be perfectly content knowing that i have my family. I feel so lucky that we are all healthy and blessed in so many ways! Thank you all for all you do! I love that our family is so close, in means so much to me! love you all!

Christmas Time!

Kamree and her teacher at Newcastle School - Miss Dawn! Getting ready for my Christmas performance! i sang so good!!

These are my friends from school! My best friend is Macyn (in the white dress) - we are inseperatable.

After Kamree and i took this picture, she had me stay in the sleigh while she pretended to pull the sleigh (there were bells that she wrapped around her neck)

Sisters and best friends!

She is getting so good at gymnastics! it is not uncommon for her to kick me throughout the day while doing her cartwheels ALL through-out the house!!

Its the best time of the year!

I love ice skating - and i am so berry good! you should watch me do circles and my mom and dad can barely keep up with me!

Sending Santa my letter! I really want Pixos and my sister really wants a camera! I have been a super good girl - All year long!

Kelsey at one of her performances with Clayton! What a super star! She can sing and dance at the same time (well most of the time) hehe!

Kamree and our cousin tied for the cutest Christmas pj's at our family Christmas party! She was very excited!

Thanks Grandma!

Thanks Grandma for letting us have the party at your house! Playing was so much fun! Kamree and I really enjoyed shopping for our little "angel" this year. Its such a great feeling to give, I know we made someone Christmas wish come true!

Kamree and Hudson were such a riot with the Mr. Fuzzies! Even if they never play with them again, it was worth the laugh that everyone got out of them! Kamree kept jumping into my arms! Gotta love it!

Sibling Christmas party! 2008

The kids all sang beautifully! I feel so lucky every day to have such beautiful, heathly, strong-minded (most days) girls! My life would be so empty without them!
