MILKSHAKES

New Bikes

We were getting ready to go camping and we had no choice but to get new bikes. All the kids bikes were sitting outside having the sun beat down on them and the dogs chewed up Joey and Brody's seat. The kids were very happy to get new ones and didn't want them to get dirty so in the house they came. 

SPORTS

Max had his friend Zach over for the day. Its all about Football of course and alittle golf!!

Gymnastics

I decided to put Joey in Gymnastics to see if she would like it. She did like it, but then it kindof faded. Shes a mover and I think she wanted something faster pace. They were teaching her fundamentals and she"d rather just get out there and play. We tried it though:)

Tree Hill Crest Farm

Joeys class went to the Christmas Tree Farm. It is such a fun class trip. You can cut your own tree or they have tree ready to go. I want to get my flogged next year, it just looks so Christmas!!

Christmas Tree

We started this tradition 3 years ago. We decided that every tree needs a good home whether it has holes in it or not. The kids think its fun to cut the rope and see how pretty the tree is!!!

Christmas 2013

Here are some random pics of the 3 Christmas parties we have each year. The kids this year wanted a Kindle. It seems like every year the gifts are getting more expensive and smaller. I do love their faces when they open gifts. The gleam in their eyes is priceless. My parents are still dressing up each year which is very sweet of them. The kids have figured out though-lol

Tenaya Lodge

One of my favorite vacations with the family. We had such a fun time together. The kids really loved this hotel and all the fun things it had for them. We went swimming, skating and of course played in the snow....alot!!!!!!!

Football!!!!!!!! Max's first year of tackle football. He's number 80 and daddys helping coach. Max loves it. I still get nervous whens hes out there:( but I know hes having fun:) I feel like his dreams were finally coming true. Max has had a football in his hand since he could walk. His favorite team is the Saints and loves anything related to them. He has Drew Bree's jersey and over the last 8 years i bet I have bought at least 50 footballs. We have every football from regular youth, adult, glow in the dark, minis and his last Christmas gift was a rugby ball. Hilarious. He watches sports center when he can and talks about drafting and the trades, he knows almost as much as Joseph. He might not always want to play but I know it will be apart of his life:) Sure hope he marries a girl that's really into Football!!! I'm praying for a Christian first then a football gal:)lol
