Sisters

It's so great to have Kristina home for a lengthy time. We can just relax (as much as that's possible getting ready for the holidays) and enjoy her.

I absolutely LOVE watching my girls together. The sister bond between them is so tight. It's amazing. Thank you God for my two girls... With your help I must have done something right in raising them.

I am truly blessed this holiday season!

Family Guitar Hero

Just doesn't get any more fun than this!

Remember this??? It's coming again soon!

Hard to believe that with all that snow we only went sledding ONCE! Not so this year!

A Star is Born

I love it when we catch Kiara being creative when she doesn't know we're watching. Here she is playing the piano... she is reading the words in the music book and singing them to her own tune while she accompanies herself on the piano... Wow! Take a listen... you'll LOVE it!

A New Bed!

We finally got a bed for Kiara! She LOVES it. We found it on Craig's list for a good deal. Kiara will now model here new bedroom set for you... (Vanna White here we come!)

It replaces the office desk...


















adds a dresser or two (7 drawers!)

















tons of storage ( this drawer is for a trundle bed, but we use it to put all her STUFF


















and a play area in the back!




















It's big and takes up a lot of space in the little room, but well worth it!



Now we're working on keeping things OFF the floor and where they belong! Both daddy and Kiara need help in this area :)

Vacation

Our awesome vacation started out with a weekend in Vegas!

Then on to Scott and Kristina's in Yuma! We had fun with Audrey and her friend Izzy that they were babysitting, went shooting with Scott's new gun, celebrated my birthday with Mom, David, Aunt Patti & Bobby and Sharon and got our hair done! Doesn't get much better than that!

We spent the first and last night with Dena and her fam... We went out to dinner with them my birthday... Best birthday ever!

Been a Busy Week (as usual!)

Mead made it to STATE in gymnastics! Woo Hoo! We'll be heading to Seattle next weekend. Cortnie competed on BEAM.... Here's her routine and a great picture!

They honored the senior Cheerleaders at the last home basketball game. We were all there to give Cortnie flowers and tell her we loved her and how proud of her we were...

Kiara participated in a Cheer Clinic at Riverside. She had a Blast! Here's one of her performances.



Alex got Guitar Hero World Tour for his x-box... He's obsessed with drumming now! Everyone enjoys when he brings it over! We did some serious jammin' tonight!

Oh My Aching Back!

We can't believe how much snow we've gotten! We shoveled the roof today. Brian and I can't move! Tim and Cortnie helped... we couldn't have done it without them! We jumped off the roof into the snow afterward cause that was less scary than going back down the ladder!

Here's some more fun pics of all the snow!
