Christmas Cookies Anyone?

We had a bunch of fun making ginger bread men...okay sugar cookie men today! As you can see, they look absolutely delicious! Paris' friend Maddy was over having fun too!

Halloween 2007

Halloween is always a blast with kids! We had school functions, church functions, and then of course the real deal! They had plenty of practice before performing for the neighbors. Everyone decided on one costume except Paris. She found our costume bin and wanted to be raggedy ann, a witch, and The Little Mermaid, so of course she had to be all 3! We had enough functions to be all! When my kids saw Paris as Raggedy Ann they all said look it's "Jo-Jo"! (for those of you without little kids, Jo-Jo is a little circus clown on the disney channel) I'm getting so old. I had to explain who Raggedy Ann was! Madison stayed home with mom this year and passed out candy while dad took the kids out. Everytime someone knocked or rang our bell, she would make this excited sound and point to the door! When we opened the door, she was always surprised at who was staring back!

Pre-School Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Paris' class got to go to a pumpkin patch for a field trip and Madison got to tag along too! Unfortunately, it was in the upper 90's during this trip so we stuck to the animals and then flocked to the shade! This was our first year without even carving a pumpkin! I have to say these new fake pumpkins are awesome! No mess!

It's a Party!

Our annual Halloween party was a success! We had so much fun! I was lucky enough to have my sister Shavonne in town to help out with all the little details! It's always tons of work, but so worth it! We decided not to do a murder mystery party this year and opted for a costume party! As you can see everyone participated and we gave away some sweet prizes for the winners! Bet ya can't wait to see what happens next year!

Minding our own business...

This is the result of being home on a Sunday afternoon ignoring the 4 wheelers flying up and down the street! This is what happens when you add a 10 year old little boy + a 4 wheeler + 50 year old uncle racing him in a residential neighborhood! The little boy turned out to be ok, but he was really lucky!

A whole bunch of 1st's!

The new school year has began! We have 3 of our 4 now in school! Another year older...

Girl Time!

I walked into the bathroom and noticed that Madison had just learned to climb up into the sink! Of course while holding my sunglasses! How she managed I'm a little unsure, but they seem to remain in one piece! Within a minute or so big sister Paris joined the picture party! Madison is just learning that you're supposed to smile for the camera! We had fun.

Happy 6th Birthday Boston

Boston turns 6! He was so excited to find out how much he'd grown overnight! He wanted spaghetti for dinner, his favorite. When it came time for presents he was really hoping for a CD player. Every night his sisters get to go to sleep blasting the childrens primary CD, it really makes Boston mad and all he's wanted since they got that CD was for his own CD to blast right back. Well we were crazy and made his wish come true. We endured about 15 minutes of the Primary chorus VS Baby Einstein Lullabye's before we had to put a volume cap on both!

Paris Turns 4!

Paris turned 4 on June 18th! She was able to invite her friends over for a pool party! After swimming she got to open all her presents and then finished the evening with having a friend spend the night! They were so excited! They stayed up late and watched Ratatouille, ate popcorn, and finally fell asleep! Brooklyn and Boston enjoyed the party too!

Posing in the backyard!

Aunt Sky was here for EFY, so while she was here we decided to put the kids in the backyard before it got too hot and take some cute pictures! They did good!

Phil's Turns 30!

We had a surprise party for Phil after work on his birthday, June 1st. He actually didn't even have a clue! I went through the rigorous task of finding 30 gifts to wrap and keep hidden during the weeks prior! When the day finally came, he and the kids had a blast ripping through them!

Graduation Time

Graduation Time! Brooklyn received several awards this year for outstanding achievements and Boston just began to like Kindergarten. It all goes by too fast!
