Merry Christmas 2009

Spring time fun...

I can't believe that it's almost pool season here already. I have a love-hate relationship with this season. The big pool is a pain in the rump to take care of, but the kids love it. This past weekend, my dh got the little pools out and the younger kids had a great time.

Flying Evie...


Hard landing...


Isaac prefers the hose...


It's also "spend time outside every night until dark" season. Now, this season I love. The weather is wonderful and the kids get tuckered out every night and sleep well during this season.LOL We have some neighborhood friends that we spend time with most nights but even on days when we're on our own, we have lots for the kids to do...

What a blessing these evenings are for our family.

Christmas Photos 2008

This year, we decided to have a family photo taken for our Christmas card. A friend of ours offered to take the pictures for us and we not only took him up on it, we stole his yard for the backdrop too.LOL Here's some of the great photos he took for us.

Pose #1


This one was taken while we were getting into another pose. I like it.lol


We almost used this photo for our cards.lol


A good older kid photo...


A good younger kid photo...


Us. We haven't had a new photo of us in YEARS!


The one we chose for our card this year...


Now for the funny...after this photo was taken, Allison, Jon and I all got haircuts and dye jobs and none of us look the same. :snort:

Here is what the older kids look like...
