Halloween

I am a fool and deleted all the pictures of Halloween thinking I had blogged them. Oh the kids were so good this year. I'll have to figure out how to get the pictures off of facebook to put them on here. Ugh I am so mad at myself. BTW the kids and dog were Ang, Katara, and Appa from The Last Airbender cartoon. I am proud to say that I semi-homemade their costumes too.

Christmas 2011

This year was a fun one,
We revolted and decided not to travel(you know me being 6 mo preg and Ed gone I just wanted to stay home for once)
Here are the pictures of what we have done since Fri (the night before Christmas eve)

 Christmas pizzas for pizza movie night

 Their faces as they walked in to see the presents Christmas morning.

 Kevin and Santa(Mr. Bill) at the MOMS club Christmas party

 All the loot

 They made out like bandits, again this year

 Even Annie got in on the action

 Sugar cereal for breakfast.

 The aftermath

 Ready for church, sorry it's sideways

How we spent a lot of the day. Kevin had a rough breathing day so he had treatment every 3.5-4 hrs and Anya played leapster games, watched movies and played with all the toys.

Thank you to all our friends and family who made the Christmas so spectacular, and seriously low key!

Easter 2011

Our MOMS club went to the local Senior Center for Easter this year. There was an egg hunt, snack, visiting with some of the residents, and of course the Easter bunny.


Oh and because I am a total slacker these are the ONLY pictures I have of Easter, yep I pretty much suck.

One more reason I could not live in UT

Introducing my new addiction.

If you haven't had them, don't. They are just too good. Imagine a thin mint without the fudge. OH SO GOOD!


Utah doesn't have Trader Joe's - which has the BEST junk food.

Hello, Christmas 15!

Christmas pageant

The kids got to take part in the Primary Christmas pageant at the ward party this year.
Kevin is not officially a sunbeam until Jan, but because our Primary is so small he has already given a talk and has gotten to be a shepherd!
How do I flip pictures

When I was pregnant with Anya and people would ask what I was having I would joke and say, "Hopefully not a dog!"
Anya has just recently discovered she is human. She was a dog for 3 years and the animals change by the minute. She was THRILLED when she got to be a donkey for the show!
The children did great!! It was a fun night had by all!

halloween recap

Trixie and Racer X from the movie/cartoon Speed Racer, no one knew who they were but they didn't care!!
Parade at school(it was FREEZING)Evan's birthday party.
Town Halloween Parade, we luckily have good friends who own a store on Main street so we were able to be on their front steps out of the chaos a little!
Somewhere near us a man was smoking a cigar, this was Anya's reaction!

It was a fun and exhausting weekend and I am glad I was able to make the costumes that they wanted!!

Happy Mother's Day

Watch this little clip!
So funny!
Almost makes me want to get a minivan!

My Mother's Day consisted of screaming fights, spanking and child or two, 6:oo pm bedtime, painting, and dinner made by Bill. Love steak, cheesy potatoes, and feta salad. Thanks Bill for making my day, when my hubby couldn't!

Christmas at last!

I wish you could've heard. It was awesome!

Look Mal!

Holidays are always exciting for us. We can't make plans until the very last minute because Ed never knows if he will have to work or not.

Therefore, I pack quickly and forget the camera!

Thanksgiving - We spent in CT with Grandpop and Grandma, Allison and Eileen.

Anya was a waterhorse the whole long weekend - she spent all the time she could swimming in the hot tub.

Kevin had a great time playing with all the animals ( 5 dogs and 2 cats) , helping pull down the apple tree and eating CAKE!



Tuesday night Ed's Grandmother passed away and we spent the weekend remebering her and attending her funeral. She lived a wonderful, full life and passed away at home after 94 years. Isabelle Anne Lonegan, thank you for your wondeful legacy.
I have a wonderful picture I will put here when I am on my computer and not Ed's!

Happy Halloween

For the actual day of Halloween the kids had the flu so here are the pre-Halloween festivities.
MOMS club trunk or treat
Vivian the princess, Anya the skunk, Marian the tree, and Kevin the monster.
Pumpkin patch field trip with school
Hailey, Jessica, Julia, Anya, and Aspen
The perfect pumpkin
The giant Pumpkin, in the middle of the patch. I am not sure who most of the kids are.

Easter at the convalescent center

Every holiday our MOMS club goes to our local convalescent center to visit the elderly and have a little party. Anya always has a blast, here was Easter.

Doing the hokey poky with the E bunny!

No pictures

I forgot my camera for Christmas. I have no pictures.

We went to CT for Christmas. It was really crazy and hectic and we were all sick, but it was fun and worth it. All my sisters, their husbands/boyfriend, and child were there. I have realized that Mom's house is big when it is only her and us, but when everyone is there that house is TINY! It was a lot of fun and craziness.

I learned that my kids are super spoiled by all their Grandparents and cousins. We had a totally full car and Santa even came to our house this year not Grandma's! Poor Annie was crammed around toys in the trunk for the ride home.

While there I also got to visit some friends from where I used to work in CT. It was so good to see them, it didn't feel like 5 years had gone by. I am excited for the next time. I am hoping even more of us can get together. We had lots of fun, but am so glad to be home!

Halloween

We had so much fun this year. Grandma Webster came down and we visited for the weekend. We started out the night with a haunting dinner, sloppy joes, fingers(pretzel rods, ham and almonds) and pumpkin rice. The kids wouldn't touch the rice, it was just orange rice pressed into a ball.

We got into costumes and went trick or treating. One teenager said that Kevin's costume was so awesome it made him want to tap dance. I think that was a good thing?! Even Annie got in on the act this year!
