cute cousins

We are lucky to have great cousins nearby!  Over the holiday weekend we had Aunt Wend and kids come for a visit.

basketball #3

With most sports that our kids play we don't take pictures until usually the last game.  Sorry Aust, we have very few pics of you playing basketball this year.  He really did have a great year, they even won the championship!  He had a great coach and a fun team!

birthday

This year my birthday was on a Sunday.  Typically I don't love Sunday birthdays but this one was amazing.  My family totally took care of me.  I didn't have to cook, clean up and I even got to have a nap.  My favorite gift was a trip to Italy!  How lucky am I?

jelly bellies are my favorite (and hayd's and ain's)

award

Parker was given the RESPECT award for his class at an assembly for his school.  He was so excited and we were super proud of him.  He couldn't stop smiling.

basketball #2

Park played in the town basketball league this year.  His team did terrific and he had a great time.  He was an animal on the court and constantly had to be reminded to stay on his man and not check everyone on the court!  His coach was great and he had many friends from school on the team.

New Years Baby

So...the day after Christmas Hayden and I were sick and throwing up (didn't gain a pound over Christmas break :).  The next day McCall was down, next Ainsley and finally Austin.  It was a violent bug that lasted over 24 hours and completely wiped us out.  On New Years Day it even hit Jeremy (he never gets sick!).  By that time I was a little exhausted and surprised that the New Years Baby came!

mcCall thrilled with her "pillow pal".  hayd is devastated that she didn't get the unicorn :(
