Bike ramp...

LOGAN

Neighbor dad

Neighbor girl

So, the kids have been jumping the curbs when they are out riding their bikes. Mike doesn't want them to ruin their rims or tires so he decided to build them a ramp. Now they have competitions with each other and the neighbor kids to see who can jump the highest and farthest! Even one of the dads got in on it one day, so OF COURSE I had to take pictures! :) We have so much fun outside! Logan is the record holder so far at 70+ inches! (the neighbor dad beat Logan but Logan kept trying until he beat the dad because he couldn't stand that a dad had beat him!!) Mike did try this too but it was a day that I was gone to work. I don't know if it's because he didn't want me to take pictures or because he didn't want me to be present incase something happened and I said "I told you so!"

Christmas #3

My niece, Sara, after she opened her new "laptop" from us!

She's been wanting one, so we delivered!

My sweet nephew, Ryan, sitting in his new chair from G&G Pobieglo. Look at that smile!

Logan with his new fishing game for the Xbox 360.

Carlee reading the card that says she is signed up for 6 months of dance classes! Look how happy she is! She's been asking to do this for months but we couldn't do them and soccer!

I would have lost my mind!! Thank you G&G Pobieglo!!

This is Christmas w/ Mike's family. It was refreshing and toned down this year. We spent the whole day together Saturday (the day after Christmas). We snacked on food, opened presents, played together, snacked on food, played some more and then had our family Christmas dinner. It was very fun to just spend the day together and not have a schedule and be able to play with the kids and enjoy their new toys. Carlee received dance lessons for the next 6 months from G&G Pobieglo, along with some other fun toys. Logan received the Bass Pro Shops The Strike for the Xbox 360, along with some other fun toys. They both had a wonderful Christmas this year.

Christmas #2

Two of my nieces, Audrey and Livvy, smiling with their loot!

My other niece, Shelby, being as cute as ever! She had a blast this Christmas.

Carlee and Audrey playing with their guitars that grandpa and grandma got them.

I don't usually like pictures of myself but I think this one turned out okay. Merry Christmas!

Logan and Carlee smiling with their LOOT! Thank you G & G Cronin!!!!

This is a group shot before the craziness started of the "opening".

This was Christmas w/ my parents and family. It's getting bigger every year! It is so fun with all the kids! Seeing them open their gifts and be so excited is a gift in and of itself! We have so much fun watching them! Then we eat, and EAT and EAT!!!!!! What a feast! My mom asked for requests from everyone this year and prepared something that everyone liked. It was wonderful to have so many different things. Thank you mom for all your hard work, it was FABULOUS!

Christmas #1

Carlee and her new bike helmet. It is gray w/ white butterflies and red ladybugs.

Logan and one of his new sweatshirts

Carlee w/ her new bedding set that Santa brought.

She says that she thinks Mrs. Claus sewed it for her! WOW!

Logan and his new airsoft gun, look at that smile! Thank you Santa!! (of course that wasn't enough, he pooled all his Christmas money and bought another gun w/ MORE pellets, 4 days after Christmas!! - BOYS!!)

This was OUR Christmas morning. The kids got exactly what they wanted. Logan FINALLY got his airsoft gun (w/ eye protection), some new chapter books, a movie, army stuff and an erector set and a space science set. Carlee got a new bedding set, boots, earrings and Littlest Pet shop stuff and a new bike helmet. They also both received the traditional Christmas PJ's. It was fun!

Making a Gingerbread house

Carlee's first grade class had a Christmas party and we made Gingerbread houses. It was really fun and the kids ate more than they put on their houses. Big surprise!
