Chuck E Cheese

We decided to take the kids to Chuck E Cheese! So we headed up with Brya's family and had so much fun! I have to say I still have lots of fun there!!

(We haven't gone since in a REALLY long time and Madison's asks about going all the time!)

Emma was so excited! This was her first time going when she was old enough to play and she spent the whole time riding all the cars!

She even started catching rides with strange men!
At least she goes for the talk, dark, and handsome type!!
As I was doing this post I noticed that we do not have one single picture of Madison or Brya's kids. I guess we were just trying to make it fair since Madison has SO many!!

More Pictures of our Angels

Since it had been awhile since I posted I have a lot to update on so here we go! In January Madison started ABC School, like Joy School! She loves it!! In the beginning she would get up everyday and ask if she was going to school! She has so much fun and the people we do it with are so great!
Brad, Madison and Emma have now taken to watching Phineas and Pherb! A cartoon that is surprisingly funny! Emma now has part of the beginning memorized, sad I know!!

Emma is following in her sister's footsteps, she loves to be on the phone!!

Funny story that has to be remembered!!

The other day Brya came down to go to our friend's baby shower. Brad watched Brya's four and ours (he is a brave man!) When we got home the older three were on the couch in towels. They had gotten in the water out back and so Brad gave them a bath. Well the boys clothes were still in the dryer when we got home so to preserve the girls innocence we got clothes for the boys, since I only have girls they were girl clothes. We had mixed reactions!! Wyatt screamed and cried about putting on the "girl clothes." Then there was Dayton who was more then happy to wear them. In fact when we finally took them off we had to fight him to take them off and he was hugging the panties and shirt saying "mine." It was hilarious!

The kids playing ring-around-the -rosies! Emma fell down too soon!!

Emma probably watching Phineas and Pherb again! I just love her outfit, don't you?

Ice Cream

Well I know it has been forever!! I have finally found a second to blog!! Things have been very crazy around here and I just haven't had the time and when I do I just want to vegetate!! So here are a couple pictures I thought were cute!! My girls have taken on my liking of Ice cream!!
The only difference is they like chocolate, which they get from their father!! I thought this one was just hilarious!! Can you believe those teeth!! They are so cute BUT I know she won't think so when shes older!! So we are yet again trying to get her to stop sucking her fingers!! Wish us luck!! If anyone has suggestions that would be GREAT!!

I thought this one was just cute, it was valentines day and that was the monkey Madison got for her!! The dollar store is fantastic!!

Christmas

This Christmas was fabulous!! Madison was so excited!! She ran out looked around and decided she didn't' get her Santa present she wanted, before even opening it!! That is how excited she was!Emma's present was a huge success!!
And Madison did get her Pop n' style cabbage patch!! She loved it!! She's only been asking for it since before her birthday in September!!

True to form Emma had just as much fun with the boxes as she did with her presents.

My favorite was between a video camera and my cricut!! Brad did REALLY good this year!!

(Ignore the picture!! I had to document Brad's great year! He is SO proud of himself!!!)

Even Aunt Heather and Aunt Jess had fun with the toys!!

We had a great Christmas spending time with family!! I'd say it was our best yet!! Kids just make Christmas so much more!!

Christmas Eve

Today was a pretty busy day! We had to get the house cleaned, finish up shopping, family over the morning and then again in the evening!!

But we did find time to dance to the Christmas music and the girls had a blast!!

It was hilarious, one of the songs we had on was Elvis' "Santa bring my baby back to me." Madison was singing with it and in the beginning it says " I don't need a lot of presents," right after she said that she said "oh, no we do need a lot of presents!!" It was the funniest thing!! I swear we really do talk about the true meaning of Christmas!!

Brad's family came over and we watched a movie about Christ's birth and then played our New FaVOrIte game "Things"!!

The night ended with the girls opening their Christmas P.J.'s which they loved, a little more then I expected!!

Which is always nice when it works out that way!!

When Madison got in her bed she actually pulled back the curtain to find a star to make a wish for Santa to come. I don't know if that means she's done something bad I don't know about, so Santa wouldn't come OR she's just really excited!!

Hopefully it's just the REALLY excited!

Christmas Carolers

For our project this week we made carolers.  I thought they turned out pretty cute!! The hats look cuter if they are the same color as the people but I am a boring sock person!! White is pretty much all we have!!

Kids, Kids, and more Kids

I started watching two little boys when school started and just started watching two more little girls!! Kind of crazy yes but its only twice a week, so not to bad!! After watching 6 kids (including mine) for a day I decided I needed to have a project a day to brake up the monotony for the kids and me!!So we made Kool-Aid play dough!!
It was REALLY easy, smelt GREAT (we used Cherry) and was a hit!!
And we always have time for dress up, apparently EVERYONE enjoys it!! Today we added another little girl and boy so we had LOTS of little princesses!!
