Winter Break

Just some random photos that sum up our winter break and a couple days off we had in January. Those were kinda fun and unexpected.


This guy is known as the garbage man - he is most often found after being released from his high chair at the kitchen table scouring whatever leftovers he can find.


We have a love for games and when we get new ones for Christmas it is always fun to play.


I love it when my bigs love and play with my littles. Z must have enjoyed some one on one time with Shaddy too.


Dad loves a good dance party and why not all stand on the coffee table. Geez that thing must be strong!




For my birthday I got some sweet cards from my kiddos. A yummy breakfast, toes and shopping with two of my favorite girls and dinner out with my hubs. It was a great day!


Just the boys on Tuesday's for an hour while Ells is at dance. They make me laugh with the games and craziness they come up with.


The garbage man again this time pre dinner I believe.


Dad thought everyone needed a Jets jersey. Since tebow doesn't play for them anymore they are clearing out jerseys at excellent prices. D even got me one. Who knows maybe next year I will break it out for a big game or something!


Another new game - Catan Jr. - Its been a fun one to play with the kids especially since we love the big one.



This girl and her craziness can't be beat. Crazy glasses and she is the hoarding queen. Tons and tons of stuff in that girls room I tell ya. The other picture is her shop - she has been creating art and selling it. The prices are a bit steep like $60 or so a picture. But she does take credit cards and you can even purchase them online :). Sage has started selling some too. His a bit cheaper 3 cents I believe. My kind a man!




Playing outside on a beautiful day where the temps were up in the 40s. It didn't last long!



Doing our newest fun gift from Frama and Papa - a kiwi crate. We made a treasure chest to hide and some maps to find it. Also got to create some other kinda maps and pretend we were pirates. The bottom picture is our pirate flags and our pirate faces.

New Years


We spent our New Years celebrating with our bests from up north. There little guy and Z are pretty right on in age and we got to hang with them last year too.

Didn't take too many pictures since we were having just way too much fun catching up on life!

The boys did tackle a little project for me which was super helpful!


It is complete and sitting in the garage but doubtful I'll get a final picture of this guy til he is sitting in my new half bath. Which by the way they are trimming the house out and setting cabinets - kinda seeing it take real shape which is the fun part i think!

Christmas: Just Us





Merry Christmas 2015

seems like we always sneak in one early gift... makes the fun last longer! 











 the fun of Christmas eve...playing in new jammies and sleeping in mom and dad's room (well not z)

Christmas morning...

































Some of the favorite gifts were...
D - his new jets slippers
K - new running shoes (might be a bit before I get going on those)
Shadd - trip to the Ryder Cup with D and his new wii games
Ells - spirograph and large pad of paper & bitty baby blokus set
Sage - the hulk remote control car
Z - maybe his drum set or everyone else's toys

Then we spent the afternoon surrounded by boxes, playing games and playing in the snow!
