Sledding at the Trax station.

We decided to go sledding over the weekend, before the kids went back to school. We don't really have any hills near our house, but they recently put a trax station about two miles from us. It has the perfect man made hills for kids. We weren't the only ones with the idea. There were a lot of people there that day. These are just a few pics of the kids. They had a blast. Now every time we pass the station they ask if we can go again. It is a great activity for the kids, (tires them out) and it's free too.

Our Girls

Mailey asked if she could use some of my makeup. I opted to do it for her, since I didn't want to find broken eyeshadow or my eyeliner gone. We had a lot of fun, and even did her hair curly. I let her wear my red high heals just for fun. I got a glimpse of her as a teenager. I think I'm scared. She asked me when she could start wearing make-up for real. I told her the twelfth of never. Alright maybe when she's twelve. Ah, they grow up so fast.

This first picture is Kieryns evil smile, it just oozes stinker-in-the-making. The second one is Scott stealing kisses from her, she hates that. You can tell she's working up a scream by the look on her face. She will only give kisses if it's her idea. Scott loves to torment her. Kieryn in the tub, isn't she cute? I love it when they start to play and have fun in the tub. When she was smaller, she'd scream her head off. She has the funniest expressions.

Happy Birthday to the best dad and Hubby ever!

Yesterday was Scotts thirty fifth Birthday! Thanks Hon, for all you do for us you are the best. We love you!

Bah humbug!!

We got our Christmas tree up finally. I usually put it up the day after Thanksgiving at the latest. most of the time it is the week before. This year I just didn't feel like doing it. This year has gone by so fast that it doesn't even seem like Christmas time. Christmas isn't my favorite time of year, but it is my kids favorite time. Scott told them all that I was going to put it up today, and they wouldn't stop bugging me until I did. I am very particular about how I want it decorated, and usually do it without the kids.(I'm a control freak, I know.) This time I didn't care, and let them just put anything up they wanted. It turned out pretty good and they are all very proud of their decorating abilities. Just ignore their goofy faces.

Girls night out.

Last weekend my mom, and sister's and I had a girls night out. We left all the kiddos home with the dad's and just took the babies. My youngest sister's, inlaws let us barrow thier cabin. This is a view from inside looking out. It was snowing.



We hiked a little bit, and took rides on the mule.



We watched chick flicks, ate junk food, played games, and talked all night. We had a blast. My oldest sister couldn't make it. We missed you Lynea.




Kieryn and her cousin Maycee had so much fun playing together. They are only a month apart.

Kieryn's 6 month pictures

My cute baby girl. I got these done yesterday, and copied them off the blog of the lady who took them. These ones aren't the one's I picked out but they are still sooo adorable. Of course I am biased. The only thing that I am not so fond of, are the funky hats she sometimes puts on her. The one's I picked are of her smiling, and without the big hats. Kieryn makes the funniest expressions. I wish she'd have put the one with her big frown. Oh-well. Would you look at those chunky legs, so stinkin cute!!!
