Thanks for visiting our site! I will continue to post pictures and updates here for everyone to see, and as a keepsake for Jake, Ty, Kylie and Carter. It is hard to believe how quickly they grow. I am so afraid I will forget a memory or important milestone as time goes on. Hopefully this blog will help, and give us a chance to share with family and friends. Please feel free to post a comment, you do not have to have an account.

Marine Tribute
Jake's school had a tribute to the Marine's flag salute. It was very sweet and I could see many mom's tearing up. We collected canned food and money for turkeys. I am so thankful for all our military and the sacrifice they provide! The kids also got a surprise visit from Santa.
Holiday Baking
The boys were more than happy to help with the holiday baking this year! We made chocolate mint cookies and snickerdoodles.
Legos w/ Daddy
Matt has been waiting for the kids to be old enough for "real legos." He loved Legos growing up and still has a prized airplane we have displayed. The kids are loving it. Now to keep Kylie away!
Tree Trimming
The kids had fun with the tree this year. They actually helped a lot and I hardly had to hang any ornaments! It was also the first year we broke a couple :)

Jake's 6th Birthday Party
We headed to the movies to see Planet51 for Jake's 6th birthday. Afterwards we had ice cream at Cold Stone. We had 7 kids, and no parents. They all did great!
Picking out the Tree
We headed way out to...Home Depot :) to pick out the tree. Jake pretty much chose our tree, and the rest of us went along.
Jake tries out Karate
Jake got 2 weeks of Karate lessons for his birthday from Nana. He is loving it. Mom is loving that they teach them respect and doing chores at home!
Santa!
Kylie is at that stage where she is not so fond of being handed off to strangers, not to mention ones in crazy red suits with lots of hair! We were just lucky she sat in his lap long enough for the pic. One back arch and she would be on the floor. The boys had fun, I think. I didn't get much of a chance to see their interaction. Jake said he asked for a double light saber and Ty asked for a fire truck. Ahhhh, can't wait to see what next year holds!
