Best assembly

Ben lost his first tooth yesterday!

Last Friday, the kids had best assembly. They meet with the different grades once a month for special programs. The theme for January was caring and sharing. Hannah received an award in the first video. Benjamin is the first boy to read in the second video.

Catching up!

Christmas Morning. Daddy looks sleepy. The kids were up at around 6:20am.

Eve's birthday dinner at Friendlys.



Love the blue raspberry drink!

Eve turns 4!

Celebrated at the bouncy house!

Okay, enough with catch up from 2009. I don't know why I can't keep up with this blog sometimes. I seriously don't do that much! I am now 63 days from due date and counting down. I see the doctor tomorrow and hope the baby has turned. Right now she is sitting breech. I can't imagine having my first C-section with my forth child. That would be so unfair. I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I will try to keep up better this year.

Happy Holidays from us!

Our little visitor

Alexia, my niece, wanted to come see Hannah for her birthday present. She flew from Tampa (by herself) and stayed with us for a long weekend. The girls had a wonderful time and it was sad to see her go. We took the kids ice skating and celebrated Alexia turning 9! Now Hannah wants to go see Alexia for her birthday.

Eve's first time ice skating! She made it around the rink one time.

Wedding shots

Derek performed his first ceremony! He did such a good job.

I'm having a..........

GIRL! Derek is going to be outnumbered! He already has father-son trips planned for every year. I have 104 days to go and counting...... Derek and I just got back from Florida a week ago. Derek performed his first marriage on the beach. It was a beautiful wedding and he did such a good job. I will post pictures by tomorrow!

3 parades and a party

We had to take some of our games out to the garage b/c it started to rain. This is just a portion of kids that were at my house; not including the 16 adults! The downstairs was too dark to get a good shot of the decorated basement.

The adult table....there was also a kid's snack table down stairs and lots of pizza!

Parade #1 (Hannah was embarrassed that she had her clothes under her costume, so she didn't want me to take a picture of her.)....and so it begins.

You see my little Native American chief?

Eve was freezing, but she didn't want to cover up her costume with a sweater.

I was a pregnant witch, which Derek said was very fitting...ha, ha, ha! I should wear it everyday for the next 4 months!
