Hunter's Birthday

Saturday the 27th was Hunter's Birthday and Party. He had a great day, here are a few pictures from the party.

Next party is Kiki's birthday and Christmas...pictures to follow

Christmas - round two!

The whole family was over with a lot of laughs and fun as usual. We had a really fun day I hope everyone else did too. I didn't really take that many because I was running around like a crazy person as usual. Hunter took a ton of pictures with Nancy's camera. He was taking pictures of every one's butt. (?) I think there may be a new game, called name that butt...oh, help us!! Well now we are off to get things for the next party, Hunter's Birthday party on Saturday. Enjoy the few pictures...

Christmas Morning - round one!

This was bright and early when the kids got up and saw all their presents from Santa.

In about an hour all the Family will be over for fun and more presents....

The Reason for the Season...

Wahhh!

I picked the wrong time to hurt my back...I know there's never a right time but NOW in the middle of this busy time. I think I just bent over a twisted the wrong way and ouch. I've never had lower back pain before, and man it hurts. So needless to say this weekend I was basically bedridden. This morning I took four Advil and went to the store. I had to get all the grocery shopping done and of course the store didn't have everything so, now I'm off to another store before the Advil wear off. Off I go, wish me luck!

Let the party planning begin...

Whoo-hoo, I'm off work until January 5th 2009. Now I need to get busy around the house and be a Mom. The kids have a half day today and then they are off too. I need to sort through and mark all the boxes that are being dropped off by who the kids call the 'Present Man' (aka UPS driver). Lynn, Ed, Kyle, Eddie and Gary sent presents for everyone. I used to open them up and wrap them all, but this year's theme is going to be cardboard, no wrapping, maybe a bow...lol
Then I need to go grocery shopping for Christmas brunch, I was going to try a new menu but the usual is so good and pretty easy to prepare. So we're going with easy. Plus I need to get stuff for Christmas dinner, for Paul's dad and whoever else wants to come or stay over there is always plenty. Next is Hunter's Birthday party on the 27th, the first time we actually are having his party on the actual birthday. We were thinking easy food, like hot dogs, hot links, and maybe Aunt Kathy can make her chili that Paul's dad loved so much...hint, hint...I still need to call her.
Then Ed, Gary and Kiki are coming in for her party on January 3rd, thankfully Eddie is doing the food. Can't wait for that.
Well I must get busy around here, laundry is calling...

Big Bear Snow...finally

Nancy sent this from the Cabin. I hope they have chains....

Here are the pictures from the Parade.

We had a blast with our good friends the Eynon's, Enjoy the Slideshow...

What the Chicken?!

You know when you see something you just have to buy it. Well this was a perfect shirt for Hunter...

He loves the Chicken and he really doesn't have A.D.D. (no offense-it's just a funny shirt)

Special Guest at the after parade party

These picture are from the party after the Christmas parade.
Thanks to my friend Christine she took this picture for me.

We had a good time and of course Santa was the highlight after the parade. The kids were a little tired and thirsty as usual, but it was a fun night.

We will receive lots more photos from the Boeing photographer and I will post then when they are available. There are a bunch of really cute ones.

Have a great week...

A busy weekend ahead...

Tis' the season to be busy, and it all starts this weekend and continues on in to the New Year, our calendar is filling up fast. Tonight we have an awards ceremony for Kimber's Girl Scouts and then a little reception afterwards. Saturday morning Kimber begins her hip-hop dance class. She has been looking forward to that for a while now. Then Saturday night we are marching in the Belmont Shore Christmas Parade this will be our 3rd year marching with my work. It is a really fun night we march in the parade and then go back to my work on a bus and have a nice dinner and entertainment then Santa comes and brings each and every child a very nice gift. Sunday Kimber sings at chapel and then hopefully we can stay home rest and get ready for the week ahead. I'll make sure I post pictures of our fun weekend on the next posting. Well I must get back to the laundry, and cleaning on my Friday off.
Enjoy your weekend!
