Basketball Season

Here are a few pictures of Toni's basketball games, I'm lucky I got the ones I did because its so hard to take pictures and or video while your watching the games. I missed some really good plays because I was taking pictures.

She is in the center of most of these pictures #10.

pregame pep talk

Toni looks so small jumping up next to that girl. Her favorite part about basketball is stuffing the ball.

She's the one in the middle off the ground.

She's shooting the ball in this one, she made that shot too!

It's been a while

Its seems like its been forever since I've blogged and I have birthdays and a school dance coming up that I will need to blog so I have a lot to catch up on. I can't post pictures out of the order from when they were taken, it's one of those OCD things. I don't know where the time goes December and January are so busy. So anyway I'm catching up with a few pictures from Christmas and a couple pictures of Tylee and Taegan before they went to their Christmas program.

This is half of the room

and this is the other half

Bo and Kenny doing a chest bump, they were trying to get Jake to do it and he looked at them like they were crazy.

I made this pillow for Maddy but Payton wasn't giving it up, she drug it around everywhere she went.

Tami made this blanket for Taegan

I got a thumbs up from Kenny, so I guess I did good.

Toni and Mariah, they're always posing.

Colton was teaching Maddy how to make a heart shape with her fingers.

Tylee waiting patiently for a present to open.

Tori posing for the camera

These are pictures of Tylee and Taegan when they were all dressed up for their Christmas program. I loved they way they were posing with each other so I wanted to share them.

Christmas Program

I know its a little late to post this but we got ourselves a new video camera for Christmas and besides being busy with everything its taken me a while to figure out how to put the video on the computer and get it to the blog. This video clip is just so funny that I had to share it.

This is Taegan and her partner at their Christmas program dancing. You have to pay close attention to his hands just right before he grabs Taegan's.

I know, its GROSS huh!

I did make her wash her hands afterwards though.

Snow Day means NO School

I don't mind the snow but I think I would rather have the kids at school. They were in and out of the house all day tracking snow in and leaving the doors open, it was driving me crazy. It started barely snowing last night and the girls were so excited because they didn't want to have to go to school. They started planning all the fun things they could do in the snow, and I told them not to get their hopes up because it probably would be melted by tomorrow morning. Well, I guess I was wrong. Then Tori tells me she prayed for it to snow a whole bunch when she went to bed last night.

This was at about 6:30 this morning

Tim measured the snow on our car and it was 9 inches deep and the picture below is our picnic table.

Chuck-E-Cheese

Just for the record, I hate going to Chuck-E-Cheese its chaos, gross pizza, full of germs with snotty nose kids running around not being supervised, you spend $50.00 to get a couple of pizzas and tokens so they can get those stupid ticket and then stand in line for 30 minutes to get a couple of 3 cent toys that break on the way home. We did it all for you Jake! We went because it was Jake's Birthday my nephew and the girls really wanted to go. They love going there and the only time they got to go was when their uncle Preston would be visiting, he would always take them. Then we convinced him to take them to John's Incredible Pizza once and now I think we have him hooked. Its so much better, its cleaner and good pizza, salad, and dessert bar, its all you can eat too and as long as they have skeet ball he's happy.

Jake thought it was funny to put cake all over his face.

I think Mariah and Toni had more fun than the little kids did.

This little boy had a crush on Mariah he blew her a kiss when they were up in the tunnel and he didn't like Toni being with her. He was pulling on her hoody as they were trying to go down the slide.
