Easter and Spring Dance

Here are a few Easter pictures of the kids. It was hard to get all three of them to look and smile at the same time so they aren't the best. Kristopher and Dillon wanted to keep watching sister trying to make her smile!! Her dress is beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice.

The next set is of Kristopher and his friends after the Spring dance at school. They had a great time and came home telling me all about how they danced all night and different things they did. They had a blast. The first picture I took they were all just standing like they didn't like each other (you know how boys are) so the one where they are all hugging I told them to act like they liked each other!! :-) To funny!

Birthday Party!

Kristopher's party went great Friday night. He had 18 people here. I think there were 6 girls. The rest boys. All but one boy stayed the night. They had fun playing outside, they played football, and man hunt. They also played in the back yard on the trampoline. They played in our yard and at the park a block away. I was terrified someone was going to get hurt watching them rough housing around, but it all went great. They stayed up late talking and goofing off and watching movies. But they were up bright and early. I heard them about 7:15 and got up and made Bacon and Eggs, pancakes and toast. They eate 24 eggs and I don't even know how many pancakes!! Hungry boys!! Here are a few pics of the evening!

Kristopher is 13!!!

My baby turned 13 on the 4th!! I can't believe it!! We are having his party tomorrow night (the 6th) but I made him a caked for his actual birthday and he opened his presents from us. I will post more after his party!! Here are some pictures of last night.

Kristopeher's Spaghetti Dinner

Kristopher is in Home Ec at school and he is learning how to cook so if he cooks at home then he gets extra credit for his class. He brought this recipe home from class and wanted to make it for us. He made it at school and said it was great. So he made it for us tonight and it was WONDERFUL!! Kaitlyn is here so she REALLY enjoyed her first experience with spaghetti so I just had to share these pics!! They are to stinking cute!

Lookie what I got.........

I just got these a little bit ago from my wonderful hubby!! I had no idea he totally suprised me. I didn't get him anything so I guess I will be in the dog house. LOL He is in Chicago till friday, so he really sneaked this around me!! :-) What a wonderful guy he is!!

Snow Day

Just wanted to share a few pics of the boys playing in our first real snow this year. Its not a whole lot, but its enough to play in and call off school today!! It was must worse yesterday (when these pics were taken) it was blowing like crazy and before that it was all ice for about 2 hours then turned to snow. So the roads were HORRIBLE!! I was on my way to pick up Dillon and Kaityln and did a 180 in the entry way to the neighborhood that the sitter lives in. I was scared out of my mind.
The kids sure enjoyed it though. Kristopher is out now with Craig! I'm glad I'm not young anymore I hate the cold and would hate to have to go out in that and play!! LOL Glad I can sit by my fireplace and stay nice and WARM!!!

More pics of the kids

I just wanted to post a few new pics of the kids!! There is one of Kristopher wrestling. They didn't turn out great because of the lighting in the gym. The others are of Kaitlyn munching on a roll, and just being her cute self, and dillon just being cute for the camera! Mom there is one of sister wearing the dress you got her for Christmas!

Valentines Banquet

We had a great time at a Valentines Banquet last night. Our church is starting a new ministry called "Marriage Alive", and this was the kick off. We will be doing something each quater for married couples. Our next one is in June and it will be Hawaiian themed, then in September we will have a formal. We ate played games and had a small message. It was a great time of fellowship and fun!! Here are a few pictures from last night!


This is Cotton and I, Our friend Tom was suppose to bring his wife Lori but she got sick and couldn't come so my good friend Melissa and I said we would be his dates! :-)




Our friends Ken and Melissa Melissa and I

First Wrestling Match

I just had to hop on and say what a great job Kristopher did at his first wrestling match! He didn't win but he didn't get pinned either. He went through all three quaters. He got on his feet after all of the moves the other kid put on him. He would reverse it or roll over when the kid had him on his back. For his first match ever he was wonderful and I was very proud of him. I video tapped it and a friend took some pics, so I will post those when i get them from her.

Christmas Pictures of my Niece and Nephew

I had to post a few pictures of Dillon and Kaitlyn for all the family and friends to see. They came over Christmas Eve to open presents since we were going to be gone Christmas Day. Some of the pictures are of Kaitlyn in her Christmas dresses. Brandy bought the red one and I bought the pink one. She wore the pink one the week before Christmas to church then the red on Christmas Eve Sunday to church. She was just to darn cute!! And my little man got bath paint for Christmas so he of course had to go straight upstairs and get in the tub. Boy did he have fun!! What a sweetie pie he is!!!
