Boys Tumbling xmas demos 2008

Joey and Daniel are having a lot of fun in their tumbling class this year! They are learning to be little dare devils as well. much to moms dismay! they love learning new skills and can never wait to get home to show their dad their new tumbling routines.

Nathan is in the older boys class and is improving greatly. He struggled at first being coordinated---jeff is his dad you know. But he really likes going to class to learn flips and to go on the trampoline. He is convinced that this is helping him get better at baseball so what ever works I guess!!

Lights at Thanksgiving Point 2008

So Tawnia and I and the kids decided to go down to go with mom last weekend to go through the Thanksgiving Point lights and to go see the reindeer. Jeff, Kory and Lynn decided to come along as well. The kids were so fun practically hanging out the car windows to see all the lights. And of course Marti had to come in Auntie Trystals car since it is "so much funner" than hers!!!! (just laugh tawnia its ok!) Then we walked over to see the reindeer after. it was way too cold but they had fun anyway!

2008 christmas tree

So I gave in this year and let the boys pick the tree we would do. I am sure it is no surprise to some of you but yes .......it is a STAR WARS tree this year. the boys are thrilled mom actually said yes this time. they had a great time finding things to put on it. but now that it is all decorated they are mad since mom wont let thel take their toys back off to play with during the day. :( they were told they would have to wait till January!! he he he he

first real snow since OCT!!

The boys were thrilled when is snowed on Monday. You would never had guessed that since they were out in the snow before Nathan was even off to school for the day. It was only a little bit but they enjoyed every second out playing in it and then had to come in for hot chocolate as usual.

Leaf Pile 2008

So the boys decided it was finally time to jump in a pile of leaves. WE had a good time raking then playing in them. Nathan got to take pictures with the camera so he was excited too!

I am sure there will be more leaves to rake yet since we have a huge tree with tons of leaves still on it.

Joe Dirt boys

The boys decided to play with Jeff's wig from Halloween. It was really funny.....

Haloween 2008

Ok so I finally remembered to put our Halloween pics on here......

Jeff is Joe Dirt, I am a masquerade queen, nathan is Darth Maul and joey and daniel are clone trooper leaders.

Ok so call me crazy again!

I am now watching three extra kids again from 8-5 on tu/w/thur every week . So yes I think I am crazy. I am working on a schedule to make my life easier when they are here. So now I just have to perfect it and see how it goes. I even get to take them with me to tumbling for joey and daniel on wendnesdays. Hopefully I can stay san through it all. never a dull moment in my house is there????

UEA "vacation"

So Nathan decided since it was UEA last week that is was his "vacation" so we had to do fun things the whole time. So on Thursday we decided to go to Hogle Zoo with Tawnia and the girls!
Emersyn was so proud of herself climbing on the crocodile that she ended with a roar of her own!
The kids love the oversized see saw----they were all giggling so hard it was really fun to watch!

Daniel and emersyn were not too sure of the carousel ride though!

Daniel did not like it when the elephant decided to make noise while he was sitting on it!

Marti and Joey were the map holders and took their job very seriously telling us where to go next and what animal to look for.

Ok nathan and joey are definetly my weird pcicture takers!!!
Joey and Marti choose the easy ride on the carousel!!
